There are a number of apps that measure heart rate in Android Play Store, but Cardiograph is one of the comprehensive app that is available in the market. It is also available for iOS at this iTunes links here (iPad app, iPhone app).


Once you install the app, follow these three steps to get an instant heart rate reading.


Step 1. Power on the device by tapping the START/STOP button.
Step 2. Gently place the tip of your index finger over the camera, so that it covers the lens completely.
Step 3. The readings will appear after a few seconds. The heart-shaped bars indicate measurement accuracy.

According to Mayo Clinic:

"For an adult, a normal resting heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats a minute. For a well-trained athlete, a normal resting heart rate may be closer to 40 beats a minute. For healthy adults, a lower heart rate at rest generally implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness."

The lower the heart beat rate, it is better. 

Just like all other apps, this may or may not be the accurate heart rate measurement but gives you a good idea about your heart health.
