Warning: the application that promises to measure your heart rate by Touch ID applies a dash of $ 329.90!

Yesterday we talked about how some very controversial developers use loopholes in the rules and guidelines of the App Store to cheat and apply scams on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.

Here is another example of an application that should not have been approved by Apple – and which, in this case, is intended for the Brazilian public. That's it! This app, titled Measuring Heart Rate Promotes Measuring Your Heart Rate Using Touch ID and Features Advertisements Saying It's One project developed by the "Brazilian Ministry of Health." Also note that his icon has a representation of the map of Brazil below the heart.

The idea, without selection, would be commendable: rest your finger on the sensor

But distrust already begins in this story of "Ministry of Health", after all, the good is the department of the Health And such an application, the government, would hardly be distributed in the App Store on an account of a developer called Paula Gonzalez .

The biggest problem is the inability of the Touch ID sensor to perform such tasks, that it is to measure the heart rate or blood pressure (data in the video of the 39; application). There is no button on the technology capable of accomplishing such tasks and deadlines. That in itself would already be a nice shot, but the catwoman behind the application has gone further: as shown in Gabriel Bini in the video below, the application simply tries To "measure your heart rate", the application prompts you to place your finger on the Touch ID.

In doing so, after a few seconds, the brightness of the screen is reduced to a minimum, making it difficult to view information that appears on the screen. And then, my friend, with your finger on the Touch ID, a $ 329.90 purchase alert appears, which you can not of course see right. When the person understands what happened, he is gone.

But if you are a ninja and see the alert, there is no point in trying to cancel because the same screen of purchase of the application will come back insistently until you buy the app or play your phone on the wall. . It's at this level.

And you see, even without your finger on the Touch ID, the supposed heart rate measurement is still there, "works perfectly". Want more? On iPhones and iPads with Face ID, the cardiac monitoring account also occurs and the application simply charges even the $ 329.90 on the face of the key without shame! 1965

Gabriel has already denounced the application for Apple, which must take not only, but all those who use sordid tactics to recover our hard earned money. Meanwhile, here's the hint: quit the application called Measuring heart rate .

It's just a warning here: there are serious app store apps that measure your heart rate. This is not done by the Touch ID, but by the rear camera badociated with the use of the flash – a good example of honest application that fulfills this function is the Runtastic Heart Rate [PRO] or the Brazilian Heart Care. .
