Excessive ads that interrupt usage
Perceived fake reviews or misleading performance claims about the app
Inconsistent performance across different wall materials or conditions

Recent reviews

While it doesn't show as clearly as expected when there is a reasing (you sort of just have to watch for when it spikes higher), it works pretty decently and was consistent in it's readings throughout the modes, plus seemed accurate when double checked w/ a tap test. I didn't get a single ad the whole time, even switching back and forth between modes multiple times.
