An app in the App Store called Lunar is currently the third most popular app in the Health and Fitness category after launching just three months ago. The listing in the App Store says that Lunar "tracks your period, ovulation, fertility, and much more." And the app also says that it helps women get pregnant by telling them when they are most fertile and able to conceive. Lunar also claims to be able to test users' blood sugar, blood pressure, ovulation levels and the genetic makeup of their unborn child merely by scanning their fingertips or stomach using a smartphone camera.

Two of the bogus claims made by the Lunar app according to Huffington Post

Google has already kicked the app off of the Google Play Store where it had an average review of 4.7 out of 5. You can't trust any of these reviews since the developer behind Lunar offered people the chance to win a $25 Sephora gift card by leaving a 5-star review of the app. Before the app was banned by Google, it was one of the Play Store's top free Health & Fitness apps.

Lunar bribed people to get a 5-star rating

Some of the claims made by Lunar on social-media sound like they are old-wives tales aimed at the ignorant. On Facebook, Lunar told women to pee in a glass and add salt as a pregnancy test. At least one woman complied and posted a photo of her pee. On Instagram, it posted that women can enlarge their breast size by rubbing them "to flush out toxins and stimulate their growth." And in a blog post, Lunar said that women need to gain weight and go on a vegan diet to increase their chances of having twins.

One of the fears that experts have is that consumers will truly believe that health claims made by the app and use it in lieu of a visit to the doctor. Product-review expert Saoud Khalifah says, "People are getting duped and in many cases, legitimate businesses cant compete anymore because there are people leveraging nefarious tactics to get ahead. Platforms arent stopping them."
