I want to like it but . . .
As much as I want to like this app I can’t use it. My exercise rings on Apple Watch Series 5 will literally go from less than 1/4 way around to full and complete in less than 5 minutes of typing. I could see that possibly if it happened daily because I’m a telephonic nurse and type all day long. Problem is it might happen once every few weeks and it throws off my averages. I thought maybe uninstalling and reinstalling would resolve it but it did it again today after a few days of being reinstalled. I’ve purchased every extra on this app too because I really like what it does as a nurse but the inaccurate exercise numbers is a killer for me.

Superior App
Superior App hands down. Having a ugly issue with AFib, I have a need to pay attention. App graphs are amazing, you can easily see a clear picture of heart activity. If you need or want to stay on top of trends and activity then you have reached nirvana with Heart Analyzer. As a major bonus to the app is a developer who is responsive as well as willing to help. I had a issue with my app and sent an email hoping something stupid on my part was the problem. Developer was fast and more than willing to help, turned out to be my watch iOS was the issue and easily fixed. Plain and simple, superior app, fantastic graphics and display, developer willing to help and responsive. Best app I have downloaded in a very long time, thank you Heart Analyzer, you have my full support and gratitude for all of your work to develop this app.

Heart Rate Recovery Flawed
FYI to athletes looking to track HR Recovery, the “Deep Analytics” HR Recovery functionality is flawed this app. The issue is that most, if not all, workouts will include some kind of a cool down period before completing the workout where much of your HR recovery can be realized. This app isn’t able to recognize that condition. I noticed that my HR Recovery numbers were being scored as “poor” in both the 1-minute and 2-minute periods. My 1-minute recovery is typically 35-38 bpm but this app was reporting only 5-7. Hmmm. That’s when I realized it was only looking at my HR when I clicked “end” on my workout. I then tested the app by performing a workout where I immediately ended the workout without a cool down and it correctly calculated my recovery. So just be warned that if you utilize any kind of cool down, this app will misreport your HR Recovery.

Response from developer
Hi there, Really sorry to hear that you've had some trouble with the app. You are absolutly correct that Heart Analyzer's workout recovery is purely based on the time of completion of the workout. This is primarily because of the data that is available to the app but I'd love to discuss this a bit further and go over potential alternatives in future updates. Please get in touch via Simon@HelixApps.co.uk. Many thanks, Simon
Great app but need support
Has worked really well for me until the recent update which was advertised as a complete overhaul that would include more frequent complication updates but now it hardly updates ever. Usually have to open app on my watch to update. I do have refresh on.
Regardless of this I’ve really enjoyed the app and it’s worth every cent.

Was excited until......
When I first saw all the metrics this apps provides I quickly bought all premium features. Then I noticed that the app would crash when I go into workout data and slide the bottom heart information bar. Right when getting into the “metrics” view. I have rebooted phone, reinstalled app, open and Close the app and done it with and without rebooting phone when doing the app reinstall. I sent an email to the developer but then noticed they say it could take up to 10 WORKING days to respond. I downloaded this app because it was features in 9to5 as amazing which it looks like it is but can’t say if I can’t use one of the main features! Anyways, I know software is unpredictable but when a paid app has this issues (and apparently known based on other reviews) I think is unacceptable. I sent them a video with the exact issue since it only happens on that specific instance just to try to help. I hope it doesn’t take 10 days to get it fixed because I really look forward to use the app.

Hi there, really sorry to hear you're having trouble with the latest version of Heart Analyzer. We have identified this as an isolated issue when viewing some workouts. All the other areas of the app should not be affected though. I'm sorry about our long response time listed, but that is absolute worst case. Recently we've replied to all emails within 24 hours including yours, we also have a fix update for this due out very soon. I hope this all helps, please get back in touch though if you have any more issues via Simon@HelixApps.co.uk
Amazing app
I use this app daily, many many times. As an AF sufferer it gives me invaluable data that is incredibly accurate! My cardiologist loves that I can get this information at my fingertips. I compared it with my heart monitor in hospital and it was spot on. Love it. Keep adding features, I will purchase them all!

Great App!!
I was looking for an app it made more sense of my watches ability to measure my heart rate, and as luck would have it, I found this great app.
I appreciate the fact that the developer has my privacy in mind, and all data stays on the phone, and not sent to a website somewhere as Fitbit does.
The developer has been very responsive to questions and bug report, and seems to be very dedicated to maintaining and improving the app.
As a software developer myself, I know all too well sometimes bugs will creep in even though you’ve done your best to test and try to prevent them. I feel the developer has been very proactive in attempting to squash said bugs, As you can see there have been three updates in the last week.
The live heart rate feature on the watch, And the graphing options are excellent.
Keep up the good work! And thank you for caring about your users.

Needs another update
I’ve had the a app for a long time. The old version really didn’t do much, looked forward to new version. After updating, it would constantly open itself, and when I swiped right, would shutdown. It also caused a glitch in my Apple Watch to continue my activity rings from the previous day. I normally stand for 12-13 hours, get about 900 calories, and exercise for about 70 minutes. When I got the new update, I got 23 hours standing, 265 minutes of exercise, and 2564 calories. Totally messed everything up. Deleted app, everything works fine now.

It would be running in the background overnight
So I got this App because 9to5mac recommended it. After downloading it for whatever reason it wouldn’t show on the watch until I powered down both watch and phone then it finally showed up in my watch apps. My biggest problem is that while sleeping it would run my activity in the background so now upon waking up I already have 600 calories burned, I’ve stood the entire night and almost 100 minutes of exercise. This happened three nights in a row, and I would notice that on the top of my watch it show a white out version of the activity logo. But when I check my workouts nothing was posted, matter a fact none of my workout apps said I did anything. So I was really confused, now this happened when it was a set as a complication on my watch face. I didn’t bother to see if it did the same thing if it wasn’t a complication, but I went ahead and deleted it and now my watch is back to normal.
Also during those three times that my watch was going it would almost completely drain my battery.

Response from developer
Hi there, Apologies that you've had issues with the Watch app. We have now fixed the issue that could cause the watch to continuously measure your heart rate indefinitely. You may need to reinstall the watch app for the changes to take effect! You can also enable/disable the Live HR feature anytime by force touching in the watch app and selecting the Live HR button. I really hope this has fixed your issue and that you can update this review, but if not then please get in touch via Simon@HelixApps.co.uk, We'd love to help! Regards, Simon
Non-stemi heart attack
I've been using the app for about a year and no issues with it at all. 4th Feb I showed my cardiologist a graph by this app showing my heart rate going up for 50 mins through the night (Atrial fibrillation diagnosed)
Anyway now recovered and back running and quit sugar I rely on this App to see how my long mdistance running is going. 5/5 and well worth more money with a couple of modifications.
