  • Brilliant app

    A superb versatile app for exercising or simply playing.

    Literally the only thing I think could be added is the setting to switch off vibration when moving from zone to zone on the Apple Watch. Otherwise it’s a nearly flawless app!!

    Kudos developers!
  • A life saver!

    As a 400lbs man I was doomed and couldn’t get motivated. My older brother showed me how to use Zones to mimic the orange theory process and I have since been hitting my target heart rate everyday for the recommenced time of 12 minutes. Being able to look down at my watch and see I’m in the orange zone keeps me pushing to hit the goal. Then the weekly tracker shows me how much more I need to push each day to be a real champion.

    If you have an Apple Watch you need to get zones. It’s like having a personal trainer monitoring your heart rate the whole time.

  • Finally Someone Gets It.

    Me: Thrice marathon runner and occasional gym rate.

    After several years bouncing around from app to app, I am now all in with Zones. An all on one, thoughtful interface that presents the important data with beautiful design. My routine now involves running, hot yoga and some weights. For over a year now I have tracked my progress all in one place.

    For you outdoor runners, the gps connection is fast and reliable. Has yet to stall, drop the connection or miss a beat.

  • Great tool

    About time. Reports on data I already collect without me needing to collect more. Had the option to only import data without exporting data and causing double ups. Great app well worth it
  • Use for Orangetheory workouts

    I use this for Orangetheory workouts. Best one I have used so far.
  • Zone color bars in watch and phone don’t match

    I downloaded the app today and noticed that the zone color bars/times in the watch don’t match the ones in the phone app when using four zones. Makes me want to wait till this is fixed before paying to get the Pro version since I don’t know if that will have the same problem. Example, the light blue-green bar in the watch represents cardio, but in the phone, it’s orange. The blue-green in the watch is cardio, but cardio is orange in the phone app. The orange bar in the watch is warm up, but blue-green in the phone app is warm up. The only color bar/time that is the same for both is red for peak/time. Yeah, it’s enough to make a head spin. This is an issue that needs to be fixed ASAP! Please fix this.

  • The same haptic for changing a zone up and down?

    I love being able to try an app out before paying what seems like a fair price. That way you get to see if there are any tragic flaws in the design.

    Unfortunately, Zones has the same haptic tap for when you are entering a higher heart zone as when you are entering a lower zone. So, the only way to determine if you should speed up or slow down your workout to stay in your preferred zone is to look at you watch. And when you are on a border of one zone to the next the haptic buzzes can happen five times in a single minute.

    It seems to me that a light double tap when you are going to a lower zone and more forceful single tap when you entering a higher zone would free the runner to concentrate on the road ahead instead of having to decode a generic haptic tap.

    When you come down to it exercising and having to look at your watch twenty times during a workout seems like a very weak Apple Watch user interface.

    I’m going to have to wait for an update before I pluck down my hard earned cash.

    Anybody agree with this?

  • Definitely Rate this App

    Really handy to understand what zone you were training in. Use it every day👍🏼
  • Awesome app for HIIT!

    I wanted an option to not have to wear another monitor at a popular orange HIIT class and was so happy to find this app! It works well in tracking 4 zones and even better I can just glance at my watch vs trying to look up at screens to see my progress. So not only did I save not having to buy an orange tracker but it’s easier to use, integrates so well with my iWatch and tracks any kind of workout. Highly recommended!

  • Poor heart rate tracking

    The app on both Watch and iPhone is wonderfully designed and built. The concept is also wonderful and the customisable charts are superb.

    However, the heart rate tracking, which is the main purpose of the app, is awful.

    I will frequently see my heart rate at 175, and when i stop the workout, it says my heart rate never went above 140.

    Or i will do a burst up a hill and feel my heart pounding fast, only to look down at my watch and have it say 110, probably because it hasn't been measuring properly for the last 5min.

    I don't know if it's Apple's api's at fault, or the developers fault, however as a customer i also shouldn't have to care.

    As a heart rate tracker i currently can't recommend this app.
