  • Personal Score Board

    This app keeps tabs on my routine and honest in my assessments!!!
    Well Done😃
  • Simple but effective!

    Love it! The Watch app is simple but exactly what I was missing after coming from Fitbit to Apple Watch. The iPhone app delivers fascinating insights into my cardio workouts - a great addition to iOS.
  • Frustrating Glitches

    Great, but very picky about what workout stats will sync. Arbitrary missteps will cause your data to be lost to Zones. An example: I use Polar Beat during my workouts and after I push “stop” in the Polar app I HAVE TO *also* push “done” after the workout summary screen or Zones will not record the workout, even though it is recorded and archived in my Polar app. Even after refreshing the Polar app. Even after refreshing the Zones app. Even after installing the newest versions of both apps. That’s incredibly frustrating after an intense hour long workout.

  • Great for HR Monitoring

    I hate the apple exercise app on the watch because it shows your heart rate but doesn’t tell you what zone you are in but this app’s watch app does and even alerts you when you change zones! I love it! I also love you can also, for the most part, edit the data. When I run on a treadmill it does a pretty good job estimating distance but it’s not accurate so I like for the most part it allows me to edit it. However sometimes it doesn’t. I also would like if I could delete activities. Because I use different apps for recording different activities but also use the zones watch app it duplicates my activity and I can’t delete it. Being able to delete activities would help and would warrant a five star!

  • Great and better than apple health app

    Great but can you please make the vibrations on the Apple Watch a setting so I can turn it off please :)
  • Perfect Tracker

    I had a Fitbit before and I loved that it gave you your heart stats. When I moved to the Iwatch I expected this as a given, but that wasn’t the case, however Zones was the perfect tracker. I’m a bit of a geek and love checking my stats after a hard day of various activities and this does what it says on the tin.

  • Lots of glitches

    I am a user of this app who had upgraded to Pro. I do HIIT training about 4-5 times a week, and often have to restart in the middle of the my workout for freezing up and not registering my heart rate correctly. Then recently, it stopped transferring data from my watch to the phone. After restarting both iWatch and iPhone, I tried to delete the app and re-install. It lost all of my data. I contacted customer service and they referred me to an online faqs page of what’s supposed to happen when one tries to delete the app (2 prompts are supposed to show up, the second allowing you to keep your health data). However the second prompt never showed up for me and the app deleted after the first prompt. I tried deleting again as a sanity check since I absolutely do not remember that second prompt, and again it deleted the app after the first prompt. Now my last 6 months of workout data is gone. I guess not the end of the world in the greater scheme of things, but still frustrating that the glitches in the app keeps it from working as it’s supposed to. Will be utilizing a different app, as this one is obviously not trustworthy.

    2 stars because it’s great when it actually works.

  • Not accurate

    It contradicts itself and doesn't agree with the health app. For example last week I went for a 40 minute run, a 3 mile hike, and a gym session. In the stats screen it records all of these activities, and if I look at the workout specifically I can see that my heart rate was indeed in zone 1 or higher for all of these, yet in the "time spent in zones" chart, it only shows 69 minutes in zone 1 and 0 in all others, even though when I add the workouts up manually, I have well over 150. And last week it showed about 25 minutes in zone 2 as well.

    I've also had it show 200+ minutes for the week on Friday afternoon, then when I go back and look at it the next day it drops to 60-80 something minutes. Basically this app is useless for me since I wanted to use it to track time in HR zones for training. Waste of money.

  • Hands-Down Best App for Data-Driven People

    This app demystifies why you hit a plateau by providing data by individual workout, weekly, rei-weekly, monthly, and annual stats. When you can see how many minutes and calories you burned one month versus another, it makes it clear why you didn’t have the result expected. It also makes it visible how much more you need to do or push yourself to break through that plateau. I set up 5 zones according to the Orange Theory metrics so I could use this app and my Apple Watch instead of their monitors. Love it!

  • Brilliant for Spin with the Apple Watch

    When combined with the Apple Watch it tracks your Zones and text you when you change up or down. I also use a chest heart rate monitor as well and I find the Apple Watch is accurate but slightly behind the chest Monitor.

    Been using this for about a year doing indoor spin classes and love it!
