  • Poor HR reading

    Not sure of its the app or my apple watch, but the heart rate doesn’t always get read properly. When I’m doing high intensity work, it says my HR is in zone 2 when I know it should be in zone 4-5.
  • Not reliable at all!

    I’ve found using this app in my Apple Watch it does not provide as accurate representation of my heart rate at all!! I’m very disappointed with this!
    I do like the rest of the app however but this is a big issue for me
  • Dishonest about family sharing

    The app is ok. I’d give it 3 stars because it freezes and twice randomly shut down in the middle of a run in the first week I used it.

    One star because I’m unhappy that it says it’s shareable (through family sharing) on the app page and I paid for the upgraded version. But any app that forces you to pay for the upgraded version through the app is not truly shareable (it will charge each individual in the family share account for the upgraded version through the app). Apple and the developers should be more forthcoming with this feature (ie all upgraded apps should be able to be purchased directly through the App Store and not in app purchases which won’t allow family sharing features). Really dishonest.

  • Great visuals and tracking

    Love the easy way I can see my heart rate front an centre when exercising.

    The charts and weekly summaries are visually stunning. They keep me motivated and push me to reach my goals.

    The only thing I could want is if there was different haptic feedback for going above or going below my heart rate zone. That way I would know instantly to push harder or back off.

  • Love app. Need feature to turn off Active/Pause.

    I love the app. I use it for Orange Theory because you can customize the workout and heart rate zones. However, it when you are idle it pauses the workout and vibrates. I wish there was a feature to turn this off because it is quite annoying if you stop for a couple seconds and then keep moving it pauses and vibrates, pauses and vibrates. Please update the app so you can turn Active/Pause off!!

    Love app. Need feature to turn off Active/Pause.

  • Elegant and Easy

    Best I’ve tried. Heart rate is best index of training effect. Clear and easy to use with Apple Watch. Elegant displays. Worthwhile even if not a fanatic. Suggestions: make it possible to edit incorrect workouts eg type, show km markers on map and graphs, maybe elevation
  • HIT Heart Stats

    I wanted a simple and straight forward app for tracking the amount of time spent within my peak heart rate zone using my Apple Watch + iPhone. This is it! I can see stats by workout, by day and by week. Also tracks my recovery heart rate. Uses the Apple Health app to read and write data, which means it will sync with your other health kit compatible apps. And ... only one in app purchase to permanently enable all app features. The perfect companion for those of you following a High Intensity Training (HIT) routine. Thank you!

  • Off to a bad start.

    Froze up my watch 3 quarters through my first workout. I looked at my watch to see my heart rate and found it said that I was only at 73bpm when it should’ve been well over 120 could not get it to read my heart rate again until I shut down the watch. The watch took over 10 minutes to restart, then when I restarted the app not only had it lost app previous workout information when I clicked start it’s spent another 10 minutes with the screen that said starting. Once I finally killed the app and started it again it started to read. As you can imagine I was disappointed not to mention this was during fairly intense workout where I have little to no patience for interruptions. I will try it a few more times and I will update this review if things get better.

  • Woah it’s better than I thought

    Woohoo it’s beautiful and that’s a great selling point for this app but what I like about it and what inspired me to write this review is this: this app will track and analyze your heart rate in workouts started with the Workouts app. I just tracked a workout in the Workouts app because that will give me achievements, but when I looked in the Zones app I found that workout there and it was graphed and told me how long I spent in each zone. The Zones app can also track many more types of workouts than the Workouts app (such as fishing, strength training, and even fun), although I’d recommend tracking your workouts with the Workouts app if it’s there so you can get the achievements.

  • Beautiful, simple activity tracking.

    Easily my favourite watch app. Beautiful interface, uncluttered but gives you the info you need when you need it. Would like more info in the app or on the developers website about ways to use zonal training more effectively.
