Excellent App

The best and only app for hockey players. Only down side is sometime I forget to activate, and remember mid game. Wish it had an auto pickup, where it activates when your watch detects speed bursts and pulse increase that matches those of previous game data.
Definitely worth it. Add it today!

Highly detailed and in depth tracking app

As a hockey player, I wanted an app that could track my exercise/ playing when I got my Apple Watch. The regular “Activity” app just doesn’t cut it. After brief looking, I came upon this app. Needless to say it was one of best decisions I’ve ever made! I’ve always been hesitant when purchasing apps or subscriptions but this is worth every penny. This app is highly detailed and goes in depth with your various trainings. It monitors your heart rate, VO2 Max, speed, skating efficiency, and a few more things. I’ve had the app for about 5 months now and use it almost every day. If you ever have any trouble with the app the customer service and feedback is excellent and timely. Just be sure to keep your watch a little tighter for more accurate heart rate readings and turn off power save mode for this app. You won’t regret this outstanding app!

Great info

I really love this app. I get great info from my skates, and the workout stats appear to be a lot more accurate than just recording a “hockey” workout on the default app. The developer was also super helpful with troubleshooting when I had an issue with some of the data not getting to the app.

Not accurate at all

I used this app at the same time as a few other distance tracking apps. During one skate, the other apps all registered within 0.5 of 12kms skated, while hockey tracker registered 3.8km skated during the same skate. This is a huge discrepancy. Many other metrics were pretty far off as well. I will not be using such an inaccurate app again.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review, was this skate outdoors or in? If outdoors, make sure on the watch app you go into settings and turn on the outdoors button. This will enable GPS for more precise distance tracking. If not I would be happy to troubleshoot the issue you are having if you could shoot me an email at hockeytrackerapp@gmail.com. Thanks! Gary

Great app!!

Forgot to cancel my free trial, so I figured what the heck. I wore once and I’m blown away by all the data it logs. Being able to see individual shift data is amazing! Also a nice plus is the shift timer. If you’re trying to keep all your shifts to a specific amount of time, set the timer and your watch will vibrate when time is up. Overall a beyond pleasant surprise. Very cool and useful app!

Great App, but could use some scheduling features

I really enjoy using the app and information it provides, but there’s usually one problem, I forget to start the program before my skates. It would be great if there was some type of scheduling for routine players. For instance, I can set a game to start automatically every Monday @ 7 am or a practice to start at 7pm on Tuesday. This would free me up from remembering to turn it on every time.

Edit - App working & tracking fantastically

I’ve been using the app via Apple Watch for a while and love it!! Little blip (due to other Apple issue I think now) but this tracks everything I need and more.

Back in love with it!!

I don't believe this is related to iOS 14 as we've been running HockeyTracker on the betas for months, I would be happy to troubleshoot what the issue might be. Please email us at hockeytrackerapp@gmail.com

Great idea, inaccurate data

I want to preface this by saying I love the idea of the HockeyTracker app. I love data and I enjoy being able to see how I performed game to game with objective stats to back it up.

That said, I believe the stats (specifically speed, but that influences the others) are very inaccurate and unreliable. I will try to illustrate this with a very simple example.

Player A has played hockey for 20 years and is a former high level junior player. He uses HockeyTracker and it tells him his average max speed is 15 mph and his average burst is 11 mph.

Player B is a new hockey player who just learned to skate 3 years ago. His HockeyTracker app tells him his average max speed is 17 mph and his average burst is 13 mph.

This is obviously a vague example but I’ve seen it in practice time and time again. Just makes you question how accurate any of the data is when the speed is clearly off on a consistent basis.

Other than that, I’ve also noticed the app ends sessions on its own once in a while, though that may be human error (ie. clicking it with my wrist somehow accidentally).

Thank you for taking time to leave a review! Keep in mind that we are tracking your movement based on a device on your wrist, which is possible but is always going to be a little less precise than, for example, tracking you via an indoor system with cameras and multiple sensors like in NHL practice facilities. So there are bound to be anomalies from time to time for sure. Speed determined from a wearable shouldn’t necessarily be taken at face value but instead more so to gauge whether a skate was faster overall, or whether you are getting faster between skates etc. I believe players sometimes focus too much on pure speed instead of more important fitness indictors like Heart Rate rRecovery, VO2 Max, and HT's Effort Level Score. As far as accidentally ending session did you know that you can (1) water lock your watch (Series 3 or newer) so that this doesn't happen and also (2) turn on auto water lock in settings which will automatically lock the watch every time your workout starts. I'd be happy to help you with any issues you are having if you shoot me an email at hockeytrackerapp@gmail.com. Gary

Good app if would record data

The app recorded my very first log which was about two weeks ago. Since that, the other things I used the log (practice and coach 2x. I received a message the information is can’t be synced try later. Never changed a setting since that first log

Best Hockey Workout App

I love this app. As a coach I use it on the ice, and when I play. It is crazy accurate too. I can tell when I’m explaining drills, running them, or playing with the team. And the amount of stats it gives you to analyze after is amazing. I used to hate having to do a herbal open goal workout for a hockey practice, not any more! I get accurate workout data and some extra info I didn’t even know we could track. I have recommend this app to any hockey player I know.
