Doesn’t Load
I used the app for approx 3 months. For the first 2 months the app loaded relatively quick and provided some interesting data. However, I’m not sure how helpful that data were in influencing my training regimen. At the end of the day though, it didn’t matter as the app began loading slower and slower. It is now to the point where it stopped working completely. I contacted the developer and while he responded promptly, he could not offer an explanation or provide assistance. Canceled my subscription today.
UPDATE: Developer states I told him that I was using an iPhone 8. Not True. I told him I am using an iPhone XR. The Developer is not legitimate. There is a glitch in his software. The app has not loaded for over two weeks…Show lessBogart6
Great app, very useful information!
I’ve been using this app for about a week after doing a lot of research into apps that may provide me the information I’m looking for when combined with my Apple Watch and various activity apps I currently use. After reading about Athlytic I downloaded the free trial and signed up after a couple days after using it, seeing that I was getting what I was looking for. It provides all the useful info I need as a cyclist in a clear and concise way, without having to wear another device on my arm, or paying for any long term commitments. As a bonus I had a technical question that I emailed to them and got a reply back within 10 minutes and they walked me through the problem (simple error on my part). Customer service like that is invaluable!Show lessScott9191
Filling in a huge fitness metrics gap
Between whoop bands, oura rings and Garmin body battery, the Apple Watch was really falling behind in the training status metrics department. This app nails it and does a great job at bringing that functionality to the Apple Watch. now I have the usability of the Apple watch for daily use and the metrics of a dedicated device like the whoop. The Apple watch has a superior heart sensor than both The whoop and my Garmin fénix 6 which also makes this app MUCH better suited to tell you whats going on. Can’t have good metrics with bad data from bad sensors.Show lessNics Tunes
Interesting but not quite worth it for me
This app has some interesting stats. The recovery is similar to Body Battery on Garmins. The energy tab is really only useful though if you’re also tracking food to see if you’re in a calorie deficit. And description is misleading - this app doesn’t track sleep, it will only pull in sleep data from another app connect to Health. Since I don’t use another sleep app or track food, just having energy and recovery stats didn’t seem worth the subscription for me. (Would also recommend that the subscription pricing be included in the description.) If this app evolves to track all of the data natively vs aggregating half of it from other apps, then I would definitely reconsider!Show lessHamburger Monkeypants
Wow
I always thought it was silly that I would have to buy and wear a Whoop band on my other wrist if I wanted Recovery metrics based on sensors that already exist in my Apple Watch.
This app totally delivers. At first I was worried that the Apple Health Data would be slow to populate the experience, which has happened with other apps built on Apple health data, but this one is absolutely snappy.
And simple. I’m a tracker, I track pretty much everything, I even went so far as to track my own net calories in a spreadsheet last year because I couldn’t get exactly the app to solve my problem. I considered writing my own to get what this app delivers (perfectly, beautifully) on the Energy tab- it even has a complication that shows me my current net calorie number. It’s hard to overstate just how huge that is for somebody like me, who has to push healthy calories to be able to achieve a surplus over the course of an active day.
TAKE MY MONEY (and give me a daily protein grams intake complication pls thanks love you)Show lessHarrietWinn
Remarkable
Incredible app. All the data you need to listen to your body properly. I have a tendency to “push through” and this is counterproductive to my fitness goals. Athlytic keeps me up. NOTE: recovery rates vary because Apple Watch only allows 4 communications a day for hrv for battery life. I find that even the delayed adjustments(2-3 times per day with time stamps) really matches with my overall state. Also hrv requires a baseline to be builtShow lessBig Drew83
So good!
Highly recommended for people who are working out daily or endurance athletes. Even if you don't work out daily, this is a great why you monitor how you recover and get an idea of what impacts recovery and causes you to feel sluggish. If you're coming from a band like Whoop, the biggest thing this offers is tracking of carbs and calories versus your caloric burn and helps you understand how calories in can help fuel recovery. I'm using LoseIT to track my meals, it syncs my micronutrients to HealthKit and Athlytic reads the data from there. My only suggestions for the app - Can we get a watch face widget or I think Apple calls them Complications, to display recovery percentage in the watch face? Also, can we get a journal feature like Whoop has? Something where I can check whether I've had alcohol, caffeine, melatonin, done yoga, etc and have a graph of what positively and negatively impacts recovery?Show less1738!
Developer Response
Thanks so much for your review! There is already a complication for Recovery and Exertion. Some type of tagging system is definitely on the roadmap. Thanks again!Impressed with the support/communication
I had an issue with the initial setup of the app (the app hung) and I DM’d them via Instagram late at night. While I got out of the bind myself (simply restarted the app), they did respond the very next morning. And we exchanged a couple of more messages all within minutes. I really appreciate how responsive they are. The app itself its also very impressive. My personal data/history formatted into very attractive graphics which is insightful and easy to understand. To me, the $20/y subscription fee is reasonable. I look forward to continued improvements and new features of my workout and sleep data.Show lesschet814
This app is fantastic!
This app is exactly what I was looking for. It does everything I was looking for and I don’t have to wear just one more thing in my wrist to get it done. It’s completely changed my training and planning for recovery. It gets updated regularly which makes it even better with every update. Had a question and got a response very quickly. Love everything about it. Can’t wait to see where this app goes from here.Show lessIsabelle the great
Great App!
I’m seriously considering getting rid of my subscription tracker and using this! My only suggestion so far would be the ability to edit sleep times. Sometimes I wake up and look at my recovery and then decide to work out later in the day as opposed to my normal early AM. The app read my awake time as 4 am even though I went back to bed for another 2.5 hours, so my recovery appears to be lower than my other tracker due to that. I did edit it in Apple Health but the app doesn’t appear to pick up on that. Otherwise they are almost identical in comparison and I’d much rather wear less hardware! I really love this app and even the inability to edit my sleep time wouldn’t deter me from using it.Show lessDoodlebomb40
