  • I tried Whoop! I use Athlytic

    I tried Whoop and sent it back… if you’ve already got an Apple Watch (or any other smart watch that is sending data to Apple Health) then you probably don’t need a Whoop.

    This app puts all that data you’re gathering into a sensible and easy to make understand format. At £3 a month for the premium features it’s well worth it, especially compared to a Whoop band and subscription at ~£30 if you don’t buy a years subscription in one go. The trouble with Whoop is that it also needs over 30 days of data to get to know you, but the trial is only 30 days. Athlytic can look through the history of data you’ve already gathered in Apple Health and you’re up and running with good levels of insight from the off.

  • Amazing

    Amazing app, all that was so much needed to make Apple Watch achieve its full potential!
  • Awesome

    This is an awesome app to help you track how your feeling so you are ready to train at your peak. Works well with Applie Iwatch and great alternative to other type of fitness apps. Beat Whoop hands down and they are updating it with new features.
  • Great alternative to Whoop

    Already have an Apple Watch? Add this app for all health tracking and readiness information. On waking use the mindfulness app to force an HRV reading and then the app does it all for you. I overtrained a number of times leading to injury or illness/general exhaustion prior to finding this app. It has been keeping me on track for the last 6 months.
    Really useful data, graphs and charts. Updates feel quite frequent ala iOS or Tesla. Slick interface. Useful Apple Watch complications. Reasonable annual payment as opposed to yet ANOTHER monthly subscription. Can’t fault this. It just works.
    It doesn’t need highly paid sports personalities preaching the benefits.
    Whoop who?

  • The King of all apps

    I’ve been raving about this app since I got it couple of months ago. It tracks literally everything I do and sometimes tells me what to do lol. If you’re gonna have one fitness app this is the one to get
  • Really does well to keep me balanced

    I like this Apple. It certainly fill a void in the Apple ecosystem. It helps to track your recovery and expenditure. Keeps us potential over trainers in line!
  • Only app that calculates calories in vs. out with Apple Watch

    Bought this as it’s compatible with Apple Watch and calculates my calories consumed from my calories burned.

    I used to have a Fitbit that did this all on their own app, but Apple doesn’t focus on fitness or weight management, so I’m glad I’ve now been able to find a replacement.

    Couple of things I wish would be improved since using it for a few months: the load time is really slow. Sometimes my phone screen goes to sleep before the app has updated. I wish it was a lot quicker as it puts me off / forget to check sometimes as I’ve been distracted in the time I’m waiting for it to sync. I also wish I could look back past a week to see my calorie surplus & deficit results and click into further details. Currently you can only see the top line results for the last 7 days.

  • Pretty good

    I find the measurements of stress more accurate than the Garmin however it can be glitchy on the watch and often not open at all.

    I’ve used the sleep tracker once, I didn’t like it as much as the Garmin.

    It regularly updates throughout the day in the widgets which I love
  • UI is a bit busy

    It’s a nice app and seems to have some useful insights but the UI is quite busy. I wish it was a bit more simplified and use friendly like the “Summary/Favourites” tab in Apple health. Also when I come back to the app after not using it for a few hours, I have to scroll and scroll to return to the top of the tab. Some apps allow you to tap on the tab again and it pops you to the top. In general I think the app is nice and useful but I think it just needs some UI improvements to make it more user friendly. Take the summary screen for example; the first thing you see is a long paragraph, then 4 basic looking tiles, then a bunch of little tiles, then a graph and then a huge disclaimer. If all of these were replaced with rectangular tiles that were all the same size and had enough info to get the point across but not so much that it’s not glanceable, then it would be a very good UI. Then you can click on each tile to get more detailed information. I dunno, it just seems like a slightly unsatisfying UI to use and every time I look at it I feel that it’s either too bland or too busy depending on which part I’m looking at.

    I’ve been using it for a while now and all my initial thoughts still stand but I have some additional thoughts. The app ALWAYS tells me to workout. I’ve been hammering my body and I think it would be wise to have a rest day but this app just constantly tells me to workout. It doesn’t seem very smart to me. It actually seems pretty useless. Yes my HRV might be good and I might have slept well but if I have been working out every day for the past 5 days then MAYBE I should have a rest day? The app needs better logic.

  • Data Good, crashing bad

    Just started using this app as I’m considering switching over from whoop. It’s a bit harder to understand, but has a lot of good info. Definitely missing some functionality that whoop had (strength training regimens built in, correlating journal activities / tags with sleep/recovery), but not otherwise really solid.

    One annoying issue is that if I click back to any historical data on the calendar, the app crashes. Makes it pretty difficult to review what I actually did on a prior day.

    That said, the developer (Gary) responded to me within a day or so when I reported the issue. Despite not being as built out as it could be one day, I’m giving this five stars because Gary is a rockstar. Wild that he built this on his own.
