Need app that gives me data
I’ve tried >6 apps to provide real-time continuous data for heart rate training. Bought a Scosche Rhythm24 arm sensor bc dealing with my Polar H10 chest strap is a hassle. So far so good, but their app is terrible. Trying this app but disappointed with inability to access bpm data on the app other than avgs and range in Zones. I need chart with bpm numbers, not just HR zone ranges.
Pairing app with Rhythm24 sensor finicky, too, but not as bad as the Scosche app. 🙄
Will try a few more times while doing HIIT on treadmill.

Problems with ICardio
Not able to edit or review any ICardio workout results since the latest update has me very frustrated. Not impressed lately.
Best App Award
This app is by far one of the best apps out there! I’ve been using iCardio for years now and there’s always new development or feature that gets me excited and keeps me engaged.
The GUI is completely configurable where you can modify view and swap features. I also like getting my weekly and monthly performance summaries visually describing gains and room for improvement.
To top all that customer service response time is practically instantaneous and no inquiries go unsettled, kudos!

My go-to app heart rate monitoring
I have cardiac issues, and need to exercise within a fairly specific narrow hr range. Most apps are designed for athletes, and are difficult to customize for anything short of the next ironman competition. iCardio lets me set the range and notifications that I need, and to get going right away without a bunch of extraneous nonsense. Thanks for making a useful tool that I've used every day for several years!

Finally giving up
After many years of (trying) to use this app (love/hate relationship) I am finally throwing in the towel. This app (on a daily basis) has issues communicating with my iwatch. Every morning I wake up to hit the gym (4:00 am) I always have to overcome this problem. Many agree the hardest part of a workout is getting there. For me it is the total frustration with getting this app to connect with my iwatch!! I guess I am the poster child for the definition of insanity. For a long time, going through the same motions every morning expecting (hoping, a better term) for a different result. Count me out for tomorrow morning and any future mornings.

Almost the Perfect Application
As a Cardio application this app is perfect. The ability to modify workout zones and base sessions on zones makes this a great application. The audio cues provide good indication of whether you are above, below or in Zone which is brilliant.
The application has the usual mapping and tracking functions which allows solid reviews of sessions.
The series function in generating routines allows for the easy planning repeat sets within in a program which is a failure of many such applications.
While I am not a fan of subscription models for applications, the cost of the service is reasonable.
It disappoints me that the biggest letdown for such great application is distance. Something is really screwy on the distance calculations for interval training. I set up an session of 4 x 2.5 km intervals which is programed as a single 19km interval for the session. Fix this problem and this will be a 5 start application.

Great Workout App
I have been using this for several years for my rowing and bike workouts. It works as advertised and seems to be very accurate. I recommend iCardio whole heartedly. Haha get it?
Highly functional, beautifully designed.
The team at iCardio has been forging this app steadily over the years. It now performs incredibly well!
Best app for fitness tracking I have found
I like that it syncs with any Bluetooth monitor and uses Heard- rate data to derive caloric burn. Many other low cost apps use time and activity and your weight metrics and I have found these estimates significantly lower. I’d rather they be lower for my weight loss or maintenance goals, so I love it and recommend it to fitness conscious friends.
It also can provide data to Fitbit or apple health, both of which I use. Highly recommend!

Siri integration
I have used this app for several years and I like it. I would like to be able to start the app using Siri on my iPhone. The instructions provided for doing this are three years old and do not work with the current version of the app. Apparently there is also no way to start the app using a shortcut.
