Great app but needs a slight tweak or two
The app is great and instantly downloads your data so you can see your workout details as soon as you are done. I would make a minor change which is when you come to save your workouts the options to “save” or “delete” are on top of each other and I have a couple of time inadvertently hit “delete” and lost the whole workout. I would suggest moving the buttons further apart to avoid this error a bit more. The help section could be slightly better as well as I had a couple of issues pairing. The final thing is letting you know when the heart monitor is low on battery could be improved such as an alert showing in the app if possible. Otherwise great app and I’m very happy with polar equipment in general.

Unhappy
I am so unhappy with this H9. It doesn’t connect easily, and when it does it loses the connection. The instructions are terrible. There is no clarity about which of the polar apps you should use.
Functional, but bad design
A bunch of stuff you dont need. Like.. blog.
Good, but needs an upgrade
Overall it’s a good app, but Polar needs to update the app. First and foremost thing is to add ability to delete spots from the main training screen. You can only add sports, but you can’t remove them. So if you accidentally add 20 activities, you’ll have to scroll through 20 to get to the one you really want to do. Super inconvenient.
Second - it would be great to add past training sessions. At this time you have to use a different app for that.

Couldn’t be worse if you tried. Update, the problem was with Flow. It doesn’t work with H7.
A heart rate monitor app that doesn’t display the history of your heart rate after an activity. You’d have to work very hard to make it worse than it already is. Update: got it working on its own. Now would like to have it remember my last activity. I have to select it every time I start the app. Changed my review to four stars.

It’s mighty meh.
It’s good when it works. The hr pairing and Bluetooth is wildly inconsistent. My phone will show that it’s paired with the hr monitor but the app won’t register that it’s connected. Usually requires a bunch of resets and disconnecting and reconnecting to work properly. Wearing a weight vest, running vest or hydration pack interferes with the hr monitor. God help you when you need to update the hr monitor software, but if you don’t do the update then it won’t work at all. It’s only a matter of time before they start requiring a subscription for the monitor to work properly IMO.

Near Perfect
Update 2024
Still a solid app. Those saying it won’t connect to one device but does with others haven’t gone in to the settings to allow it to sync with multiple devices… that’s literally all you have to do.
I’ve used this app for years and it used to be really good. Both Beat and flow had a workload measure where it could tell you if your workout was reasonable, demanding, very demanding et cetera. Now you only see that on the beat app and only if you delete and then reinstall the app. For instance if I want to see what my workload strain of this last week of training I’d once again have to delete the app reinstate it and then for some reason it would show me. Also, the beat app only goes back like a month of data for some reason where before it’d go back to very first workout so I can compare HR and workload across my weeks/months. Any time I contact customer support all I get is an absolutely useless “this is a bug and we are trying to look into it but can’t promise that it will get fixed in the future” as though it’s just some kid with a bog standard template response for every single issue for the app. Absolute joke for a supposed high end, serious fitness brand.

Disapointing -Unreliable
Cheep app, "unreliable" and very few features, for the price of the heart rate sensor this is extremely disapointing.
Just buy apple watch se honestly.
Or even the garmin sensor for half the price.

Gone but not forgotten
I have not used this app since 2017 have not used my polar M 600 either and I have missed it recently got back into cycling and I am very glad to say that both watch and heart rate monitor the H10 are working just as good as they were in 2017. I must say that I loved the watch but now I am comparing it to my Apple ultra 2. I will stick with the Ultra 2 and I will use the H 10 heart rate monitor. They all work in conjunction with Health app, but gives me a far more detailed map and the benefits of what I am actually doing in my training. Thank you, Polar for being there. 👍👍👍👍👍
