This app is really good and helps to see your state easily and decide how hard to workout however

The app is straight forward and I am glad to see that I can easily see how much power left to do certain activities. However widgets don’t refresh automatically unless it’s manually clicked and which is very annoying. Hope developer will fix this. Other than that this is a battery app that is really useful to see quickly how much energy you have for activities.

Thanks for the feedback! The widget auto-refresh should be fixed in the latest update - mind letting me know if it's working better now? Feel free to email hello@bodystate.app if you're still having trouble! 🙌

Does not work

The app can not read my health data even after enabling it, tried the problem solving issues suggested and still does not work

Response from developer

Hey! Sorry you're having trouble! I've released some updates that might help - would you try again? If you're still having trouble, I really want to help solve it. You can reach me at hello@bodystate.app.

Love, love this app!

Have been using this app since the past month and I found it to be awesome!
I’m amazed at how accurately this app depicts my “body battery”, it’s insane! Just spent some extra $ to buy all the themes, that’s how much I think this app is worth it! Sending lots of support and love to the developer. 💯😭

Better than Garmin

Great alternative to the buggy, bloated, convoluted Garmin ecosystem and their body battery. Simple app, does what you need it to do, and free. Will be donating soon. Thanks!

Doesn’t work

I have YEARS of both AutoSleep and apple health sleep data. I have tried refreshing data for more than the 7 days and the app still doesn’t have enough data.

Poor syncing

I have had these app two weeks and it refuses to update my sleep data.

Shame

Can’t even get the app to work. It just says that it cannot access the health data. Have tried everything but cannot get it to work. That’s a shame as it looks like a very good app from the pictures. Hope this gets sorted out.

Measures mostly sleep and workouts

I'm new to the body battery concept so as a reviewer I have the advantage of having no set expectations. So far I find the concept interesting, but feel like the algorithm is mostly providing a one time value--the energy at the start of my day, and then gradually decreasing it without taking into account new HRV measurements. So I might feel super zen but it says I have 14% left because I went for a run, or I might feel out of it but I'm at 75% because I slept the normal amount and have not moved much.

I would love an expanded info section like another reviewer commented because it is very possible I am interpreting this wrong, but it really seems like the body state value is based on my sleep metrics and my workout metrics alone, and doesn't take into account other things I might do during the day that the AW can track (be stressed, walk around, meditate, repeat). And if I'm right I'm not sure why the app needs multiple taps to sync (I'm assuming with my phone) every time I want to check the value?

Awesome

I switched from a garmin to an AW a little while back. Body battery was one of my favorite features. I found this app through Reddit and it is very similar. It’s nice to see everything on one page. This could easily be a paid app if the creator wanted to make it one. You do have the option to tip the creator for some “skins” / themes which I took advantage of. I like having the ability to display it as a widget on my AW although my only complaint is that it does not automatically update or even periodically. I have to tap into the widget and wait for it to update. If there’s any way to run it more frequently or every 15 minutes I would love that update. My four star rating is really a 4.5… That update or ability would easily push me to 5 stars!

Doesn’t seem to work on iOS 18

Tried a bunch of things to get this to work but there seems to be a permission issue. The app keeps complaining about the Health permissions not being enabled for the it, despite me having enabled them. Followed the docs linked by the app too but to no avail. Will update the review if I see anything change.
