I used those sliders to see whether I was behind, on track, or ahead of my goals for the week, so losing that feature really affected how I used the app. I reached out to the Athlytic team, and they actually listened. They responded to me last week and put the sliders back yesterday. That kind of responsiveness deserves recognition. Athlytic has genuinely helped me lose weight, improve my fitness, and become a stronger cyclist. Being able to track my recovery and see my progress has become an important part of my daily routine. So I’m changing my review from 3 stars back to 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you to the Athlytic team for listening to your users and bringing back a feature that matters. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Alternative to wristbands *2026-08-20, version 26.5.5* Love the multiple metrics and the data that I have access to. I debated about buying a wristband tracker and having an Apple Watch at the same time. This offers the best compromise one device. In terms of accuracy, I feel that it’s good enough for me. The yearly subscription is reasonably priced. ### 1/5 — Leaving *2026-08-15, version 26.5.4* It used to be a great app and saved me from buying WHOOP but since upgraded to iPhone 17 pro and updated Athlytic to the latest version it crumbled; no updated data about recovery, sleep, exertion etc. Not reading workouts or showing trends so it lost its glory. Not for me anymore 👋 ### 5/5 — Best health app *2026-08-15, version 26.5.4* I’ve used Athlytic since I got my Apple Watch several years ago. Gives very accurate data and suggestions based on that data. ### 5/5 — A godsend during my recovery from pneumonia *2026-08-15, version 26.5.4* I discovered a completely different use for Athlytic: recovering from pneumonia! ChatGPT suggested Athlytic to me when I was trying to figure out how to safely manage my activity while recovering. What I expected to be a fitness app became an incredibly helpful tool throughout my seven-week recovery. The Exertion score was particularly valuable. I could literally watch it climb while I was doing what seemed like very little—walking the dog, doing a few things around the house, or other normal daily activities. It helped me understand that even though something felt minimal, my recovering body was still working hard. That made it much easier for me to recognize when I had done enough and needed to rest. I also loved watching my Recovery and Battery scores and trends. Over time, they gave me another way to see that I really was improving, even when the progress felt frustratingly slow. Seven weeks later, I finally woke up feeling like myself again—and Athlytic showed a 100% Recovery score and 100 Battery. It was wonderful to have the way I felt and the data finally saying the same thing! Athlytic has been a godsend during my recovery. I came to it because of ChatGPT, and I’ve learned how useful it can be not only for deciding when to push—but, just as importantly, when not to. And now that I’m finally feeling like myself again, I’m looking forward to using Athlytic for its more traditional purpose—getting back to cycling and running! 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️ ### 3/5 — Why the change in Athlytic age *2026-08-13, version 26.5.3* I have been a long time paid member. The app used to be 5 stars until you made the change to the Athlytic age and took away the slider bars for the bottom half. That really helped with my goals because of that I’m giving this app 3 stars. Please fix that. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-11* Wonderful insights and great way to keep track of your health ### 5/5 — It works! *2026-08-09, version 26.5.2* I have used Athlytic with my Apple Watch & Apple Health and MyFitnessPal to lose 70+ lbs & cut my body fat in half or more. The Athlytic app is easy to use and easier to understand while being well-supported & designed. Lots of data for those of us who want to really dig into details, but also useful for those who just want results. If you are willing to do the work, Athlytic will help guide you to success. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Life Changing *2026-08-08, version 26.5.3* I am a regular guy in my early 50’s trying to stay in decent shape. I bought this app to get useful insights from all the data my Apple Watch collects. It revealed to me what was destroying my sleep and it’s helped me to work out more effectively. It’s the first thing I look at each morning and it’s enabled me to get better rest and recovery than I’ve had in years. ### 3/5 — Inconsistent *2026-08-07, version 26.5.3* Rest metric never works, have had multiple nights with no metrics. Not worth the money. ## Frequently asked questions about Athlytic ### What does Athlytic do?

Added a setting to choose whether the Workouts tab opens to Progress or History by default. Added new manual Journal Tags for Commuting, Beta Blocker, and GLP-1 Medicine. Added a new Share Card that features Calories Burned. Improvements: Added Google Health as a Preferred Sleep Tracker in settings. Athlytic Age: every marker now shows where you sit on its scale, and your biggest lever is highlighted in the list.

Gary ### 26.5.3 — 2026-08-06 Improvements: Redesigned Share Cards Swipe through cards built for the workout you did - route map, summary, Effort, pace with your splits, heart rate, or something minimal.

It's actually an Apple bug but came up with a work around and filed a Feedback for Apple to hopefully fix before iOS 27 is officially released. (Note this is just a temporary fix until Apple fixes it on their end, because of this steps data might not look exactly as it does in Apple Health until they fix it). - Stress watch complication: Fixed the watch complication going stale or disappearing from the watch face. It now always displays, even before your first reading of the day. - Steps widget: Fixed the watch Steps widget not updating on iOS 27 beta. - Body Composition chart: Lean mass and body fat now get their own auto-scaled charts, so your changes are actually visible instead of flattened on a 0-100 scale. - Battery: Optimized background work scheduling to reduce battery use.
