Getting sloppy *2026-09-01, version 26.5.6* Widgets do not agree with app on many measures at different times: sleep percentage, recovery, vitals. So basically I can’t rely on either. Apple Watch. ### 4/5 — Poderia ter em outras línguas *2026-08-31* Poderia ter opção em português ### 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 — 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. ### 2/5 — Not very accurate *2026-08-07, version 26.5.3* This does not align with how I feel at all. For example, I have felt great training all week and the app has told me my recovery has been 30-45%. This morning is the first day all week that I have been 100% recovered (according to the app) and I am incredibly sore and tired from a hard workout yesterday. It’s telling me that my cardiovascular fitness has decreased with it most definitely has not. In fact, it’s better than it has been in a while. I feel great on long runs (5+ miles) I do sleep with my apple watch and have changed the settings to what is recommended but I still find this to be wildly inaccurate. ### 5/5 — AMAZING! *2026-08-07, version 26.5.3* This app tells you everything you need to know about your health in an easy digestible way. Couldn’t recommend more! ### 5/5 — Love the details *2026-08-03, version 26.5.2* I’m currently in training for a tournament. I thought I would try a more analytical approach than in past. I gave this app a shot, and it works amazingly! The pairs perfectly with my Apple Watch. Days I would mentally try to push my body and potentially get injured, when this app says don’t train, I enjoy a rest day. Also, days that I’m tired and I open up the app and it says I should train, it gives me that little bit of motivation I need. ### 5/5 — Все отлично *2026-08-02* Добавьте пожалуйста русский язык ### 5/5 — Made my day! Makes the Apple Watch better than a Garmin *2026-07-31* The Apple Watch gathers lots of data but does nothing much with it. This app solves this problem! The data provided and its analysis helps you make more informed training decisions, particularly around recovery and training load. It helps you see if you are being consistent, the types of workouts you do (intensity). The only thing I’d like is maybe a fitness test reminder- like a step test on a bike or something with some facility to put in your result to see how the training the app has analysed has produced the desired result. Longshot- buy the Hevy app too so my two favourite fitness apps are completely integrated and it can take into account the rpe/reps in reserve I provide in the Hevy app. A sad aside- this app only exists by the good graces of apple overlords- not much to stop them integrating these features in their own software- but I guess the features aren’t mainstream enough to them…. Don’t let Apple buy you haha ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-31, version 26.5.0* Great insights analyzing my overall data. Would highly recommend ### 2/5 — Conflicting figures *2026-07-30, version 26.5.0* The app constantly conflicts itself. Whether it says I’ve recovered fully and then I click for further info and it says recovery is only partial or it says that my battery is 100 but recovery is extremely low. I often find that this app is hard to read and the AI assistant doesn’t really help either.. ### 2/5 — Ok *2026-07-25, version 26.5.0* The stats I’m given are almost always the opposite of what my body is telling me! ### 5/5 — Расширяет функционал от Apple *2026-07-22* Пользуюсь приложением около года, основной функционал с графиками и метриками просто крутейший. Обожаю визуализацию данных и здесь это сделано на высоте. Есть HRV и даже Vo2max от каждой тренировки с рекомендациями для биохакеров. Все интуитивно понятно и без перевода. Ребята, вы сделали мой год лучше с этим приложением!💪 Продолжайте развиваться и добавлять новые возможности. ### 5/5 — Setting the bar *2026-07-21, version 26.5.0* What an excellent example of what a great iOS app can be like. It looks great, has fantastic functionality, is useful, and really puts the Apple Health app to shame. No notes!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-21, version 26.5.0* This is a great app that works and looks great too! ### 5/5 — Superb app *2026-07-18, version 26.5.0* Good app helps with daily training. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 👋 ### 1/5 — Sucks: Everything is behind paywall! *2026-08-02* Nothing to see in the app because virtually everything is behind paywall! **Developer response:** Hi this isn't a true review of the app. We're a small 2 person team and the app's income is our livelihood. Please use a free trial and give the app a proper review. Thanks! Gary ### 1/5 — Mmmmm… NO *2026-06-29, version 26.4.4* Im sorry but why are you letting us use one thing and the rest of them are under ridiculously expensive paywalls i get the cost of living crisis and oh yeah we need sooo much money but jeese no will be deleting no thank you ### 1/5 — Не видит и не восстанавливает подписку *2026-06-24* Полгода пользуюсь приложением и вдруг не видит оплаченную подписку - блокирует платные опции и предлагает подписаться на тариф pro - хотя до окончания подписки еще полгода. Восстановить не получается. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Пробовали ли вы принудительно закрыть приложение и открыть его снова? Если это не помогло, попробуйте перейти на вкладку «Ещё» (More) и нажать «Восстановить покупку» (Restore Purchase), а затем снова принудительно закрыть и открыть приложение. Если проблема сохраняется, пожалуйста, напишите нам на адрес athlytic@gmail.com — мы постараемся помочь. Если вопрос решится, будем признательны, если вы пересмотрите свой отзыв. Спасибо! Гэри ### 1/5 — Pointless *2026-06-13, version 26.4.4* Complete waste of money ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Avoid. *2026-06-08, version 26.4.2* None of my data which I have on my Apple Watch or iPhone syncs with the iPad version of the app. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Download BEVEL App instead, this app is now paywalled as of June 4, 2026 *2026-06-07, version 26.4.4* They updated this app and now you have to pay to get access to almost everything. A friend told me about Bevel which is WAAAYYY better and gives you so much more accurate/complete infos in the free version. ### 1/5 — No Russian language *2026-06-04* Смысл бесплатного приложения если все данные только по подписке? Даже карту пробежки, которую ты бегал, включили в платную подписку. Ещё скройте за подпиской частоту пульса во время бега, а то мало ли. ### 1/5 — Buggy and Inaccurate *2026-05-14, version 26.4.1* It has been over counting Workout minutes in HR Zones for 6 months. Devs has nothing but apathy for users even when reporting bugs over email and social. This fundamental issue breaks the whole experience. Overcounted workout minutes reflects in Athlytic Age, Training Load etc. Less said about Apple Intelligence powered AI features the better. Devs are more interested in virtue signalling on privacy rather than shipping a functional product. Misleading consumers with “AI coach” branding. Never regretted a sub this much. ### 1/5 — Update *2026-05-10, version 26.4.0* App isn't responsive after update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please finally add Russian! *2026-09-04* I really like Athlytic and use it regularly to track my recovery, training load, sleep, and overall progress. It’s a great app, but there is one major thing missing: full Russian language support. Please add a complete Russian localization of the app, including all menus, metrics, explanations, insights, notifications, and recommendations. There are many Russian-speaking Apple Watch users who would appreciate being able to use Athlytic entirely in their native language. It would make the app much easier and more enjoyable to use. Please finally add Russian! I’m sure I’m not the only user waiting for it. ### 5/5 — The assist I needed *2026-09-02* This app has helped me recover and build strength without overdoing it. Previously I often burnt out, Athlytic helps me figure out what I can do, when I can push and has helped me regulate better without needing as much down time. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed! *2026-08-30, version 26.5.5* Dives much deeper into apple health values and very insightful for workouts! ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-08-30, version 26.5.6* This is one of my favorite apps to see everything my watch tracks. ### 5/5 — Excellent Partner *2026-08-22* Someone who’s trying to get fit or needs better insight of their fitness journey, this app is a great choice. I don’t know why it doesn’t automatically show up in fitness apps when searched but a recommendation from ChatGPT really worked. Worth the subscription!!! ### 5/5 — Title: From 3 Stars Back to 5 ⭐️ *2026-08-20, version 26.5.5* I originally gave Athlytic 3 stars because the sliders with weekly goals under the Athlytic Age tile were removed. 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. ### 5/5 — Best health app *2026-08-15* 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* 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! 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️ ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-11* Wonderful insights and great way to keep track of your health --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
