Best app for POTS
Thank you devs. This app has carried me through my physical therapy during this time after diagnosis. Thank you for being a one time payment too
Real Heart Rate Alert
Works 24 hours and 7 days a week………very powerful app !!!!
Response from developer
Thanks for the nice review! Glad you like it!
Definitely a great app for tracking your heart rate
I am really liking this app/ most definitely useful for being able to set a heart rate and get an alert for when you cross that line.
Very useful for me/cfs when going over that line chews up energy you don’t know you’re burning through.
Stay under your set heart rate as much as possible to gain some recovery from cfs and pem symptoms.

Effective and simple
I’m using this all day to help me keep my heart rate down while I have pericarditis. Works a treat. Simple and effective. I had a technical issue and the developer had it fixed before he got my email but still replied very quickly. Paying after testing shows confidence and gives confidence. (I have paid for something I didn’t use. This I do)

I paid for the app, now it wants a subscription?
I paid for this app, think it was eight dollars, and now there’s a subscription? How is this legal?
Doesn’t work in background
If any other running app takes over the watch screen Beat Watcher does not alert you when your heart rate climbs too high. Wish I could force it to always be active or always on top but background mode does not work.
Thank you!
Thank you soooooo much for the crown lock in the new update. I can’t tell you how frustrated I get when my threshold lowers and my watch starts freaking out 😂😂 love this app, bought 4 Apple Watches just for this app. I have them setup just like my Fitbit… which I also still wear, as well 😂 can’t be too accurate with that heart rate!

Live Heart Rate!
I had been using Cardiogram for years and when they closed December 2025, the app quit. I spent 6 days looking for an app to show live heart rate on Apple watch for POTS and came across this app. Well worth the $6! Hint: turn on background mode for best data. Eats battery up, but does what I wanted! Thanks!

So happy you found the app and find it useful! Thanks for the nice review.
Buyer beware!!!! Does not track low hr
I have a low heartbeat that I’m monitoring when it gets below 30 bpm. I thought by its description this product would make up for apples inability to go below 40 bpm. I was misled and I can’t get a refund
Response from developer
Hi, you can request a refund through Apple if you are not happy with the app.

Atendeu exatamente o que eu precisava.
Exactly what I was looking for
Searching and searching. Finally found it. Hoping it's not a drain on my battery but still when you have tachycardia issues I'll deal with the battery I guess, unless it makes it unusable. More customization would be welcomed. I also appreciate it not having a silly subscription which would make it a non starter. I also wish there were a logging and export feature to show my doctor. Anyway, thanks Dev..

only one of its kind!
hey! i love the app so much its the only one thats been able to provide me with consistent background activity which has been so helpful!
however im wondering if you could please add adjustments to time intervals and different thresholds for activity vs. resting? it would be so much more helpful if i could just get it to vibrate at 30 second intervals rather than 2, and for it to recognize when im sleeping so i dont wake up too often/shaken up. thank you so much!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been wanting an app like this for so long! Probably for a different reason that most but I can’t believe I found it! I have tattoos which prevent wrist detection from working. The HR monitor and all health features do work. The issue is it doesn’t know when it’s on my wrist. With this app I’m now able to have 24/7 hr monitoring with wrist detection off!!! This is the best app to ever exist! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Please never stop support for this.

Amazing Heart Rate App
I couldn't believe I found an app that lets me increase the frequency of heart rate readings on my Apple Watch, essentially turning it into a sports watch.
The instructions are well thought out, clear, and helpful.
My only wish would be to have discovered this app sooner.

Thank you so much for the nice review! I really appreciate your kind words about this app I built!
Love the real time complications!
Make sure to click allow when it asks you if the Beat Watcher app can update your Health data. Then the complication on your watch will update in real time. It’s amazing.
I can get an alert look at my wrist & see my heartbeat in real time. Logs your heart rate all day
This measures my heart rate consistently and in the background. No fuss, no upsell, just pure function. The developer is incredibly responsive with updates and communications. This app is a must have if you own an apple watch.
When I look at my apple health data graphed over time, I get actual points of data taken, back to back, all day.

Beat watcher
Wonderful and helpful app!
Lifesaver app
I've had tachycardia for decades, and this is the first app that gives me an audible/haptic notification when my heart rate is too high ... instrumental when I'm sleeping or not looking directly at my Apple Watch all the time. I changed my Apple Watch face to "Modular Compact" to use the Beat Watcher (Heart Rate) complication across the entire bottom of the watch, which is very useful when I'm sleeping or I don't have my glasses on.
It's the best money I've ever spent on an app ... for me, it's been a lifesaver. Thanks for making this app and making it so affordable - I regularly promote this app to other veterans with similar heart conditions.
(UPDATE) A few days ago, while I was at the VA Clinic, Beat Watcher alerted me to an elevated heart rate of 127 ... so I pulled out my KardiaMobile 6L EKG device, and I was able to record a tachycardia event. Generally, when the VA takes an EKG, it's normal by the time they settle me into an exam room; however, Beat Watcher allowed me to record a tachycardia event to show my doctor ... without Beat Watcher, I might not have gotten an early warning to the heart arrhythmia and tachycardia episode.
(Suggestion) I want to change the alert tone on Beat Watcher because it currently sounds like every other alert on my Apple watch. Additionally, I had to disable the iOS11 Smart Stack on my Apple watch to keep using Beat Watcher as expected, not a big deal since Beat Watcher is significantly more important to me than Smart Stack.

Thank you so much for the nice review! I really appreciate the kind words about the app and I’m so happy it’s valuable to you. Regarding your suggestion to change the sound, that sound is built into the system alongside the haptic feedback that happens. Changing it would require creating a custom, separate type of haptic feedback and a custom sound. At this point, I think it makes more sense to stick with the system standard as they are well-designed and understood by users. And, regarding the Smart Stack, I understand the issue you're talking about, and unfortunately it's a limitation of the system behavior that it always shows up in the Smart Stack while running in the background. There is not a way for me to disable that as the developer of the app.

Great tool for ME/CFS & Long COVID
Setup is simple, and the app performs flawlessly. For most ME/CFS/LC patients, monitoring HR is critical for pacing and avoiding PEM.
Just a wish list request if possible: Ability to view and export HR logs/data.

Response from developer
Hello! You can view the historical data via the Health app. There are likely other apps you could use to export it from there depending on your needs.
