ME/CFS Pacing

I have had MECFS for 33 years but I am still learning how best to pace. This app is helping me stay on track and manage my symptoms. Thank you for this huge yet simple help!

Response from developer

Thanks for the nice review! I’m so happy it’s valuable to you.

Fave HR app

If you are after a live heart rate that can give you alerts when you hit a certain high heart rate and low heart rate then this is perfect. Can be used on clock face. Exactly what I needed.

Love how simple it is to set alerts to my family and myself!!!!

Great app

Thanks for the nice review! I'm happy you find it to be a high quality, valuable app.

Was great, suddenly not working

This was a simple, useful way to monitor health conditions. Was very reliable, and the watch complication was the most useful.
Now it’s stopped working, with no warning.
Now looking for an alternative.

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.

Thanks so much for the kind review! So glad to hear the app is valuable to you for pacing.

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

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!
