App crashes, no updates in 2 years

App has not been maintained and cannot be opened in iOS 12.

App Does Not Work Well

Early on, this app worked alright and I could get some readings. I have all of my software and the app both completely updated and the app will not work at all- completely ruins whatever practical applicability the software had in the 1st place.

Avoid this product and save yourself the time. I will be returning ASAP.

Very disappointed

It does not work. I have the finger sensor which does not give a reading even with plug or the adaptor. It takes about 2 mins to detect, then gives an error count in less than 30 secs. Took the sensor off and app started detecting my pulse, and then attempting hrv but again gives an error count in under 30 secs. Wonder if I have been duped.

Not good.

Bought it online for $289.00 (way overpriced) the heartrate strap is cheap, the book is a generic description of periodisation which no insight into hrv, recovery methods etc... There are tons of free apps that do a much better job. As far as reading go, my hrv on bioforce contradicted when tested against 3-4 other hrv apps, this one scores at the lowest. Sorry, but it needs an overhaul.

Great App for Athletes

HRV training is the real deal. I love this app for monitoring my training!

For those of you giving a bad rating. It does clearly state in the app information that it's not a stand alone app and does require a license. This is why you can't get past the login. There is a book, video, HR monitor, and program you have to purchase prior to use.

Busted

Can't get past login screen, even without an account. Worthless.

Broken

No way to get past login screen at start. Totally useless.

How can it be this bad?

Upon opening the app, you're forced to a login page, which you cannot get past without entering the correct log-in credentials. I haven't yet signed-up. There is no option to sign-up. I'm sure you can see the ridiculous bug that renders this app worthless.

Won't launch

POS won't launch

Bad update

This update was supposed to fix ios9 issues, but instead completely broke the app for me.

Simply doesn't work

After installing, app works once and then crashes immediately upon each ensuing launch. Completely useless.

Not even a demo?

$200 upfront to access the app with no idea on how well it works.

Immediate dead end

From guessing to reinstalling, cannot get passed the first screen asking for user name and password. Major design error.

Don't waste your time

Couldn't create log in. Don't waste your time downloading it.

Couldn't even login!

Couldn't get past the first screen asking for user/password. No option to set up a new account. Something kept flicking up & immediately disappearing at the top of the screen.

Login

Fix login

Useless App

Wasted my money on this as the app is useless. Detection of heart rate is very intermittent at best, and when it does pick up a signal, heart rate fluctuates between 110bpm to 33bpm in seconds. All whilst I'm laying on the floor. It also doesn't hold signal long enough to actually take and record an HRV score. I have tried wetting the sensor, and this is a polar chest strap that is used day in day out with my watch, and is still working that way (so it isn't battery). Will be requesting my refund very shortly.

Confidence

Helps me have more confidence in my training plan and that my rest is setting me up for further gains down the road or peaking for competition.

App Still Works

You can still get the app to work just turn off your wi fi in your settings before you start the app and it will still check your hrv and give you a score. A little bit of a pain but worth it. Then make sure you don't update the app again! The ithlete app still works great!
Was gutless of bioforce to do this though.

No longer works after update without upgrade to 200$ web account.

Talk about pulling a fast one. I've been using this for a long time, after an unwitting upgrade today I am locked out without a 200$ upgrade to tie in to their web service and to pay for all new hardware. I'll amend this review when they decide to let people who paid for the app in the past actually use it. This is highway robbery.
