Sleep doctor approved
This app has a lot of integrity and perhaps the best biometrics for HRV. Coming from a sleep doctor - I recommend this to my clients. It helps them follow their sleep without stressing them out with misleading data.
Good not Great
The bio strap app did what it claimed to do in tracking sleep and HR parameters though it could sometimes be balky to sync up. Battery was okay but not as good as some of the newer devices. It seemed to go for about 36 hours on a charge. The device fits okay though not completely unobtrusive during sleep. Activity tracking is minimal without the shoe pod, and the shoe pod is a pain to place and keep in place. I ended up losing mine on a run, and it didn’t fit certain shoes like cycling shoes with straps instead of laces. Whether it is more or less accurate than other apps is likely depending on who’s marketing claims you go with. Finally, at its current price, I think it lacks value - too expensive for such a device.

Don’t buy this crap decice
Without a doubt the worst wearable I’ve ever had. To add insult to injury it will set you back over $300/ >£250. Tried to return it but Biostrap make returns as laboursome as possible meaning you are stuck with it. All the components feel like cheap and nasty low grade Chinese tech.
It also doesn’t do it’s basic functions. I’ve never had one night where it’s properly recorded my sleep. And most nights it just doesn’t detect sleep at all. So I miss out on HRV and RHR data. Messaged support who basically told me I’d need to manually enter sleep data every day! Completely useless.

Expensive, buggy software, very poor support
Total waste of money - try looking at alternatives
Super cool app with great stats
Biostrap is a very cool app when it comes to keep account of your daily steps, calories, sleep, nutrition, workout, meditation and much more.
It gives you clear idea about how much you have achieved and what is required to get to your fitness goals. I strongly recommend this app with a Biostrap set of wristband and activity pod.
Keep up the good work guys!

Biostrap- game changer
It tracks reps on weight machine. Does blood oxygen, resting heart rate. It does sleep. Super athletes are around the corner. This horse will do! Biostrap will get it done!
Doesn’t work
Worked for a month or so, now it no longer captures any data. I have no idea why... but it’s just a useless piece of plastic now.
Love Biostrap! 2 years going strong!
My 2 yr old Biostrap 1.0 is fantastic! I chose Biostrap for it’s accuracy, red lights instead of green, and low emf and options to turn off bluetooth while on my wrist or reduce bluetooth readings during the day.
Limited usefulness
After 1 year the battery doesnt last for 8 hours. Company refuses to help and suggests I buy a new one. Would never buy a biostrap product again.
How it works: This is only useful for night time tracking of oxygen levels, heart rate and respiration rate. It is useless for sports tracking despite the website claims.. a $50 heart watch does 10x more for activity tracking. Apparently a small company with a good idea executed very poorly, and with disregard to customers. Would not trust their claims of an improved version and in any case they do not stand behind their product. Go with one of the more reliable products on the market.

Great app and great team!
They have a great app that has helped me get back into shape and to understand my sleep patterns better!
Very unimpressive.
App is buggy and difficult to navigate, and the data recording is *highly* suspect. For instance, why should it take me fifteen minutes to figure out how to change the orientation from right wrist to left wrist? And why is the FAQ blank — are there truly no frequently asked questions? And why is the HRV chart blank? And why would my 30-mile bike ride log only 11 miles, and an activity score of 81 for the day, but when I drive the family four hours in the car on the way to vacation (and nothing else that day), the activity score is 98?
Anyway, this feels like it ought to have potential but simply fails to deliver. I’ve heard great things about Whoop from literally everyone — considering making the switch.

Few flaws but, didn’t return it yet!
The app hangs every time have to delete it and reinstall if you
Fall asleep
While
Meditating!
Also the band gets pretty tight if you want to get a “good” reading
I actually think a dedicated o2 sat sensor,
which is why I bought this
A dedicated sensor would prob be more useful. Practical etc
I would keep biostrap if the app did not fail every single time

Unreliable
After a firmware update, the HRV measurements became unreliable. Some nights not enough measurements captured to enable the app to analyze data.
Heart rate measurements also went with long pauses between measurements.
Requested support from company to review changes after firmware update. They looked at all my measurements and said it was good. Support ignored my specific problem of time AFTER the update.
Cannot depend on device to give good measurements and cannot get decent support. Device is being returned because no data is better than making any type of decision based on bad data.

Like it a lot
I’ve had my Biostrap for about 3 weeks. I like it a lot. The sleep tracking seems very accurate. I like that it tracks hrv, spo2, and gives you an idea of when to take it easy. Customer service has been superb, helping me out with a couple issues (one of them my fault). Not the greatest for tracking workouts, but haven’t tried “training” any movements. Also, it’s sometimes difficult to get the charger to charge the band and I have to move it around to finally take. But pretty small complaints.

Earns all five stars
Biostrap is a great product. The band is really comfortable and I like the unobtrusive design. Bluetooth connection to the app was effortless and is automatic after the initial setup. The app has an appealing interface and the amount of information is incredible. The Biostrap activity, recovery and sleep scores are helping me focus on all aspects of fitness and well-being. As advertised, activity tracking is first rate and the ability to compare exercise sessions is a nice feature. Five stars for me with the only suggestions being a larger arm band for the HRM and the ability to sync a Bluetooth scale to the app.

Great Product and Excellent App
After a lot of research, I decided on the Biostrap. Sleep and HRV monitoring were my minimum criteria. It delivers both in an easy to follow format. There’s much more on the app and they are always adding new stuff and tweaking the app to make the product even better.
Great app with great support!
The app itself works extremely well. Once you start tracking your health you’ll be able to achieve your best version of yourself. Support from the Biostrap team is second to none. I was an early adopter and have been through it all with them and have never been disappointed. And with the knowledge from the app I’ve been able to lose 45lbs and keep it off for over a year!

Biostrap is a great health monitoring tool
There are several reasons that My wife and I like using BioStrap. My wife likes using it for both tracking her exercise and monitoring her sleep cycles. For exercise I prefer my iWatch but for sleep monitoring I like Biostrap the best. I am a 72 year old male and I have been struggling with memory issues partially because of age, partially because of bad diet choices and partially because of not enough deep sleep. Biostrap has a number of excellent monitoring tools that provide you with significant feedback regarding the amount of deep sleep vs light sleep vs awake time per day, week or month. Also resting heart rate and heart rate variable as well oxygen saturation and many other measurements. The hardware and software have helped me to drastically improve the amount of Deep sleep that I get each night which in turn is helping to improve my memory, thinking and clarity. I have it a rating of 4 instead of 5 because they are not very clear on how they determine the sleep score and recovery score so it’s difficult to understand how I could best improve those scores.

Not Useful for HR Zone training
The innovation behind the device is an outstanding idea however there are a few things missing
1. If you are a person that does HR zone training this device is not for you. It does not measure active heart rate and therefore you can never know when zone (fat burning, cardio, etc)
2. You can not see any of your activity measurements on the device itself. You have to open the app and see how you did.
This has become a device that I leave by the bed to use for sleep monitoring however, since I am not using it to track any activity using it as a way to track my recovery rate is not being accomplished either.
