Poor connection

Every time I try and start a workout it says connection error and retry

Worth it so far...

I have an Apple Watch Series 1 that I use for heart rate monitoring in Zwift. My watch is stuck at WatchOS 6.3 and Zwift stopped supporting it in late 2022. I switched to the free HeartCast app and that worked OK but was glitchy and had many brief dropouts. With the last iPhone update to OS 17.3.1, HeartCast disappeared from my watch and according to the App Store, BlueHeart was the only app still supporting my watch. With the free version, the ad would not display so the app wouldn't work. I paid for the Pro version in hopes that it would work and it worked perfectly - connecting immediately and no dropouts during my Zwift ride 👍
I took off one star for the ad-supported version not working and will update later if I have any issues.

Waste of Money

Does not work. Do not buy. Wasted workout time.

Poor.

Watch a 30 second ad to be told to try again, but first watch another 30second advert. No thanks, disgusting practice.

Pro-form Pro 5000 - iFit - Works great!

Love the app, works great! Note that you have to disable adblockers for it to work properly. I also have to power cycle my treadmill after each session. I think these two solutions will resolve 95% of the issues people run into. I use it every day!

My only request for the app is it would be amazing if it could increase the frequency that it reads / broadcasts my heart rate as the competitor app does.

FAQ

What does BlueHeart do?

BlueHeart allows you to use your Apple Watch as a Bluetooth heart rate monitor. It bridges the gap between your watch and gym equipment like Peloton, Mirror, and treadmills, displaying your heart rate data directly on the machines. It also saves your workout data to Apple Health, helping you close your activity rings.

How does BlueHeart integrate with gym equipment?

The app broadcasts your Apple Watch's heart rate data over Bluetooth, making it appear as a standard Bluetooth heart rate monitor. This allows compatible fitness equipment, such as Peloton bikes, Mirror devices, and various cardio machines, to receive and display your real-time heart rate.

Is BlueHeart free to use?

The app offers a free version with ads. To remove ads, gain custom app icons, and skip the start screen, users can upgrade to BlueHeart Pro through an in-app purchase.

What devices is BlueHeart compatible with?

BlueHeart is designed to work with any Bluetooth heart rate device. It specifically leverages the Apple Watch to broadcast heart rate data and is compatible with a wide range of fitness equipment including Peloton, Mirror, LifeFitness, Precor, Wahoo, Garmin, and TrainerRoad.

How does BlueHeart protect my privacy?

BlueHeart is built with privacy as a core focus and is compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and Apple's No-Tracking guidelines. The app does not upload any identifiable data to its servers, ensuring that your personal health information remains yours.
