## What is BMi Heart Rate Monitor?

Innovative display and documentation of the heart rate in combination with a Bluetooth Smart chest belt. 
   After the configuration of the individual settings and training zones, and a connection to the chest belt the heart rate is visualized as an absolute value of beats per minute and as a percentage of the stored maximum heart rate value of the user. Additionally, the deviation (variability) of the separate heart beats is displayed in milliseconds. The different training zones are individually colored and easily comprehensible.
   After starting the recording, the statistical values (MAX, AVG, and MIN) are updated continuously. Furthermore, the intensity of the training (TRIMP, CR10, kcal, a timeline of HR, zone duration) is displayed as an accumulated sum, as percentages, and as a graph.
   Recorded training sessions can be documented and shared in several ways like Dropbox, email, or others. The recording produces a summary of training results as a PDF file and a CSV file containing the raw training data.
   Best results will be achieved with the recommended chest belt from BM innovations GmbH.

### 5/5 — Best realtime HR display using BLE sensors

*2023-12-09, version 1.0*

This is the only simple app I found that keeps a realtime heart rate display active. Sensor compatility includes:
- WHOOP 4.0 in broadcast HR mode; and
- Polar Verity Sense arm band (excellent)

The app does not ask to harvest your data, your last meal, et.

### 5/5 — Now it works

*2023-02-28, version 1.0*

App was looking for the Bluetooth device for hours but finally it worked.

This app is the only one which tracks the heart rate for hours and uses a belt. Perfect, and for free.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it should without being bloated

*2022-12-05, version 1.0*

Great app. This is the only app that support BLE HR monitor belts I could find that supports the Garmin HRM-Dual. Very nice interface.

There is only one small flaw. The time scale of the diagram is wrong when re-opening a record. I think the time of the scale is twice the actual time.

### 4/5 — Great free app

*2022-09-13, version 1.0*

Great hr monitoring app for my Bluetooth chest strap hr monitor! One of the ONLY free apps I’ve found for iPhone that does not require Apple Watch! Tracks my hr throughout workouts. Would be nice if it had audible feedback indicating when you are entering or exiting a heart rate zone, but really happy with this app so far.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2022-05-09, version 1.0*

Far better than the app recommended by my heart rate monitor.
Great to be able to configure desired heart rate zones manually. 
Refreshingly simple, and free!

Requests: would be great to be able to label recorded sessions so we can tell what we were doing during measurement. 
And would be good to be able to export/share an image of a recording as well as the plain text csv.

Thank you!

### 5/5 — Mr

*2021-10-12, version 1.0*

Great and easy to use app, i connected it fast and could see my heart rate instantly whit the strap, i tried to download other apps like nike, strava, zova and some others and it took me much longer to connect and understand how to use them whit this one it it was izi pizi.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2019-04-12, version 1.0*

Good app which does everything you would expect and even better it’s free. My only gripe is the lack of instructions so I’m not sure what so of the info supplied means??

### 2/5 — HR Monitor

*2018-12-29, version 1.0*

Needs work, suppose to produce cvs and pdf file but only produces cvs. Also what does “trimp” mean?
