Useful daily energy signal
I like having a single Body Battery score each morning. It helps me decide whether to push a workout or take an easier day
Would like refund but email keeps bouncing
I downloaded the Body Battery app almost a week ago and straight away just paid for the year thinking it would be exactly what I needed.
Unfortunately it gives me nothing! I have lots of niggly personal issues with it (like it saying my v02max score is poor - when for a 42 perimenopausal woman my score is actually average to good! Is it for young gym bros only?!)
But my main issue is that I have no idea what I’ve got to do with the score / charge I’ve been given! There’s no info / guidance / help / support on what any of it means or how to adapt that days training or recovery!
Please can I cancel my subscription and request a refund.

Doesn’t track swim workouts
Didn’t include any of my swim workouts.
Great app
Lots of details that Apple health don’t have
Zero trial period, payment to even see app
Giving one star because there’s no trial. You’re forced to do a subscription regardless of the price. I have no way to see the app until I pay money. It might be a great app and it might be the worst app. I think it’s icky that companies take all your data all your information and then make you pay before you know what you’re getting.

Simple and does the job
Nothing fancy but works well. Easy to understand which I like
helps with gym days
check it before workouts now. If it says rest… yeah I listen)
Solid upgrade
Gives me way more detail, especially HRV stuff. Feels like I actually understand my body a bit better
helps me pace my workouts
I used to go too hard every day
Super simple app
Just open it and boom, I know if I’ve got energy or not
Hearty laughter to start my day, thx
“We’re a small firm with meager resources” so users should be happy to pay $20yr sub to see how this really works. Riiiight. But you do see enough to spot blatant inconsistencies. SMH
Didn’t expect this tbh
Energy score is weirdly accurate lol. Kinda impressed
Pretty handy app
Been using it for a bit, actually helps me decide when to train
сhecking it way too much
lowkey addicted to the stats now ? pretty cool app overall
Weak
Misleading description in App Store says 3 day free trial. There is none. So I wasted the $20. Every reading is so far off from Autosleep (a much better app) and the readings always say “may be in accurate”. Hell yeah, it’s inaccurate! Aside from just being inaccurate every time, the app just isn’t well designed. Temp is in Celsius and there seems to be nowhere to change it. In fact there are no settings at all. Reading captions go part way through…
and then end with an ellipsis. No way to see the rest. Don’t waste your money.

Response from developer
ho we don’t offer a trial, as we are a tiny team with no resources. But we do show you all your data and insights upfront, so that you can make an informed decision. All the information shown in the app is based on data written to Apple Health (be it by Autosleep or by Apple Watch). So I am not sure why you would term it as inaccurate. Please feel free to email us, more than happy to figure out a way to refund your money if you’re not satisifed with the product :)
Addictive asf
Not gonna lie I check my body battery like 5 times a day ? It’s cool seeing how stress and workouts affect it. Works great with the Apple Watch
Can’t really do what it claims
My main complaint is that it’s fine at grabbing information from Apple Health but fails when a workout has been done with Garmin or Strava. These platforms communicate only partially with Apple Fitness and Apple Health so that even a 3 hour ride in Zone 3 isn’t acknowledged in Apple Health and therefore in Body Battery. The latter then gives you a score based on woefully incomplete information. I don’t think there’s a solution to this as Strava, Garmin etc are seeking to defend their territories etc.
So in conclusion, apart from a novel UI, it’s fairly worthless.

Recovery days feel less guilty now
I used to feel bad skipping the gym. Now if my score is low I actually feel smart about resting.
Response from developer
We actually built this app for this exact use case, because we were working out regardless of how we felt. Glad that it is useful for you
Subtle but useful
I don't check it obsessively. Just glance at it before deciding on a run or rest day. That's all I needed.
Response from developer
Ideally you check it once a day (after you wake up), and then you plan the day accordingly. Please let me know if you run into any issues.
