Best for biohackers

This is the only app (that I could find) which allows continuous 24h tracking of HRV data using the Polar H10 strap. This is important for accurately measuring SDNN data in a way that compares to clinical literature. In general the app unlocks all features of the H10 strap. Furthermore it allows exporting the data (including raw RR intervals and ECG) to open formats (text, csv), which enables you to process it later using your own custom algorithms. This makes it ideal for biohackers. Bonus thanks for making the app compatible with my old iPhone 6s running an ancient iOS version.

P.s: some reddit threads seem to suggest incorrectly that the H10 was not designed for continuous monitoring of HRV. It might be a good idea if the dev posted about the app in those threads. I was only able to find this app after several painful searches using LLMs

Für durchschnittliche Nutzer ungeeignet

Inbetriebnahme ist einfach. Leider funktioniert die Darstellung bei Rotation des Handys nicht. Aufzeichnung der Daten ist wie angegeben möglich. Jedoch muss man für die Auswertung in der Lage sein, die zu exportieren in Excel Dateien zu bearbeiten, bevor man dann ein Ergebnis bekommt. Für Techniker und Informatiker sicherlich interessant. Allerdings sicherlich nicht für 90 % Durchschnittsnutzer. Empfehlung: die Daten sollten direkt auch aus der App darstellbar und aufrufbar sein. wie zum Beispiel beim ECG logger

Vielen Dank für Ihr ausführliches Feedback. Es freut mich, dass die Aufzeichnung mit der App wie beschrieben funktioniert und die Inbetriebnahme für Sie einfach war. Sie haben Recht: Die App ist bewusst auf die Aufzeichnung und den Export der EKG-Daten ausgelegt. Eine integrierte Auswertung oder Darstellung der Messdaten ist derzeit nicht Bestandteil der App und wird auch in der App-Beschreibung entsprechend beschrieben. Ebenso ist eine Unterstützung der Bildschirmrotation aktuell nicht vorgesehen. Die App richtet sich vor allem an Nutzer, die ihre Daten in externen Programmen weiterverarbeiten möchten. Wenn Sie eine App mit integrierter Auswertung suchen, ist eine andere Lösung möglicherweise tatsächlich besser für Ihren Anwendungsfall. Ihre Anregung zur direkten Darstellung der Daten in der App nehme ich dennoch gerne auf. Vielen Dank dafür. Falls die App die beschriebenen Funktionen für Sie zuverlässig erfüllt hat, würde ich mich freuen, wenn Sie Ihre Sternebewertung noch einmal überdenken würden. Als kostenlos testbare App und Freizeitprojekt hilft jede faire Bewertung sehr dabei, die Weiterentwicklung zu unterstützen.

Einwandfrei!

Einfache Bedienung und eine sehr gute Website mit weiteren Erläuterungen. Ganz wichtig: Eine Frage meinerseits an den Entwickler wurde innerhalb kurzer Zeit beantwortet! Was möchte man als Nutzer mehr?

Has apple health integration

Overall it does what it says on the tin. It also retroactively writes to apple health (though if you’re lucky, most of the time the cache appears to exist before then anyway, and plenty of third party readers can see it)
I’d love to see some things changed, but that’s the case with any project like this. In particular I’d like an alert if the band disconnects for more than a minute, and it would be cool to set some sort of automatic/continuous mode.

Thank you for your review! Glad the app is useful. I agree, a notification at disconnect would be useful. I will look into that. Thanks. Can you define automatic/continuous mode? Maybe send by email. Always open for suggestions. 😊

Great app but the license purchased does not unlock on my iPad.

I purchased the lifetime license on my iPhone. The purchase appears in my Apple purchase history on the iPad (same Apple ID), but the app does not unlock premium on the iPad. The app has no “Restore Purchases” option..

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. To restore your lifetime purchase on another device, please make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchase. Then open the subscription screen in the app and scroll all the way to the bottom to find “Restore Purchases.” If it still does not unlock, please contact support and I’ll be happy to help. If this resolves the issue and you enjoy the app, I’d really appreciate an updated rating. 😊

Cannot find the data recorded

I tried to locate the file, however, I’m unable to find it. Can you please help with that?

Best Polar H10 app on the market

Works exceedingly well for monitoring my exercises (rowing machine, hiking, and walking). An unexpected benefit was its invaluable help in diagnosing the heart rate subtleties (via the 'R-R Interval' and 'ECG Stream') associated with my nighttime sleep issues. Live plotting on the iPhone, along with data exporting to plotting software (spreadsheets, custom computer programming) makes this an invaluable tool.

Trying to Charge me double after LIFETIME membership.

I am trying to access the app after paying for the lifetime membership but it doesn’t allow me to access the features that comes with it and instead prompts me to pay again. Will revise review if/when this is fixed. Definitely not fair to not be able to use what I paid for and then get asked to pay again for it.

Hello, the purchases are handled by the Apple App Store, not by the app. Does it work in the meantime? Feel free to contact support at ecg-recorder@poeml.de

Not working and limited documentation

I’ve tried to use this but have been unable to connect to my h10. It has the latest firmware but doesn’t show up in the app. I’ve tried with it paired in the normal iPhone Bluetooth and not but the app never sees it, there is nothing whatsoever in the docs about how to connect that I could see. The h10 connects fine to my fenix 6, my iPhone and polar flow/beat so I don’t think it is my device. I have looked at GitHub as well but no coverage of whether I need to pair to iPhone first or really any help unfortunately

Hello, please contact support at ecg-recorder@poeml.de to solve the connection problem. Thank you.

Funktioniert!

Die App funktioniert auf meinem iPad tadellos. Ich übertrage die Polar-H10-Daten auf meinen Windows-PC und kann dort mit Kubios lite auch beliebig lange Aufzeichnungen auswerten.
Leider hätte ich noch gerne den Beschleunigungssensor des H10 ausgelesen, um auch Schlafanalysen zu machen. Vielleicht kommt das noch in Zukunft, um den fünften Stern vergeben zu können.

Subscription

The app works great and it has been a huge help! However, now that I don’t need it anymore I am unable to find where I can cancel the subscriptions! Any help would be appreciated !

Hi. Glad that the app has been helpful. You can cancel the subscription in the settings of your Apple ID. See here for help: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039. Please consider to revise the 2-star rating. Thanks!

Does exactly what it says

Thank you for developing this really intuitive, simple and useful app. The free trial was very nice to be able to check it out first and then a fair price, for a privately developed app (that I know cost a fair bit just to host!).
Works perfectly with H10.
If it automatically worked out the HRV from the r values, I wouldn’t need anything else!

Thank you for the positive review. I will keep the HRV in mind for the next version. I had this request before. Will look at it.

Works well but can’t seem to record ECG more than 2 hours

This app works really well & is easy to use. I want to get ECG recording through the night, but it seems to time out after 2 hours & then doesn’t even save the ECG file up to that point. Is there any work around for this??

RR intervals and HR record for extended period (>5 hours) with no issues.

Hi and thanks for the review. Can you contact support at ecg-recorder@poeml.de to solve your issues? It is a bit strange, because since version 1.3 or so ECG data gets autosaved in case of a disconnect of the H10. Also, with my H10 I was able to record over night, more thatn 12 hours. Maybe we can also find out what is disconecting, the H10, or the receiving device. Thanks.

Disappointed- not connecting

It connected at first try then had to purchase subscription. I got subscription and no longer able to connect. Restarted app, watch and Polar H-10. Too bad, I really liked what I saw before paying for subscription

Hi, thanks for your review. Could you please contact support at ecg-recorder@poeml.de? I am sure we can figure out the problem. Are you able to connect to the H10 using the Polar Beat app?

Forced payment

I would somewhat like and be interested in this app if it didn’t pop up pay now every 7 seconds. I’ll look on android for more options Added response: your app is garbage and it will stay garbage lazy nerd probably making more money on the data you are selling then anything else.

Response from developer

Sorry, not everything that's on the internet is free... :-) But you are welcome to use the free trial mode. No popups there and you can test if you like and/or need the app at all. And if not, no need to buy. And no need to leave a bad review. Thanks! Added response: Thank you for the "garbage" and the "lazy nerd" that is very useful feedback! And if you were looking closely, you would see that the app is not collecting any data at all, so (unfortunately) nothing to sell. Enjoy!

Works as Described

Easy to use! My question about the output file was answered in the help section.

Doesn’t connect… I fixed it

update: changed rating since I figured out the issue: it doesn’t connect if some other app is using H20.

Great idea but it doesn’t work. Bluetooth is on, the Polar H10 is available and visible in the app, but after I click connect, nothing happens.

Hi, glad you figured it out. Yes, the H10 needs to be "free", i.e. not connected already, otherwise it will not accept another connection.

Great app!

This app does exactly what I need: to record the output of my Polar H10 in a continuous stream that can be saved.

However, I purchased this app on my iPhone. When I opened it on my iPad, I was asked to pay again. Should this app work on both my iPhone and iPad which are on the same iCloud account?

Thanks for offering such a useful app.

Hi, tanks for the review. Yes, it should work on multiple devices without paying more than once. Are you sure you installed both times with the same Apple ID? Please contact support at ecg-recorder@poeml.de Thanks!
