### 5/5 — Fantastic device!

*2026-06-27*

I use Fourth Frontier to monitor my AFIB and my exercise. It is accurate, easy to use, and gives tons of useful information. The battery lasts at least 24 hours and charges fast. The App is easy to use and tracks several important metrics. My cardiologist has found the ECG to be very helpful. I now know when I am working out too hard. I love this device and app!

### 5/5 — Satisfied

*2026-06-21, version 22.0.2*

You guys product ROCKS!

### 1/5 — Frontier Zone

*2026-06-16, version 22.0.2*

Rubbish
The device connects end of story it flashes the colours but the app having connected does nothing more no help from the company a waste of a lot of money

### 5/5 — Afib catcher helpful

*2026-06-10, version 22.0.2*

I really like that this will catch my eighth episodes live, though so far I haven’t had one that I know about it.

### 4/5 — Excellent motivation

*2026-05-23, version 22.0.1*

I have AFIB. This app provides great feedback on your improvement metrics. Only complaint is it can mess up your Bluetooth connections.

### 2/5 — Misleading

*2026-05-17, version 22.0.1*

The app makes it look like if you pay for premium they will show advanced metrics like VO2 max. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.  Maybe it   unlocks on your next session after paying. Very disappointed.   Also no way to change alerts after activity starts.  No warning for wearing the sensor upside down. For the price the need to do better.

### 2/5 — Poor timing on forced upgrades

*2026-04-23, version 22.0.0*

Forced upgrades during workouts is no bueno.

### 1/5 — Not a valuable product

*2026-04-17, version 21.1.1*

Not at all reliable. I am in heart failure, and -need- data to help isolate my issues. Three times now, the app has insisted that I upgrade in the middle of my workout. Once, I had to have them recover my workout, as the upgrade trashed it. This is the third time in a month they have interrupted my workout to give me an “upgrade”. 
It’s a great toy, but has limited real benefit.

### 5/5 — Awesome Med Device

*2026-04-11, version 21.1.0*

Game changer! For Athletes that want more data!

### 1/5 — OMG

*2026-04-10, version 21.1.0*

Subpar upgrade on the interface software. Reoccurring Bluetooth connection issues. Most of the time tells you have arrhythmia, which I have been ignoring for several years. No options for interval training. Now trying to make money on subscriptions with AI that is not worth much. They need to up their game.
