### 4/5 — Great but some good/bad indicators would be useful

*2026-08-19*

It’s a great app, with some good metrics. Additional good/bad indicators would be useful. For example, my breathing disturbances significantly down this year and lower than my age group. A simple good/bad or similar indicator would be helpful. Not all metrics are good above the average population and vice-versa.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-18*

The most incredible app, really gives you a sense of where you are compared to other people of your age… I presume the data is correct. Based on a big enough test Group size but of course have not verified this. If it is true, then it really is amazing.

### 2/5 — Useless to me

*2026-08-16, version 5.1*

What a waste of money. Most of the topics don't load. Even though my account is active, I still get Demo results. 😡

### 1/5 — Kein Mehrwert und keine deutsche Sprache

*2026-08-06*

Was für einen Sinn die App hat, wenn mir nur 2 Werte angezeigt werden? Und keine deutsche Sprache. Premium für etwas ohne Inhalt, nein. Da gibt es bessere Alternativen. Daher App wieder gelöscht.

### 1/5 — 需要汉化

*2026-08-05*

建议不懂英文的谨慎购买，我买了后一次没使用。

### 2/5 — Lack of definition

*2026-08-05, version 5.0.1*

Lots of statistics and measurements, but no explanation attached to provide insight into what they mean for my health. 

There is a section that provides information re: basic definitions, but not what they actually mean health wise.

### 3/5 — Confusing

*2026-07-31, version 5.0.1*

I’m not sure what all those numbers on the sides mean

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-31*

Really helpful place to learn about my Apple Watch data and compare with others

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-07-07, version 5.0.1*

In my opinion this app is pointless and a waste of money. They're better apps out there for heart health. This one doesn't give you much useful info if any at all. It wants you to purchase other subscriptions to actually see the stuff that actually matters. 
Don't buy it. Not worth it at all.

### 5/5 — Very detailed

*2026-05-16*

I really enjoy getting stats on where i’m at compared to people in my demographic so I can push myself to be stronger.
