Update needed

Need to change the settings so that any audio can continue to play while the phone locks.

Love Heartbeat

I searched long and hard for the perfect community app. Not just as a member, but also as someone who runs a membership.

One of the things that made me use HeartBeat was the fact that the mobile app is so fantastic.

They were the first ones who solved the problem elegantly of toggling back and forth between different memberships and toggling back and forth as a member and as a host.

That, to me, was one of the biggest selling points. The app is nice and easy and super well streamlined. I highly recommend it.

Faster and Easier to Navigate…

The app has greatly improved in speed and overall usability. It’s easy to navigate and use. Love it!

Greenlight!

Heartbeat has been an incredible membership hub for my Community and Signature online course. Because it’s has user-friendly features I get to create new experiences for new and current members. They keep expanding the technology so I get to expand with them. It’s a WIN-WIN!

Couldn’t listen to it entirely

I signed up for a one-month subscription to see what this app is all about, and I’m still deciding how much value it brings.

The main reason I’m writing this review is to share some feedback: I genuinely struggled listening to the female narrator because of her tone and pacing. I don’t have ADHD, but listening to her speak so slowly almost made me feel like I did. The content may be great, but the delivery made it very difficult for me to stay engaged!!
