My app was great and suddenly stopped working a few days ago. Now what? ### 3/5 — Latest version is in a “show me” demo loop. *2026-07-24, version 4.9* I just purchased this app and I’m already having problems with the fact that the demonstration portion on first install is stuck in a “show me” loop. With a lot of clicking around I can try and get around it, but it is a bit of a PITA. Plus for some reason my Apple Watch continues to ask for permission for my health information and despite approving that it resets back. Hard for me to review the capabilities of this app until I solve some of these small annoyances. ### 4/5 — Over the years *2026-07-12, version 4.9* Overall good app, only have problems with older phones ### 2/5 — More details but *2026-07-11, version 4.9* A little more details than appl Health app but analysis. Regret buying. ### 5/5 — Still Awesome!!! *2026-06-17, version 4.9* Fun way to keep track of more than your heart rate. The HeartWatch provides additional information for monitoring my heart rate and other activities coming from the Apple Watch. But the graphical presentation looks better with added features like gauges that monitor everything you do. Best of all, monitoring Timogotchi is a fun way to encourage you to move and burn those calories. ### 5/5 — Great app, one minor flaw *2026-06-03, version 4.9* This is a great app, I love that it’s a one time purchase and no more in-app purchases or data mining. The data it captures is valuable and works well with their other wonderful app, AutoSleep, to give a better picture of one’s health status. One minor flaw that I hope the devs can address: I receive HR alerts when my HR exceeds or goes under a certain threshold (a great feature!) but these alerts often come hours later. Getting the alerts immediately would be a lot more helpful. Otherwise, this is a wonderful, high quality app and I’m very happy with it. ### 5/5 — Loving it, no subscription *2026-06-02, version 4.9* Long time user of AutoSleep, decided to give HeartWatch and AutoSnore a go. I really only did this for one reason, you don’t do subscription and allow us to pay a one time purchase. In a world where everybody wants to do subscription, this was refreshing to see. I like how HeartWatch gives a different view and more detailed information than the normal Health app or competitions like HUAWEI. So far enjoying my experience seeing the trends it gathered from years of information stored in Apple Health ### 5/5 — Steps complicación for Apple Watch *2026-05-23, version 4.9* Parece que habeis quitado la complicación de pasos para el apple watch. A ver si la volvéis a poner en la próxima actualización. ### 3/5 — Crashes *2026-05-22, version 4.9* Keeps crashing periodically ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-04, version 4.9* Love it. Does what I need and works well with AutoSleep. I’ve had it for around 4 years now and it’s still going strong. ### 4/5 — Great product *2026-04-21, version 4.9* Motivates and rewards for effort ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-17, version 4.9* Love this app ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-04-12, version 4.9* Amo esta aplicación ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — One Star *2026-08-28, version 4.9* For an app I had to purchase with another app that I did not need, I used both for a year. Checked my data because I have health issues and have since 2019 and this app has not given me not one ounce of information. In the year I have had this app installed on my devices in hopes of CONTINUOUS tracking it has done just the opposite. Thank you. My medical team also thanks you for wasting their time. ### 1/5 — App Changed—New Privacy Concerns *2026-08-10, version 4.9* Why do you need all health app data for the app to function properly? Holding app functionality hostage behind data mining scheme. Summary: “Just give us access to all these unrelated health details, we promise never to look at them. And we promise with this extra data the app can calculate your heart rate that you already don’t need calculations for because you gave us the raw data.” The app refuses to function now that you’ve added full health data access requirements. Worked fine before this, you don’t need access to everything just to read my heart rate sensor. You don’t need my birthday to calculate anything when you have access to the sensor that is on my arm! Just do the thing you were designed for and read and write only my heart rate and get your greedy hands off of my PHI. Quoted requests from the app itself: “Your one time build was cancelled as HealthKit access was disallowed, probably due to locking your device. You can try again and it will resume from where you left off.” (I didn’t lock my device it showed this error immediately upon trying to look at any heart rate details in the app.) “You don't seem to have entered your birthdate in your Apple Health app profile. This is required for heart rate calculations.” (It’s not, I get my HR through the sensor.) ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY IN CANADA *2026-07-30, version 4.9* Grrr waste if money ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-05-22, version 4.9* Does not allow you to actually take an EKG, or look up data in real time. Instead, it offers the ability to put aggregate data into colorful charts similar to the ones already available in the health app. As far as I can tell it adds nothing. Ascertaining this was nontrivial, and it decidedly conflicts with the impression given by the App Store listing. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-05-10, version 4.9* Приложение постоянно сбоит. Пропадает синхронизация с приложением здоровье. Регулярно теряются данные. Не получается это исправить. ### 1/5 — CAN’T RECOMMEND *2026-04-18, version 4.9* No free trial. Didn’t allow me to cancel once I clicked on what I thought was a free trial. No response from app’s customer service and no response from the App Store even after 6 messages and 2 emails attempting to cancel subscription within “supposed free trial.” Not a helpful app as the numerical response you get isn’t usefully explained. Much of the text you get in response to using this app tries to persuade you to buy more services (like glucose monitoring, even if you don’t need it, you’ll still get pressure to buy more more more more more with every use of this app. I tried to cancel the app within 2 days of using it but there’s no way to cancel and my writing messages asking for cancellation seem to have been ignored. I’d thought was trying the app within a “7 day free trial—at the end of my spending 5 days of the free trial repeatedly trying to cancel and sending messages via the app and Apple Store to cancel, I was charged. I do notrecommend this app. ### 1/5 — 中文翻译问题 *2026-04-13, version 4.9* 1. 你们就没有意识到你们的中文翻译有多么烂吗？sedentary bpm翻译成“静息”，直接误导用户，以为是“RHR静息心率”！“清醒”又是什么意思？这是个形容词！我是不是把这个理解为真正的静息心率？这样的翻译问题多如牛毛，作为一个卖的这么多的软件，能不能校准一下呢？2. 磁贴不能手动排列 一定要按你们的顺序？3. 你们五个月没更新了 你们测试过这款软件和iPhone air这类手机的兼容性吗？显示不全，操作卡顿！ ### 1/5 — Not for iWatch4 *2026-03-24, version 4.9* I was sad that in February when my iOS was updated and the watch was updated, I lost all of the heart rate stuff. They recommended this app, but it does not work for my system. It keeps telling me that I need to add my birthday to my health app. But it is there. I would like a refund. This doesn’t work for me. ### 1/5 — Notifications are way tooooo slow! *2026-03-10* Get high or low heart rate notifications many hours after the event! What’s the point??? Added to that, sometimes get high heart rate notifications from a time when I was running up stairs or something, yeah no joke my heart rate was higher at that time! Looks much nicer than Apple’s poor attempt but the notifications are a killer, not worth the money sorry **Developer response:** Hi, this is easily solved. Please reach out to our support or refer to this link with instructions that will help: https://heartwatch.tantsissa.com/faq/alerts ### 1/5 — Doesn’t integrate with Apple Health app *2026-01-29, version 4.9* Just downloaded the app and set all notifications and allow app to read Health app. Unfortunately when I go to open the app it pops up a window indicating “You don’t seem to have entered your birthdate in your Apple Health app.” Checked my Health app and confirmed my birthdate is entered. Don’t understand why I’m getting this message but if this app can read a simple piece of data from my Health app then I seriously doubt it will accurately read important data like my heart rate, etc. . . Deleting app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-09-04, version 4.9* Great app all sorts of metrics to track. Pay once and done! ### 5/5 — Great tracking with no data sharing *2026-08-31, version 4.9* I like the journal and measurement features. They allow me to note any changes. The interface is easy to read and use. In a world where most apps are transmitting all kinds of personal data to multiple parties, this one shares nothing. ### 5/5 — Get this app *2026-08-17, version 4.9* Recommend this app for keeping track of your heart rate. Excellent sleep tracker. ### 5/5 — Life changer! *2026-08-13, version 4.9* Essential for my health tracking! Two apps plus iwatch have changed my life and this is one of them. When you are a senior and have heart issues this makes a huge difference in understanding your body and working to improve it as best you can. If you are young and healthy, it can help you stay that way. This app and my Auto Sleep app are the reasons i got my apple watch. They are the best health trio i know. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app!!
