Just a log

If you just want to manually enter on the data from your sauna session this app is for you. That wasn’t what I was looking for.
No stop watch or timer built in to the app so you have to time your session in other ways then figure out/ remember your start time to log it. No cold plunge option.

Pretty good but room for improvement

Would love to see a timer feature to start a session at anytime and support with Bluetooth devices to automatically track heart rate like from earbuds.

A start/stop session timer and Bluetooth-based heart rate tracking are both great ideas & we’ve noted them down. We really appreciate you taking the time and helping shape HotLog! 🔥

Good easy app

Very easy to use & nothing like it

Could use some improvements

I appreciate the polished interface and the ability to track my time in sauna as workouts that are stored in Apple health. However, why can I not choose a humidity over 40% for a Sauna? I have a traditional steam sauna and cannot choose above 40%?? I’d love to see the ability to save presets for time, temp, and humidity!

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! 🔥 We’re really happy you’re enjoying the interface and Apple Health integration. Since your review, HotLog has evolved quite a bit. You can set humidity all the way up to 100%, making it a much better fit for steam saunas as well.

Just what I needed

This app is essentially perfect for its stated purpose… Just simply tracking my sauna use: time, temperature. No unnecessary frills.

New feature request

Enjoy being able to log. It would be nice to start and end a session.

We’re really happy you’re enjoying HotLog. A start-and-end session flow is a great suggestion, and we’ve added it to our list of ideas. Thanks for taking the time to share it and helping us make HotLog even better. Thanks for the feedback!

Great App!

Links your sauna time to Apple Health. Easy to use!

Meh

Wish there was a countdown timer in app so that you could have a session capture your actual time in sauna without needing to set a separate timer. Would also appreciate if it connected with health more cleanly (height/weight, etc to better estimate calories based on heartbeat etc)

We really appreciate the ideas around a built-in countdown timer and deeper Apple Health integration. We’ve got ongoing improvements planned for HotLog, and feedback like yours helps shape what comes next. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.

Mega für Sauna Fans

Tolle App mit schickem Layout und einwandfreier Funktion. Es wäre toll wenn man beim Aufguss Regler auch einen Duft eintragen könnte :) (statt bei den Notizen)

Good but needs watch

Good app but needs a watch app and timer and heart rate integration.

All manual input😞More of a journal

I was looking for a sauna app to record sessions. While this app provides a log it could use room for improvement. All input is entered manually. I would like to see more user friendly. For example. Heart Rate should be monitored when I hit a start button for my sauna session. Just how apple provides workout apps. It would record everything once you hit go…

We totally get the idea of a “press start and everything is tracked” experience like in workout apps. The challenge is that live tracking in a sauna is still quite limited, because most wearables aren’t designed to reliably operate in high heat and humidity conditions. That’s why HotLog currently focuses on simple session logging with Apple Health sync. We really appreciate your input though. Feedback like this helps us keep shaping where HotLog goes next

Needs some tweaking please!

It’s so nice having something to log times but if you could add the ability to look at weekly, monthly, yearly like a fitbit app that would be awesome as you could try and do more temp or time and/or compare weekly/monthly/yearly stats

Thanks for bringing the heat! 🔥 Great to hear you enjoy the simplicity of logging your sauna sessions. The idea of adding weekly, monthly, and yearly views for better comparisons is really interesting – we totally get how that would help you spot patterns over time. We appreciate you sharing this and always keep feedback like this in mind as we continue to evolve HotLog.

Super App aber…

HotLog ist eine super App für alle Saunagänger die es lieben Daten zu Dokument und zu tracken. Das einzige was dieser App dringend fehlt ist eine Apple Watch App mit der ich die Einträge auch von meiner Apple Watch aus starten und tracken kann. Oftmals hat man kein Handy dabei aber die Apple Watch schon. Ob das bei den Temperaturen sinnvoll ist oder nicht sei jetzt mal dahin gestellt. Die Möglichkeit zu haben wäre super.

Keine Updates bitte…

…welche die ganzen Logs löschen. War letztes Jahr der Fall. Und bessere Exportmöglichkeiten, die auch funktionieren anbieten. Konnte meine Logs nicht mehr wiederherstellen.

Sonst alles super für den Zweck. Danke!

Useless.

Can’t even get it to work. If it is working what does it do.

Doesn’t do as advertised waist of $2.99

Doesn’t calculate calories

Def not worth paying for

I mean you enter your start and end time that’s it and you pay for that?

Poorly thought about

Says can track ice baths and has a toggle but can’t track temps below 30c in the app which makes no sense.

The temp field should allow for more values to track ice bath temps.
