### 4/5 — Traduction français

*2026-06-05*

Hello,

I am using HRV Track and really appreciate the application. I would like to know if you plan to add a French translation in a future update.

A French language option would make the app more accessible and easier to use for French-speaking users.

Thank you for your work and for considering this suggestion.

Best regards.

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour vos gentils mots ! Nous sommes ravis que l'application vous plaise. Nous n'avons pas encore décidé si nous proposerons des traductions, mais vos retours nous ont aidés à établir nos priorités, et si nous décidons d'avancer, le français sera l'une des toutes premières langues que nous ajouterons. Nous vous remercions sincèrement d'avoir pris le temps de partager cette suggestion, et nous en tiendrons compte dans nos prochaines mises à jour.

### 3/5 — Sehr hilfreich, aber nicht mit Abo!

*2026-02-06*

Ich rufe die Infos über die App mehrmals am Tag ab. Sehr gut dargestellt und auf der Watch gut nachvollziehbar. Mit der Atemübung in der Achtsamkeits-App wird nach einer Minute die hrv gemessen. Wer mal googelt was die hrv ist wird erstaunt sein.
ABER ich bin heilfroh, dass ich die App 2021 einfach für 3,49€ kaufen konnte. Ich würde sie nicht abonnieren, denn man kann die Daten auch einfach in der Health App einsehen. Sehr schade, dass man jeden Mist heutzutage abonnieren soll.

### 2/5 — Removed complications features and now the app doesn’t pick up my HRV readings

*2025-08-29*

When I wake up I run a mindfulness meditation to capture my waking HRV. Then I open this app on my watch to see what the reading is. In the last couple months or so this app has changed the complication features to the point I had to completely change a watch face I had for a long time. Now suddenly I can’t even view my latest readings from the watch app? Getting buggy. May not continue using it. I’ve checked all permissions and my other apps are still able to read my HRV data. This app is losing its edge.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that the complications aren't working as expected on your device. This issue probably occurs when the app tries to update from the old legacy version to the completely renewed 2.0 version. You probably need to reinstall the app on your Apple Watch and restart your device. If this doesn't work please contact us at contact@sydvesti and we will happily help you out with getting the app working again. So sorry for the inconvenience.

### 5/5 — Works great! Complication woot!!

*2024-06-28, version 1.5.5*

Exactly what I needed - thank you. And thanks for not doing stupid subscription!

### 4/5 — Apple Watch Widgets?

*2023-12-08, version 1.5.5*

A good app, but I am surprised it does not have Apple Watch widgets!?

### 5/5 — top

*2023-09-23*

super

### 5/5 — App does exactly what is says it does

*2023-02-20*

Awesome app. Saves me from digging into the apple health app and provides basic statistics (without opinion) of recent, daily, weekly and yearly values. The companion I watch app and it’s widget are also nice to have. 

Personally I edit my health HRV data if I see an extremely low or high value or that is not consistent with the over all data - I get rid of it.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review!

### 2/5 — Giving it a whirl

*2023-02-09*

Despite the reviews of recent that app looks nice and thought I would give it a try in addition to my other apps which do work well. Giving this a try and comparing the data against what the health app shows and the other two apps.

Update: the main app I use is more updated and this app does not help in anyway, to all, compare the source data(health app) against what you see in this app. You want it to update in addition to using mindfulness app. Now would like a refund as my other apps work way better. I’ve tried so many and landed on the ones that work for me, this one does not.

### 5/5 — I expected more but works great

*2023-02-07*

I expected more detailed results on my Apple Watch screen and not through using the breathe app. But it does what it says and work smoothly

### 4/5 — Good free app to monitor HRV

*2023-02-01*

A feature request: add the ability to show some more robust statistics other than average. At least for me a few of the measurements are way off and significantly affect the average.

### 1/5 — Menu?? Settings??

*2025-12-10, version 2.6*

Is there a menu for the app? My goodness

### 1/5 — Tested

*2025-10-11*

Very infrequent HRV updates and a waste of £1.99

### 1/5 — Does not work for new Apple Watch

*2025-10-07*

Hi there, it was pleasure to use HRV tracker on previous watch. 

But after last updates right now I can see only lock. Also, I’ve tried to play with subscription - it does not work. 

Ive contacted developer of the app, and from first time my email was ignored. 

When I follow-up again they have started diagnostics. Unfortunately after following several guidelines nothing happened. 

It was nice functionality about current stress level, but after adding reports and other unnecessary features application does not work anymore on my device. It’s sad

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. For some reason, your legacy paid app status isn't syncing from your iPhone to your new Apple Watch. Unfortunately, we haven't yet been able to determine why the sync fails on your device, while it works as expected on others. We're very sorry for the inconvenience, and we're doing our best to resolve this issue affecting your Apple Watch.

### 1/5 — 1980s app

*2025-09-16*

Don’t update when transferring to new iPhone. Unintuitive, incompatible and basic. fail.

### 1/5 — New Version ruins it

*2025-08-28, version 2.1*

The old version was simple and perfect. Easy to ready and understand with a glance. The new version does more, but is incredibly less useful. No clear numbers. Not easy or intuitive to see what you’re looking at. I’m getting a different app. Not useful now.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-06-12*

Since the new update my watch HRV number didn’t update. Tried to reset it and now it just shows a lock and tells me to open in app. I open in app and nothing happens

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that the app isn't working on your Apple Watch as it should. Could you contact us at contact@sydvesti.com so we could help you out.

### 1/5 — Not sure what is free

*2025-05-21*

Got this app as free app of the day! Not sure what is  free ! Everything is paid !  Strange

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. There is a set of basic features available for free, but a subscription is required for the Premium features.

### 1/5 — App Does Not Work

*2024-07-25, version 1.5.5*

I purchased the app  and downloaded it to my IPhone.  It doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2023-11-08, version 1.5.5*

App does what your watch already does. It’s redundant and pointless.

### 1/5 — Over priced - nothing but graphing

*2022-06-02*

Waste of money. No insight or functionality beyond static graphs

### 5/5 — crazy! 🤩

*2026-05-14*

die app ist mittlerweile super gut. früher hat sie eigentlich nur durchschnitte angezeigt, aber jetzt gibt es so viele insights und verschiedene werte… da bleibt wirklich kein wunsch offen… 😍

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die positive Bewertung!

### 5/5 — A good (maybe obsessive) measure

*2026-04-12*

I am 81 and obsessed with staying healthy for another 10 years at least! It’s pretty clear that research coming about now is that we actually can get up to 8-10 months back for every year we age and those stats are getting better all the time. (See Ray Kurzweil for deeper data). One thing is clear, our heart is a major key to our health and having a measurement that lets us know how we are taking care of our heart is an excellent piece of data. I’m an engineer so I love data and these data from the HRV tracker are really helpful to assess how I am doing relative to my recent and long term history. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s worth knowing how we are doing so we can adjust!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review!

### 5/5 — Great application to measure stress

*2025-10-28*

Hi there, it was pleasure to use HRV tracker. 

Developers are very responsive, kind and deep dive to issue. I had two watches and they found solution. 

Its really nice functionality about current stress level.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback.

### 5/5 — The new update

*2025-05-29*

Been using this app for years and holy cow was I surprised when I opened it today. What an amazing update! The redesign is gorgeous!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2025-05-29, version 2.0.1*

This is a fantastic app providing useful information for historical review of your HRV. 

Has a new look (GUI) that I think is perfect. Developer response is outstanding. 

I use this app in conjunction with my Garmin data. Garmin hides data and only shows results. 


Edit:  5/29/25
Love to new look and additional information. 

Appears that if I select the 14 days option - the app freezes.  Fwi.

### 5/5 — New user in

*2025-05-26*

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! Could you contact us at contact@sydvesti.com regarding the 14 day option issue.

### 5/5 — Version 2.0

*2025-05-21*

As a user of the app for several years, I was wondering if the app was abandoned. 
Well no it’s not, and Version 2.0 was completely rebuilt from scratch. If HRV tracking is something you watch, this app is well worth it!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review!

### 5/5 — Best sports app!

*2024-12-11, version 1.5.5*

This app allows me to train perfect!

### 5/5 — Works well

*2024-11-18*

This is the HRV track you’ve been looking for

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review!

### 5/5 — Pay once, tracker forever!

*2024-08-29*

Glad for lack of subscription.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review!
