Having these notifications pop up telling me everything’s normal. Why? Why tell me when everything’s normal? Tell me when I’m either relaxed or stressed. I do not what to hear anything else. Ever. Moreover, the app between the Watch and phone started telling me two completely different things. Not worth paying for if the free version doesn’t work right. ### 5/5 — Super *2025-04-03, version 2.0.1* Super ### 5/5 — Stress monitoring *2025-03-10, version 2.0.1* This is really making me recognise when I’m tired, stressed and just need a moment to compose myself. Really enjoying using it. The alerts are also very good, as we don’t always recognise when we are stressed. ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2025-02-24, version 2.0.1* This app is the only app that has an alarm when your stress level peaks! ### 5/5 — I would give it 6 stars if I could 😄 *2025-02-16* This app is simple, easy, and just works well. The free version is good and not super pushy with the upgrade offers. But most importantly, This app does well what it says it is for: it helps me monitor my HRV stress levels by tracking my Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and notifying me when it is too low (aka I’m in a high stress moment). Who knew HRV was such a good indicator of how stressed your mind and body are? (I didn’t 😊) So the app is helping me reduce my stress levels by pointing out when I have put myself into a stressful situation and need to make adjustments. Very valuable insights! I’m trying to be more healthy, not just physically but also mentally, and this app is helping me with that To me that is easily worth more than the ~$33/year that it costs! ☺️ ### 4/5 — Stress tracker *2025-01-29, version 2.0.1* Seems to be able to track my overall stress levels which help me to know when to take a break or I am fine enough to keep going on. ### 5/5 — Fantastica *2025-01-19, version 2.0.1* Monitora perfettamente il livello di stress ### 5/5 — The best *2025-01-12, version 2.0.1* This app is revolutionary in its class ### 5/5 — Funzionale *2024-11-23, version 2.0.1* App perfetta, si usa facilmente, spiega in modo chiaro senza dover passare obbligatoriamente alla versione e pagamento. ### 5/5 — Quite accurate and useful readings of my stress levels :) *2024-11-11, version 2.0.1* I like this app and I’ve come to rely on it at times to confirm an ill state or even an allergic reaction. It’s very spot on, I pay attention to my breathing or if I’m sick I rest and take more care of myself and it goes back to “great”. I love the colour coded wheel that helps me reflect on what went right that day and what might need my mindful attention more. ### 4/5 — Efficacité *2024-11-10, version 2.0.1* J’apprécie l’application et notamment les notifications qui me permettent de suivre mon n niveau de stress ### 5/5 — Ottima app *2024-10-20, version 2.0.1* Applicazione molto semplice e intuitiva, notifiche sempre attive e molto accurate ### 5/5 — Reminder to be mindful *2024-10-13* This app has been a great assistant in reminding me to be mindful of my emotional state throughout the day. I am able to adjust my stress by being aware of it. It took me a little while to figure out how it really worked and after initially being skeptical I was able to note that the reminders actually coincided with my stress related activities and emotional state. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that our app has effectively helped you become more mindful of your emotional state and manage stress throughout the day. 😊 ### 5/5 — Alberto *2024-10-10, version 2.0.1* Molto intuitiva e semplice ### 5/5 — Istress *2024-10-03* I love this app i use it everyday. But the only thing is I cant make a widget and I dont like that. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re considering a widget feature—stay tuned! ### 5/5 — Excelente App *2024-10-02, version 2.0.1* Me gusta mucho, me mantiene informado de mi nivel de estrés y estado físico ### 5/5 — excellente *2024-09-24, version 2.0.1* merci ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cadran *2025-05-03, version 2.0.1* Impossible mettre cadran sur watch apple fonctionne plus ### 1/5 — Feels like spam apps *2024-10-01, version 2.0.1* This and another app for the same purpose both prompt for review during on-boarding. Of course you’re getting a 1 star from me in that case ### 1/5 — Hidden paywall *2024-06-29, version 1.2.5* This not a free app and demands money after a few minutes of tutorials ### 1/5 — Very unstable *2024-06-18* The app is very unstable and freezes constantly on the analytics tab. Makes it almost useless at least on and iPhone 15 Pro Max on latest IOS. Will not be renewing my yearly for an app that freezes 99% of the time you try to use it. **Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the app's instability. We have addressed this issue in the latest version. Please update your app to enjoy improved performance. We appreciate your understanding and support.😘 ### 1/5 — No se enlaza *2024-01-05, version 1.2.3* Por más que intento conectarme a la app siguiendo las instrucciones que te dan no lo logro enlazarlos, solo aparece “sin datos” y no puedo ver cómo funciona para compararla y animarme a comprar el premium. ### 1/5 — Alles in het Nederlands zou handig zijn *2023-11-05, version 1.1.3* Alles in het Nederlands zou handig zijn of naar die taal veranderen ### 1/5 — Escroc !!! *2023-10-25, version 1.1.3* J’ai télécharger cette application et juste après j’ai eu une facturation d’Apple alors que je n’ai rien touché JE N’AI PAS DEMANDÉ CETTE ACHAT ### 1/5 — Poor app *2023-10-11, version 1.1.3* This app is a waste of time and is not accurate. ### 1/5 — Super annoying *2023-09-11* Do you want an app that’s going to ask you for feedback about every minute or so even if you just download it and have no experience with it? Do you wanna be so annoyed by an app that it creates stress? If so, this is the app for you. I’m deleting it. **Developer response:** We are sorry for the bad experience. The notification is based on your latest stress data. You can set it in the smart notification on the app settings page, or turn it off in the phone system settings app. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2023-09-02, version 1.1.0* Once you pay for premium nothing works. Insights lock up. Pointless and a waste of money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Stress monitoring *2026-06-01, version 2.0.1* Started using a few years ago. This really enabled me to recognise when I’m tired, stressed and just need a moment to compose myself. In the beginning I scored really low, and was able to recognise what improved my score and incorporate that more into my life. I’m now able to keep my levels fairly good and the notifications enable me to know it is time to rest. I enjoy having this app. ### 5/5 — Parfait *2026-02-25, version 2.0.1* Vraiment super pour suivre que tous ce que mon corps subit merci au développeur ### 5/5 — Great *2025-12-17, version 2.0.1* Recommend ### 5/5 — Good *2025-12-12, version 2.0.1* It’s good I just wish it showed us free users realtime stress levels ### 5/5 — Perfect. *2025-11-28* Easy one to understand and UI is simple. ### 5/5 — 16 Pro Max *2025-11-28, version 2.0.1* User friendly ### 5/5 — Stress *2025-11-13, version 2.0.1* Ottima applicazione ### 5/5 — Buena app. *2025-11-09, version 2.0.1* Tengo varios días usando la app en su modo no premium y está mucho más completa que otras. Hasta el momento de esta reseña 10/10. ### 5/5 — Ottima applicazione *2025-07-16, version 2.0.1* Sono pienamente soddisfatto anche della versione Free. ### 5/5 — I cardiac *2025-07-06, version 2.0.1* Love and use all apps daily. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
