Easy to use
Simple and effective way to test and track your HRV in 60 secs
Obsolete app
Any app that hasn’t been improved /upgraded in over 3 years is one that should be avoided. Is there even a roadmap for a new product? The original idea and implementation was sound. Shame.
Great when it works
Have experienced issues taking successful readings - using finger scanner on an iPhone. Issues often after apple software upgrades meaning a full 60 second measurement period cannot be completed. Seems to be working again end of Feb 24. I stopped using it from Dec 23 until Feb 24 due to the issues. It was the auto payment renewal that prompted me to try again recently.

Dead App should be removed
3yrs ago last update. Why bother spending my $ on a company not making adjustments and improvements.
CAUTION: Does Not Work
Most of the positive reviews are from 4/5 years ago, however the most recent review earlier this year complained the app did not work. I also could not get the app working using a finger sensor or heart rate monitor and I tried the app with an iPad and an iPhone. I’ve sent a support ticket to iThlete and I’ll update this review once I’ve had a response.

Recovered overtrainer
I have a history of overtraining. Ithlete pro has given me an objective measure that acts like a coach to guide me for the day should I go hard or not.
Temperamental device
The device rarely works first time and I can waste 10 mins getting it to take a reading. This means I don’t trust the readings. There’s no guidance on what the app questions mean. It asks if you have a good diet? How is that defined? It also doesn’t show you comparators for age and gender so you can’t see how far in or out of normal range you are. And it wasn’t clear that as well as buying the device you’d need to buy the app.

No Apple Watch support
Bought the app not realizing like so many others this does not use the HRV from the watch and Apple health app. No way to get money back. Read first before buying to see if your device is supported!
DO NOT PURCHASE
Waste of time and money. The app is very glitchy, freezing on multiple occasions just trying to login/sync. Will not take a reading with 2 different Bluetooth HR straps. I want a refund.
Doesn’t work
When I try and connect my Garmin HR strap it finds it, when I select it, it just throws me out of the app.. I paid so will need a refund it it can’t be rectified.
No support for Corsense Finger Sensor
Nice app but unfortunately this is not compatible with Corsense Bluetooth Finger Sensor.
It will see the sensor and begin recording, but just over halfway it says “signal lost” and this happens every single time I’ve tried it.
If you’re the developer of this app, please consider adding the Corsense finger sensor BLE. Thanks.

Useful tool
All of that, but can on occasion be maddening to get a hr to register...
Ithlete Review
Like the app! A couple suggestions. On the testing directions, it didn’t specify taking test sitting or standing so I initially was supine in bed. Went to the website and found info. Secondly, I get several greens (ok to train hard) the day after a hard run. HR > 90% Max for 6 to 7 miles, not sure why? Still in the learning curve?

Been using since 2014
The latest update locked me out. I paid $9.99 to purchase this in 2014. I can no longer access any of my historical data nor can I generate any new data

Not sure
I use three hrv apps including this one. Ocompared to the other two, this one is the least useful. It is a number without context. Ok, it is possible to compare it to previous days but it is essentially just a number and that is it.
Waste of time really.

Heart rate training
Bought app years ago, worked ok. Now they want you to pay additional money to continue to use. Don’t buy it. Very shady.
I paid for this app years ago
I don’t understand why they broke the app. I paid $9 for it years ago and now they won’t let me use it unless I pay for it again. Scummy
Can’t use sensor w/o purchasing app
When I buy an expensive measurement product, I expect to be able to use it without any additional charges. Very disappointing that to achieve functionality, more money must be spent. Had I known this, I would not have purchased from this company.
Do not waste your time / inaccurate
I previously purchased the HRV finger measuring device and had access to the app, which was free to download and use with the product I PURCHASED. Now I have to pay in order to use it? That’s some gangster **** to do, old school bait and switch method. I would have never bought this in accurate device in the first place if I had known I would get jacked for more money later. The app is garbage anyway, you get differing readings even when some back-to-back. Find a better app and company bc ithlete is a fraud.

App Went Subscription
I bought on ithlete HRV meter when this app was free to use. But the company just did a bait and switch and went subscription only. What a con game!
