Excellent!
Excellent training and recovery tool. It has helped me tremendously.
Great
Wish I could press one less button to check recovery
UI could be improved
The device is great and I love the metrics. However the UI could be improved. It takes 4 or 5 steps and confirmation to start a recording a workout. It should be faster and easier. Multiple times, I ended up realizing the workout didn’t start because there is a last confirmation. If I start a workout, why do I need to confirm so many times. Let’s just start recording!

Great program
Easy to use program to assist you with increasing your heart health. Highly recommend.
Great fitness tool
This the single most useful tool you can use on your fitness journey. It’s much more useful than a smartwatch but you have to learn how to use it for best results.
Zone two calculation
This app is the best of the three I use to calculate hrv and is the only app I am aware of that provides a daily zone two range based on multiple variables including hrv.
Useful and informative
The Mopheus app is easy to use and gives me all the data I need to track my conditioning and performance. I also love all of the information available that answers my questions about the different parameters it tracks.
Great Updates
The latest updates (v 6.x) are great! Much more useful interface with clear daily metrics. The addition of the Zone 2 range is a nice touch (no longer need to compute it myself). Overall speed is vastly improved. Thanks for the update!
Love the new app
Very informative, I understand the challenge better and I appreciate the articles.
This has made a good difference in my recovery and HRV. Thank You

Great app - but didn’t fix pause bug
I love this app and use it daily. A big issue wasn’t resolved in the update though like I was told it would be…. Almost every time I pause a workout, the app unpauses on its own. If that bug would get fixed, I would say 5 stars.
Response from developer
Thanks for the review, although your review is not about the app. The issue you describe is very easy to resolve and avoid. Please reach out to support@trainwithmorpheus.com and we are happy to help.
Great tool for effective training
The information provided by the app has been an eye opening way to train. It measures and evaluates your HRV along with your sleep information to provide the proper heart rate training for the day. If you had a hard workout planned, it will provide number on your recovery and your heart rate range that will give you the best chance at improving your fitness. They have just introduced a new look to the app and it is easy to see your numbers at a glance. Great app to use ever.

Exceptional
The focus this app provides for training is unmatched along with the importance of how you train. The app gets you started and continues to build you in every facet.
Even if you’re not a young competitive athlete!
Many training apps focus on high intensity training, competition and younger populations (this can too). But, I found this app to be particularly great for teaching me how to understand and focus more on the importance of recovery, especially as I move into the older age category. I learned that even though I CAN train everyday, I was training too hard and NOT recovering. Staying strong, healthy and fit is very important as we age but overtraining is our enemy. Try this app if you need to learn more about staying strong but feeling good. Also, Dan is amazing at constantly answering questions, maintaining the app, and engaging with participants. I have never seen that with any other app/developer. The new update is awesome.

Solid but slow
Love the tech - I use it over Whoop or other bands to get HR zone data. However the app can be buggy. Currently, it won’t even open. Can take a while for workouts to sync. Overall worth it but needs bugs to be fixed
Response from developer
We have a brand new, completely redesigned and rewritten from scratch, app coming out in the next few weeks. It’s been undergoing beta testing by hundreds of Morpheus users for the last couple of months. Happy to add you to that so you can use it right now if you reach out to support@trainwithmorpheus.com.
It’s just ok when it works
The app is simple with a mediocre ui and subpar user experience. But I set that aside because I just want to track my heart rate. What’s harder to ignore are the bugs. This app is less reliable than the Android counterpart. I’ve had multiple instances of the app failing to sync with the backend server, where it spins and the homepage ui is hidden. The only fix is to reinstall the app, sometimes resulting in data loss. Have also had issues with it freezing when going to the recovery screen, requiring a reinstall to fix. And I’ve experienced signal loss from the hardware while doing a recovery, which is fixed by restarting the app and power cycling the hardware. Haven’t had any of these issues on the Android app after a year of use.

Slow to connect
In the morning you want it to be responsive and get on with the 2:30 test. I frequently wait for it to load data from Apple health (sleep data) while it spins and spins until I give up. Dev said to disconnect those “third parties” delete app and reinstall. Sure that worked for a day or so and now it is happening again and I want the sleep data assuming the algorithm is using it. It’s almost worth writing my own app at this point given the speed with which one can develop one. I will say it’s a good app when it works.

Our brand new app is ready for Morpheus User beta testing. If you want to join as a beta tester please reach out to support@trainwithmorpheus.com and we’ll add you and communicate how to get the app. We think you’ll find the difference between the old app and the new app to be night and day.
Struggles to connect
I want so bad for this device to be great, but no one who would want one has the kind lifestyle to spend 20 minutes connecting it every morning.
Heart rate zones
Just signed up and looks like the HR zones are way too high based on all the experts I’ve studied.
can't get logged in
bad support
Too much effort to maintain
After using this app for around 16 months, I’m giving it up. I took morning readings every morning for that entire time, and manually recorded all of my running workouts through the sync feature, and it’s just too clunky, slow, and time consuming to keep up.
For all that effort, the main benefit that I got was some advice about modulating my heart rate ranges for recovery, and some suggested weekly targets for each zone. I thought the customized ranges were pretty cool! I used them daily and tried to follow the weekly targets as closely as I could… until about 3 months ago.
Yesterday I completed my first marathon. Training was quite challenging, and came with quite concrete goals—Morpheus targets meant little when I knew I needed to put down an 18 mile run for the day. So I took my readings but did the work I needed to in order to get ready for my race, not what Morpheus suggested.
But ignoring its suggestions for a few months has left me feeling like this app just completely miscalculates what a fitness app should be. So much time waiting for it to load, seeing it crash and having to restart, manually recording every run using a finicky process that only pays attention to heart rate even though that data and more is in Apple Health, and they just can’t be bothered to poll the API and use the data… meh. In the last 18 months, I’ve put many hours of effort into this app, and the value I got from it just isn’t remotely there. I think HRV is really interesting, and I hope to see it used more meaningfully by players in the health space with a stronger product focus. For now, I’m going back to Athlytic. I wish it had this recovery-based HR zone scaling, and a better way to score HRV, but it’s quite useful without it, and is just much more feature rich, providing greater analytic transparency and range, and taking advantage of the wealth of data available through Health integration.
Maybe I’ll check in with these guys if they ever release the app re-write they planned.
