Doesn’t sync with Apple Fitness

Exercise sessions never sync with Apple fitness. Even after resetting everything multiple times

What’s wrong with Polar

I installed Polar flow, and it works fine but doesn’t have option to use sensors memory, so this app now.. it doesn’t sync to apple health, no option to force sync of specific missing training. It is so simple to implement…

Garbage app

The amount of time I’ve wasted waiting for this app to register the heart rate on my device is pitiful. My phone says the device is connected via Bluetooth, yet the app won’t register it. Trash.

Download nightmare

If you record to the HR sensor, it is almost impossible to get it off. The app keeps crashing over and over and won’t do it. It’s a real pain.
