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.

I am getting ready for workout running and stuff💪

Gg today I am going through my muscles and my body and my muscles so I’m not going to get fat

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.

No Indoor non-GPS walking

As someone who does a lot of walking during my recovery from heart surgery, I was saddened to see that indoor walking or treadmill walking, was not an available exercise on the polar bear app. I know there are other options to use but when you have a plethora of options including the entire Les mills product catalogued the least you can do is have the basics for people to tap into. Happy I don’t pay for the app!!

심박층정기

정확하고사용하기편해요

Sync

Can’t get the app to sync with Apple Health, I does it once when you reset the app then the day after there’s no data is showing,

Rubbish

I’ve used a lot of deferent types of fitness watches over the years. This has been a terrible experience. The tech is absolute rubbish. I don’t think any efforts was put into the UX.

No clip?

Polar flow allows trimming of sessions for some strange reason this is still not a function in beat. More work on this app would help it go further.

The Best Fitness App

I love the fat/fitness feature. It really improves my awareness about what my workout is doing and everytime it says “You are burning fat”, it lifted my mood. Over time, it conditioned me to love walking! Great for building good workout habit! Love, love,love this app.

Bluetooth says connected

But the app can’t find it. Shouldn’t be that hard. I mean really? Says right there,
iPhone settings, Bluetooth, polar connected to iPhone. App just has a spinning wheel looking for it. Like I said, shouldn’t be that hard

Awful navigation, loses data

Using Polar Beat with my H10 just a few weeks now. Sensor seems to work well but this app is wanting. Observations thus far:

#1 - When I waited to download a workout I was unable to do so. Tre only way to record my next workout was to delete the old one from my H10. Fail.

#2 - Just finding the “save a workout” function is inconvenient. Why hide it under the three-dot menu(top right corner) ?

#3 - After you end a workout, you have to restart the app to get the Last Sessions to reappear at the bottom of the Training function. You need to do this before you can get it to sync with Polar Flow.

#4 - It loses connection with my H10 & has to be re-paired. This happened today, AFTER I had already connected & was detecting a heart rate.

I’d genuinely like to rate it all higher, but this needs refinement.

Apple Health sync

I have tried everything but polar beat not syncing w apple health. It worked quite well before though.

Pairing stinks

Why does (sustainable) pairing have to be difficult?

POS

Just want a HR monitor not this piece of Shi data collection device for the flipping company. Had one 30 years ago. Perfect. This thing is POS intrusion

Just keeps failing

My son purchased this for me 6 months ago and it’s worked twice! I don’t understand why, after following all the instructions and replacing a brand new battery twice my chest polar beat will not work? I certainly wouldn’t recommend this product.
Just too much trouble and tired of spending so much time just to have it fail again and again.

Go buy it

The best HR monitor by a mile highly recommended

Works Well

I’ve been using this app for 2 months in conjunction with the polar H10 heart rate monitor. I’m 56 years old. When I started my resting heart rate was in the mid 60s. It is now in the mid 40s. I’ve been really pleased with the progress. I’ve made in two months. With the exception of a brief period about 10 years ago I have never really been a runner. I run 3 to 4 times a week. 2-1/2 mile course. I’m just trying to improve my pace while maintaining my heart rate. This app and the H10 monitor have been major game changers!!
