### 5/5 — Absolutely

*2021-08-21, version 3.4.1*

Polar heart rate training is absolutely the best training systems ever. Our students love the system.  I highly recommend Polar.

### 5/5 — Great app! Keep it coming.

*2019-10-24, version 3.3.4*

This has revolutionized our wellness programming. Both our clients and coaches all love what you’ve done. We have no problems getting people signed in and the reports look great. 

Question - any way to add a feature to change the size of the in-class workout boxes? Example, if there is just one student, the box displays larger, and the boxes rescale with the addition of more students to fill up the class space? 

Thanks again - keep up the good work!

### 1/5 — Don’t update ruins app

*2018-02-07, version 3.0.6*

Don’t update this app, now I can’t start a class

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2017-05-19, version 3.0.0*

New interface takes away all ability to manage clients from alternate devices. This update took away all user friendly features and has lessened the intuitive feel the app had prior to the update

### 5/5 — Dan

*2015-10-09, version 1.0.10*

Absolutely superb app we use here at the Martial academy Essex.

### 1/5 — Polar flow club

*2015-02-24, version 1.0.6*

Installed this app but can't get it to open,
Have signed up but received no notification for club log in, poor customer service unless Iam doing something wrong, any help on this!
Update
App keeps crashing!
Can't use without wifi!
The app has some nice features but due to requiring constant wifi  not suitable .
If they could add some of the features in this app to polar team IE preassinged heartrate monitors by number one through to how many would be nice.
Why must this have to have wifi connection ,as some of our locations do not have wifi so we can not use very disappointed.also as instructor I keep having to sign in when I move to another screen very frustrating .would be nice if we could open the app just like the polar team app so much easier.dont think our club will be using this

### 2/5 — Issues

*2014-10-11, version 1.0.4*

You are forced to staff login after registering each new customer.

The app restarts the entire iPad in the middle of the class.

While the class was running, all of the heart rate monitors froze on the screen but the time was still running.

I would suggest having an option to recover a previous session that was lost in the past 10 mins. Staff shouldn't be logged out anytime we need to sign anyone in. There should be an option to sign in past clients without having the client be right next to the iPad if possible. Should have some edit ability when it comes to max heart rates.

### 5/5 — The only way to exercise

*2014-09-04*

I use Polar Flow with my new V800 (love that too).  Pretty much the only app of its kind.  I mean come onnnn, you can watch a mini movie of your run/bike/surf sesh after you upload it.  Unreal. The interface is super easy to use.  I work  at a sporting goods store in Halifax and we set up the older crowd with this app all the time.  
Probably my fav function is seeing the people in your areas recent runs and cycles.  A lot of people I train with post theirs to the public so it kinda gets competitive. 

Basically if you want to either increase your level of fitness or maintain what you've got, the Polar Flow app can get you there.
