User reviews

Disappointing

Polar is such a powerhouse name in fitness; however, the app and ESPECIALLY the online user interface are not user friendly! My app has crashed nearly 10 times today while trying to sync. Some watches fail to sync and then fail to connect at all from that point on. It is difficult to create classes and manage the data. Polar, you can do much better than this!

Disappointed

The new update looks nice as it looks updated and sleek. Unfortunately, more than half of our heart rate monitors no longer sync with the app. It’s very frustrating as we use our heart rate monitors weekly for our PE class and now no longer able to use. We have spent thousands of dollars purchasing our sensors and straps and hope an update comes soon so we can fix this problem.

New update - big miss

The new update was needed. Unfortunately they changed features that were an imperative part to our PE classes. You can no longer see the class averages while the program is running. Students timers in grid view don’t show past the target goal so the competitive aspect drastically changes. The coloring/contrast makes it a lot tougher to see when projected in the gym. Is someone is in the gray it’s impossible to see who due to the white lettering. They also only alphabetize by first name which is opposite of grade book and roster set ups.

Update This App
