## What is Polar Team?

** Polar Team is ranked among the top 10 Health and Fitness apps in 18 countries!

Polar Team allows coaches and trainers of any indoor sports team – basketball, ice hockey, indoor tennis, volleyball and more – to see exactly how hard each team member is working. This allows you to coach each of them individually, in real time. It also provides information to see who is tiring, who needs to work on their fitness, and who may have energy left in the tank.

To coach with Polar Team, you’ll need an iPad and a compatible Polar heart rate sensor or a sport watch for each player.* Follow the performance of your whole team or concentrate on one player at a time. Spot the differences and guide your players at once. Compare several players on screen in real time. Motivate your players by showing them their effort on the go during training. After the training Polar Team reveals objective data on your players’ performance and shares reports with your players and coaching staff. Use the data to plan your next session.

### 1/5 — Less features, less useful.

*2025-06-18, version 1.11.0*

Polar has removed features from this app over the years and made it less and less usable. There needs to be a solution like this app for small businesses that isn’t $$$ / month.

### 2/5 — Clunky App

*2022-08-30*

Great if you only have one or two classes. Can only make two rosters. Can’t do a batch entry from excel or sheets. Emailing reports to coaches and participants is glitchy.

### 2/5 — Australian Para Swimming Team

*2022-02-07, version 1.9.2*

The new Verity’s are nice and compact and easy to use. Consistency in readings is still an issue but trying to work through it. Software could be more user friendly.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-05-07, version 1.8.5*

I created a hole entire team! It is awesome

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2018-11-14, version 1.4*

Polar, the lack of communication regarding update changes was incredibly disappointing.

### 1/5 — Discontinued external projection is an Update?

*2018-09-21, version 1.3*

I coach a youth hockey club and was surprised during our first session the external projection feature was no longer supported. Our club can’t afford displaying services.Players and coaching staff can’t afford the update and my training services and access to gym is already a free resource to this players. Very disappointed in squeezing those whom have purchased your equipment.

### 1/5 — One useful tool taken away

*2018-07-17, version 1.3*

No AirPlay......but why?

### 1/5 — New Update is screwing me

*2018-06-27, version 1.3*

My iPad just updated to the new version(1.3) yesterday. I have tailored cardiovascular workouts that require my athletes to see their % max heart rate but now I can’t display it on an external monitor for them to see. We don’t have a big enough budget for your bogus charge. Thank you for that....

### 5/5 — Best feature lost

*2018-05-16, version 1.3*

Bought a set of monitors for students to observe personal data, understand concepts, track performance, etc. The external screen mirroring has been removed, so now I have a whole class squashed around an iPad screen and an unused projector and screen in my gym. Purchase now almost pointless.

### 1/5 — Greedy!

*2018-04-24, version 1.3*

I have just wasted $1000+ buying 10 polar OH1 Sensors for my junior (non paying) team and then discovered that Polar had turned off screen mirroring on this App. Will never use/trust Polar again!
