Great and eazy
The app is really easy. The alarm doesn’t start until you get into your zone and then you get alerted when you’re above and below. Its nice you don’t have to deal with alerts before you get to your zone. Im glad i got this
Funktioniert
Hab eine Pulswarnung fürs Ausdauertraining gesucht. Gerade installiert für iphone 14pro und apple watch 10. funktioniert. Was noch nützlich wäre sind unterschiedliche vibrationsmuster für drüber und drunter (zb nur kurz kurz kurz, lang lang lang - damit man es direkt erkennt ohne auf die uhr zu schauen - gerade wenn man in einem sehr engen bereich trainiert)

Doesn’t work anymore
Use to work in November, but now it always shows 0 for the pulse
Important - Only Works When App Is Open On Watch
This app only works if it’s open on your watch.
I prefer something that works in the background automatically.
Other than that, it works great!

Absolut empfehlenswert!
Die Pulsalarm App hat mir nach einer schweren Herzerkrankung möglich gemacht, dass ich mich traue, mich wieder ganz normal zu bewegen, weil ich dann sicher sein konnte, dass ich rechtzeitig erfahre, wenn mein Puls zu langsam oder zu schnell ist.
A gem for heart rate notifications on the watch
This app may not have been updated in years, but it still works flawlessly—and honestly, it’s exactly what I need. It’s a simple, no-frills heart rate alert app for Apple Watch that does one thing very well: it notifies me when my heart rate exceeds a threshold I set.
That might sound basic, but for me, it’s potentially life-saving. I use it while working in the yard, where sweating doesn’t cool you down like it should. My heart rate is the best early warning sign I have for overexertion, and this app helps me recognize heat exhaustion before it’s too late.
I love that I can launch it right from the watch with a simple tap, or use it alongside my go-to fitness tracker. It even claims not to collect user data, which is a rare and appreciated touch.
Apps like this—lightweight, focused, and respectful of your privacy—are rare. It’s a hidden gem, and I hope it keeps working for years to come.

Great app for fat burning zones etc.
Been looking for an app like this for a while. Vibrates when your HR is outside your preferred exercise zones.
Perfekt!
Genau das habe ich gesucht!
Bin leider keine Läuferin, aber ich suchte eine Möglichkeit meinen Puls zu überwachen ohne dauernd auf das Display zu schauen.
Vielen Dank dafür und für den fairen Preis und kein Abo und sofortige Antwort bei meiner Nachfrage!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟😄

Wanted to live this….
…but its functionality is severely limited as it has to be the active app on the watch to give sound/vibration when out of HR range. That is, with any fitness app running (Apple Fitness, MapMyRide, Strava, etc) and the active app, this app does not give alarms of any kind. That’s the whole point of the app. I am running latest iOS and watchOS on series 9 watch

If you do not receive an alarm, then you probably forgot to assign the access rights during installation. Write to me at info@pulsalarm.de and we will sort out the problem.
It’s a lifesaver!
I can’t vouch for Pulsalarm as a workout app, but as a medical HR monitor it’s amazing!
I suffer from POTS so my heart rate is erratic and jumps really high. If I don’t keep track of it I’ll end up very ill. But with Pulsalarm I can set my HR upper threshold to alert me when I need to rest and pace myself. It’s an absolute game changer for me. It’s also the only subscription-free HR alarm app that I’ve seen that actually works.
You can set your alarm to as low as 30bpm or as high as 220bpm. If you have a medical condition (POTS, Long Covid etc..) it will definitely help you know when to rest and avoid the ill effects of a crash. IMO it’s a lifesaver.

Tut, was es soll, aber etwas umständlich
Vorab: Der Pulsalarm funktioniert. Um die Benutzung etwas bequemer zu machen, wollte ich die App in den Smart Stapel von WatchOS 10 legen, aber das geht leider nicht. Also habe ich einen Kurzbefehl angelegt, was aber beim Starten immer noch einen zusätzlichen Schritt (Kurzbefehl ausführen) benötigt.
Super wäre es, wenn die Pulsalarm-Session direkt über Kurzbefehle gestartet und gestoppt werden könnte, so wie Trainings. Dann könnte ich mein Training zusammen mit Pulsalarm in einem Schritt starten.

Very nice, but 1 small feature missing
When using the modular watch face, I can add “complications” that are nothing more than an icon to open the workout app, the heart rate app, etc. Can we get a similar dead simple “complication” that just opens the Pulsalarm app? I want a quicker/easier way to start and stop it.
One more problem I keep running into is a periodic “Info: Session Extended” popup in my watch when it’s running. It makes the watch buzz and is very distracting when I try to keep PulsAlarm enabled all day (which is what I want it for).
Thanks!

Good but could be better
I’m a huge fan of this app, it’s helped a lot because I like to train off of heart rate ranges.
The only features I would enjoy would be to have custom presets. I know it comes with a few given ranges which you can apply quickly, but it would be nice if you could save your own.
Or also if you could type in a given number instead of being limited to using the +/- symbols.

Greatness
This is such a simple but effective app. Why Apple does not provide a pulse alarm during workouts is beyond me. I use this on all my runs and no longer have to keepChecking my watch to make sure I’m in zone 2. My only criticism is that when listening to a podcast or music, the heart rate alarm is too loud. I think this app lowers the sound of music/ podcasts and then when you out of your selected zone it blasts into your ears. Because of this, I no longer listen to podcasts while I run :(
Still 5 stars though.

Great for new and conscious runners!
I re-started my fitness plan and this is a great tool to maintain optimal heart rate / pulse levels during my workouts. I recommend this to anyone who is starting or anyone that due to a condition need to have an alarm to be mindful of the heart rate. Good luck on all your workouts! : )
Aerobic training??
Was 60 before I learned about aerobic training from a podcast with Dr Maffetone. Used to just run at a brisk pace — 170+ HR— and wondered why my pace never improved. Now I know why and have been using the App for a month now to build up a base and keep me in the desired HR zone. Had looked at a bunch of different HR monitors, but this seemed to be just right for what I needed. Works well. Would like to change the alert sound though.

Perfect
Great little app. I was searching for a way to get HR notifications while running without checking my Apple Watch all the time. Stumbled across this app. Very easy to use, clean and simple interface and notification system. Exactly what I needed for HR training!
Tut genau was sie soll!
Perfekt um, ohne auf die Watch oder das iPhone zu schauen, zu erfahren ob man über seinem eingestellten Pulslimit trainiert.
Tipp für die nächste Version: Das die Info kommt „Session verlängert“ ist noch okay, aber warum meine Watch dazu eine Art Dauervibration haben muss und ich weder das eine, also die Sessionzeit, noch das andere, Vibrieren, abstellen oder einstellen ist nicht so toll. Wäre cool, wenn man das einstellen könnte.

Prima Hilfe
Die App funktioniert und gibt mir eine gute Sicherheit beim
Ausüben meiner Sportart.
Toll fand ich den Support nach einer Fragestellung.
Eine sofortige Rückmeldung am 2. Weihnachtsfeiertag !!! - findet man wohl eher selten !
