Need the option to edit the time. I want the ability to edit where the suana and cold plunge tab appear on my watch. I don’t hot tub or do hyperbolic chambers so I shouldn’t have to scroll past those every time. Otherwise, good job ### 4/5 — Took a minute, but great! *2026-01-26, version 1.17* A little time has past since downloading this app. The first time I attempted to use it I was disappointed. Apparently, it didn’t load correctly. Frank was real helpful and prompt in trouble shooting and providing solutions. I was finally able to try the app again today, and it worked beautifully. ### 5/5 — Fixed the gap in Apple workout *2025-10-31, version 1.12* Works great for my steam sauna tracking. The app uploads the Apple Watch Heart Rate data to Apple Health as a workout so I can track my output. Excellent support from developer. Its much more accurate than other apps, as the watch heart rate data helps you tune time and temp to get maximum steam room or sauna benefit. I use this with a Thermasol steam room, which does not have a thermometer in the control panel. ### 5/5 — Perfect. Just what I wanted *2025-10-14, version 1.12* I wanted an app that would track my sauna use with HR and calories burned just like any other workout on my iwatch. The app doesn’t all. And it logs the results to multiple apps on my phone health, Oura and more. Happy with my purchase and author replies to emails within hours which is a bonus. Top app for sauna fans. ### 5/5 — Perfect app *2025-10-09* The app is exactly what I was looking for and the support was prompt and precise. Great app!! **Developer response:** Thank you! Appreciate you downloading Sauna Tracker! ### 5/5 — Amazing app to track Sauna sessions *2025-08-04* Incredible was this fresh app offers already from the get go. Also absolute great support from the Developer. Looking forward to the upcoming releases :) **Developer response:** Thank you for kind words! We’re working hard and listening to feedback to make Sauna Tracker the best app possible. ### 5/5 — Excellent Sauna Tracker *2025-02-11, version 1.01* If you’re seeking a user-friendly and effective solution to monitor your sauna time, this app is the perfect fit. Not only is it highly functional, but the developer is incredibly responsive and receptive to suggestions. Don’t delay; seize this opportunity and download the app. Cost shouldn’t be a concern; it’s a one-time purchase, eliminating the risk of subscription charges. ### 5/5 — Great app, needs a tweak for Apple Watch. *2025-01-29* UPDATE!! Developer is pushing out an update with the fix. Awesome response time! Thank you!! Enjoying using the app. It Fills a void from the Apple Watch not having a sauna function. There is one issue, when you start/stop a sauna session all data is captured and accurate. A problem is, if you do not close the app on your Apple Watch, the app keeps running a session and collect false data. I had a session of 5 hours captured and it messed up my daily calorie burn on the Apple Watch. The app should not continue to run if a session isn’t initiated. Please take a look at this. **Developer response:** Hey, thanks for downloading Sauna Tracker, I appreciate the support. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we found the issue and it’s fixed in the next version. We will be releasing it this week! ### 4/5 — Great app, needs a tweak for Apple Watch. *2025-01-26* Enjoying using the app. It Fills a void from the Apple Watch not having a sauna function.

The timers are super easy to set, and I love how it keeps track of all my sessions so I can see my progress over time. It even syncs with HealthKit, which is awesome for keeping all my wellness data in one place. If you’re serious about your recovery and performance, this app is a must-have! **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words, can’t wait to ship the new version soon. Be on the look out! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to work *2026-04-02, version 1.18* I used to enjoy this app but lately it does not accurately track my sessions. During a session, while in the app, after I hit start, it does not show anytime elapsing on the duration. When I exit the app, I can see a workout widget on my Apple Watch screen counting down. When I return back to the app, it still shows no time clocking. No sessions are Tracking in fitness. ### 1/5 — Not as expected *2026-03-05, version 1.18* Downloaded the app due to recommendations and price. Unfortunately it will not link to apple health and did not record my Apple Watch session and without heart rate and cals. Hopefully a bug! ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-02-01, version 1.17* Pretty charts and animations in the app but watch app is not good. The whole thing looks like it was vibe coded in a weekend. Many other better tracking apps ### 1/5 — Only if you have Apple Watch *2025-04-13, version 1.07* I wish it was more clear before I purchased this app that you must have an Apple Watch for it to work. Supper disappointing, also would suggest working with other smart monitors like Ultrahuman etc. if possible. ### 1/5 — No data, can’t add anything *2025-02-25, version 1.03* I was hoping to record my sauna session. And was super excited to see that there was an app. However when I went to open it I couldn’t add or do anything with the app after paying the $5.99.. not worth it if it’s not fixed. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-01-25, version 1.0* I installed this on my iOS phone, and my watch, but it doesn’t seem to work. It just no activation buttons no edit buttons nothing it just stares at you. You can’t type any information in ### 2/5 — Used to work fine *2026-06-10, version 1.20* I use this app to track my sauna sessions. Now you start the timer on your watch and nothing happens Hope they fix this issue soon ### 2/5 — Beware- you cannot wear the Apple watch in sauna and the app only works in foreground *2025-08-13, version 1.11* I bought the app before I checked the Apple official recommendation- The Apple Watch will be damaged during sauna use ! 55 C is the top temp it can withstand and even at wrist level in a dry sauna you can easily measure 60 C! If you are tracking with the iPhone and start a session, then switch to a different app, the timer will pause so unless you keep it in the foreground it does not work! You can set up a custom training activity in the Apple Health app and start it yourself- that will record and keep track of sessions equally well…. ### 2/5 — No worth $6 *2025-02-17, version 1.02* Updated it today and lost all the information. It also is basically a stopwatch because it’s not tracking my calories or heart. ### 3/5 — Need widget on watch *2026-07-17, version 1.20* Please include a widget for watch face, for the cost of all I don’t want to have to scroll through every time to find the app, there should be a widget to click on for your watch face. Thank you ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My Sauna ritual is not complete without t this App. *2026-03-16, version 1.18* A Wonderful tool to know very important metrics including Temperature and Heart rate during Sauna. Also keeps track of Sauna usage and reminders. A perfect complement to Sauna. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-02, version 1.18* This app has been great for tracking my sauna usage.. it helps me track both the time as well as my heart rate… it’s also great as it saves your session to apple health so you can keep track your sessions as part of your overall health monitoring ### 5/5 — Best one for sauna and hot tub and steam room *2026-02-24, version 1.18* I was looking for an app that would allow me to track my time in the sauna and the hot tub and the steam room in the same place for duration and tracking with my workouts and this seems to be the only thing out there that does all of them without an “other” situation. The UI is also really appealing and soothing, which is nice since that’s the whole point of all of this - health and improved relaxation. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-02-14, version 1.17* Smooth and polished all with all the features needed to make tracking Sauna use seamless. The creator is very responsive to email and excited to hear about future updates. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-02-03, version 1.17* Great UI and very user friendly. Give it a shot. You won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — Great simple logger *2026-01-04, version 1.16* Great companion for sauna sessions ### 5/5 — Amazing updates just keep coming! *2025-12-20, version 1.16* As I’ve expanded my health workouts, so too has this app! It’s great to be able to capture both hot and cold sessions right after each other when working on contrast therapy. The latest update also offers a wide range of improved data points that can land in your health tracker. The app developer is super responsive too with listening to new ideas. Enjoying this app daily! ### 5/5 — Awesome Update *2025-11-17, version 1.13* 🌟 Fantastic New Features! 🌟 I am absolutely thrilled with this update! The addition of Cold Plunge, Cold Shower, and Hot Tub tracking is a huge win for holistic recovery. The new Live Activities feature is incredibly convenient, allowing seamless session tracking without having to keep the app open. I also love the Smart Notifications for hydration and goal tracking—they're the perfect, intelligent nudge to stay motivated. Setting New Weekly and Custom Session Goals gives me so much more control, and the Cold Plunge Benefit Zones Chart is a brilliant, easy-to-understand addition to the dashboard. Plus, the redesigned Apple Watch app sounds like it will make starting a session smoother than ever. Five stars—the developers are clearly focused on enhancing the user experience! ### 5/5 — App review *2025-11-15, version 1.12* We bought this sauna app to do the obvious which is to track our sauna sessions. We absolutely love the features of the software as it not only tracks your heart rate, but informs you of what detoxification zone you hit during your sauna session. It gives a very nice report at the end the details all of the data points from your sauna session. It also gives a nice report on your daily sauna minutes, the weekly calories burned and your average heart rate. It also has an app for my Apple Watch so I can start my session from my watch. All of the data is transferred to my phone. The sauna session also gets recorded as an exercise in your activity app in Apple health. As I said earlier, we absolutely love this app so happy that we bought it. Worth every penny! ### 5/5 — New Update is great *2025-11-07, version 1.12* The new update is great, I love the design and it makes it much easier to start my sessions. Dashboard is much more readable now too! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
