## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money or refund allowance

*2019-07-15, version 1.0.3*

This looks like some college project that was incomplete.This app does not work whatsoever.

### 2/5 — Color zone don’t work

*2018-11-06, version 1.0.1*

The font is large, but the zones don't work.  The number doesn't change color to signify the different zone I set, which I why I purchased the app.

### 3/5 — So close

*2021-04-26, version 1.2.1*

This is so close to what I needed and wanted from an app! 
The fact that I can set zones and choose a target zone and get audio feedback is fantastic, hands down what I was looking for.
I had to deduct two stars, though: Primarly for needing to “write a workout” but not actually recording any workout data. This means I can’t use Strava or the workouts out concurrently which makes the app essentially useless if I want to actually track anything. 
If it can write data, I’d love for the app to be able to tell me total time in a given range. The American Heart Association recommends 150 minutes of moderate intensity (~50-70% of your max heart rate) exercise per week. How do I know I’m getting enough? An average HR is great, but it’s ultimately not what I want.

### 3/5 — Spinning class usage

*2019-01-19, version 1.0.1*

Easy to setup with zones and look clear on my watch, I will post an update after a little usage.   I like the simple approach blue under zone, green in zone and red above zone as per setup in your phone .

### 5/5 — Like to purchase rather than sign up

*2019-08-26, version 1.0.3*

Just purchased the app and wanted to say that I like purchasing an app outright like this one rather than signing up or having a subscription that you need to pay for forever to use.   Helps with my 74 year old eyes.  Now if there was only a way to toun that darn sound off!

Thanks for charging the $.99.

Thanking for charging?  That’s weird!

### 5/5 — Excellent for seniors

*2019-02-16, version 1.0.3*

All I wanted is a simple HR monitor app and am glad I’ve found it. No whistles and unwanted features. Start the app and that’s it. Numbers are large enough for a blind bat like me to read without my fourth eyes. .... KISS = Keep It “Simples” .... 👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Just like it says

*2018-10-03, version 1.0.1*

Simple. Not a lot of bells and whistles here. Just displays your heart rate at a size big enough for my old eyes to see.
