### 2/5 — Grosses lacunes

*2026-06-11*

Dommage de grosses lacunes. Pas de curseurs sur la courbes sommeil pour voir les heures de réveils. Pas bon plus de carte GPS des exercices outdoor pour voir son parcours.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-05-26, version 4.0.2*

The app is not very useful.

### 4/5 — Conexões

*2026-05-10*

O app é excelente mas precisa de muitos apps diferentes para funcionar, captura poucas informações do Garmin Connect e falta integrar os dados de alimentação!

### 2/5 — Inferior App

*2026-04-29, version 3.0.78*

Data is inaccurate and features are inferior to that of competitors such as Bevel. Regret buying a year subscription

### 3/5 — Great bones, needs a UI overhaul

*2026-04-16, version 3.0.78*

Really like what’s there but it needs a significant UI overhaul. The photos in the background are distracting, too many taps to get where I need. Would like to see more AI where it scans my data and lets me ask questions.

### 3/5 — Poor Apple Health integration

*2026-03-25, version 3.0.78*

I really wanted to like this app, but it would only sync data from 2024. I have tones of data in the Apple Health app but after multiple attempts to sync I still only see health data, workouts, etc up to November 2024.

### 2/5 — Useless

*2026-03-05, version 3.0.76*

You can link one device, the next one costs a subscription.
Use Bevel instead, Sonar is a joke.

### 3/5 — Sehr gute Übersicht, Einbindung von Strava mangelhaft

*2026-01-22*

Ansich eine gute und sehr übersichtliche App.
Besonders positiv hervorzuheben ist die übersichtliche Darstellung des Stresslevels sowie die zentrale Bündelung aller relevanten Informationen an einem Ort. Die Einbindung von Apple Health funktioniert zuverlässig und problemlos.

Leider ist die Integration von Strava deutlich verbesserungswürdig. Workouts lassen sich nicht im Detail anzeigen – die App versucht zwar zu laden, die Seite bleibt jedoch leer. Da ich den Großteil meiner Aktivitäten über Strava tracke, ist die App in ihrem aktuellen Zustand für mich leider nicht nutzbar.

### 4/5 — Overall a great App

*2025-12-27, version 3.0.71*

I came to this hoping that it would sync all my health and fitness data between what was on my Apple Health and now my Garmin watch. But unfortunately it looks like you can’t just import historical data from Apple Health then turn the link off and this causes the data to be removed. But I have come back day later as there is nothing all this app on the market.

### 2/5 — Stay away

*2025-12-26, version 3.0.71*

The app itself is fine (not great, but okay - the screen shots in their promos over promise though), but the business practice is shady at best. Highly recommend avoiding this, as getting any support or customer service was next to impossible. Highly unsatisfied, and $50 poorer.

### 3/5 — No transparent pricing

*2025-12-24, version 3.0.71*

The app costs $50 per year. Sonar is not transparent with the price on the app store or their website. You have to download the app and sign up to find out the cost. I deleted the app due to the cost.

### 3/5 — It's OK?

*2025-11-28*

I've been using this app along with four others for the past six months or so. I love the idea of being able to choose how to sync and show the data from different sources. However outside of that, the presentation of data is a mess. It's missing a lot of data points that are present in its competitors. This is despite the fact that it's just as pricey as those competitors. I get where this is going and it may have potential. Adding features like journaling and food tracking may or may not help. Journaling would be the one I would most like to see personally.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App is broken, still.

*2026-08-02*

Take it easy is all the sonar app ever says to me. Today. “Looks like you’re primed to take it easy.” Livity: Go train. Go long today. Athlytic: Recovery 100%.  Bevel: Excellent Recovery! Optimal training day.” Sonar is for people that are over 80 years old with a bad back and with two new knees and a new hip. Every last day: take it easy. Easy easy easy.   Really every day take it easy! It’s been this was forever. Fix the app once and for all.  Why I haven’t deleted this app is beyond me. At 67, off to do heavy deadlifts and then light squats.

### 1/5 — Expensive and Begging

*2026-06-07, version 4.0.3*

This is ridiculously expensive. If you don’t pay you get interrupted with a begging screen when you do almost anything. Icky. A bad experience or a stupid price: you choose.

### 1/5 — It’s not free

*2026-04-14, version 3.0.78*

It asks you to sign up and then offers 1 month free only if you add your credit card. Please why try and fool people. Now I’ve deleted the app but I’m still going to get spam email from you.  Grrrrrrrre

### 1/5 — Kombi Apple Watch / Garmin fenix

*2026-03-26*

Ich habe eine Apple Watch Ultra und eine Garmin fenix 8. Ich wechsle die Uhren alle paar Wochen mal durch. Leider werden Daten wie Erholung und Belastung bei diesen Uhren völlig unterschiedlich interpretiert so dass die App in der jetzigen Form für mich nicht sinnvoll nutzbar ist.
Habe das vor Monaten dem Support mitgeteilt. Das Problem wurde auch anerkannt, passiert ist aber bis heute nichts. Daher werde ich mein Abo nicht verlängern.

**Developer response:** Hallo BertIM – vielen Dank für dein kontinuierliches Feedback. Wir haben kürzlich die vollständige deutsche Lokalisierung eingeführt und arbeiten weiterhin daran, die Kompatibilität und Fehlerbehebung zu verbessern, unter anderem für Garmin-Geräte und unsere Trainingsdiagramme. Falls dir weitere Probleme auffallen oder du Ideen für neue Funktionen hast, melde dich gern unter support@sonarhealth.co. Wir schätzen dein Feedback sehr und freuen uns, dass du Teil der Sonar-Community bist!

### 1/5 — Low confidence in data, buggy complications

*2026-03-25*

Sonar is taking raw data and replacing it with their own within the app. For example, my Strava run today shows an average HR of 144. Sonar shows an average HR to be 129. It also changed my average pace from 16:47 to 19:39. 

In fact, I’m noticing it’s getting my HR data wrong in general. Showing lower than actual HRR, incorrect maximum and minimum HRs, etc. It also shows incorrect HR zones for my workouts in general. As an example, I did a 20 minute walk/run interval and it’s only showing HR data for 3 minutes and 23 seconds. But in Strava, where it was recorded, I have HR data for my entire workout. I thought this would be a good place to aggregate and interpret my fitness data but it seems unreliable at best. 

Apple Watch complications are buggy as well. My HRV delays updates for 24 hours and sometimes all four Sonar complications are just blank. They show up in widgets and the app but the Apple Watch integration is definitely lagging.

I like the idea of choosing what data I see in the app. But I hate that it randomly changes my range from month to week in the chart area. What I want is monthly charts, weekly trends, then daily goals. It keeps reverting back to weekly charts. I don’t need weekly data in charts and trends. It’s redundant.

### 1/5 — Just do something

*2026-02-25, version 3.0.76*

You know that meme of the guy holding a stick and pointing it to the ground? And it says,  “Do Something.” Well that’s me with sonar. Just do something. Anything. Bevel and Athlytic and now Livity continue to advance their apps while sonar doesn’t do anything. Tell me again why I’m a paid subscriber to sonar?

### 1/5 — Sadly not very good!!

*2026-02-16, version 3.0.76*

Downloaded this to see if it provided better health and fitness stats but it doesn’t. It shows the information which is already available in the Apple health and Activity Apps but just shows it in a different way. It does bring the information together and makes it a little easier to find but for £40pa it’s really not worth it.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2026-01-03, version 3.0.71*

Very expensive app providing nothing more than what is provided by free by other suppliers.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2025-12-20, version 3.0.70*

For apple it's free for garmin it's paid. I have garmin data in connect for free...

### 1/5 — Sync Data Issues

*2025-11-01, version 3.0.60*

Why is some sleep data not being synced? Had to force a sync with Apple Health and even then still showed zero for some days while other apps sync same data from same source just fine. Might need to reevaluate what fields and how you pull data from Apple.

### 5/5 — New Layout

*2026-05-08, version 4.0.1*

Very impressed with the new layout. Very pleasing to the eye . AI is also very responsive and responsive and clean. Good job

### 5/5 — Outstanding App and customer service

*2026-05-06, version 4.0.1*

I spent weeks looking for a great health app that works across iOS and Android and Sonar is the perfect solution. Syncs with most data types and the new AI insights are world class. Customer support also brilliant.

### 5/5 — Beste Gesundheitsapp

*2026-05-06*

Endlich eine App, die es geschafft hat, mehrere Fitnessgeräte und Plattformen erfolgreich zu verbinden und den Nutzern selbst die Entscheidung über die Priorisierung überlässt. Es funktioniert sogar schnell und zuverlässig. Das letzte Update hat sogar optisch einen großen Sprung nach oben gemacht. Wünschenswert wäre der Ausbau der Sparte „Trainingsbelastung“ durch Trainingsbalance, Trainingsempfehlungen. Eine iPad Version wäre ideal für eine bessere Lesbarkeit bei umfassenden Analysen.

### 5/5 — Highly Recommend

*2026-04-01*

I’ve been using Sonar for about two years now. I had posted on a social media site asking for recommendations on tracking app for my Apple Watch because I hate how all my stats were scattered across different apps and was recommended Sonar. It’s been exactly what I was looking for to be able to see all my stats in one place and at a quick glance. Customer service is also amazing, I was recently getting an error message when trying to review my previous days stats, I reached out to support who responded in only a couple hours and have been giving me updates throughout the day.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-19*

Provides all the tracking data I need. Gets it from multiple sources.  Had a question about some data and I received very helpful feedback and guidance quickly.  Much better than the default Apple apps and on par with the WHOOP app I have been using.

### 5/5 — Data without the confusion

*2026-01-03, version 3.0.71*

I’ve used every device and app under the sun and this app owns them all. Just perfect presentation and personalization.

### 5/5 — Incredible health app

*2025-12-26*

I had this running for months, checking it against my whoop data. Now I’m confident I can focus on this, Peloton, and Apple Watch data, and don’t need to pay the whoop subscription anymore. The data and UX is an absolute pleasure to navigate through. Keep it up, I love it and have recommended it to everyone

### 5/5 — One of the best options out there

*2025-11-30, version 3.0.67*

I tried whoop and realised that it is not going to be the one for me. I came across Sonar to complement my wearables and I quickly realised that this is the best solution. 

It has a proper customer support team and they are quite helpful.

My particular thanks to Anne for helping me to become a loyal customer of Sonar

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-11-26*

Très bonne application, interface très claire et pure avec beaucoup de métrique !

### 5/5 — Consolidation Power!

*2025-11-22*

I’ve been using Sonar for a couple weeks now and love how I am able to see everything from all sources in one place. The app functionality and graphics are intuitive and clean, with a lot of good advice thrown in. Even though you can add multiple streams of info from numerous sites (i.e.: Strava, Apple Health, Training Peaks, etc) the app will not duplicate your data or workouts. There is also ways to prioritize sources if you want to. In the first week I did have an issue with some of my nutrition info from Cronometer not making it into Sonar. Their customer service and tech team followed up promptly, resolved the issue in a couple days, and followed up with me throughout the process to make sure their fixes worked. No chat bot involved LOL!
