### 2/5 — Very Slow

*2026-08-24, version 3.3.3*

App has a hard time retrieving data. Not useful.

### 3/5 — お気に入りですが、ここが残念

*2026-08-19*

毎日チェックしています。いろんな分野で詳しく客観的に知る事が出来るのでありがたいです。以下は不満点①ハイキングやジョギングで、AIに聞くを実行しても回答が得られません。アウトドアは記録が困難なんですかね。ここも確認したいポイントなのに残念です②私は勤務がシフト制なので週末はトレーニングに励む事はほぼ無いのですが週末に向かって‥な活動をしましょうとアドバイスくれるのが残念

### 4/5 — 毎日チェックしています

*2026-08-17*

Applewatchで睡眠の状態を測っているので、確認のためこちらのアプリを使っています！Pro版にしています。
ストレス状態もリアルタイムで確認できるので、今自分の体がどういう状態なのか知れるのが面白いです。全体的にデザインがふんわりとしており、キャラクターの表情などとても癒されます🥰
ただし、メニューの名称の問題なのか？、知りたい情報にたどり着きにくいです……日本語版だけなのかもしれませんが。
例えば、過去の１週間のストレス推移を知りたい場合に、確認しにいくのに一瞬迷いがあります。多分、「トレンド」というメニュー名称と、実際の内容が繋がりにくいのだと思います。さらに、トレンド内の週間/月間/年で「日々の傾向」セクションから過去の傾向を追えますが、特定の日の時間ごとの内訳を知りたい場合に、その日付からではなく、下のほうにスクロールして「全てのデータ」から日付を選択して進む必要があり、ここも直感的ではないと感じました。せっかくグラフで可視化しているので、グラフ内から詳細を確認できるようになったほうがよいと思います。
あと、睡眠やフィットネスなどの過去の傾向確認は「アクション」メニューから見れますが、これも迷います…。「アクション」という名称の問題なのかもしれません。また、ストレスレポートは「トレンド」なのに、睡眠やフィットネスは「アクション」からというのも迷いポイントかもしれません。(このアプリのメイン機能がストレスチェックというのもあるのでしょうか)
ただ、このようなアプリで日々の傾向をチェックしているユーザーは、ストレスの状態をただ確認するだけでなく、その原因や傾向を知り、分析したいと思います。それがわかるのが睡眠状態や、フィットネス、他日光浴や歩数などの様々な情報だと思います。それらの情報がもう少し直感的にリンクすると、より使い勝手がよいものになるのかなと思いました！
すみません、まだ使い始めて１週間程度なので、そもそも使いこなせていないかもしれない状態でのレビューとなります。乱文失礼いたしました。

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-08-07, version 3.3.1*

App said I was doing really good but I was at work stressed as hell

### 4/5 — Accessibility

*2026-08-06, version 3.3.1*

One thing that is driving me nuts is the accessibility of the colors of font and size being used. Light colors that are pastel ish and hard to read. Tiny, tiny font size on top of it.

### 1/5 — Stops working correctly

*2026-08-05, version 3.3.0*

I loved this app originally but now it takes measurements mostly while moving, does not update properly and is not working as it should. It is supposed to take measurements while you are relaxed and it never does. It takes it while I am moving, or even working out and now all the stats I have been tracking are not accurate. This is NOT WORTH the money considering Apple health gives you more accurate readings and is free. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Nope!

*2026-08-05, version 3.3.0*

The idea of this app is really good, but it drained my watch battery and the readings are not that accurate. I wish it could tell the difference  if I was sleeping or walking

### 3/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-08-04, version 3.3.0*

Inaccurate but an interesting idea which could use improvement. The app does not accurately calculate hrv using its own formula. App will have random spikes of bad data, which do not match the minute before or after, and do not match iOS’s figures. Once the developers correct their algorithm, this app could be useful.

### 2/5 — Love the app but buggy.

*2026-08-03, version 3.3.0*

This is a great app. It does help you be mindful. Unfortunately, if you use the AI portion it locks up and you cannot read the whole thing without closing and having to restart the whole app, which sometimes allows you to scroll quickly to the bottom to finish reading the summary.

### 2/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2026-08-02, version 3.3.0*

Pour ma part, l’application a fonctionné la première journée. Par la suite, aucune donnée pour évaluer mon stress…

### 1/5 — Bs

*2026-08-01, version 3.3.0*

When I’m over the top stressed it says I’m not

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2026-07-30, version 3.3.0*

Didn’t feel like the tool is accurate.

### 1/5 — Mauvais achat

*2026-08-23, version 3.3.3*

L’application me donne comme message que ma montre n’est pas appariée. Foutaise.
Très déçu d’avoir fait l’achat

### 1/5 — SCAM!!!

*2026-08-23, version 3.3.2*

Warning…not a free trial! I was immediately charged, money taken from my account within seconds of clicking on the 7 day free trial. DO NOT USE THIS APP!!!

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-08-21, version 3.3.2*

This app is so inaccurate. When I’m experiencing stress it states I’m calm and happy When I’m completely happy it says I’m stressed and need to be careful. I have a seizure disorder and thoughts this could be helpful but it’s a complete waste of money

### 1/5 — $60.00 for nothing can’t cancel!

*2026-08-19, version 3.3.2*

Takes $60.00 a month from account - cannot cancel-the only option to cancel is to pay to cancel.  Useless!

### 1/5 — Always Undefined

*2026-08-16, version 3.3.2*

Constantly lets me know my HRV levels are undefined, yet then shows my stress level is normal. Seems like junk science to me. Gonna try to figure out how to get my money back. This should be fun.

### 1/5 — You’re Apple Watch is more relevant

*2026-08-13, version 3.3.2*

All it does is pull data from the Apple Health app, but then the HRV ratings are about 1/2 of what the watch recorded. Not accurate at all.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever!

*2026-08-11, version 3.3.1*

I am going through one of the most stressful times in my life. Panic attacks almost daily I thought this app would help me gain insight into when and what triggers. Absolutely the opposite, it says I’m doing great. This app assesses absolutely nothing!

### 1/5 — Not working and money grabbing.

*2026-08-11, version 3.3.1*

This app is inaccurate - would send notifications even when my Watch was on the charging doc. Not only that, they do not notify you about a subscription renewal - i downloaded the app over a year a go to test it out and paid for a year subscription. Usually, all other apps send an e-mail to inform it’s coming up to renewal time. This did not happen here. I got charged and raised a case with Apple within minutes of receiving the  receipt e-mail. That got declined TWICE and was told it’s not eligible for refund, even though I have not used the app in months nor meant to repurchase. Should this be a store purchase, you’d have 2 weeks to return - really cheeky of them, especially that no notification was given prior to charge.

### 1/5 — 정확도가 의심됨

*2026-08-10*

기분 좋을 땐 과부하로 뜨다가 스트레스가 절정일 땐 또 지나치게 정상임 그러다 왜이렇게 조용하나 싶어 어플 들어가보면 동기화 다시 시키라하고 동기화 시켜놓으면 또 어느순간 끊겨있고; 뭐 워치랑 거리 좀 떨어질때마다 끊기는건지ㅜ 매일 동기화 다시 해주는게 제일 스트레스라 애플에 환불 요청 했더니 환불 요청도 안받아주네요 어쩌라고나보고ㅠ

### 1/5 — Not sure what it’s reading

*2026-08-09, version 3.3.1*

It keeps sending me alerts even when I’m not wearing my watch. So not sure if reading anything correctly.

### 5/5 — Excellent companion

*2026-08-19, version 3.3.2*

Excellent companion for notification, tracking and trend analysis.

### 5/5 — Great health meter

*2026-08-15, version 3.3.2*

Works great 
Helps me with stress and staying hydrated 
Love it

### 5/5 — Alfa

*2026-08-14, version 3.3.2*

I have just downloaded this and so far it looks great

### 5/5 — Please let us share with more then one person

*2026-08-10, version 3.3.1*

I like this app.. but I wish I could share with more than one person..  over all accurate reading..

### 5/5 — Technicality difficulties

*2026-08-08, version 3.3.1*

I wish the custom face watches worked. I’ll make it but it doesn’t show it once I set it to my default. And it doesn’t sync for a whole day sometimes.

### 5/5 — A Lifesaver for My AuDHD Dad Brain

*2026-08-04, version 3.3.0*

As a dad with both autism and ADHD, this watch has become a crucial early-warning system for my stress. I’ve been using it for about five months, and the real-time stress data helps me notice when I’m ramping up and actually put on the brakes before I crash. It doesn’t fix life, but it gives me a clear, objective signal that my nervous system is getting overloaded, which has been huge for preventing burnout.

### 5/5 — Brilliant pacing app

*2026-08-04, version 3.3.0*

I had major surgery last year and this was what helped me recover. A year on and I still use it for it’s brilliant sleep insights, pacing my day so I’m not going at 100 mph and it’s not for everyone but when I exercise I LOVE the little food equivalent icons that appear in the summary. Really makes me smile! Well thought out and great value!

### 5/5 — Hrv study

*2026-08-01, version 3.3.0*

I have been watching my hrv with this app and 1 other and I love this app. It has a suggested age that u are trending at and I like to try to get my bio age younger by keeping up with my health! This app is great for that and I feel like im learning healthy habits that I will use the rest of my life

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-29, version 3.3.0*

This app is great! Adorable little icons, makes keeping up with everything more fun and easy. It helps with anxiety, and I’m consistently drinking enough water and hitting my daily step goals using it! Helps keep me motivated. I love it.

### 5/5 — Valuable tool

*2026-07-27, version 3.3.0*

I’ve been using the app for the past 6 months approximately and as I’ve learned to use it while also observing enhancements being incorporated, has gradually become a valuable source of insights paired with my Apple Health app. 

For the developers: I wish there was a feature to reflect meal times (similar to workouts) so the data can be adjusted as those can temporarily create a spike for a few minutes and falsely lower HRV/raise RHR changing overall stress status. This would ensure a more accurate picture.
