Superb app
I have been using SweetBeat for many years now. I tried other HRV apps along the way but I find SweetBeat superior in almost every way. Nothing gimmicky just good solid - and extensive - data. I love that the focus is data - everything I could wish for including HF, LF, and even VLF (which adds another dimension). Also extras like respiration rate & heart accelerating and decelerating capacity. Beautiful graphics and fantastic support from SweetBeat if needed. Thank you for a really great app that has helped me enormously and made my life better.

The Best
I love this app, use it almost every day. It has so much data but thoughtfully broken out onto various screens so the amount of information is never overwhelming but still easily accessible. This app is a real service to the community.
Spitze!!
Zwei Dinge verstehe ich hier nicht!
1. Warum gibt es so gut wie keine Rezensionen? Ist diese App wirklich so unbekannt?
2. Die einzige Rezension, die ich hier gefunden habe, ist völlig unverständlicherweise auch noch schlecht.
Ich setze mich nun schon sehr lange mit dem Thema HRV Messung auseinander und habe doch wirklich, wenn wahrscheinlich auch nicht alle, aber so doch die meisten Apps im App Store zu diesem Thema ausprobiert. Und diese App spielt ganz vorne mit! Man muss lange suchen um eine App mit diesem Funktionsumfang und somit auch Auswertungsmöglichkeiten zu finden! Diese App hält locker mit der hoch gelobten Elite App mit. Und mit dem so genannten Goldstandard Kubios allemal!

Now working with 7th gen iPod touch
SweetBeatHRV has been a game changer in allowing me to manage/rebuild my functional level with my MCS. The amazing support team worked with the app until it worked on my 7th gen ipod. Such a treat. Love the updates, especially adding the real time . Many thanks for your hard work.
Really Disappointed
I have been using SweetBeat for almost a year and would have highly recommended. I have kept the older version on my phone as i wasn’t keen on the new changes. This morning when i went to take my readings the newer version had automatically uploaded and due to the oversizing issues not bring ironed out for iphone SE the app is no longer useable. Hugely disappointed. I have a mini ipad which the app is also useless. Avoid if you have these devices!

There’s a reason why this isn’t free
I have used most if not all of the available hrv apps and this is without doubt, in my opinion, head and shoulders above them all. Not only does it offer a user friendly interaction, it also provides more technical content for those that are interested. The people at SweetBeat are experts in this field and it’s apparent that they have invested a lot of time in researching this subject, as well a developing an algorithm that effectively presents very accurate usable data. I especially commend their artefact removal (ectopic beats) as this was always an issue for me in other apps. Absolutely well done team! Please continue your superb work! Ps I was offered a free copy of this app, but declined in favour of paying; it’s that good.

Upgrade is trash
Since I did the software upgrade that was recommended recently the app no longer functions. I cannot see any of my of hrv's and when I take a new reading it shows everything but the hrv.
Response from developer
Hello Wrenmaven, the issue is fixed in release 1.6.1. It was an issue when the user had IOS Dark mode enabled. That has been resolved now. Good luck!
Won’t pair, no response from company. Buyer beware.
Despite claims that this works with the Withings HR, it won’t pair with the watch. To make matters (much) worse, emails to Sweetbeat asking for assistance or a refund have thus far gone unanswered. I’ll keep trying to get my money back. Buyer beware!
Response from developer
For clinical grade realtime HRV calculations on SweetBeat you will need to use a supported heart rate monitor chest strap as stated in the app description. The Withings HR does not transmit RR intervals which is necessary for HRV calculations. The user does have the ability to download weight, steps, calories, etc. data from other devices such as Withings, FitBit and MapMyFitness for the correlation feature. The correlation feature will correlate the downloaded metrics with your HRV obtained from a supported heart rate monitor. The Apple app store issues the refunds, the developer can not. Please contact support@sweetwaterhrv.com.
Scammed
Almost nothing worked , app insisted I buy redundant hardware, the few charts that actually worked with my Apple watch were unreadable and a joke. Would have enjoyed lighting $10 on fire more....

For clinical grade realtime HRV calculations on SweetBeat you will need to use a supported heart rate monitor chest strap as stated in the app description. The iWatch uses a different type of technology, PPG, to obtain heart rate information and can not be used for measuring your HRV. SweetBeat will display historical heart rate data from iHealth/iWatch which were the graphs what you saw. Please contact support@sweetwaterhrv.com.
Great live monitoring for HRV and stress
I’ve been using a few HRV apps with polar chest strap for over a month now. I love SweetBeat for seeing live monitoring of several things at once including HR, HRV, stress. However, the recommendations it gives me after analyzing my data are totally different then how I feel or how my 4 other HRV apps analyze the data—all running at the exact same time. It also is the only one that says my parasympathetic system is active when my other apps say it’s severely not active at all (I have dysautonomia and am finding what works for my systems to have more PNS activity when needed than SNS activity, and I track and graph PEM for pacing with myalgic encephalomyelitis.) I would imagine those tracking fitness or managing stress, can also use accurate info about their ANS. I definitely wish I could turn off the “you should do x, y, or z today.” The “gas tank needle” graphic indicating ANS balance has been way off compared to my other apps running at same time. I love that it has a non-annoying HR alarm (a little whistle) but I wish it would continue to sound until the HR was back lower—Would love having option to fully customize HR zones and HR alarm (like keep alerting until HR is back under threshold.) Custom HR color zones would be extra great. I really need it to be iPad screen size. Thank you for taking my suggestions and for making this app.

Thank you for the great input! SweetWater has many clients that have CFS/ME. Please contact support@sweetwaterhrv.com we would like to discuss how you can utilize SweetBeat for tracking ME.
Great app and excellent support
I’ve used several devices to track HRV, including the Oura ring, Whoop etc. I still prefer this app over the others for deeper HRV metrics. Plus their support team is excellent and go out of their way to help with any questions.
So-so but has potential
I have been trying several different apps to monitor HRV for meditation and recovery. There is potential in this one, I especially like that you could get info on the LF/HF beats.
Still, the app is buggy. When scrolling through the information report, the app had much difficultly switching from one screen to the next.
Also, there is no instant RR heart rate graph, a wonderful and necessary feature if you are trying to use the app for biofeedback.
The breath pacer does not have any options to change the resonance pace (at least none that are obvious).
In short, I would say save your money on this one until it really competes with the other apps.

The best HRV for iOS
I have literally tried all the hrv monitors offered. This is by far the best one. Although it could be improved ascetically, it provides the most in-depth and meaningful information.
Excellent and reliable
One of the best in the market. Have been using it for years. I love the heart recovery feature no other app offers it and it’s a great fitness indicator. I highly recommend it.
Rip off
Bought the app only to find out that it requires a heart rate monitor unlike the Heart Rate app, which uses the phone’s camera. I want my money back!
Great hrv app.
Although sometimes buggy software, the support team is very responsive and will help find a workaround. I like the hrv for training, but find the stress calculation to have little to no correlation with my actual stress levels. I'm not sure that the correlation and food features are very reliable or provide any value to me, i find the presentation of information slightly confusing after studying lf power, hf power, ratio and relation to stress, and comparing the measured values with how i feel. I feel that the main thing i can conclude is that we are rapidly developing knowledge in a fairly immature region of health and wellness.

You may be experiencing data corruption in your session history. Please contact support@sweetwaterhrv.com and we will be glad to help with any of your issues and get you back up and running again.
Solid App for tracking HRV
I don’t use the all functions on the app, but it works well for tracking my HRV and has helped pull my average from around 67 to 75. However, when I use my desktop to view my progress, it doesn’t work. I’d still recommend for others just for HRV tracking.
Great HRV app
I have tried a lot of HRV apps and for me this is still the best - especially with regard to its provision of the raw data in a clear and full way. Accurate, reliable and simple to use.
Design needs improvement
This app is great because it makes looking at LF/HF so much easier than other HRV apps.
But the design makes user experience very difficult. For example after you take a reading, to move through all the graphs you have click small radio buttons at the bottom of the screen that are nearly impossible to hit accurately. Could easily make a swipe functionality to move through charts.

I am unclear as to what radio buttons you are referring to. The only way to see all your graphs from a session is swiping whether it is at the end of the session or through History>Session. Please contact support@sweetwaterhrv.com and we will be happy to walk you through and figure out what you are seeing. Also, there are small film strip icons on different screens. Tap the icon and a video will run showing you how to use the app and the features and functions. Please contact us.
Stress alerts are great!
As someone with MECFS and POTS this is a game Changer.
I’m having some issues currently trying to run sweet beat on my iPhone 6 running iOS 11.1.1, I enjoy running it all day hooked up my Polar H10 chest strap.
My phone alerts me when I get into the Red zone.
Although it often just closes after 3-4 hours, sometimes 1-2. I then often don’t noticed for an hour or so, and have to
continually check the app.
I also run Heart Graph in the background doing a very similar thing. That app runs in the background all day, no problem.
