## What is Talking Heart Rate?

It is an application of Apple Watch that reads heart rate by voice.

・Aerobic exercise while maintaining heart rate

・As a simple lie detector as it reads out the heart rate of the person wearing it by voice

・It works with Apple Watch alone.

The following customization is possible.

· Reading interval
　none〜30〜60〜90〜120〜180 [s]

· Arm raising motion
　This application reads out the voice when opening the application. In other words, you can know the current heart rate without watching the clock.

· Change in heart rate
　We will inform you of the rise / fall width relative to the average value over the past 30 seconds.
　none〜±5〜±10〜±20〜±30 [bpm]

· Position information and time when heart rate became maximum in that session are recorded.
　You can check this information with Apple watch.

· Change icon
　You can change to the following type of icon.
　heart,fire,lightning,paint,nikukyu,tokugawa
　The blink rate simulates the measured bpm.

· Tone of sound
　You can change the pitch of speech and speech speed.

※ This application will drain the battery to acquire location information while using the application. For this reason it is not suitable for long time use.

### 2/5 — Simple watch that speaks bpm and voiceover friendly

*2020-04-19*

Other than the Apple Watch restrictions  this app works well on my watch as intended. Extremely frustrating not being able to run Workout or Strava or any other fitness app at the same time due to the Apple Watch restriction. 
Works well with voice over but useless for anybody who wants their heartrate announcing but then also wants any other workout information from any other apps at the same time.

### 1/5 — Whoever rated this app without trying it out abused the rating system

*2019-01-16, version 1.0.3*

Don’t bother downloading this app if it brings you to settings panel and the annoying pop up ads without returning to the heart beat functions. What a waste.

### 5/5 — Perfect App for Endurance

*2018-06-18, version 1.0.3*

This app is perfect for monitoring your heart rate when you are doing a sport where you can’t look at your watch, or only have a fraction of a second to view. This is my second review. The first time I used it it didn’t work when moving. Now it’s great. Thank you for developing this app!!!!
