Impossible to use

Age is fixed at 20 years and the app keeps disconnecting thus making it unable to do what was designed for.

Just what I was looking for

I spent a couple of weeks on and off looking for an app that would save me continuously checking my watch when trying to use my cross trainer. Silly as it sounds I’m using it for cardio so heart rate is important and constantly taking my hand off the machine to flick my wrist and wait for the heart rate to display was annoying. I looked in loads of places for a heart rate monitor that could be displayed permanently during my exercise period. Long story short this is a gem on a find. Syncs seamlessly with my Apple Watch, displays the heart rate and where I am on the cardio scale, which is set for my age group. Stays open while I’m using it so the checks are instant, even has a guess at the calories burnt ( needs to tweak that up a bit ;) All round exactly what I needed and I paid £1.99, I had been considering £100 for a decent chest strap and App.

Great for live HR monitoring.

Great app for monitoring heart rate live on full screen. Works well with Apple Watch. Need to sort out saving the heart rate zones to make it complete.

Does not want to reset bpm

Can’t get it to start a new session. It keeps starting from reading that does not coincide with what is in the watch.

THE UNSUNG BEAUTY!!

Read the description. Carefully. Read again.
You will get EXACTLY what is shown there.

Exceptional integration with the iOS 26.1 in both the Apple Watch Ultra3 and the phone.
Epitome of simplicity! The watch and the phone communicate seamlessly!

If something doesn’t work in your hands-please contact the developers! The App Support responds immediately!

To the developers:
Outstanding Work! Bravo!

I only wish there was a complication for the Modular face. Asked the developer about - they never got back to me.

Nevertheless, it’s a Five-Star app all right!

Almost perfect

The only thing missing is the detailed heart rate zones and the time spent in each of them, they aren’t recorded in the native exercise app after the workout.

Worked once

Can’t get it to work again and the troubleshooting takes me to a page no longer available. Super disappointed

Response from developer

The troubleshooting page experienced an issue that caused it to go offline for a short period. I have already resolved the problem, so please try accessing it again.

Synchronize is perfectly with watch but needs a lock screen view

Tata this a bunch and I love that I don’t have to look at my watch all the time. However, when I’m on my bike running or rowing my phone locks and I can’t see what my heart rate is. A feature that shows the display when your phone locks would be excellent

Poor connection, does not stop

Poor connection to Apple Watch. Does not stop with workout stops on Apple Watch. HUAWEI health is way more advanced.

Does the job

This app is totally worth it. Nothing fancy just your heart rate

quit working after 2 weeks

Used the app for 2 weeks before it stopped connecting to my workouts

Sometimes works

Sometimes it connects to Apple Watch, sometimes it doesn’t. The troubleshooting link is 404.

Great app. Needs one feature.

this is a great app. I hope you add one feature, which is the ability to set timers for HIIT workouts. For example, it would be great to create a workout with 5 min of warm up in Zone 1, then 10x 30 second Zone 3 intervals with 30 seconds of rest, then 8x 1 min Zone 2 intervals with 30 seconds of rest, then 5 min cool down in Zone 1. Each of these would be a countdown timer so a user could create their custom HIIT workout and just follow along. They would know automatically what to do for how long and how much is remaining in the workout. Thanks.

Great App, exactly what I needed.

Absolutely great. I just wish that you could add active calories not just total calories.

NO SUBSCRIPTION, YEAH !

Some reviews say it doesn’t show distance, but all I care about seeing with my Apple Watch connected is: the time elapsed, the heart rate updated every 5 seconds, and the heart rate zones. It does all this without a greedy subscription!

Doesn’t work with other workout apps

It doesn’t mention this anywhere in the description, but, as other reviews have said, it forces you to use this app only for workouts, and it must be in the forefront of your watch and phone, and you can’t use it along with any normal workout apps. I just wanted something that read my heart rate while I was using normal workout apps, but this isn’t it.

Ripoff

Have to use its workouts so worthless. Connected phone and watch and app keeps dropping connection. Tried troubleshooting link in dev response and I guess they no longer support this because the site is only about a camera app

Response from developer

Hi, this app is still under active development. Please visit this page to resolve your issue: https://www.anh-app.com/workout-live/troubleshooting

Unresponsive

No response from developer contact link for two questions

This is a stand alone app

This is just another workout app. You aren’t using the Apple Watch app when using this, so you can’t track your workouts in fitness.

Response from developer

This app has a companion watchOS app. Please visit this page to resolve your issue: https://www.anh-app.com/workout-live/troubleshooting
