I use it every day

### 5/5 — My favorite

*2026-06-30, version 9.0.3*

Heart rate reading from the AirPods Pro 3 would be the icing on the cake. Sleek, functional, straightforward design. 10/10.

### 5/5 — Simple and best

*2026-06-30*

It is simply good at what it does. Settings allow for customisation of heart rate zones. Please add recovery score and training Readiness score also. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-06-30, version 9.0.3*

Love it but right now I can’t contact you (support email function just shows a message- no email). Wanted to ask if you can add a widget for month/year calendar view of workout history. Filterable would be great too.

### 5/5 — Zones for heart rate

*2026-06-28, version 9.0.3*

Great app for keeping track on zone training

### 1/5 — Heart rate display

*2026-06-25, version 9.0.3*

Due to the most recent update, it is no longer possible to show a continuous heart rate display.

### 4/5 — Very useful app

*2026-06-25*

I have been using this app for over four years to track the heart rate zones when exercising.
The reason the app didn’t get five stars is because it doesn’t sync with some apps that it is supposed to sync with.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste ur money

*2026-06-21, version 9.0.3*

The app doesn’t connect to health app anymore. Cant track my zones. They don’t respond to emails. Waste of money.

### 5/5 — Stay in zone

*2026-06-09, version 9.0.3*

I like the zone app because it gives me a good idea of how hard I am working out or walking or running
