HeartWatch: Heart Rate Monitor

Watching the data consistently on HeartWatch pointed to what turned out to be a significant medical issue. Glad I had this.

I was sad that in February when my iOS was updated and the watch was updated, I lost all of the heart rate stuff. They recommended this app, but it does not work for my system. It keeps telling me that I need to add my birthday to my health app. But it is there. I would like a refund. This doesn’t work for me.

I’ve tried a number of health tracking apps, and this is one I keep coming back to. It works well alongside the iOS Health app, but goes a step further in how it presents and visualizes the data. Where Apple Health tends to limit you to fixed views (day, week, month, 6 months, year), this app gives you more flexibility. One of the most useful features is the ability to apply trailing averages, which helps smooth out the day-to-day fluctuations that can be discouraging when you’re trying to stay consistent. That smoothing makes a bigger difference than you might expect. In the past, I’ve tended to lose momentum somewhere around the 2–3 month mark, and part of that comes from reacting too much to short-term swings. This app helps keep the focus on the overall trend rather than the noise. If you’re already using Apple Health but want a clearer, more motivating way to look at your data over time, this is a really useful companion app.

The app is not very responsive. Clicking something will take a long time to react. Improve your frontend performance please. Also do i have to use my watch to add a measurement for my weight? Can I do it with my phone???

Goes beyond iOS capabilities. Worth the money. Developers keep it updated and functional, even through iOS updates. Information it outputs is insightful and accurate. My cardiologist frequently asks me to send her the data from this app. Recommend for anyone looking to get a better understanding of their cardiovascular health. Buy the bundle that has their other health apps as well, for the big picture…as the different apps sync together perfectly (and it saves money to buy them bundled).

Looks like a good app, but I need warning during exercise that my pulse exceeded a limit while exercising. This app follows the Apple notification of high heart rate for 10 min after being idle

Just downloaded the app and set all notifications and allow app to read Health app. Unfortunately when I go to open the app it pops up a window indicating “You don’t seem to have entered your birthdate in your Apple Health app.” Checked my Health app and confirmed my birthdate is entered. Don’t understand why I’m getting this message but if this app can read a simple piece of data from my Health app then I seriously doubt it will accurately read important data like my heart rate, etc. . . Deleting app.

I’ve been using this app for about a year now, and I find it very helpful. It has expanded views and ways of summarizing information compared with Apple health, and I get a lot out of them.

I used to use my watch to monitor my health and HeartWatch was my favorite piece of that puzzle. Long story short I got away from that habit (and it cost me!!). I just recently committed to old habits that kept me on track, so I started back with Health, HeartWatch , Activity and AutoSleep. HeartWatch is my favorite because it pulls essential information across all the apps into one place. The visuals are impactful and the data behind them is incredible. Wow!!! The insight you can gain in just a few short days of tracking can be life changing. While it was harsh to see the differences in my health from before to now, (i.e. body temp, sleep O2, minutes active) the insights HeartWatch provides is exactly the info I need to motivate me to change!

Every time I try to use the ECG feature it tells me to hold my hand still as my hand is on a flat surface not moving. It use to work but the last year it will only go for maybe 5 seconds before it resets to 30 seconds

Great Application but you need to take time to understand the data.

Not automatically refreshing

Great way to monitor general health and identify goals for improvement.

I’ve been using HeartWatch for many years. For HR monitoring and history it’s first class. I do have a problem with the SP02 information, as it doesn’t take altitude into consideration. For those who live in the Denver area, normal SP02 percentages could be 3% to 5% lower than someone living at sea level. In higher mountains, there’s an even greater distance. Health information should be accurate for the individual and not generalized.

Simple, accurate & reliable

This app pulls together your health statistics in a way that is helpful to monitor your health and fitness progress. You'll see trends and be able to make changes to avoid overtraining.

Why don't you add Arabic

I am enjoying all the data this apps shows in the easy to understand format. It is a very helpful app to supplement my picture of cardiovascular health.

I have used this app for about three years. It's been tracking all of my metrics and I think it represents a big bang for the buck. As well as conveying the information in formats that is easily readable and, more importantly, easily understandable.

So far, this App is okay. It is a lot easier to use than their clunky and overburdening AutoSleep App. I will update my review after having seen how the App works over more time. My main complaint right now is the Character Rings. I am mixed race like many people are. However, I do not look like one of my brown parents. There are NO light skinned (whiteish) looking characters to choose. WHAT!!!! Also, the hair colors are limited as well. Not many choices for silver or gray hair. Hmm...
