Knowing your current heart rate is useful, but seeing in real time how it varies over a longer period gives you much more information, especially when trying to understand how your body is responding to a training plan. Heart Graph can be used for all types of aerobic exercise including running, cycling, rowing or gym work, and of course you can also use it to study your normal heart rate for general health reasons.
Heart Graph allows you to record new data and see your heart rate graph in real time, as well as importing existing data from Apple Health. Data from previous sessions can then be compared to give a deeper understanding of how your body is changing over time, for example by directly comparing the graphs for equivalent sessions, viewing statistics such as max, mean and resting heart rate across sessions, or seeing the proportion of time spent in different heart rate zones aggregated over weeks or months. (Note some features require a one-off In-App Purchase, as described below.)
FREE features of Heart Graph include:
* Display a real-time graph of heart rate against time on your iPhone or iPad
* Support for both Bluetooth sensors and Apple Watch
* No ads
* Review your sessions offline to spot trends in your data
* Integration with Apple Health: import existing workout data and store new workouts
* Maximise the screen area for graphs on iPhone using landscape orientation
* Group related sessions by adding your own notes, then searching for sessions matching those notes
* Record a standard Reference Set at the start of each session to help determine how your body is really doing; if your heart rate is elevated, you may want to take it easy
* Record data in the background if you want to use other heart rate apps (Bluetooth sensors)
* Calculate calories burned, and set a calorie target for each session
Beyond the basics, a single, one-off In-App Purchase will enable the Premium Features, giving you access to more in-depth analysis tools and the ability to design your training sessions in the app. These Planned Workouts split a session into small pieces, for example sets at the the gym, or intervals on a bike. When you’re exercising, Heart Graph will keep track of where you are in the session and what’s coming up next, alerting you when it’s time to stop or move on. The trigger for moving from one set to the next can be a simple time gap (“wait 30 seconds”), or be based on heart rate to allow a specific amount of recovery before continuing (“wait until heart rate is below 120bpm”). The outcome is a structured plan that adapts to how your body is responding each time you do that session.
Premium Features include:
* View and analyse the time spent in each of five configurable heart rate zones
* Add annotations to the graph during recording to help identify key events
* Heart rate alarms when your heart rate changes zone or goes above or below configurable thresholds
* Import data from the Health app for custom time periods of up to 24 hours
* Directly compare graphs for equivalent sessions
* Compare statistics (such as max, mean and resting heart rate) across sessions
* Record a session to explicitly measure resting heart rate while you relax
* Audio rep counting so you never lose count - make a noise every time you complete a rep and the app keeps track of how many you’ve done
* Import and export heart rate data from other apps or your computer using Garmin TCX format files
* Import Garmin GPX format files
* Export data to CSV files for further analysis in software such as Excel (email, Dropbox, etc)
Heart Graph requires an external sensor to record heart rate, such as:
* A bluetooth (BTLE) sensor such as the Wahoo Tickr / Polar H10 chest straps, or the Mio Alpha watch
* An Apple Watch
* An ANT+ sensor connected using the Wahoo Key
DISCLAIMER: Heart Graph is not a medical device, and you must always seek a doctor’s advice before making any medical decisions.

biofeedback, also beyond workouts
Best app for HR feedback with Apple watch:
* Allows for indefinite HR monitoring in the ‘resting heart rate’ function. It then may send warnings at any BPM you enter.
* It is one of only two apps I could find capable of Apple watch HR-warnings over longer periods; the other one collects your data, this one says it doesn’t.
* Allows you to define as workout any sequence of timed activities you choose
* Facilitates comparison with previous / chosen standard graphs.
* Allows annotations in the graphs, e.g. to indicate events.
It would be even better if
•• the annotations could be entered afterwards in analysis (maybe I just haven’t figured it out yet)
•• it would be possible to indicate and alert HR-Zones in the RHR-mode as well.
•• Apple would allow for backgrounding of HR-monitoring / alerting…
I am extremely happy to have found this app: huge thank you to the makers!
Wonderfull app
I use this app regularly when doing a workout. It shows the present heart beat, and history of 2 minutes and 8 hours. In this way, you know if you are doing enough or too much exercise. The 8 hour graph is usefull if you do longer exercises. It is not very power hungry: you can leave it on for a whole day if you need to. There are reports on the internet that this app cannot exist: this is not true. It exists and works well, I use it a few times every week.
Terrible
Does simply not work at all
Great App
Work well. Never had a problem. Comes with nice options.
Speak heart rate option
Ik use the app for boxing training and an very happy with the new option. The app speaks the heart rate . I train on 50% heartrate for bag training and the app informs me every 15. Second about my current heart rate. This way i dont have to watch and by distracted and can adjust keep focusing
Great app for biofeedback
I love using this app for 24h heart rate monitoring and biofeedback. It has given me a lot of insights.
I used the polar flow app before, but it’s not so detailled as this app
Simple and Good
Works easy and very licable
App is great but could be greater
A proper users guide is missing, and the interface could be improved, but the app does what it needs to do.
