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.

My heart and my review
I connect my HR monitor to this app.I have been using this app,it seems forever!!!!I started running when my weight grew to 18stone using it to monitor my heart rate whilst running!!!I was nearly 18 stone It is incredible connecting to my iphone it warned me when my heart rate was to high and at the same time would let me know i was at the right rate for weight loss.After a while I started having heart issues and this app probably saved my life!!!!!!!after this monitor kept warning me something was wrong(jeeeze you even get a record\printout after your run.In the end I was diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve that was becoming stenotic🙁this app bloody well gave me pointers including my own symptoms etc etc.I eventually had open heart surgery and a replacement valve(this i would not wish on my worst enemy)that was three years ago and I am sat here having just walked/jogged for 5 miles.YES wearing my heart rate monitor (wahoo/Polar) connected to this app.this app then transfers data to my wahoo/strava.An incredible app
HearGraph thank you guys this is a truly wonderful piece of software 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Thank You

I’ve been using this app for several years now. It always works well. Settings are straightforward to configure. Synchronises between devices reliably. Displays the information I require clearly
Straightforward and functional
Does everything I need as a simple heart rate tracker, including training zones.
Connects reliably to my chest strap monitor and when this isnt possible (due to the monitor being already paired directly with the phone or another device via Bluetooth) it explains this and what to do.
I get best results by:
- NOT pairing my strap with my phone
- opening Heart Graph and connecting to my strap with Bluetooth
- then connecting my strap to gym equipment via ANT+
Excellent app - clear visualisations and interface
Recommended. Excellent app - clear visualisations and simple interface. Easy to understand, improves on the information gathered via my Apple watch.
Useful for consistency
I’m able to effectively maintain training in the right zones
Excellent
I can’t believe how good this app appears to be. Miles better than ALL the big corporate crap out there. All the features you actually want. No accounts no data harvesting no agreeing to some huge companies terms. Happy to pay for this. The way things should be. Keep up the great work and thanks for keeping it real. Polar etc… take note.
Brilliant useful app
I have ME/CFS & tachycardia - this app is great for pacing as I can set an alarm to go off when my heart rate goes too high, which prompts me to stop & rest, ie pace better. Use it with polar chest strap. Great app, use it most days 👍
My favourite heart rate app
Such a great app! Simple to use. Both live and review/comparison/overview graphs really helpful. Spoken heartrate alarm has been crucial in helping me manage to adapt my daily activities to stay within my limited AT with long covid. Thank you so much for such a great app!
Useful tool in helping to cope with ME.
I find heart graph linked with my Apple Watch an excellent way of keeping track throughout the day of my heart rate and I appreciate (tho admittedly sometimes ignore!) the alarms telling me when I have gone over my anaerobic threshold. It’s also very useful to see how much time I have spent in the various zones. Both play a big part in meaningful pacing, one of very few approaches that can help make any progress with the symptoms of ME. The app is very informative and easy to follow and great for the record. I have also been most appreciative of the support I have had from the developers.
A fantastic App
I love this App and use it for my cardio sessions. Brilliant layout.
