heartbeatz Connect

Just updated the app to version 2. What happened to the Apple watch complication? Looks like it’s been removed? Would you add it back please?

The latest version of the Apple Watch app features much improved device detection and pairing, and reduces dropouts.

Kills the watch battery even when not running.

I downloaded this app because I added the Runn treadmill sensor to my treadmill. Since Apple workout won’t read the data from Runn, I used this app on my Apple Watch to record my workout. It reads all the data correctly from the Runn and uses my heart rate from the Watch. The problem? After the workout is complete, it records double the miles I actually ran in Apple Fitness. North Pole support says it’s a bug that will be fixed in the next version. Been waiting since mid February. If they can fix this bug, I’ll give it 5 stars. Does everything I want…except the double counting. I know the Runn is outputting correct data because I can use it with the Kinomap app and it does not count double mileage.

….. without an issue. Does what it says. I use it as my HRM while cycling.

I used to be able to connect all the time and all the sudden with Heartbeatz 2.0 I can’t get my Heartbeatz device to connect to my phone or my watch! Very frustrating!

No speed, cadence, incline, etc?? Then what’s the point? I can just tell my watch to record an indoor walk/run. The whole purpose of having this app connected to my Runn device is to record all aspects of my treadmill workout. I only see the ability to record a “cardio” or “hitt” workout, no runs or anything else.

The recent update removed the ability to record a walk or run- just cardio and HIIT. The only reason I use this app is to connect the RUNN I have to my watch, and this update has rendered it completely useless. The developers said they’d be fixing this issue weeks ago and still nothing.

A week ago it was working great. Now it seems I have 2 choices of workouts , cardio and HIT. The cardio has no distance or pace metric from my Runn device. That is literally this apps only job is to bring data from my RUNN to the workout app. It looks like the legacy Heartbeatz might still work for this, but I shouldn’t need that version with an Apple Watch ultra. Useless in its current version, it wasn’t broke, but now is. Please bring back the distance and pace for RUNN with treadmill!!!

Once you get it dialed in this works perfectly. I’m using a Series 6 Apple Watch. The key for this watch was that you have to close all the other apps on the watch that might be using the heart rate. Easy to do - just press the button below the knob and then swipe each app left to close. After that it pairs right away and works. This doesn’t change any of the baseline function of the watch. Only feature request would be to change the watch faces. I’d like elapsed time, distance, pace on one screen. Can’t seem to get that now.
