HeartWatch: Heart Rate Monitor

I open this app first. Clear graphics and enough information to be useful but not overwhelm.

Ios 18 seems to have created a bug in this and now it doesn’t work even after deleting and reinstalling as it still stops and doesn’t load information. Been using it for for many years and just deleted app

I have been enjoying this app keeping an eye on my health. As of today from the update for IOS18 the sleep tracking is not working. It’s still giving yesterday’s sleep details for today, also won’t let me click on to see data chart. I don’t want to delete and reinstall, when I was going to it told me all saved data will be lost!

So I’m actually finding this a really great app overall. I purchased in a bundle with AutoSleep and am also enjoying that app. So why the 2 star review? Well, there is a huge (actually dangerous) problem with the way it decides what is a good vs bad change in weight. The app automatically classes weight loss as good (green or blue on chart) and weight gain as bad (yellow or red on chart). In case anyone reading this doesn’t get why this is a problem let me tell you how I came to notice this. I have been unwell recently and I lost some weight as a result. I went from a bmi firmly in the healthy range to a bmi in the underweight range. According to heart app this was good! I then put some of the weight back on, bringing me back into healthy range (only just!). This is bad according to the app!? On the plus side it does seem to view rapid weight gain as worse than gradual (I played around adding fake measurements to see how it handled it). Unfortunately as far as I can tell it ALWAYS views weight loss as good regardless of how rapid it is or whether it takes you to a very unhealthily low bmi. Not good guys… fix this! There are people with eating disorders who this bug could have a very detrimental effect on. Will change review when this is sorted.

Been using the HeartWatch and AutoSleep apps for more years than I care to remember and can’t fault them

I hate subscriptions with a passion, finally found a well made app which everyone should get. A great price and a great duo of apps.

Very happy with this app , which works with auto sleep. Would recommend.

This is an amazing app it is incredibly comprehensive and easily worth the money I’ve had it for a while and I’ve barely scratched the surface.

I have used this app for years and it is so useful! Use it to monitor my heart rate , my workouts, steps , distance walked and much more . The best app for monitoring your heart by a mile!

Helps with my monitoring of my heart. I have several issues, the app allows me to collect and interrogate the data. Good app for collecting other information and useful data
