YaoYao - Jump Rope

I have two issues with this app. Despite its friendly logo, in order to just track your heart rate, you have to switch on access to all your personal health data. Why is this necessary? Why is it that I can’t just switch on access to heart rate and that is sufficient? Secondly, it does not count jumps accurately. I reckon it counts around half the jumps I make. If you wave your arms around a lot (poor jump rope form) then it counts more accurately but if you are an efficient jump Roper, it just isn’t accurate.

I’m really impressed with this app. It gives me all the data that I need to get the most out of jump rope. I am 62 years old and have been skipping (jump roping) since I was a teenager. I wish I had found this app earlier.

I downloaded and purchased the full app 2 years ago, and Loved it!!! Unfortunately, in the last 6months the accuracy is counting roughly half of what I am jumping. Can someone please help, is this a setting problem? Update; I have had a response that has resolved this issue, back up to a 5* review :) if you love or want to get into skipping / jump rope this is the best app on the market

I’ve amended my review as I used to use this with no problem at all and had the permissions set as I wanted them to be. Now, and flying in the face of privacy, it won’t start until I turn on ALL permissions in the health app. I don’t it reading or writing various data sets and that’s how it used to work. But unless I now share EVERYTHING with it it won’t work. Shame but I refuse to share personal details just to jump up and down!! They don’t need my full date of birth, I’ve set the year in the app and that’s all they need not the full thing…nor do they need to write my weight to the health app, I record that separately not through here. Regardless, the app moans about not having access, why? What do you need it for? You didn’t previously so what’s changed? Anyway, many stars removed for privacy invasion.

After the most recent update the app has uninstalled itself from my series 1 watch. Very annoying seeing as it says in the app description that it works with series 1 & 2 watches! I was really enjoying the app which makes it that even more disappointing it’s stopped working! Update: Contacted the developer and they helped get the app back on my watch! Excellent developer, can’t recommend this app enough.

Love the HIIT option. Encourages me to continue with my workouts

App boosted my motivation to consistently jump rope and gave me another use of my watch.

App doesn’t work with iOS update and crashes when opening. Additionally, the watch doesn’t sync with the app since this update

Incredible app, really accurate counts and a great break down of calorie burn, combinations and max jumps and heart rate. Definitely worth the price

Hi there. Just downloaded. Loving the app. My music playback keeps cutting out when I receive a notification. Is this suppose to happen? Hopefully it is a small bug and quick fix.
