Athlytic: AI Fitness Coach

Love this app so much! When you are training hard and working for gains every lever you can pull makes a difference. This app helps me know where I am at physically at any moment.

It’s a nice app and seems to have some useful insights but the UI is quite busy. I wish it was a bit more simplified and use friendly like the “Summary/Favourites” tab in Apple health. Also when I come back to the app after not using it for a few hours, I have to scroll and scroll to return to the top of the tab. Some apps allow you to tap on the tab again and it pops you to the top. In general I think the app is nice and useful but I think it just needs some UI improvements to make it more user friendly. Take the summary screen for example; the first thing you see is a long paragraph, then 4 basic looking tiles, then a bunch of little tiles, then a graph and then a huge disclaimer. If all of these were replaced with rectangular tiles that were all the same size and had enough info to get the point across but not so much that it’s not glanceable, then it would be a very good UI. Then you can click on each tile to get more detailed information. I dunno, it just seems like a slightly unsatisfying UI to use and every time I look at it I feel that it’s either too bland or too busy depending on which part I’m looking at. I’ve been using it for a while now and all my initial thoughts still stand but I have some additional thoughts. The app ALWAYS tells me to workout. I’ve been hammering my body and I think it would be wise to have a rest day but this app just constantly tells me to workout. It doesn’t seem very smart to me. It actually seems pretty useless. Yes my HRV might be good and I might have slept well but if I have been working out every day for the past 5 days then MAYBE I should have a rest day? The app needs better logic.

Athlytic uses data collected by your Apple Watch to provide trends and insights. All data is kept and analysed on device so no data is shared with third-parties. I would never not skip a training session because an app suggested to take it easy - however being able to look back on long-term trends provides me with insight into how my training effects my sleep and recovery and how outside factors have a positive or negative impact on my overall health and well being. The app is being actively developed with well written guides and an active user community.

New designed apple widget on the Apple Watch is terrible. I can’t now see what my recovery % (all it shows is 4…) is at now due to the newly poorly designed Widget. The bar the wraps around the watch face doesn’t fit and cuts off. Making it untidy and has ruined the seamless partnership that the app had with Apple Watch. Seriously disappointing and should be fixed immediately.

The quest for 8 hours of sleep is annoying. I don’t think I’ve slept longer than 7 hours more than a couple of times in the last year, so adding sleep debt for an unattainable goal is just annoying. It would be great to be able to adjust our target time sleeping. As it is, it doesn’t seem to really take into account differences between people in this area.

Such an amazing app. The design is beautiful. The functionality is superior to anything else I’ve used. I’ve recommended this app to 4 people and they have all loved it!

If you want to get the most out of your training, this is the tool to get it done.

My subscription is until end of July - I paid a whole year upfront. But now 6 months later even tho I’m logged in, it tells me everything is behind the pro subscription and that if I want to see my data again, I’ll have to subscribe I thought there was a hiccup in the backend so I let it go for a few days. It’s been a week now. I didn’t expect to have to make another subscription after prepaying for a full year - I want a refund

Love the display on my watch but I’m over the poor function. The app constantly takes readings at the worst possible times. Of course my heart rate was high I was in the middle of a workout! I’ll go from 0%, need to rest, to 100%, ready to train in 5 mins. I’m constantly doing a mindfulness session to recalibrate the readings. All of this information is on apple health, it’s just a matter of finding it. Will not purchase again.
