Beat Watcher: Stress Monitor

This app and its ability to constantly monitor my heart rate and provide me with alerts at certain BPMs has helped me achieve stability by allowing me to better understand my moods and how they affect my heart rate. Thank you so much for creating this!

Great app once I figured out how to configure settings to prevent the app from opening when in constant heart monitoring mode. Highly recommend it.

Keeping track of my heart rate continuously throughout the day is critical for addressing my health issues. This is the only app I could find that allows me to see my real time heart rate as a complication (with updates every five seconds like you are in “workout mode”). The ability to run the app in background mode with heart rate alerts is a huge plus. I don’t find it to be a big battery drain, but that would be an acceptable trade off for me personally. I am disappointed that Apple does not allow the user to determine how frequently they want/need heart rate data. * I believe that the description for this app indicated a one time fee of $1.99. This price is well worth it, but I was not charged. Just wanted to let the developer know in case this was an error. Please continue to update the app!

The complications on the Apple watch heart monitor is for more superior. it gives you your current heart rate, your resting heart rate, and your walking average.

Love this app but it drains the Apple Watch battery really quickly. Im getting about 12 hours of battery life

This app is perfect. I have Long Covid and POTS. This app allows me to see my current HR on my watch face. It also lets you set a HR alarm. It dings down when you go above, and dings up when it’s resolved and you go below. Let’s me know to stop what I’m doing and recover. It’s simple and perfect. Thank you so much!

I was skeptical and took me a bit to get it down with figuring out the background mode, but it’s totally worth it!!! I have a medical condition that if my heart rate gets too high I pass out. Before, I wasn’t able to recognize before it was too late. Well now, I can choose when I want to be alerted to try and correct my symptoms early and it works!!!! Best news is, I haven’t passed out at all since installing this. Has literally been a life changer. Thank you 🥰

I like that it alerts you when your heart rate reaches a certain bpm. I though it was gonna really kill my battery but I’m able to have it on all day and still have about 25-30% battery life right before bed when I put it to charge. I own the series 7.

I needed an app to continually monitor my heart rate, not one that kept switching back to my watch face like the standard Apple watch monitor (another example of Apple deciding it knows what its users want better than the user does). After all, it’s not easy to start pressing tiny icons while riding mountain bike trails or even road riding. I also need to set a specific alert for 130 bpm, the max my doc says is safe since I am on beta blockers after an October heart attack. This amazing app solves both issues providing a customizable alert and a constant at-a-glance reading. Thank you!!

I was looking for an app that I could set to a specific heart rate and it would alert me when I went over that rate as well as under so I could run and keep a “fat burn” heart rate (much lower than heart rate on a traditional run). That’s exactly what this app does with haptics on an Apple Watch. Works great. Now today I’m going to try using Runkeeper on my phone with Beat Watcher on my watch. I think they’ll work in tandem as long as I don’t use either the Runkeeper or Workout apps on my watch. Only one tracking app allowed at a time on the watch. But for $1.99 this app does exactly what I wanted it to do :)
