Heart Rate Monitor – Bevel

The app don’t read the data of my Apple Watch Ultra!

I was an early tester of Bevel, and had been using Athlytic. In the last couple of months, I’ve removed Athlytic, and now Bevel is the only one I need. The developer is very responsive and experienced.

I have been a long time user of Oura, however as the life of my battery started to decline (down to 2 days) I went in search of a replacement. I have been using Bevel for a couple of months now and can’t imagine living without it. For the way I use both apps (there are a lot of features that I don’t use regularly), following is quick compare/contrast: - For REM and Deep sleep the two apps are directionally similar. Not sure which one is more accurate. - There is a LOT more movement in the Bevel sleep score, which I like. My Oura sleep score tends to be in a narrow range which makes it less useful. - There is even more variability with the Bevel Recover score vs. Oura’s Readiness score. I find that Bevel is way more in line with how I feel. - Bevel has a Strain recommendation (how hard you should work out that day) based on your sleep/recover, which I find very useful. This has helped to reduce the amount I over train. - Bevel tracks your stress throughout the day. I consider myself having very low stress however I have learned that the stress from some of my workouts stays with me throughout the day. - My wife got sick and all of the Bevel scores I have mentioned above enabled her to be smart about her recovery and getting back to training. With Oura I really like the Heart Rate graph and the HRV graph, neither of which currently exist within Bevel (though they are on the feature request list).

I have truly enjoyed using this app so far!! It is clean, crisp and simple. It makes everything easy and provides great insights!!

I have been using this app since its first public release in January 2024 and all other fitness coaching apps have been deleted and subscriptions canceled. Bevel continues to get better and better with each update that is released! Is it accurate? I feel that it is. If you have a low recovery score, you can feel it! If you have a high recovery score, it’s a game on day!! The developers are doing a great job with this app and are willing to help you out if you have issues.

This is the first app that has made me feel like I can fully unlock my body using the data from my Apple Watch. Apple Health has been the same crappy design for years and then this came along and i finally feel like my watch is useful again.

Forces you to register and set up a profile only to lock you out if you don’t pay

Finally a clean, useful app that unlocks the metrics athletes are looking for.

Only info I find missing is VO2max and recovery heart rate

Amazing for recovery and sleep tracking, miles ahead of any comparable app I've seen within the App Store thus far. However, the workout section is a bit lacking. I currently use Strong premium, but I really want to switch to this because it just offers so much more. If there was a way to add custom exercises and designate "warmup sets", "super sets" (lol), and "drop sets", this would be an absolute winner. Cannot wait to see what this team does with this, I think with improvements to the workout tracking section as described it will put all other fitness apps to shame. Don't sleep on this!
