BlueHeart Bluetooth Heart Rate

I have an Apple Watch Series 1 that I use for heart rate monitoring in Zwift. My watch is stuck at WatchOS 6.3 and Zwift stopped supporting it in late 2022. I switched to the free HeartCast app and that worked OK but was glitchy and had many brief dropouts. With the last iPhone update to OS 17.3.1, HeartCast disappeared from my watch and according to the App Store, BlueHeart was the only app still supporting my watch. With the free version, the ad would not display so the app wouldn't work. I paid for the Pro version in hopes that it would work and it worked perfectly - connecting immediately and no dropouts during my Zwift ride 👍 I took off one star for the ad-supported version not working and will update later if I have any issues.

Does not work. Do not buy. Wasted workout time.

Love the app, works great! Note that you have to disable adblockers for it to work properly. I also have to power cycle my treadmill after each session. I think these two solutions will resolve 95% of the issues people run into. I use it every day! My only request for the app is it would be amazing if it could increase the frequency that it reads / broadcasts my heart rate as the competitor app does.

App passed the compatibility test once then wont reconnect subsequently to do an actual workout. No iPad ui support just stretched phone layout. Health not supported on iPad. No option for a refund.

Did a test. It connected. Upgraded to pro and will no longer connect to Garmin 1040. Very frustrating. Waste of time and money.

Sure, make me watch an ad to use an app for free, but an ad for guns right as another school shooting is making headlines? Deleting the app now and forever. Check your sponsors…

This was a hit or miss for a while and now it just stopped working altogether. I’m so annoyed with this and will have to look for another app

I really wanted this app to live up to its promises but after a year of futzing, this app simply does not work reliably. Or at all, it seems lately. I started with the free version and it worked pretty well. Well enough to make the pro version worth it. That was a mistake. Connection issues constantly. The instructions are convoluted asking you to press buttons or dismiss dialogs that don’t actually don’t exist. Completely useless Don’t spend your money on this.

This app just doesn’t work. Period. Never connects with watch. It complained the watch app wasn’t installed on first run even though it automatically installed after DL.

Doesn’t connect to the watch about every 4-5 workouts. Of course, you don’t know this until you’re starting your workout. Crap app.
