Heart Rate Variability Logger

I use these recordings during atrial fibrillation events to better understand what is happening and give the treating Dr a picture of the duration and range of my HR. The rr values and interpretations of this data are essential to determine the difference between a normal rapid heart rate and the anomalies associated with AF

I bought this app believing it can help me track my physical stress levels in realtime. However since it only provides technical data intelligible to people with a novice understanding of how HRV works, this app isn't useful and sadly for me it was $12.99 wasted.

This is a helpful tool, however this app crashes every time I use it, within half an hour. I’m using one of the HRV4Training recommended bands (Scosche). Renders this otherwise useful tool useless.

The app inexplicably lost its ability to export files to Dropbox. I’ve tried deleting both Dropbox AND HRV Logger in an effort to make it work again (and lost all my data in the process). Still doesn’t work. Given the limitations of the app itself, exporting the data is critical. This loss of functionality severely handicaps the app.

I’m re-doing my review bc I had some issues with the user interface and Dropbox, but the developer helped me fix it. It was really an issue on my end. Things to note: (1) I did not realise that when I got this, I’d be looking at a spreadsheet of values to help me work out my aerobic threshold level. That’s just where the field is at the moment, so I’m happy to do this, but this app won’t pop out a magic number like an ftp value to stick with for a while. The alpha-1 value is itself dynamic anyway, but I use it on a trainer to get a ball park value that I can implement when riding at Zone 2. (2) If you do want to go out and ride with this to follow the alpha-1 threshold as you ride, then note you’ll need two sources of HR data (two hr straps) if you use a bike computer, since you’ll now also need your phone to record data. That is, unless your phone can connect to the HR strap at the same time as your bike computer. (3) This really does require that you pay attention to what you’re doing. It’s not as simple as pedalling and then getting a number. The instructions really do need to be followed.

I have multiple Garmin HRM straps and the App does not recognize any of them. I don’t want to buy a new strap just to use this App

Used alpha one measurement and exported to a numbers to graph against HR. Interesting to see how it changes when you are not recovered also. Would be nice to see pacing information added to data

Thank you for the iPad update, have made and saved several measurements. Sensor selection is appreciated. I will check your web site to get more information on the “Workout” correction factor. More aggressive at higher heart rate makes sense but I would like to understand the details better. The addition of DFA alpha1 is quite interesting. I will have to do some research as I have not used this feature in the past. HRV Logger is a great tool for monitoring performance over longer periods of time. Thank You.

This is the best HRV app for people who like to track hrv data and then analyze it.

Bloated apps can be infinitely frustrating for data collection and analysis. This app gives you straightforward data collection and analysis with a simple user interface. I will probably purchase other developer apps individually just to support him. Nice to see an app that doesn't try to exploit human weaknesses/impulses or cater everyone at once. 🤗
