Workout Live - Heart Rate Zone

this is a great app. I hope you add one feature, which is the ability to set timers for HIIT workouts. For example, it would be great to create a workout with 5 min of warm up in Zone 1, then 10x 30 second Zone 3 intervals with 30 seconds of rest, then 8x 1 min Zone 2 intervals with 30 seconds of rest, then 5 min cool down in Zone 1. Each of these would be a countdown timer so a user could create their custom HIIT workout and just follow along. They would know automatically what to do for how long and how much is remaining in the workout. Thanks.

It doesn’t mention this anywhere in the description, but, as other reviews have said, it forces you to use this app only for workouts, and it must be in the forefront of your watch and phone, and you can’t use it along with any normal workout apps. I just wanted something that read my heart rate while I was using normal workout apps, but this isn’t it.

Have to use its workouts so worthless. Connected phone and watch and app keeps dropping connection. Tried troubleshooting link in dev response and I guess they no longer support this because the site is only about a camera app

No response from developer contact link for two questions

This is just another workout app. You aren’t using the Apple Watch app when using this, so you can’t track your workouts in fitness.

Shows your watch workout info live on your phone screen which is very helpful when on cardio machines. Love that heart rate zones are color coded so I can quickly glance and tell what zone I’m in. App is robust where you can minimize it on the watch or phone and it continues to run. I minimized it watched a YouTube video, pulled it back up and it was still running. After your workout it writes the workout data into the stock Apple fitness app. It doesn’t seem to have the ability to write how long you are in each heart rate zone like the stock fitness app does. Other than that this is huge and it’s embarrassing that Apple’s own app can only do screen mirroring when you are cycling. To the app developer - way to provide more functionality than a multi-billion dollar company!

I am still looking for what I missed in the description, but a major disclosure is missing to me. You don’t only have to start the Apple Watch app as well as the phone app (is disclosed), it must be in the forefront. This means it does not fit my use case. I wanted to use my normal workout app while on the treadmill and use this to show my heart rate from my watch on my phone propped up on the machine. Can’t do this with this app. Probably works for someone who wants to use this as a primary workout app but it lacks MOST features of a typical primary workout app. I have politely asked for a refund since I deleted the app with 30 minutes of purchase. Hope this review helps others.

This app clearly displays the live heart rate from my Apple Watch and the routines integrate into my Apple Health App. When I bought my Apple watch I was very dissapointed that the iPhone did not have this capability already. Seems like an obvious capability to have. I use this every day at the gym.

Don’t buy it. Waste of money.

Does everything I truly need/want it to do. Some additions I would like in the future; Have the ability to see the elapsed time I am in each heart rate zone. Why; During my bike/walks, they are normally in zone two but take me a bit to get my heart rate up for the workout. It would be nice to get the exact time in the zone. Heart rate alerts when dropped below or going above a certain range. Otherwise, thank you for the simplicity!
