Bevel: Health & Performance

Definitely the best app for health tracking!

Previously I used a few apps to get an overall view of my health and performance. Bevel replaced Whoop, NutriCheck and Garmin for me in one app! It’s simple to use and the fact that it’s being updated regularly is amazing!!

Too much inaccurate data for me which I find very frustrating. For example it has my V02 max at 40 when my V02 max ranges from 53 to 63 depending on my race season. You can’t do 350 watts at 5x5 minutes with a V02 max of 40. The app has my recovery as poor when during my last V02 max session my HR range was from 167 bpm to 125 bpm (my max HR is 174 bpm). I also find my sleep data to be inaccurate when I compare it to my sleep watch data which I’ve been using for years.

This would get a higher rating if it wasn’t so pricey in comparison to the detail it goes into. Very little there that you can’t already extract from Apple Health. Very expensive for what it is.

Bevel does what none of the apps I know do: it provides recovery data at the level of Whoop 4 for 1/6 of the price and without needing to wear an additional device. 2. Version 2 is a game-changer for me. While I wasn’t interested in food trackers before, this update definitely changed my approach to them. I’ve used MFP (paid) occasionally, so I have some experience in this regard. 3. Price. Of course, we’re all human and would always like things to be cheaper, but realistically, £50 a year for everything it offers is a bargain. 4. Customer service/forum/etc. Amazing quality. Over the years of using various programs and apps, I haven’t encountered (except for Xert and WorkOutDoors) such a good approach to the user. It should be a model for all other developers. 5. The pace of development is also top-notch. We’d always like things faster and more, but again, realistically, it’s only praiseworthy. 6. The app design is great—there’s always room for improvement, but 9.5/10 for readability, clarity, and visual experience. 7. Widgets on the Apple Watch are excellent—an important thing for me, though few people pay much attention to it. 8. Flaws in the app? There are some, and there always will be, but they’re minor issues that don’t affect the overall experience.

Saw this advertised on instagram and figured I would give it a trial as I have been eyeing up a Oura ring for ages but couldn’t justify the cost and subscription. This app does everything I would need the ring to do, I find it so good to keep me accountable and love how it integrates with everything from Apple Health, Peloton and any other apps I use for fitness and wellness.

Exactly what I was looking for! Instead of juggling different apps that don’t have a broader overview and trying to make sense out of hundreds data points, Bevel does this for me with valuable insights and it works as a motivation to keep my strain, recovery and sleep in check.

I’ve never written a review before on the app store, but this app is incredible! Great UX and amazing data and insights. Two things that I would suggest need updating the options to add “Did you have any sugar before bed” because I’ve noticed this impacts sleep. And also the stress score seems to spike when I workout as it’s partly based on HR, this needs an update to negate this when a workout is logged in my opinion.

I’ve been a long time Whoop user and this does more for waaaaaay less. Apple Health technically does what this does but Bevel displays it in such a meaningful way on both iPhone and Watch that there’s no comparison. It’s pivotal for a healthy lifestyle without the Apple ecosystem in my opinion.

Fantastic app, love it. Just feel £49 is too expensive to pay as a one off payment and £5 per month is an expense that many will struggle with EVEN though the info given is amazing. Thanks though, am loving the app.
