Body Insights: HRV, REM & Rest

Great app. You can see everything on the front page, and recent updates (July 2024) have fixed sleep tracking issues I was having and a few other bugs. Thanks!

After the most recent updates I’m now being spammed every minute by a notification with my latest HRV reading. Not good. 😩

Seems like something I’d quite like to use every day and have been doing so for about a month now. But sometimes the data makes no sense, it might tell me that I need to rest when I’m due a workout and feel very good and energetic. It can rate my sleep as not good but I feel amazing and other apps say the sleep was perfect. In fairness, the best way to sort this would be to explain the detail behind the insights. How are the calculations made , give this information then I can make determinations on the data being provided, currently it’s all a black box with no explanation so very hard to know how valuable or reliable the data is. On a side note, this is the sort of app I’d pay for happily , not in its current state but if the transparency is added into how the insights are calculated then it would be quite beneficial to daily decision making.

A useful little app that could do with some improvements. I like the single view interface, which has some really useful insights, but it would be helpful to understand how some of the metrics are calculated. For example, how are Body Battery and Fitness Age calculated? If the developer could add a pop up explanation for each metric, like there is for stress score, I’d give this a solid 5 stars. A morning notification to remind us to look at the daily body state would be great too, along with a springboard widget.

Helpful insights in a single view

I tried it and I hate it. It gives inaccurate information says I have the health fitness of a 56-year-old and says I slept for 14 hours last night, which is not true! I work out probably 10 hours a week. I’m physically fit, healthy, and strong. I’m 31 for reference.

There is no settings menu. For some reason the temperature is in Celsius even though my watch and phone record them in Fahrenheit.

The newest update is a clear indication that the app is getting somewhere with a great potential. I like it and recommend it.

The UI was never the highlight of this app, but now you can only see one thing at a time. It would be fine if could zoom in to see one insight at a time, but… this seems more like the UI for a watchOS app than an iPhone app. If you’re dead set on this approach, related insights should be on one screen. For example, all the sleep information should be grouped together.

I want to like it- I appreciate the minimalistic approach UI-wise, but certain numbers are questionable. I slept 5 hours last night but for some reason it says I slept 9.5 hours.
