Workout Live - Heart Rate Zone

But doesn’t save changes made to custom heart rate zones. Often loses connection with watch.

Wanted to be able to see live stats whilst spinning. Works brilliant. Well worth the download easy to use

Just what I was looking for, particularly with indoor workouts, but is somewhat limited. There is so much information available in the embedded Apple Fitness app, yet the screen real estate on the phone only shows three lines of info. One particular shortfall is not showing heart rate zones - get this sorted (I’d buy it as an in-app purchase) and I’ll definitely use this app all the time. Sadly, it’ll just sit on my screen doing nothing…

It’s about time somebody created an app like this to view live heart rates on screen from workouts. However the information given is very limited and for anyone who uses heart rate based training knows that heart rate zones has a lot more variables that just age. This app really needs the option to be able to create personalised heart rate zones. For me the age based zones are way off. And almost pointless so I need to memorise the numbers and ignore the zones it is telling me.

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.

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!
