Heart Analyzer: Pulse Tracker

Superior App hands down. Having a ugly issue with AFib, I have a need to pay attention. App graphs are amazing, you can easily see a clear picture of heart activity. If you need or want to stay on top of trends and activity then you have reached nirvana with Heart Analyzer. As a major bonus to the app is a developer who is responsive as well as willing to help. I had a issue with my app and sent an email hoping something stupid on my part was the problem. Developer was fast and more than willing to help, turned out to be my watch iOS was the issue and easily fixed. Plain and simple, superior app, fantastic graphics and display, developer willing to help and responsive. Best app I have downloaded in a very long time, thank you Heart Analyzer, you have my full support and gratitude for all of your work to develop this app.

So I got this App because 9to5mac recommended it. After downloading it for whatever reason it wouldn’t show on the watch until I powered down both watch and phone then it finally showed up in my watch apps. My biggest problem is that while sleeping it would run my activity in the background so now upon waking up I already have 600 calories burned, I’ve stood the entire night and almost 100 minutes of exercise. This happened three nights in a row, and I would notice that on the top of my watch it show a white out version of the activity logo. But when I check my workouts nothing was posted, matter a fact none of my workout apps said I did anything. So I was really confused, now this happened when it was a set as a complication on my watch face. I didn’t bother to see if it did the same thing if it wasn’t a complication, but I went ahead and deleted it and now my watch is back to normal. Also during those three times that my watch was going it would almost completely drain my battery.

FYI to athletes looking to track HR Recovery, the “Deep Analytics” HR Recovery functionality is flawed this app. The issue is that most, if not all, workouts will include some kind of a cool down period before completing the workout where much of your HR recovery can be realized. This app isn’t able to recognize that condition. I noticed that my HR Recovery numbers were being scored as “poor” in both the 1-minute and 2-minute periods. My 1-minute recovery is typically 35-38 bpm but this app was reporting only 5-7. Hmmm. That’s when I realized it was only looking at my HR when I clicked “end” on my workout. I then tested the app by performing a workout where I immediately ended the workout without a cool down and it correctly calculated my recovery. So just be warned that if you utilize any kind of cool down, this app will misreport your HR Recovery.

When I first saw all the metrics this apps provides I quickly bought all premium features. Then I noticed that the app would crash when I go into workout data and slide the bottom heart information bar. Right when getting into the “metrics” view. I have rebooted phone, reinstalled app, open and Close the app and done it with and without rebooting phone when doing the app reinstall. I sent an email to the developer but then noticed they say it could take up to 10 WORKING days to respond. I downloaded this app because it was features in 9to5 as amazing which it looks like it is but can’t say if I can’t use one of the main features! Anyways, I know software is unpredictable but when a paid app has this issues (and apparently known based on other reviews) I think is unacceptable. I sent them a video with the exact issue since it only happens on that specific instance just to try to help. I hope it doesn’t take 10 days to get it fixed because I really look forward to use the app.

App was working OK with the expected quirks of a free app. It was not accurate, neither did it work all the time. I was able to track my sleep to a certain extent with the old view. After the latest update, views are just a joke. It takes a PhD to decipher the data under “sleep times”. You can not get a quick glance to see how long did you sleep last night (whether its accurate or not!). You have to stare at the log for a while to extract the info you need! Not sure who recommended this view to the developer! I quit using the app and decided to “offload it” using the new ios11 feature to preserve old readable histories logged before the update. A great example of a decent product with a horrible representation!
