Polar Beat: Running & Fitness App Reviews

Great app with very detailed health and fitness stats

Rad, except it made me write this review

I would have given this app zero stars but thats not an option. I have had a polar H7 HR monitor for years and was excited about trying this app. After downloading and immediately buying the in app upgrade for $10.99 plus tax, Ive tried to use this app all week during training but it will not lock onto GPS and when I touch the start button, the app just crashes. I have already asked apple for my money back, Im just waiting to hear back from them. Very disappointing.....

Would recommend to anyone getting back in shape.

Does not work on iPhone 6. Tried hard resets, nothing works.

Was working great but since the last update the app wont stay open consistently. Tried deleting and reinstalling but that has not fixed the problem. Disappointing as I was really enjoying this app.

I purchased the polar H7 HRM and polar loop 2 fitness tracker. The loop 2 pairs really well with the H7 and I wish I could say the same for the app. Ive never been able to use the H7 for a workout having been paired to the app. It connects to the loop 2 effortlessly as well as the machines at my gym yet it doesnt connect to their own app??? Ive tried everything and then some from the troubleshooting page and nothing works. I once wore it while sitting around the house to see if it would connect at all even and while doing ZERO activity the app recorded a 40min "outdoor" activity... I have no idea whats wrong with this app but I really hope it gets fixed soon. Though I didnt pay the full retail price for the H7 Id hate to have spent money on something I cant even use properly.

I used to love this app, as with the "Benefit Target" in app purchase I can set heart rate alerts. Since the latest update it no longer works properly. It tells me to "speed up" when I am at the top of my desired heart rate. It worked well before, but now even if I change my age and max heart rate in the app and follow the percentages on the accompanying web site perfectly it constantly tells me to speed up. Please bring back this feature! It was very useful and well worth the money.

App has become suddenly unusable - does not track exercises at all: "session terminated" after starting. I used to use it daily - now I cant at all.

After last update app wont stay open or open consistently!

The latest update doesnt work. The app crashes. I have iPhone 5s and latest iOS software. Please fix asap.

This app worked great at first no problems. Then it got an update and know ever time it updates I cannot open it. I reload EVERY TIME and takes anywhere from 5-10 minutes to pair up again inprde to use properly while working out. I do not recommend this app,to,anyone, very frustrating.

This was a solid app until the latest update. Now in order to get it to work I have to reboot my phone each time. Even then it will occasionally crash during an open session which is a royal pain. Looking forward to the update that fixes it.

Was using app since july, it was working great until the last update. First, the foot pod calibration took 4 times before getting the calibration set correctly, distance was off by a lot. The voice updates(speed up, slow down, keep this pace) are off, I am in my zone and it is telling me to speed up. The graph on screen says the right thing however. But the worst is the app freezes on start 9 out of 10 times. Was doing the job but not anymore.

I love this update,,

A great companion for any fitness program and fulfilling those New Years resolutions.

App was crashing everytime I opened unless I turned Bluetooth off ... opened the app... then turned Bluetooth back on... now seems fine after last update... I use the app for Metcon training...would be great if the app had a notes section to log movements,times, weights...(ie a WOD Section) .. help track performance improvement better

Sync with Apple Health and MyFitnessPal is a little shaky but otherwise a solid app

Great app for the most part, but after recent updates there is no weekly total. All experts recommend 150 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise- so it would be perfect if the app could show accumulated minutes for the week.
