Buyer beware

I rarely write reviews but this was so bad I just had to warn others. Since I got my Apple Watch Ive been trying to find a way to simply use the heart rate monitor the way a basic heart rate monitor worked 20 years ago. All I want is a reliable heart rate with the ability to set up alerts for target zones and workout in those target zones for a set time. I dont want to have separate setting for biking, running, walking or badminton (no joke, this app has a badminton setting. How effing helpful) Simple right? Wrong. I was amazed that I couldnt find an app like that. This looked promising, but... The app, in order to have any real functionality, requires in app purchases and an $80 chest strap. The description of what you get for your $8 app purchase was terrible but I tried it out. There are 6 preset target zone workouts and no ability to customize them. BS. The directions and support are either totally missing or amateurishly awful. And the chest strap wouldnt pair with the app. It paired with my iPhone 6s, but not the Polar app. Did my best to follow their terrible troubleshooting guide from support page with no success. Even the "contact us" form on the support page doesnt work. Its all pretty useless. I couldnt be more disappointed; the app, the chest strap and the support are all unusable.
