Heart Rate Monitor

BM innovations GmbH

About this app

Innovative display and documentation of the heart rate in combination with a Bluetooth Smart chest belt.
After the configuration of the individual settings and training zones, and a connection to the chest belt the heart rate is visualized as an absolute value of beats per minute and as a percentage of the stored maximum heart rate value of the user. Additionally, the deviation (variability) of the separate heart beats is displayed in milliseconds. The different training zones are individually colored and easily comprehensible.
After starting the recording, the statistical values (MAX, AVG, and MIN) are updated continuously. Furthermore, the intensity of the training (TRIMP, CR10, kcal, a timeline of HR, zone duration) is displayed as an accumulated sum, as percentages, and as a graph.
Recorded training sessions can be documented and shared in several ways like Dropbox, email, or others. The recording produces a summary of training results as a PDF file and a CSV file containing the raw training data.
Best results will be achieved with the recommended chest belt from BM innovations GmbH.

Ratings and reviews

After the last update to 1.2.4(16) if the sensor disconnects before the workout is stopped, the data is blank when reviewing. It worked fine before, and the data was recorded before the sensor disconnected, but disappeared. Still rating 5 stars because the app is simple and useful. When the sensor disconnects, the app now gives a disconnected message.

This app just works (with my Garmin chest strap). I don't have to register, I don't have to input all my personal details. It just tells me my heart rate, nice and simple. I like that it creates a time chart of my workout and saves it so I can see my progress. My only complaint is that I wish I could save a note with each workout to remember what exercises I did. But still this is the best HRM app I've found.

Works very good but cannot record in background. I like the straighforward an minimalistic design. One serious flaw is, that a record will (most of the time) not continue in the background (Android 12) - so you are limited if you want to record some hours of data while doing other things. I noticed it will sometimes work if you not dismiss the app with the homebutton but via the app drawer but this is not reliable... If the developer fixes this it would be perfect...
