Ratings and reviews

app is great with lots of exercise profiles. I kind of missed connection to Google fit. I hope they will support it again. A couple of things this app is missing. 1) alert for sensor. My sensor supports vibration when I reached max HR. This app disabled it or does not support it. 2) zone color not matching. My coospro sensor has zoning color. This app detected my sensor but does not match the color zoning. Other apps do. Otherwise, I would give 5 stars to this app.

Update 8/15/24 - Google is now blocking the app from connecting to Google Fit. Google Fit is my goto fitness tracker for receiving data from all my health tracking devices. The Polar Beat app is the only one being blocked. I downgraded Polar to 2 stars for being noncompliant with Fit. I use the Polar Beat app near daily with my Polar heart rate monitor to track hiking and biking exercise. The system provides valuable feedback on the intensity of my workouts.

The thing I like most about this app is that it is just the basics. No fancy features, no social networking. Just tracking of my activity from my phone with no external devices necessary. Because it is just the basics it does not require much resources and does not drain the battery. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because it does not seem to track elevation. I would have hoped that since it uses the phone GPS it would be able to log elevation as well.
