HRV4Training

Ive tried almost every HRV app I can get my hands on in the App Store This is on my short list of go to apps for giving valuable information about your parasympathetic nervous system activity over time I love it My only complaints are that the reminders are buggy turning vibration off doesnt really turn it off and I would like more contrast in the colors on the breath pacer                 Great job Marco

No matter what settings I try the test takes several minutes and the breathing rate is way too slow Although it looks like you can set it for a one minute test those options do not workplease fix or refund my money        Options dont work

I love this app except that every time I try to reset my password it crashes and fails to send me the email Im locked out of my data until this is fixed              Cant reset password

Developer Marco Altini is a PhD researcher in HRV and other biometrics It shows in this app because you get an in depth look at all HRV metrics over time as well as your personal annotations Outstanding and constantly enhanced with new features William Croft                 Best HRV app for monitoring recovery stats

Old review from mid 2014 I tried this app for the convenience of the camera option because fiddling with a chest strap first thing in the morning did not appeal to me Also I have friends using a more popular HRV app that have trouble with their HR strap and finger sensor not always working correctly This app is no frills but is cheap and seems to be accurate in evaluating my condition I wish it had a way to note sleep quality and life stress too since they certainly impact my HRV as much as a workout the standing and compare functions do not work since it always defaults to lying Maybe that functionality will be added some day The position of my finger on the lense took a little while to get just right but now I get it every time After ten weeks of using this app every morning I can recommend it as a solid simple tool Updated review September 2015 Marco has made numerous nice enhancements to this app which now make it more accurate interesting and valuable than ever before I have use this app for over a year now and plan to continue using it It helps keep me from over training and helps me plan the intensity of my workouts in addition Marco provides interesting analyses on his website He also is quick to answer any questions that I have had Thank you Marco                 From good to great

Looking forward to learn more about my body Daje Marco                 Works great

Measuring HRV can be a super helpful thing to get into for anyone athletic out there looking to improveevaluate themselves and their training This app takes all the guesswork and complication out of itwith all the complex stats and features still available for nerds like me Camera measurements are pretty accurate keep them short thoughholding the phone can actually raise your heart rate a teeny bit The only gripe I have is that sometimes youll get random 40 bpm spikes and it will ruin your test I plan on getting the Polar monitor only about 40 on amazon soon so my tests will be much more accurate All in all if you want to measure HRVshell out the couple bucks for this app and dont bother with anything else Its all you needand all youll want once you start analyzing your own data              Best HRV App

Developers have been really working to make this app better Its much more usable and using the camera seems to be more reliable              Better every update

Crashes right at the end every time I try to do a test Waste of money     Useless

Ive had trouble with overtraining for a couple of years I even went to a heart specialist and tried a heart monitor for about a month He couldnt find any problem and referred to a another heart specialist who specializes in the electric part He found nothing During this time I found that I could cause the fluttering by working out Ive started using this app with the finger test but found the results were not accurate enough Im now using a chest strap that works for the iPhone and the results are much more consistent I havent used this enough to make a judgment Ill update this review in a week or two But so far it looks promising                 Trying it out

Glad to see the recent update made my Wahoo TICKR monitor work Love the new interface                 Great update

Title says it all Ive tried several times to get a reading with the camera but it will not work Id like a refund or a fix please     does not work

Love the teaching this app does to help me not just measure but understand what these numbers mean Been using for a good 6 months without issue and the reliability behind getting a reading on the first shot has been fantastic way more so than many others                 Reliable and informative

I use this app every day It works well with the camera as a sensor Ive never compared it to a heart rate monitor but it reflects how my body feels and shows a huge difference on days when Ive rested I highly recommend athletes use this to avoid over training                 Great app

I wanted to see if I could measure HRV without expensive sensors so I tried this app It detects my heart rate fairly accurately for almost a minute and then it starts to jump wildly often 50 beats above what its supposed to be I guess Ill have to try the app again when I finally do get a sensor since it seems the camera mode lacks accuracy           Camera mode too fickle

Im not pleased to use this app I now need to create an account I personally dont find the accumulated data collected is worth savingsyncing if I delete the app        High initial friction

Ive used most of the apps available and this is the best Ive found A key feature is that it will upload your data to dropbox as a CSV for more detailed analysis                 Best HRV app for athletes

Doesnt work at all ever Refund please Its a nonfunctional sham app     Refund Please

I have been using this application now for the last month It surpasses the two other HRV applications that I tried Things that really standout 1 Easy to use 2 Actionable advice 3 The creator has spent a great amount of effort to educate users through his blog However what I really love is you can download your data in raw form straight to excel for your own analysis You should own your data and this app lets you while others do not I highly recommend HRV4Training and the blogwebsite that goes along with it After I have used it longer 6 months as opposed to 1 month I will return to update my review Until then download it use it and trainrecover smarter                 Solid HRV Application
