Gave this 2 stars last year, but now connects really well and is nearly faultless. The only problem is that if you run it in the background on phone it doesn't track the GPS accurately, so it will just draw a straight line between your start and end location which will be a lot shorter than the distance you've walked or run. If you keep it on and locked it uses a lot more battery...

GPS and pace calculation very inaccurate. Heart rate was accurate at first, but seems to be getting less accurate (compared to manual). Maybe battery is getting flat, but there's no indication of this in the app. The fitness test keeps failing, with message "your heart rate is too high" even though app's own reading shows no higher than 65 bmp for the whole time. Would be good to have audio cues when going in and out of different zones. Not great support for interval training.

A fantastic app for keeping track of your heart during a workout or activity, but I feel that it really misses out on the lack of an ECG display when used with H9 or H10 ECG sensors. I would prefer not to have to download a third-party app to get a readout graph of this. Otherwise a great, user-friendly and intuitive app with a reasonable data breakdown after the activity has been stopped.

I have had to unpair H10 with app numerous times because of slow or no response I've also had to uninstall and reinstall the polar app and it's still not great. I've fitted new battery and made sure the electrodes are wet. It worked fine when new but now I find it frustrating and it causes me to lose focus on my indoor rowing work outs. Please help!!!!

I just downloaded it couple of days ago, and I already like it how I can still use an old heart rate chest band I got. Also it gives you feedback while exercising to which intensity profile you're leaning into. Which works great as I don't have any other gadget or watch for that matter. It amazed me that I also could use it for Les Mills Programs and a wide variety of other activities. Seems like you could also use it without a heart rate reader too. Love the stats it provides you ❤️

I hate to turn on Google precision for GPS and this application requires it! I've got other applications (Mi Fit, Adidas Runtastic) and they just work without this need. If I'm not wrong, you are talking about BLE scanning that requires Google precision, not connection itself. So, why your application needs to scan each time the same bluetooth device? If it is already paired, what for? Again, l've got Mi Band & Mi Fit, they use Bluetooth to connect to each other, they don't need this precision.
