User Reviews

Polar Beat on iOS is praised for real-time data and Apple Health integration when it pairs, but suffers from persistent H10 pairing failures, unreliable HR readings, and Bluetooth instability. Many reviews cite long or failed pairings, crashes, and incomplete workout data. UI gaps (no lock-screen widgets, limited zone customization) and concerns about monetization and slow support also recur. A few users report good value and accuracy when it works, but reliability and support remain major issues.

Pros

Real-time workout data and Apple Health integration when the sensor connects
Easy setup and Apple Health linkage praised by some users
Noted high HR accuracy when connected for training data
Good value for money according to several reviews

Cons

Unreliable pairing and frequent disconnects with the H10 heart rate monitor
Inaccurate or missing heart rate readings and distances (HR disappearing)
Frequent Bluetooth/sync issues, long pairing times and unpairs/crashes
UI/feature gaps: lack of live lock-screen metrics, no zone customization, and overall complexity
Privacy/monetization concerns and slow customer support

The app is decent, more or less, but one feature that would help it greatly is if it doesn't detect a great rate after, say 2-3 minutes, it ends the workout. One of my greatest super powers is that i often forget to end the workout so 24-48 hrs later when i go to start a new workout it is still running. This is one of the features that MyZone excelled at when i used that product. Doesn't seem like it should be that challenging to add an auto end

This app isn’t too bad if you have a Polar chest strap but it would be nice if it supported Live Activities so I didn’t have to open my phone every time to see my heart rate zone, time, distance, etc. I’d also like to be able to make settings adjustments during a workout, such as voice guidance.
