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

Recent reviews

Using Polar Beat with my H10 just a few weeks now. Sensor seems to work well but this app is wanting. Observations thus far: #1 - When I waited to download a workout I was unable to do so. Tre only way to record my next workout was to delete the old one from my H10. Fail. #2 - Just finding the “save a workout” function is inconvenient. Why hide it under the three-dot menu(top right corner) ? #3 - After you end a workout, you have to restart the app to get the Last Sessions to reappear at the bottom of the Training function. You need to do this before you can get it to sync with Polar Flow. #4 - It loses connection with my H10 & has to be re-paired. This happened today, AFTER I had already connected & was detecting a heart rate. I’d genuinely like to rate it all higher, but this needs refinement.
