United StatesThis simple app is designed to do one thing well: alert you when your heart rate goes above and back below a BPM threshold you set. Beat Watcher integrates with the Health app to read your heart rate. Use this app as a way to listen to your body. It can be great for: • recognizing and managing stress • breathing exercises • meditation • working out Some users with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) have found this app helpful for monitoring and managing symptoms. Turn the Digital Crown on Apple Watch to set the desired BPM threshold. Then, you'll hear a sound and feel a vibration when your heart rate goes above the threshold, and a different sound and vibration when your heart rate goes back below the level you set. Optionally turn on Background Mode to continue getting haptic and audible feedback in response to your heart rate after you drop your wrist or leave the app. Enable the Persistent Alerts setting to continue getting haptic and audible feedback every two seconds while your heart rate remains above the set threshold. Or, if you just want constant heart rate monitoring without the haptic and audible feedback, you can turn Alerts off entirely. This app also works with a Bluetooth chest strap heart rate monitor, like the Polar H10, paired with your Apple Watch. Using it this way can improve battery life of the Apple Watch when you leave Background Mode running for a long time, since your Apple Watch heart rate sensor is not running constantly. Also, this lets you continue getting audio feedback from your Apple Watch or see your heart rate on the Apple Watch screen even when you aren't wearing it, like when it's on the charger. Note: Background Mode will not work at the same time as a Workout started in another app. For example, if you start Background Mode in Beat Watcher and then start an Outdoor Run Workout in the built-in Workouts app, Beat Watcher will not continue to run in the background. This app requires watchOS 8 or newer, which requires Apple Watch Series 3 or newer.
This app helped me manage a severe mental disorder. Thank you, Dev!!
This app and its ability to constantly monitor my heart rate and provide me with alerts at certain BPMs has helped me achieve stability by allowing me to better understand my moods and how they affect my heart rate. Thank you so much for creating this!
United StatesGreat app
Great app once I figured out how to configure settings to prevent the app from opening when in constant heart monitoring mode. Highly recommend it.
United StatesPerfect app for my needs
Keeping track of my heart rate continuously throughout the day is critical for addressing my health issues. This is the only app I could find that allows me to see my real time heart rate as a complication (with updates every five seconds like you are in “workout mode”). The ability to run the app in background mode with heart rate alerts is a huge plus. I don’t find it to be a big battery drain, but that would be an acceptable trade off for me personally. I am disappointed that Apple does not allow the user to determine how frequently they want/need heart rate data. * I believe that the description for this app indicated a one time fee of $1.99. This price is well worth it, but I was not charged. Just wanted to let the developer know in case this was an error. Please continue to update the app!
United StatesApple Watch already have a heart monitor
The complications on the Apple watch heart monitor is for more superior. it gives you your current heart rate, your resting heart rate, and your walking average.
United StatesLove it but….
Love this app but it drains the Apple Watch battery really quickly. Im getting about 12 hours of battery life
United StatesJust what I needed!
This app is perfect. I have Long Covid and POTS. This app allows me to see my current HR on my watch face. It also lets you set a HR alarm. It dings down when you go above, and dings up when it’s resolved and you go below. Let’s me know to stop what I’m doing and recover. It’s simple and perfect. Thank you so much!
United StatesWorth it!!
I was skeptical and took me a bit to get it down with figuring out the background mode, but it’s totally worth it!!! I have a medical condition that if my heart rate gets too high I pass out. Before, I wasn’t able to recognize before it was too late. Well now, I can choose when I want to be alerted to try and correct my symptoms early and it works!!!! Best news is, I haven’t passed out at all since installing this. Has literally been a life changer. Thank you 🥰
