Seeing real-time heart rate is useful, but watching how it varies over a longer period of time gives you much more information, especially when trying to understand how your body is responding to training. Heart Graph can be used for all types of aerobic exercise including running, cycling, rowing or gym work, and of course you can also use it to study your heart rate for general health reasons too.

When it comes to working out, your body is different every day and it is easy to over-train or take it too easy. Perhaps you're tired from work or have a minor illness - it can be better to do a lighter session and give your body time to recover. Or maybe this is one of those days when you don't feel fully motivated, but actually your body is ready for anything! Heart rate monitoring is an invaluable tool for helping to judge how hard your workout should be, and providing data for comparing your performance between sessions to maximise the benefits of your training. Heart Graph supports both basic and advanced analysis, including:
* Display a plot of heart rate against time from workouts or for other periods of activity
* Review all your workouts offline to spot trends in your training
* Add your own notes to each workout (session details, general health etc.), and search for workouts based on notes you've entered
* Share workout data with friends via email and Facebook
* Device rotation to landscape for iPhone and iPod touch maximises screen area for graphs
* Record data in the background if you want to use other heart rate apps as well
* Integration with Health: import existing heart rate data (e.g., from your Apple Watch) and store workouts and calories burned

Beyond the basics, a single In-App Purchase will enable the Premium Features of the app, giving you access to more in-depth comparison and features to support your workout:
* View the time spent in each of five configurable heart rate zones
* Calculate calories burned, and set a calorie target for each workout
* Import data from the Health app for custom time periods of up to 24 hours
* Compare statistics (such as max, mean and resting heart rate) over time
* Import and export workout data from other apps or your computer using Garmin TCX format files
* Export data to CSV files for further analysis in software such as Excel (by email or Dropbox)
* Attach an image of your heart rate graph or zone summary to emails for sharing with others
* Design your workouts in advance - plan each set and control when you're ready to move to the next
* Record resting heart rate over a period of up to 10 minutes
* Audio rep counting so you never lose count - simply make a noise every time you complete a rep and the app does the rest
* Automatic time-based sets lets you know when the set is done - no more watching the clock
* Graphs are marked with different colours for rep- or time-based sets to record the details of each workout
* The end of each set is recorded on the graph so you can monitor how your heart rate falls when the work is over
* Perform side-by-side comparison of the reference sets from multiple selected workouts
* Share your workout plans with friends and other Heart Graph users

IMPORTANT NOTE: use of Heart Graph requires an external sensor to record heart rate data, for example:
* A low-energy bluetooth (BTLE) sensor such as the Wahoo Tickr / Polar H7 chest straps, or the Mio Alpha watch
* An Apple Watch or other source that writes heart rate data to the Health app
* An ANT+ sensor connected using the Wahoo Fitness ANT+ key
We only support data from the Mi sensor when imported from Health.

Awesome app
mark11995533

If you are at all interested in tracking your heart rate during workouts, this app is for you. You can use default heart rate zones based on your age or if you feel those aren’t appropriate you can customize your zones. With the auto-import feature, workouts you start on your Apple Watch will show up in this app and workouts you start in the Heart Graph app will show up in your iPhone activity app. For every workout you can see a beautiful color coded graph of your heart rate showing what zones you were in and if you swipe the data area at the top of the graph you can see exactly how much time you spent in each zone. Once you’ve accumulated some workouts, the analysis function will show you how much time you’ve spent in each zone on a weekly and monthly basis. I’m 67 so theoretically my max heart rate is 153. I was hitting 165 in workouts with my trainer and then feeling totally wiped out for the next day or two. Heart Graph to the rescue. I used the alarm feature to warn me when I get to 145 heart rate so I can dial back my effort and keep my heart rate below 150. Now I get a great workout without feeling ill afterwards. I absolutely love this app. I have to warn you, when I first got the app I found it a bit confusing, but it didn’t take long to get the hang of it. Just have a bit of patience, play around with the features and you will be well rewarded. I recommend shelling out the $3 for the premium version immediately. It’s less than a cup of coffee at Starbucks and it’s a one time charge, not a monthly fee. Some of the features I mentioned above are only in the premium version so it’s well worth the price.


Not Great
Dogfishstorm

Many of the premium features are not all that useful and buried under pay screens even after you paid for the premium features. The effect is being constantly nagged for money even when you coughed up the money. Annoying.


Sweet app

Gives a great graph. I love to compare the graphs for an old workout to a new workout to see how my heart rate tracked during each session. Once you figure out the user interface it is a great tool. Awesome. Thanks for a cool app.


Easily compare workouts
besthiker

You can easily track your efforts over time for any activity that is a similar route (swimming, biking, walking, running). Look at trends or compare days of week or time if day.


Great app
haileyrosey

App monitors my heart rate as I workout. It’s exactly what I was looking for & needing.


Great app
Lotus_xk

Way better than polar app that came with my polar HR monitor. Love that you can save data , write notes about what you were doing, zoom in and out, record for extended periods of time (like even overnight!). Has been very helpful for me! Highly recommend purchasing this app


Gem of an app
Flanneryo

Using this to monitor HR during daily activities. I need to keep HR <90 due to post-acute Covid issues. This alerts me in real time when HR goes too high. Can use with Apple Watch or polar chest strap. Can also chart my daily heart rate and calculates percent time spent in various HR zones. Simple and consistent.


Great app

Awesome app to monitor heart rate with polar h10 and even Apple Watch. By using it with Apple Watch it allows you to turn on continuous recording. Some recommendations: turn off graph smoothing and turn x axis to clock in settings. Great if you have a medical condition. I recommend developer change it around to make it more friendly with people who aren’t using it just for working out.


Should be included with the health app.
corpsemonger

This is the functionality that the Apple watch should come with for the heart rate sensor. App has difficulty handling long workouts on my iPhone 4s. Lots of room for improvement with intuitive functionality, in context operations and general convenience features.


HRV feature?
Aslan From the Narnia

I like this app, it’s very neat. I really really love to see these 2 features added: 1. HRV measuring 2. Automatic activity recognition? Do you guys think any one of these could happen in near future developments of the app?!
