Hey all. I just launched a new version of my app called Exert. The app brings your workout stats into a single place, so you don't need your iPhone to review your training routine.

I'd love some feedback, so I'm giving out promo codes for the first 5 people who comment in this thread.

Please check it out on the AppStore! https://apple.co/342UbIJ

What is the app about?

My Apple Watch has been part of my training routine for the past 3 years. I have found that there are many apps that are great for collecting your data during your workouts. Others are great at displaying details about individuals workouts.

Few of them help you to get the overview of your routine.

I often found myself asking:
  • How many times have a trained in the last week?
  • Was it only light workouts? What was the intensity of my training?
I found myself using many different apps to answer these questions. Most times, I'd have to use my iPhone as well.

With Exert, I can get this information in a single app, on my wrist, and without the need for an iPhone.

This is what it looks like.

How does it work?

Exert reads your workout data from Health, analyses it and visualises it. Everything is done locally on the Watch, so there is no need for an iPhone and your data is stays private on your watch.

Here are the key features:
  • Independent watch app The app operates without needing a phone nearby. Perfect if you like to workout without your phone.
  • Beautiful data visualisation Collect and visualise and all your training data into a single place, accessible directly on your Apple Watch.
  • Apple Health integration The app integrates with Apple Health and will import data from any app that uses it to store data.
  • Heart rate zone analysis Improve your performance with intensity feedback based on heart rate zones. The app analyses your workouts and gives each workout an intensity rating based on your heart rate.
  • Frequency analysis Monitor your exercise frequency to ensure you are sticking to your routine. Easily see when you are keeping up with your habit or need to back on track.
Would love your feedback, so download it on AppStore now! https://apple.co/342UbIJ

I just bought it but, to be honest, I find it very disappointing and a waste of money. There is no way to adjust pretty much anything. How do you calculate the max heart rate? The provided data has no meaning if you don’t explain how it’s calculated.
Sorry 😐

Thank you testing it out and taking the time to write! Feedback is important to me, as I want to improve the app.

Sorry that you don't feel it's worth the money. Unfortunately you have to process refunds through the App Store.

In the app, your max heart rate is calculated using the MaxHR = 207.0 - 0.7*Age.

If you are keen on giving more feedback: What would want to adjust to make the app better for you?

I started the refunding process already, thanks for pointing that out.
I would like to adjust the max heart rate to start with. Whatever method you’re using it is very generic. I’m 52 but my max heart rate is 182 (tested during indoor run in clinic). According the method you’re using it is only 170. That is a huge difference and changes all the heart rate zones.
Like I said, I’m not seeing the €2,29 value at the moment but I’m not saying it might be in the (near) future.
I’m happy to do some more testing and give you feedback if you appreciate it.

Ah, I see. That is a great suggestion! Thank you. I can give you a promo code so you can download it for free? Appreciate any feedback I can get.

I'm fixing the promo codes right now, but can't figure out how to sent private message. Thanks for your patience.

Yes, I’m interested in a promo code. Much appreciated.

I have turned on all the Exert permissions under Health but, it isn’t seeing any workouts in the last 7 days, which is incorrect. I restarted the watch and still get the message. I use the “WorkOutDoorw” app for my exercise, and it uses the Apple Watch to get data.

Apple Health shows my workouts as well.

Darn. Don’t know what the problem is.

That's not good! Thanks for letting me know. I have not tested with that app specifically.

Just downloaded so I can test and diagnose the issue.
