CardioBot: Heart Rate Monitor Reviews

by Cbirn557

I paid for CardioBot. And then you release an update that removes features I used to have (that I paid for) and are now only available with an in app purchase of a subscription. DELETE.
I have no problem buying apps, or giving in app tips, or paying for special features but the whole subscription process is ridiculous when you do so by removing features people already paid for. That’s a low move on the developers part.

Terrible. You should have left it alone was my favorite app.

Your new features are useless... can get those free in Apple Health instead of paying you. Your old interface was beautiful... and it had all the history I could use. I paid for your app and you ruined it. Deleting it from my phone. My wife hasn’t and won’t upgrade your app so she still enjoys the old one.

First of all, there is so much bad English grammar it makes it hard to even understand what CardioBot is talking about at times.

Worse, it keeps alternating between telling me I have bradycardia and tachycardia and “Bad overall physical activity state” (what does that even mean.) Yesterday it said my sedentary heart rate of 59 was “Too high and looks like tachycardia “… Seriously? (by the way my resting heart rate is 46)

By all standards known to me, I am a completely healthy, very physically fit person with a normal EKG and normal heart who does both cardio and fitness training on a regular basis.

Given all of this I would not trust a word that CardioBot says And it looks to me like it’s offering unqualified medical advice… Is this allowed?

I like CardioBot, however in the trend section, my daily average heart rate calendar is blank. I have a Apple Watch, I routinely exercise and all the inputs turned on and I am subscribed to cardio bot pro. Wish this would get fixed.

by Bocadave

Surprise! Now one must upgrade to pay pro version to receive years of previously stored logged information, that was customarily available for viewing at no cost on the previous version. In the future, please consider providing ample notice so that a user may save stored information. Also, the new very bright layout is a detractor to the very superior prior format that was used to motivate the public.
Thank you

CardioBot appears to be useful. However, I keep getting elevated heart rate notices when my heart rate is well below the threshold I've set for the native heart rate app for my Apple Watch S3. I can't see anywhere in the this app app where I can adjust settings for this. The developer's website for CardioBot simply takes me to a one-page app preview that's not helpful. What am I missing?

Review update: I've had to dump CardioBot on both my watch and iPhone because of the all-too-frequent elevated heart rate notifications. The native iOS health app and other heart monitoring apps convinced me that the this app app results were unreliable in this regard.

I do appreciate the developer's response, and I may try CardioBot again after the next significant update. It does look to have quite useful potential.

I originally was happy with CardioBot . Gave me information I wanted in an easy to read format.
The update however not such. All I see now is bad overall physical performance? No matter the quality , duration etcbof a workout

by Goin2kinja4Ever

I like the way it’s laid out but you don’t provide definitions of each item in the category’s. Ie. Points. Also there should be a way to print a simple report for the trends that you can print.

by Thomaslawyer

This was a great app. It use to be able to see more detailed info about the heart rate. The summary view is to summarized to be able to see if my meditation is working.

by Austin Aggie

Previously CardioBot would calculate 59 hours of sleep in a night. That has been resolved but the weekly average has the same calculation error that was in the daily.

Not a bad app, but needs some attention. The guidance language also is poorly written and hard to understand.

by Dr Papa

Historical data is still there but it isn’t clear how to get to it. Besides the right “>” which should be in bold, the author should consider making the months moveable so that pushing the calendar (and it isn’t clear it is a calendar without labeling month) that there is historical data. These additions would make CardioBot functions more discoverable.

by Ron & Mathew

My this app stopped recording on 12 January. I have deleted it and reloaded it again and again. What’s the problem?
Answer to my problem: I had to restart my I watch as a new watch, not a backup.
Repair my I watch as a new watch, not a back up.

When I go into CardioBot it always defaults to May of 2016. If I want to see the current month I have to scroll down. The sleep tracker is way off. Also it tells me my heart rate is elevated when I’m not wearing my watch.

by Fthenicknamewizard

It’s a nice app but it usually doesn’t give me credit for my walking minutes. Haven’t figured out why like today I walked 51 minutes it only acknowledged 28 minutes. For the week it’s shorted about 1/3 of my walking minutes. Hard to get to serious about CardioBot when it’s so inaccurate. The blood pressure advice varies from my blood pressure app also.

by TitusMagnus

I love CardioBot . It gives me a view of my health/fitness I didn’t know before.

One comment regarding HRV: some of the comments don’t make sense at first glance “12% lower than the baseline”. What does that mean? It would be great if it was followed by an unambiguous sentence that gave some sort of advice: need to increase the workout intensity, or something like that. If not advice, at least some suggestion which would explain what the HRV value really means in relation to the baseline, whatever that means. Thanks!

by Jetmo

Now I lose days because it loses connectivity with my iWatch. It’s becoming undependable. PLEASE NOTE, I did a hard reset on my phone and watch! CardioBot is now responding like the past. Thank you!!!

by Zejio

Idk how accurate it is but it’s cool

Edit/update: This provides great insight to how I workout with it’s workout data and the recommendations are from the American Heart Association so a +1.

by BillS9999

Provides nice set of information in a nice interface.

by JoanneLPN

Great app for keeping track of your daily heart rate. What I like best about it, is it keeps track of your highest and lowest heart rate, and records the time of day each occurs. It also keeps track of your average heart rate.
That average is recorded daily, so you can see from day to day if there are changes that need to be addressed.

by Runonwater

CardioBot provides a wealth of statistics associated with heart rate and other metrics. Daily data are stored, and a number of graphs are presented. Terrific app!

by A.Vince

I use to be able to start a workout via the Apple Watch and measure my heart rate, now I can’t do that. It was my favorite workout app until they updated it. This really upset me as I paid for this apps features and now they’re stripped away. Don’t bother with it.

by Beglhr

CardioBot is working on iphone, but it’s not on Apple Watch.
Uninstalled and installed again. But no Apple Watch app in the watch.

by Lilavred

Tutorial doesn’t explain the readings given by the ap. What does bad overall physical state even mean? No matter how intense the workout that is the reading given.

by Robmontanez

It’s an excellent app that nicely aggregates heart rate data from one’s Apple Watch for analysis.

by PeeJuhl

No hourly data - just averages.

I love CardioBot. Works great. Highly recommended app.

by Anarek

Works great with my new Apple Watch 2 and iPhone 7.
