Eclipse Yourself Reviews

Unlike AutoSleep and HeartWatch, EclipseYourself is quite underwhelming.
Interestingly, this is also the Dev's venture into a subscription based revenue model vs. one time purchase. It's difficult for Dev's across the board to see the bigger picture when looking at the prospect of ongoing subscription based revenue, especially if investors are involved.

However, marketing studies show (and I am a marketing exec) the consumer's growing distaste for subscription based models and their felt need for
alternatives. Dev's that understand this and offer alternatives will attract the increasing number of users looking minimize their outflow to subscription based services and products.

Unfortunately, most devs have gotten away from releasing new versions of an app that require a new purchase, often discounted for users upgrading from a previous version, allows the devs to generate revenue from new and existing, while creating brand loyalty by rewarding existing users with an upgrade discount. Admittedly, that would be a shift in mindset for mobile app users, but it's not unprecedented and users will adapt when faced with subscription based alternatives.

In the time I’ve used EclipseYourself it has been an ok mirror of how I feel - and that’s both the power and flaw of it. If I’m already aware that (eg) I’m feeling sluggish, it isn’t that useful for an app to tell me that I’m right! It is interesting but not especially actionable. The most useful reading is recovery - if that’s out of balance it reinforces that I should take a nap and perhaps ease off a bit where I can. Fine. Readiness is more frustrating- when that’s out of balance, there’s not a lot I can do and not a lot that is useful about that knowledge. Sometimes it tells me I’m out of balance but I feel great - how is that helpful? Other times I’m in balance but feel below par - is the contradiction useful?

I really like the idea of tracking various variables, but I struggle with it being useful to me. So I’ve stopped.

While this navel gazing app is perfect for the overly self absorbed, the practical value is limited, the novelty and entertainment value expires as quickly as the free trial, and the depth of the analysis is shallower than a puddle on a hot August afternoon.

There is a lack of clarity to questions (does experiencing a major illness include long term/lifelong chronic conditions, or are they asking only about exigent conditions?)

Other types of questions might better be answered with a little guidance from EclipseYourself , which in most cases has access to a lot of data about you in Apple Health. Why not put all that information to work, along with the general fund of medical knowledge, to suggest appropriate answers to questions such as the amount of sleep you need. And why not make those answers more readily available for editing and fine tuning?

In the end this is app which charges us a monthly fee to share with us a bit of information of which every human is already intrinsically, viscerally aware. How do I feel, and is this a good day or a crappy one. No doubt this is an essential for a certain class of “special” people, but utilty for the rest of us will require a lot more work to produce an app which is not only visually attractive, but practical and substantive.

I’m trying EclipseYourself out right now and I’ve been sick during the entire trial period. It says I’ve been doing ”extreme training” and therefore my recovery/readiness is poor. I filled out the wellness survey each day and marked that I was sick, but it doesn’t change. What does it mean when it says you are doing “extreme training” but YOU AREN'T HARDLY MOVING due to illness???? Is there an accuracy problem? Or is it saying something about my HRV? There’s just no explanation, so all this data is not helpful for me… I’m also worried that it’s always going to tell me that I have poor recovery/readiness and discourage me from being active…

I love the other apps from this dev so I’ve been excited to try EclipseYourself. It has a lot of potential, and I can’t wait for it to fulfill that. In its current state, it crashes quite a bit (iPhone 14 pro, 17.3.1 and Watch 7), and it doesn’t sync automatically. I had to keep double checking AutoSleep to make sure it had recorded my sleep, since EclipseYourself said no sleep recording. The info is a little hard to interpret. I also wish it would have an idea if tomorrow morning is good for a work out, assuming I sleep a full night. I usually workout before work, so this is info that would be helpful before bed.

This is the beginning of a useful health app. It does show me an accurate picture of how I am feeling. It’s just hard to tell exactly what I should do to feel better and improve the areas that are lacking. For example, it is saying that my recovery is lacking each day and it keeps getting worse. But I’m not sure what I should do to improve that. But overall I think with more fine tuning and more stats and info this will be an incredibly valuable app to TRACH overall fitness.

Poor recovery metrics should feed the overall one-number/one-phrase readiness score. If EclipseYourself could distill all the underlying data it already collects into a single score, then users who feel their one-number readiness score may not accurately reflect their own waking experience could dig into all the factors EclipseYourself is using… but otherwise there is currently too much scrolling required and too much data presented in order to get EclipseYourself ’s subjective assessment.

Love the other programs by this developer and so wanted to also try this. The jury is still out for my one week trial so I’ll bite for an annual since it’s reasonable. I HATE subscriptions since I’m old and I’m afraid I’ll croak and my grandkids will still be paying this every month in perpetuity. But I’m curious as to what they’ll be able to do with this now that they have my extra $20. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. I do like all the pretty colors.

EclipseYourself is terrific. I reached to their support on a Friday night with some suggestions and got a response with a link to “how to” in an hour.

Only feedback is to have a set of history rings for each previous day like they have in HeartWatch or Sleepwatch to help monitor progress in greater detail than that can be seen on the graph.

When I first read about EclipseYourself while reading the HeartWatch help files at first I thought it was an app mainly for elite athletes. The marketing makes it seem that way, but after trialing it I've found it also works for people like me who are potatoes and maybe go on a walk a few times a day at most.

It's like the Activity rings in the stock Fitness app but takes into consideration overall wellness, not just being active. Getting a lot of movement done is great and all but it should also be backed by good rest and mental well being.

I also appreciate how there's *zones* for activity levels rather than a fixed number to aim for. Two zones in fact, one for getting in better shape and one for maintaining good health on those chill-out/break days.

What I would like to non-urgently see in the future is some extra goodies like adjusting heart rate zones to "heart reserve" method and some more home screen widgets and Apple Watch complications. But beyond that no major complaints so far. Great complementary app to HeartWatch and AutoSleep.

Obsessed with EclipseYourself. Love the overview of my sleep, activity and mental alertness. Not only is it proving to be accurate after two weeks of use, it’s actually encouraging me to sleep more, be more active and more aware of my needs. I pair it with the AutoSleep app, which is how I found Eclipse, and in my 38 years I haven’t found a tool as effective as this pair of apps to get me sleeping better and moving more. It’s freaking genius and I love it and it’s cheap and it’s worth it and you should immediately download it and use it because of all the reasons above. App developers - you’re the GOATS and I love you all 💗💗💗

Isn’t that’s what AI is for? Let’s get those done and I’ll be willing to pay a little more! Also, make the voice of the speaker a doctor or authority voice! Don’t start voice automatically, have voice indicators on the screen that I reading!

Also, after finishing workout, in the wellness survey keep account of what I did previously yesterday for that work and keep the same setting when EclipseYourself requests your survey. I shouldn’t have to put the same values everyday, I should only have to put any notes!

Finally, there should an final day review also audible when I can see what I did today and what you suggest I can do next as the next stage ie you did a flexibility work for 15min how about segmenting your workouts? Or increase… you have all of the health data. Maybe it’s there and I haven’t seen it yet!

That’s all, great work so far and leaning a lot. Focus forward!

I took to EclipseYourself very slowly but over some time I learned to appreciate its balancing act and how it worked. It is very helpful to understand how the three factors work together to promote and improve a balanced life. It’s very satisfying to reach the ‘everything is in balance’ today.

I do try and check it daily and I appreciate and like the music used for wake ups. It’s that wonderful alarm music.

And EclipseYourself works! It has improved my sleep and how I enter the day and keep my attitude positive.

I’m a huge advocate and fan of AutoSleep and HeartWatch, Eclipse Yourself definitely follows suit! Finding the ideal number of hours and what it takes to get great sleep without having to deal with the hassle of a fixed sleep schedule has been immensely beneficial. Usually in the morning I do a quick glance at Eclipse to check how well everything is in balance.

After many evaluations I can say it’s pretty darn accurate and my mind doesn’t have to get bogged down by details right when I wake up. I’m always looking for ways to optimize my life and this trip of apps has significantly improved the quality of my life. These, proper nutrition, intense exercise and extremely efficient sleep.. you have to put in the actual work after all.

While the apps won’t magically improve you, they are blissful experience to use and make tracking a lot of great statistics quite easy. Combining custom focus modes with the wide assortment of widgets = effortless logging. It’s actually been enjoyable to discover correlations in the data and dial in my “routine”.

Thank you 🙏

I’ve been a user and huge champion for AutoSleep and HeartWatch since 2018. I recommend both to everyone that has an Apple Watch. There is a lot of data available in the two applications, which I’ve discovered that Eclipse brings together in an easy to understand interface. It’s very useful to get that quick snapshot and also dive further into details. It’s helpful to learn what attributes indicate and impact recovery and readiness.

Everyday my day begins with how I prepared my body the day before. Eclipse helps me to make SMART choices to guide me in getting the most and giving the most I can to the people, events and places I encounter each day.
I have coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation that have challenged me to be more AWARE of my heart. Eclipse is a true gift and guide as I navigate my health issues during these twilight years! Thank you for this application.

I’ve been using Eclipse for about one month now. I really like the eclipse concept and how it equates to a sort of holistic picture of one’s health. Not only does it track pretty accurately how I’m feeling, it allows me to pick out specific focus areas to improve upon. I’m sleeping more and trying to keep my activity in the fast lane!
Worth the learning curve to figure out what all the different metrics mean exactly.

I am impressed with this wonderful intuitive app. I am impressed with this ability to use the data from my Iwatch. The goal of EclipseYourself is to create “balance” for all-around health and performance.
Thank you, creators, for sharing with the world your outstanding concept, visuals, accurate data, and information. Way to go! Bravo!
I can not wait to see your next project. Very cool 😎

EclipseYourself works well in conjunction with my health related apps on my iPhone and Apple watch. most is the synthesis of information it’s pretty consistently accurate with how I actually feel which means to me that the metric is spot on.
I’ve received great support from the support team. Pretty much unmatched by any other app as far as support goes. I give it two thumbs up for sure.

Interesting app. I’ve travelled a great deal for many years, earned quite some immunity and experienced the normal creaks of age, but choose to adapt and keep a reasonable pace.
EclipseYourself has taken me quite some time to warm up to, but it tracks my state well enough and is the only thing that has ever given me a sense of how to think of HRV and use it to inform my pace.
Worth the price of admission.
