Contact 7 Minute Workout Support

Not sure why this is, but when this app detects that the phone is paired with a heart rate monitor, it starts narrating the most useless information and there is no way to turn it off. This is annoying when you want to listen to music because the voice is constantly talking over it.

It does its best to try and detect that you've done something and keep track of repetitions, and it will count along. However the number it speaks doesn't always line up with reality, so you end up spending your time with a machine babbling out unstoppable nonsense numbers while you're keeping a real count in your head. It's annoying. You can change the accent, gender, pitch, and speed of the voice, but you can't turn it off.

For now the app is much nicer to use without a heart rate monitor.

I love the concept and it helps me get my heart rate up every day without feel like I need to block out a large chunk of my day.
BUT not too long ago it was bought back by the original developers and they took away all the free in app add on. Don’t get me wrong, there was always extras you could pay for; but I miss the old developers platform.
The old app you had 2 free 7min workouts (a little variety is always nice) and a calendar that tracked what days you worked out, you could also tweak how long your exercise and rests in between were, making it possible to slowly progress you workout as you got stronger!
Now you only have one 7min workout, no calendar or changing the base workout with out paying. It is a one time $2.99(each) for the several other workout options or you can pay $10 for everything.
It’s just sad they took the only way I can continuously use this app.. at some point in order to progress my strength/endurance, I’ll have to find something different that can grow with me.

I’ve been using another 7 minute workout app for the past 2 years every single day. When I bought my Apple Watch it wasn’t set up to work in tandem so I downloaded this app and paid the $49 lifetime upgrade only to find the Apple Watch app fails to sync with the phone app which means my workouts aren’t counting toward closing the rings.

I like that with the upgrade you can customize your workouts but what’s the point if it doesn’t record the activity on your watch? If they can fix this bug I’ll give it 4 stars.

If they want to get to 5 stars they will have to replace their 1980s computer generated voice that just sounds horrible and does nothing to motivate you. At least make the voice sound like Siri or something. The voice trying to sound motivating by saying things like “high five” and “you look like you could do it again” actually do the opposite of motivate. It’s demeaning to think a human would actually be motivated by such horrible replication of a human voice.
