Congrats! I've been wanting exactly this app. I paid $5.99 for HealthFit trying to get similar information, but it doesn't (afaik) show the weekly/daily zone summaries. I'd really love to see last week's information. Especially since you launched on a Monday, I'd love to have a new-user experience that shows me last week's info. Other misc feedback: 1. Upon launching the app, I didn't see any data. Had to go into the…
I like this visualization! I'm not doing a kind of training these days where it would be useful for me, but I wish I'd known about something like it when I was. Do you support Apple watch? I never actually targeted that or owned one (I like a much more stylish smartwatch!) and thus don't immediately know how to spot that integration on an App Store detail page, hence the need to ask. But I get the sense a lot of folk…
Heart rate zone training is always useful for general health. Unless you have an ultra terminal illness you would probably benefit from some zone 2 training...basically just a brisk walk(where you can still have a conversation, but you feel like you're putting in more work than sitting on a couch, probably around 125 bpm) for 45 mins 2 or 3x a week will greatly improve the heart health for most people.
Can an iPhone app figure out your blood pressure (with sufficient reliability)?
Not now, but future Apple Watches are rumored to track blood pressure through analysis of pulse transit time: https://www.empirical.health/blog/apple-watch-blood-pressure...
Congrats on the launch! I really would have thought it’s already part of the iOS built in apps! You mentioned it’s your first app. Did you vibe code your way through it or did you heavily use AI? I played around with Swift SwiftUI and I felt that AI helped me a lot in contrast to my day to day job, humongous code base, I can’t get AI to get those mythical 100x productivity gains, more like 0.37x, but for new projects…
Okay, admittedly I'm somewhat of a greybeard by this point... However... I thought that vibe coding was .... exactly heavily using AI... I know this not the place; but what exactly is your definition of 'vibe coding' since you've used it with such confidence in your comment perhaps you can enlighten this programmer..
Vibe coding is when you disregard the code altogether and build something throwaway for fun that you don’t care about maintaining:
> There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. […] It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

about 2. from my understanding good ratings and usage would help the ranking in app stores. But I don't expect some good positioning there (already) with an app being 4 days old.

This is a horrible abuse of computing power, but what I do is track my heart rate zones in Polar Beat (for my brand of heart rate monitor), and then I just screenshot the summary page for the workout. Then, once every week or two, I just dump my screenshots into Gemini and ask it to produce a report, where I get things like weekly averages, moving averages, highs & lows, etc.
Clean and simple. There are a million apps that over think this, have weird onboarding, and aren't nearly this useful. Thank you!
Not sure if it is mentioned in the app description, but how is heart rate calculated? Using the Apple Watch?

> I really would have thought it’s already part of the iOS built in apps! Between the Apple Watch and Fitness app, you can see your heart rate zone during a workout, and then review workout heart rates/zones over time afterward. https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/view-heart-rate-zones-...
Also I have a coworker who is never actively tracking the workouts in the gym. As I'm using all heart rate measurements, I would still give you an idea of you zones. Also if you run up the stairs Heart Rate Zones Plus might catch that as high zone.
In addition the calculation methods of Apple for the Zones are just "one method" I added a few more options I found in scientific literature of how to estimate, because depening on you fitness and body in general it may be different for you.
