FITIV Pulse - Workout Tracker 4+

Problems Solved

(July 20,2022) Over four years and still my go-to fitness app. It’s great. Update three (March 1, 2019): still my daily go-to fitness app but some performance issues have slowly crept back in. They are annoying but I'm leaving my rating at five stars for now because it's still a great app. Updated again (Sep 22, 2018 - after v5.0 release): the inaccuracies and performance problems have been resolved. This is now my go-to app for fitness. Updated review (Jul 12, 2018, after two years of use): it's getting better. There is still a major issue with duplicates but accuracy has improved. Increased one star. I've been using the paid version for a couple months now and there are some major issues. I've been using a very accurate heart rate monitor with it. One issue is that the calorie count is grossly inaccurate. A 45 minute high-intensity workout with average heart rate at 150 is usually accurately measured as 800 calories whereas a 22 minute walk with heart rate in the warm-up zone the entire time chalks up over 2000 calories! It also frequently doesn't sync with Apple Health. I feel like I wasted $10.

Updated: I just love it

Update: Monica got back to me right away and all I needed to do was click “restore purchases” a few times to trigger communication with the App Store. BOOM! I’m now a Pro Member like Im supposed to be. Easy peasy. So that said and done if they decide to add nutrition logging to the app, which I hope they eventually do, I’ll change this to a five star rating.

The app is great. I love it. It has almost all the features I need and want and some I didn’t even know I wanted. It sucked me in with the free trial and I was instantly hooked. Everything was simple to understand. The layout is fresh, easy to maneuver and, my favorite part, editable. So there’s nothing that I see that I don’t want to and there’s nothing that I can’t see that I do want to. However, one day I woke up and my free trail was over. Boom! I was a free member and none of those amazing features were usable. So I gladly paid for the yearly membership. Who wouldn’t? The app is incredible! Well, take my word for it and be cautious. Pay for a month first and see if it works because it didn’t for me. The only feature it gave me was nutrition. Everything else is saying I need to upgrade. So I basically just paid ten dollars for what I already have to input into a free app anyway. Smh. I’m disappointed to say the least and hope that my ticket gets responded to promptly because I don’t like paying full price for a fraction of a product.

With series 4 watch this almost replaces Garmin

I love this program and the new Apple watches and I really want to leave my Garmin and iPhone at home. This app now has the gps accuracy to match all my know routes to within the same approximate standard deviation as my Garmin did. The only thing that still forces me to bring the Garmin is lack of a watch display field choice for split pace. Any serious runner trying to control pace needs this. Instant pace is too under damped and average to overdamped and targeting a certain pace for a given mile / split can’t be done without knowing what the current average value has been up to the current point in the mile. I am a member of 3 running clubs and this is the most common metric all the runners I know use, I’m shocked it’s missing (Strava app does have it but lacks a lot of other things). This has to be so trivial to add ... please consider it.

Update: Very responsive developer ... changed rating to 5 stars do to visible progress
