iBiker Cycling & Heart Trainer
authentic ratingA long-standing tracker for spin and cardio that people value for its clear heart-rate picture and heart-rate zones right during a workout. What annoys people most is being forced to create an account with a login and password just to record a simple workout, which people flatly call email harvesting. Always-on location access that eats battery instead of a 'while using' mode, plus GPS drifting and connections to Polar and Garmin heart-rate monitors breaking after updates, also get in the way.
Reviews are detailed and span years of use, with people writing about the clear heart-rate visualization in spin classes, heart-rate zones, and even a case where the app helped spot atrial fibrillation. The 4.85 store and 4.17 text averages are close and the complaints are specific, with no sign of fakery.
