BlueHeart Bluetooth Heart Rate 4+

Update: The connection problem is getting better, but even when I’ve selected the “don’t save” option, it’s still double-counting the workout on Health (both my Peloton and app workout minutes are recording as Active Energy). Oddly enough, it doesn’t show a second workout—it just double-counts the time and calories. I have to manually go through and delete all of the iPhone and Apple Watch “workout minutes” on the Health app to have the right number of minutes and calories burned showing. Because of that, I’ve stopped using it again—too much work. Note: This does not happen when I use the Peloton chest heart rate monitor and have the Apple Watch on.

Worked really well during the first few minutes of my first Peloton with this, but I had to stop the workout to respond to an issue at home. When I tried to restart my ride, it wouldn’t connect. I tried going to another ride, and same thing. I tried turning off Bluetooth on the bike and on my phone and even force closing the app, and nothing. I also did a hard shutdown on the Peloton bike, and nothing. I gave up trying to use it and just went back to the chest strap.

I really love the idea of this app, and the first few minutes with it were great, but it’s a huge problem that I couldn’t get it to pair again with the bike to resume my workout. Glad I didn’t pay the $10 for it.

Just wanted to come back and update as I’ve got another week of use with the app and it’s worked flawlessly. I haven’t had to do any app quitting and restarting to get it to connect to my Peloton. I am on the WatchOS 7.1 beta, which could be the thing making it work. Whatever it is, it’s working as advertised for me. I simply start the app on my Watch (series 5), start the app on my iPhone (11 Pro Max) and it connects automatically to the Peloton.

An update to my earlier review, as the last two rides the app not only worked, it connected without any trouble and has been rock steady during the rides. I had given up on it and was simply using the Watch workout app, but decided to check if BlueHeart would work and it connected immediately and showed my heart rate on the screen.

Hopefully it continues to work, as I really like having the Watch be able to track my heart rate and it showing up on the Peloton.

Can’t believe I sprung for the paid upgrade, twice (for me and my wife), and I got it to work just a couple of times. It will sometimes connect to the Peloton, but not actually link the heart rate. Super frustrating and the work arounds don’t work either. I wish Peloton would develop a solution, other than needing to get a new bike.

My wife and I downloaded the app on august 31st and paid for the upgrade to pro to support the app maker. This app has never worked for my wife and only a few times for me. The few times it did work, my work out did not register on my activity app. We both have put in tickets for help with no replies from the company even though after putting in the ticket we receive the message saying they have received the request and will be contacting you soon. After putting in multiple tickets, I opened a log in to the app makers company and have log in issues. I get a message saying my login and password do not match. I hit the forgot my password button and get the message I will get an email but never do. I tried opening a new account but I get the message my login is already taken. The company has my email, received multiple tickets for the app and logging in issues and I never get a reply. We both really want this app to work but after this long without the app working and no replies from the company, I felt I have no choice but to write this review. We would much rather have the app to work than try to get my my money back but it looks like we will end up with neither.
