Each week in History has its own page, with your time per zone and the target zone picked out, ready to share as slides or a video. During your free trial, Beatcast can remind you two days before it ends, with a switch to turn that off.

Each week in History now has its own page, with your time per zone and the target zone picked out. Share the week as slides or a video. When a new week begins, a notification takes you back to the one before.

Share a session as a picture or a video of your heart rate curve drawing itself, ready for a post or a Story. Each zone profile now keeps its own alerts, and how they reach you.

The heart rate from your strap or armband on Apple Watch, through your iPhone, and Weeks in History with a goal for your target zone.

Beatcast 2.0 brings the heart rate from your strap or armband to Apple Watch, through your iPhone, in your zone color. Also new: Weeks in History, which adds up your time in each zone and tracks a weekly goal for your target zone.

A clearer welcome for first-time users. The first screens now say which sensors Beatcast works with, and where the camera fits in: a quick spot check between sessions.

Sessions you ended while paused now open from History like the rest, including the ones you saved before this update.

End a session and the time in its summary on the Lock Screen stops right where you did. Sharing your heart rate with equipment? The tips in the broadcast sheet now say it too: while a session runs, you can lock the screen or switch apps.

Beatcast can now give you a cue when your heart rate enters a zone you picked. Also new: a summary when you end a session, with its length, average and time in each zone.

Alerts can now wait. Pick a delay per zone profile and Beatcast only speaks up once your heart rate has stayed out of range that long. Also new: an End Session shortcut, and, on iPhone, an optional heart rate graph on the Lock Screen.

Beatcast now speaks Japanese, on screen and in the widgets. Its App Store page now also reads in Canadian French and European Portuguese.

Keep zones for training and others for winding down, each in its own colors, and switch between them on the Monitor. On iPhone Duo, half-folded on a table, your heart rate fills the top half and big buttons sit below at thumb height.

On iPhone, pick the row for AirPods Pro 3 or Powerbeats Pro 2 in the sensor list, allow access in the Health app, and your heart rate arrives a few seconds later. If a permission for Bluetooth, Health, the camera, notifications or Live Activities is off, Beatcast says which one and offers to open Settings.

Start, pause and resume a session by voice with Siri, once your sensor is sending. On iPhone 15 Pro and later, start one with the Action button, too. You can also share a finished session as a picture, with its date, duration, average and maximum heart rate and the curve.

Your heart rate and the minutes behind it now fill the Dynamic Island when you press and hold it. If your sensor drops out while you are sharing your heart rate, Beatcast keeps sending your equipment the last number for up to a minute while you sort it out.

Broadcasting works again: in 1.6 it could not start. Also new since 1.5: sessions are grouped by day, you can filter by tag, and a session shows which zones it was recorded against. Tap the heart rate chart to explore it full screen. The live chart covers 3 to 60 minutes.

History is easier to read. Sessions are grouped by day, you can filter by tag, and a session now shows which zones it was recorded against. Tap the heart rate chart to explore it full screen. The live chart covers 3 to 60 minutes.

Bug fixes and small improvements. The app should feel a little steadier than it did.

Calories can now sit beside heart rate and time. They are off by default. Switch them on in Settings and enter your weight and sex. The figure is calculated from your heart rate, so it is an estimate. Sessions that stop unexpectedly still land in your history.

The app now opens on a short launch screen with the Beatcast mark, then goes straight to the monitor. If you own the full version, the trial-ended notice no longer appears on the way in, and no purchase screen comes up on its own. A saved sensor reconnects by itself after you buy or restore the full version, without a trip to the sensor list. Settings has a short top level with pages behind it: Your numbers (Profile, Heart-rate zones, Alerts, Rest coach), Connections (Sensors, sharing your heart rate, Apple Health), Display, Unlock and About. Alerts and the ways they reach you are on one page now. The medical disclaimer sits under the first group. Wording is more consistent. Zone means a heart rate range, band and strap mean hardware, and the device names in the sensor guide are translated now. New installs start the age picker at 25. Plus many smaller copy edits.

Beatcast now speaks German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese as well as English, down to the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island, the widgets and the permission prompts. The app also tells you where your heart rate turns up: the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen while a session runs, the home screen widget for the last reading with the time it was taken. Start with no sensor paired and you get a screen explaining what counts as one and how to connect it. Fixed a sensor that stayed connected in the background and showed a live reading while the status still read Connecting. Nothing clips at large text sizes now, the trial notice keeps its buy button in reach, and the Bluetooth permission notice has a way into Settings.

Beatcast now runs on iPad, as a stationary display for a propped-up tablet you read from across the room. TCX export, so a session opens in Strava or Garmin Connect. Edit or delete a saved session. A redesigned three-minute chart that zooms in on where your heart rate actually is. Test an alert from the background, to check you can hear it with the phone in your pocket. Sessions now reach Apple Health with an honest workout type instead of always saying strength training.
