Pulsalarm App Reviews

I’m a huge fan of this app, it’s helped a lot because I like to train off of heart rate ranges. The only features I would enjoy would be to have custom presets. I know it comes with a few given ranges which you can apply quickly, but it would be nice if you could save your own. Or also if you could type in a given number instead of being limited to using the +/- symbols.

When using the modular watch face, I can add “complications” that are nothing more than an icon to open the workout app, the heart rate app, etc. Can we get a similar dead simple “complication” that just opens the Pulsalarm app? I want a quicker/easier way to start and stop it. One more problem I keep running into is a periodic “Info: Session Extended” popup in my watch when it’s running. It makes the watch buzz and is very distracting when I try to keep PulsAlarm enabled all day (which is what

This app is great for pulse training - especially because it is clear and simple - doing exactly what it says. I like being able to easily set my upper and lower bounds.

It seemed tricky to me at first, and then I figured out this tip - be sure to start your exercise app first! After that then open PulsAlarm and it works very well.

Was 60 before I learned about aerobic training from a podcast with Dr Maffetone. Used to just run at a brisk pace — 170+ HR— and wondered why my pace never improved. Now I know why and have been using the App for a month now to build up a base and keep me in the desired HR zone. Had looked at a bunch of different HR monitors, but this seemed to be just right for what I needed. Works well. Would like to change the alert sound though.

I re-started my fitness plan and this is a great tool to maintain optimal heart rate / pulse levels during my workouts. I recommend this to anyone who is starting or anyone that due to a condition need to have an alarm to be mindful of the heart rate. Good luck on all your workouts! : )

This is such a simple but effective app. Why Apple does not provide a pulse alarm during workouts is beyond me. I use this on all my runs and no longer have to keepChecking my watch to make sure I’m in zone 2. My only criticism is that when listening to a podcast or music, the heart rate alarm is too loud. I think this app lowers the sound of music/ podcasts and then when you out of your selected zone it blasts into your ears. Because of this, I no longer listen to podcasts while I run :( Still
