REVIEWS
Men’s Health Magazine, 27/01/2020:
“Work Stress Could Be Killing Your Gains. Is work, not working out, the cause of gym burnout?
Keeping tabs on both mental and physical toll is crucial. The solution is heart-rate variability training. You can measure how well you’ve recovered from your last session. High variability signals that you’re ready to push, low variability means a day of stretching and high-nutrient foods. If you want to make your training plan stick, track heart rate variability at home with Welltory. Best for beginners is the free version where you use your phone’s camera to measure your HRV. The data is easy to read, displaying scores for mood, energy, and stress. You won’t miss a beat.The American Heart Association recommends HRV assessment for ambulatory ECG, EKG or cardiogram interpretation”.

It is accurate when I have rested, not when really stressed
My life swirls with emotional stress which requires the help of a psychiatrist and a therapist and appropriate use of drugs. I do my sampling of heart rate variability four hours after an anti-anxiety pill and a nap. If I had done my daily sample just after I had been very stressed for three hours, the results would have been differed. I am encouraged to see results that show that with my support including medicines that I am resilient. This is consistent with my having survived three major physician errors involving the rupture of my appendix a week after my 75th birthday. I too am a physician but am a woman and I believe that this is why the three physicians ignored my telling them that I had just ruptured my appendix. They elected to wait 3days to do my surgery and stopped all my medicine even though I had arrived in the ER with a current list of my drugs. As a result, at the time of surgery I had a grand mal seizure, was mildly psychotic and dehydrated and had a bacterial abcess in my abcess in my appendix and small bowel. I had a blood stream infection. I survived and ultimately went home.
So I give this software a thoughtful excellent review for my first seven days. If you are not familiar with medical words and ways of thinking, the detailed information may be overwhelming at first. It is worth staying with the program and learning how to use it in your life. Bravo!

Hi splitail,
Thank you for your detailed review and high rating. We are glad you enjoy the app and really appreciate your feedback. It’s very important to track your wellbeing nowadays. Please, take care of yourself and stay safe.
“Sci-Fi” Update
I am an occasional user of this app. I was previously a subscriber who used it everyday – sometimes multiple times per day. That will not be happening again with the newest update. It is no longer user friendly. I have no idea where to find anything and there are no explanations as to what each button means. The app keeps bragging that I should be able to use my Apple Watch to take measurements – that’s not working. I read the “help” section on how to connect my watch to the app and all it advises is to connect Apple Health. That’s done. But still no luck. I turned on the “Breathe” feature and did that a couple times yesterday, and none of that information has been loaded into this app. The raw data is really the only thing I looked at on this app previously, and now all of that is gone…or impossible to find. The reason I am even bothering to write a review is because I received 15 notifications from this app between 2AM and 7AM last night. That is totally ridiculous! The notifications were the same three messages repeated five times. Truly annoying! I went into the app to change my notification settings and, of course, that couldn’t be found. I think I am ready to delete this app completely even though I have data for almost 400 measurements saved.
Developer Response,
Hi! We apologize that you have to wait for your results to be processed, but we rolled out the new version only a day ago, and our servers are under a great load at the moment. We can assure you it’s a temporary issue, and we’re working on it right now.
We understand that with the new design, it may be hard at first to find the options you’ve got used to — but they are still there. All the raw data is displayed when you tap chart and liquid messages. At the same time, we are happy to offer new solutions by means of new features and integrations with new gadgets. The algorithms have been improved and include new functions now, completely new blood pressure analytics, breathing exercises, workout, sleep, and meditation reports.
You’ve pointed out some issues with Apple Watch synchronization.
Apple Watch is a great tool to make HRV measurements and synchronize data with Welltory to build unique correlations. It is true it is a feature packed device which needs certain adjustments. Please write to chat so that we could help to adjust night notifications.
We really hope that you will enjoy all the new features after you customize and use them for some time. We hope you’ll give the new version a chance and use the data you’ve already accumulated to the fullest!
