Bevel: All-In-One Health App

UPDATE: this team of developers is next level. Consistent, responsive, fast and open minded. Love the new updates and I am blown away by the app/team. This app seriously has given me the information/guidance and coaching to get into the best shape of my life as I near 40. Can’t say enough how grateful I am to have found it. OLD REVIEW: my experience with the App has been amazing. Great tool that’s changed the way I live. Areas where I’d love to see improvements: (1) macros - would love more insight. Other than carbs, protein and fats there isn’t much. Although when you click on individual items you can see all the nutritional values (sodium, added sugars etc). Would love to be able to see all of that at a glance as well- even if it is just another screen you have to drill down into. I love the focus on carbs, fats and protein but it would be nice to see the others as well especially as all the information is already there. (2) id love more insight on the food scores. Don’t really see a lot of rationale for how the calculations are made (3) would love to see a bit more of the Apple specs regarding health available so I don’t need to shuffle between apps (4) would love if the keyboard didn’t auto pop up when you’re selecting a recipe. Always makes me accidentally click. (5) would love to be able to log different types of workouts (stroller walks) Again. Amazing app. Very grateful for the functionality.

I have been a long time user of Oura, however as the life of my battery started to decline (down to 2 days) I went in search of a replacement. I have been using Bevel for a couple of months now and can’t imagine living without it. For the way I use both apps (there are a lot of features that I don’t use regularly), following is quick compare/contrast: - For REM and Deep sleep the two apps are directionally similar. Not sure which one is more accurate. - There is a LOT more movement in the Bevel sleep score, which I like. My Oura sleep score tends to be in a narrow range which makes it less useful. - There is even more variability with the Bevel Recover score vs. Oura’s Readiness score. I find that Bevel is way more in line with how I feel. - Bevel has a Strain recommendation (how hard you should work out that day) based on your sleep/recover, which I find very useful. This has helped to reduce the amount I over train. - Bevel tracks your stress throughout the day. I consider myself having very low stress however I have learned that the stress from some of my workouts stays with me throughout the day. - My wife got sick and all of the Bevel scores I have mentioned above enabled her to be smart about her recovery and getting back to training. With Oura I really like the Heart Rate graph and the HRV graph, neither of which currently exist within Bevel (though they are on the feature request list).

This being the first day of public release I wanted to set my expectations low. So far from what I am seeing it is fantastic. There was no need for low expectations as this app has hit the ground running right from the start. I did find one not big bug but so far a really nice experience. If you are familiar with Whoop, Athlytic or Garmin this will feel similar but it does well with offering a fresh way of looking at your data. I really like that it already supports updating the widgets on the desktop of my Mac. I have apps the I have used for years that still have not started with that feature. So far I have not come to a conclusion that the subscription price is fair for what you are getting. I am leaning to yeah it’s fair, there is nice value here. I will admit I am not someone who is bothered much by subscriptions if I am likening the product. I never go right to the full year. I always go monthly for a month or two and if after that I am using the app regularly I pay for the year. My guess is after a month I will just do the year as I have been in the app multiple times today.
