I’m training for my first 5K right now and still figuring things out as a beginner, so recovery is everything for me. This app has made it way easier to understand how my body’s actually doing each day. It takes my sleep, HRV, heart rate, and workouts and gives me one simple score that tells me if I’m good to go or need to back off. Most days, it confirms what I’m feeling, but sometimes it catches stuff I would’ve missed, like when I feel fine but my body’s still recovering. That’s saved me from overtraining more than once. The best part is how clean and easy it is to use. No account setup, no fluff, just real info I can trust. For a free app, it’s kind of insane how good it is. I honestly don’t think it’ll stay free forever, so I’m glad I got in early. If you’re just starting out like me, this is the kind of app that helps you train smarter without overcomplicating things.

I'm new to the body battery concept so as a reviewer I have the advantage of having no set expectations. So far I find the concept interesting, but feel like the algorithm is mostly providing a one time value--the energy at the start of my day, and then gradually decreasing it without taking into account new HRV measurements. So I might feel super zen but it says I have 14% left because I went for a run, or I might feel out of it but I'm at 75% because I slept the normal amount and have not moved much. I would love an expanded info section like another reviewer commented because it is very possible I am interpreting this wrong, but it really seems like the body state value is based on my sleep metrics and my workout metrics alone, and doesn't take into account other things I might do during the day that the AW can track (be stressed, walk around, meditate, repeat). And if I'm right I'm not sure why the app needs multiple taps to sync (I'm assuming with my phone) every time I want to check the value?

This app is so incredibly useful! It helps keep me mindful of how my body is performing throughout the day. It’s convenient, easy to use, and very practical. I can access it on both my watch and my phone. It’s such a cool concept, making me think of my health like a battery, which helps me make more conscious decisions. On days where I’m depleting faster or didn’t “charge” enough, I know to have an easier workout. Whereas days where I get my full “charge”, I know I can push myself a little further. I love the pricing factor too. Asking for a donation rather than charging a monthly fee is so nice and takes the stress off of feeling like you have to pay an exuberant amount of money to be able to track your health factors. I also love that I can continue to make donations as I fall more in love with the app. I recommended this app to all of my friends and family and they love it! You’ll love it too! Take back control of your health with a user friendly, wallet friendly, informative app! I can’t wait to see how this app expands and grows moving forward!
