About HRV Expert by CardioMood
CardioMood - a scientific approach to your heart rate variability.
The best app for heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. It is designed for experts in HRV. We hope it will be a powerful tool in your research.
If you are still not familiar with heart rate variability – it's time to learn!
REQUIRES A HEART RATE SENSOR!!! Your phone must also support Bluetooth SMART.
There are 7 points why this is the best app in HRV:
1. We use standard, widely accepted algorithms.
2. Our app was tested against certified ECG based HRV software.
3. It shows a comprehensive report (with time and frequency domain parameters) and provides flexible measurement options.
4. The app allows to export the data and report to a text file.
5. Shows Stress level and HRV in real time.
6. All your data is synchronised with the cloud.
7. The website will allow you to do even more!
We also calculate 20*log RMSSD, which is a popular metric for HRV used in many apps, such as ithlete, SelfLoops, Bioforce HRV, Lepo and others. Just as in other apps we call it "HRV score".
The app will help you know estimate the effectiveness of your cardio workouts. When used wisely, it can reduce overtraining and maximize performance.
You can also check your stress level and estimate health of your heart.
Free CardioMood Account
In order to use the app, you will need to create a free CardioMood account. Don't be afraid, everything is kept a secret. If you don't trust the app, just use a fake name. :) However we might contact you via email if we find something abnormal in your heart rate.
Make sure you have this sensor. It can be for example Polar H7 HRM or Mio Alpha watch!
Limitations
★ At the moment, the app will only work on Android 4.3 or higher and Bluetooth SMART heart rate sensors

Instructions
Our heart is controlled by autonomic nervous system, so heart rhythm reflects its state. By analyzing beat-to-beat variability (also known as HRV), we can easily estimate the ratio of activities of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
★ Using CardioMood for stress estimation ★
Body reacts to stress by increasing sympathetic tone. Stress is often associated with higher heart rate and blood pressure as well as more regular rhythm (low variability). In contrast, a relaxed state is usually associated with high HRV.
If you're an athlete heart rate variability will allow to track your recovery, and changes in HRV will indicate development and adaptation of cardiovascular system to training. Use it to maximize performance.
Here is how you can evaluate your stress level:
1. Wear your heart rate monitor (e.g. Polar H7) and relax (sit or lie down)
2. Set the measurement limit to be 2 min.
3. Establish connection with your heart rate monitor
4. Click "Start recording"
5. See your heart rate graph with average stress level after 2 minutes
If you see artefacts or ectopic beats, try to remove them or adjust heart rate monitor to ensure good connection and repeat the procedure.
We estimate stress level using standard algorithm developed by a soviet physiologist R.M.Bayevsky. Normal range for stress index is 40 – 150. Values above 150 is considered to be associated with stressed condition. Values below 40 are often associated with sleep (it is like that for example if you stay awake too long).
Even though there are standards for HRV, all estimated parameters and normal ranges can be individual. Only a trained physician can correctly interpret the recording, with respect to your individual features and medical history.

Pro version very buggy. Won't start reading when start reading button pressed, recording time menu greyed out. App doesn't close and terminate when exiting. States resident and takes up cpu/memory.

Latest update forces you to login, except wont accept credentials. Drove 2 hours and can't use the app when I need it. Criminally dumb update really.

It was great until my Galaxy Note 4 upgraded to Android 6.0 1. Now the connection with my polar H7 drops off every few seconds then reconnects. I have tested the band with a friend's phone running Android 5 and it is still perfect. Emailed developer weeks ago but I suspect they have died.

Once again AT&T pushed an update (Android 6) that broke functionality of important apps such as this. I feel sorry for developers trying to keep up and most just give up. Hopefully there is a way to get this app working with the Polar H7 on Android 6 or I guess I'll have to buy another phone that AT&T can't push updates to.

Every other app works except for this one. I've been trying for a few days and now it's too late to request a refund. No place to contact the developer.

Updated, app has never worked, I had the paid version, I finally got response from the developer who tells be this app won't work with moto 360 (nothing in the description which is bad considering it's a popular watch). Anyway, asked developer why this isn't in the description and his response was "why didn't you try the free one first!" rather than loose my cool, I requested a refund... That was 3 weeks ago and nothing but radio silence! Going to report it to google next.

Best app I tried for a polar H7 chest strap. Included charts are fascinating and most importantly you can export all data (the "R-R intervals" from the device) in a nicely formatted text file. Toggle the Bluetooth off and on if you have any trouble connecting-- sometimes the device shows up, but if you've recently used it from another app you cannot connect.

I have problem connecting my device to the app. I am using Polar H7 device to measure cardio values. When I try connect to the aplication it has vision of my device but wont connect. So I keep pressing connect button over and over again.

Works perfectly with my Wahoo tickr. Monitor stress easily with lf/hf. Fan of all the extra graphs and plots too. Good app

Worst app,, cannot try before but and doesn't measure any hear rates, bad buy

I really like this app. It has the widest variety of statistics that I have found - including the very important spectral analysis to allow for finding your optimal HRV breath rate. I have tested it's accuracy by using it simultaneously with PC-based system the two are very close. Not 5 stars yet because I would like to be able to upload the data to Kubios and I would like it to wait to start recording until after I have settled into my resting position to avoid extreme readings due to motion.

A lot of detailed analysis with possibility to save raw data as well. The only thing missing is the possibility to chart the daily changes of HRV. This would make it priceless.

Having tried all of the other options available this is the most comprehensive HRV app and the only one I could get to work that provides a graph of the spectrum which is nice to see. I'm interested in learning about the post-processing values and will research them myself but it would still be nice to have a brief explanation on each parameters known significance.

without the forced registration and auto uploading of everything instantly. It shouldn't be possible to force a registration and data upload just to try an app. Give 3 recording sessions, and then ask for a registration. That would be acceptable. The app itself is best in class, and I've tried them ALL.

My original review gave this app one star because it would not work with my new chest strap. I have since found out that most chest straps do not support HRV testing - including my new Arendo one. This app is probably fine, but just make sure you buy the right chest strap first.

best one I've tried. There is still plenty of room for improvement, but after trying out most of the HRV apps on the play store, the feature to export raw R-R values to further analyze it using other apps such as Kubios HRV alone would make this app much more valuable than the rest, including the vastly more expensive ithlete.

I have an app for my ipad that takes the HRV measurements I want from my Zephyr Smart HxM chest strap heart monitor, but have been struggling through over a dozen apps looking for one that would work on Android. Many Android HRV apps are not BLE compatible, but this one is, and it shows all the analytic I want (e.g. frequency domain) plus more (e.g. the elliptical view). I hope this app gets lots of downloads and the developer keeps it up to date, so I went and wrote this review :)

The app is pretty good on pre-Nougat devices. But the thing that lets this app down is the almost complete lack of support. That would not be good for the free version but it is wholly unacceptable for the paid version, which is quite expensive. I've been waiting for several weeks for a reply to a question I raised concerning Android Nougat (in)compatibility. Disappointing.
