Heartener for Android

11 things about Heartener

1. When you first launch Heartener on your Apple Watch, a Health app message will ask you for permission to give Heartener read access to the Heart Rate component of your Health data.

2. Heartener® uses the heart rate sensors on your Apple Watch to translate your heart rate into a sound that is played on the iPhone paired with the Watch.

3. Every 5 seconds, the heartbeat sound effect is played based on the latest heart rate received from your Watch.

4. You'll get voice confirmation the session has begun, and within a few seconds the first heart rate data will be transmitted.

5. You can adjust these permissions at any time by going to the Health app section in iPhone Settings, selecting Data Access & Devices, then tapping the Heartener icon.

6. Heart rate information is transmitted to your iPhone every 3-5 seconds.

7. Heartener will not function if the Watch paired iPhone is locked or in sleep mode; Auto-Lock in Settings has to be set to Never during Heartener sessions.

8. The pitch of the heart beat sound is lower for slower heart rates, and gets higher as the heart rate increases.

9. If your heart rate moves outside a range you select on the app, a very loud siren alert will automatically sound.

10. Heartener works with HealthKit to integrate with the Health app on your iPhone and requires your authorization as a Health Source to function.

11. The color of the heart rate text display varies from green to bright orange depending on the heart rate beats per minute.
