Peak watch
I’m diggin it, all around helpful!
PeakWatch
They keep asking for a review
More Show than Information
This does a terrible job at actually tracking your performance and is no more than a broad guess. It offers more of a show and fantasy than actual information. Dont let the fake reviews trick you.
SCAM me out of my money
They advertised this as $5 dollars a month . Charged my account $35 . I will be disputing my charges
Stole my money, stay away, do not recommend
I did a trial and cancelled it since I didn’t end up needing the app, and they charged me anyways. I requested a refund through Apple twice and they said the developers declined my refund request. Stay away or they’ll steal your money with no way of getting it back.
Doesn’t work

Anyway not worth the money and it’s difficult to navigate. My health app is in pounds but on the app it’s in kgs. Nowhere to fix except in the health app which is right.

Not enough relevant data for at a glance check-ins, doesn’t pull historical data
Basically does everything other analytics apps does and they all fall behind supporting widgets and Apple Watch complications. You can’t display standalone HRV, RHR data anywhere with widgets or complications. It’s all integrated into recovery.
It also doesn’t look like the app is capturing historical heart rate recovery data. Mine currently displays at 14 bpm when it’s in the 40s.
This app also uses the 6-HR Zone model; most other apps track according to 5. This makes it confusing for progress and creates more unnecessary data points. At the very least we should be able to choose our system.

Useless Trial Mode
The free trial mode is useless. You can’t review the previous days results.
Update: I misspoke, it’s the free version, not free trial.

留意
该软件内购买一年会员,到期后自动续订会员,没有告知,当天发现后提请退费后被拒,请注意,这是个流氓扣费软件
Wouldn't recommend
I love the concept of this app, however, the app itself needs some fine tuning as it's very glitchy. I tried the 7 day free trial, wasn't happy with the app itself and canceled the subscription before the week was over and was still charged $49.99 for a yearly subscription so that was also very disappointing.
Stop it
Stop asking for review every 4 minutes. I haven’t even set up the app and I have been asked twice to review it. Relax!
iOS 26.2 update - data will not sync to phone from Watch.
The PeakWatch app on my iPhone is not pulling any information from my Apple Watch or the Health app.
My watch is recording the information as normal.
Everything is authorized, sharing data is turned on. I’ve tried closing and restarting the app multiple times. I’ve tried soft resetting both my watch and my phone. I’ve tried syncing the watch app and phone app multiple times. Nothing is working.
I’ve emailed support twice. No response.
I started noticing this once iPhone update iOS 26.2 installed overnight. That’s the only thing I can figure - PeakWatch app is not optimized or is glitching due to iOS 26.2.
Please help / fix this immediately.
It’s not ideal to be paying $6 per month for an application that doesn’t work.

Just a Survey App
This app just puts you through a survey before making you pay. Scam-like app.
They responded but couldn’t explain why payment only comes after the survey.

NOT free
Another app advertised and plastered ALL over social media without referencing if it’s free or not. Of course they won’t tell you that it’s a subscription based service either. Copy and paste business method to lure people to download, not sure how this has 5 star reviews.
Still waiting...
Still waiting for "data" to load tbh. Your support doesnt work either. Sorry.
Another 40$ a year streaming service
Make ts free, there’s no reason a journal should cost me 40$ a year
Work on fixing the UI
Nothing is more frustrating than forced popups with a tutorial I have to click through. Add an X so I can skip. Even worse when it’s got slow animations you have to wait for. Never unsubscribed and deleted an app so quickly.
Disclaimer: I wouldn’t actually rate this app a 1 star I just need the developers to see this
The app won’t track my water intake. No matter where I put it either through my apple health data or manually in, it still shows my water intake for the day being at 0.
Only works on newer watches
My apple watch is older and is currently only able to get up to IOS 8, and in order to download this app on your watch you need IOS 9 (which is unavailable for my watch, likely due to its age). I really hope PeakWatch can work on this issue so that every apple watch user may be able to download this app.
Data won’t load
When syncing with the Apple Watch and setting up the app, it says it needs 0 to 10 seconds to load all of the data. After over five minutes of waiting, the data load page is still at 1 %. I tried multiple times and it won’t work.
I want to like it
I genuinely want to like this app because the concept a unified dashboard for important data is excellent. However, my experience has been very buggy. The 7 day free trial initially did not grant access to Pro features (it seemed to require a day to register). Crucially, the app consistently crashes whenever I try to open my running workout data. I've reinstalled it multiple times, but the issue persists. While the potential is there, the current stability makes it unusable for me.
Steals your money
I just downloaded this app and purchased the $5.99 a month plan, but was charged $12.99. Don’t blatantly scam people like that, at least post the same price.
Not accurate
I downloaded the app, pretty excited. I was using the free trial. The first night I was up for 3+ hours with my toddler but the app gave me a 100% sleep and recovery scores the next morning. Deleted immediately. I won’t be paying for that haha
Literally everything is locked behind pro
Can't even try the app everything is locked. Waste of time.
This app needs work
The app only picks up the first incidence of a log. For example, my watch recorded 2 logs for sleep, and while I actually slept 7 hours, PeakWatch only recorded the log with 1 hour. That completely threw off all the metrics for the day. It has done the same with a workout that I quit early and restarted, only recording the first 2 minute one and not the hour one that I actually did.
Doesn’t Work
Doesnt fully work .. several times it recorded zero sleep or partial sleep
Keep saying your version is too low
This is beyond acceptable. I love their design and bought the lifetime membership. Now it keeps saying my version is too low and cannot use it, when I go to the App Store, and I am already using the latest version! Uninstall reinstall nothing! This is ridiculous, how new your version needs to be in order to use your fancy software?! What new feature is that important need to block the whole usage?! Worst experience ever! 总是说版本过低,啥版本必须升级才能用啊?!更何况根本就没有新版本!
Won’t work
Purchased the premium version. App stopped working after one day and said I had to update the most recent version. App Store said I had the most recent version and now the app is totally inaccessible. Trash.
Pay wall
Every thing is behind a pay wall
Great concept, poorly executed
I was really excited about this app even subscribed to pro… however, this app is very poorly executed, extremely slow to navigate. As you click around and try to view different tabs or views, every time you do that, you wait 20 seconds to refresh. Developers would do well to do some performance testing and caching results, as refreshing and recalculating everything every time the use clicks provides a horrible user experience… to the point that the app is essentially unusable due to the constant delays refreshing the screen every time you click on anything.
Won’t sync hear rate data from Strava!
This is incredibly frustrating, I can’t get my heart rate data to come over because It’s going through the Apple health app, unfortunately that renders the whole exertion process useless because it thinks I haven’t worked out today at all. There is no support either so I am forced to write a review in the hopes that someone somewhere answers it eventually. Very disappointing. Will update if they respond.
Harassing splash screens
The app is great but the consistent harassment to upgrade to premium is very annoying and doesn’t make me want to upgrade anymore than I want to already. Every other time I open the app I get treated with the splash screen when I just want to check my states.
睡眠统计时长太短 只有30天的平均 睡眠对于健康太重要 应该增加到年平均统计
以及运动全部数据的统计
Super expensive!
Yeah it looks cool, but it uses data that’s available for free on the watch. $50 a year is crazy.
Interesting app, bad experience with Voiceover
I downloaded this app with high hopes, got it put on my watch, went through setup, even opted for the pro subscription, only to find that the info presented on the watch face is jumbled and not well optimized if you use Voiceover, the built in screen reader of iPhone and Apple Watch. Icon widget, icon subtract, icon battery, all with numbers, but the way it is read out is not very helpful. If it just said battery followed by a percentage, or whatever other item is being presented, followed by its number, it would make the readout much more clear and concise. I get that blind users are probably not a big part of your user base, but still, this should really be fixed.
