Orangetheory OTbeat App Reviews

80 add

Useless with latest updates

When the latest update came out several useful things were deleted. The splat points earned per class are now deletes, isnt that one of the main goals of OTF??? The zone colors are also deleted from the heart rate graph. This app is pretty useless now!

Dislike the new update to OTBeat

What happened to the splat points earned for each session??? They are not listed in new update. Also there are options for distance, speed and resistance which dont do anything. Please fix. Why do u guys talk so much about getting 12 splat points per session for optimal EPOC but then the new update doesnt allow them to be displayed? I viewed them yesterday but today the format has totally changed!!!

Updates make this app worse!

This app only has one target audience: those who prescribe to the "orange" theory. After all the app is for the orange theory establishment. And the whole point is to map your heart rate to a color zone and collect splat points. Thats exactly what the previous version did. It showed my heart rate over a color grid and calculated minutes per zone. This latest update decided to remove the color chart and the splat points and show a car dyno-like black and white chart. All my splat points are gone. Instead there are new graphs like my distance, speed etc., but guess what? The orange theory monitor ONLY monitors heart rate so these are all useless. If youre going to leverage a third party and license an app platform make sure the updates reflect the franchise and not just what the platform thinks will work for the most companies. Now this app is pointless.

Doesnt show the color zone??!!?

The only reason I wanted the app was so that I could see if Im reaching the orange zone. It no longer shows that, even on in-studio workouts. Out of studio workouts dont show up at all. This app is useless! Even for free, its too frustrating and has too little information to bother with.

Horrible software update!

The app used to show the 5 heart rate zones and splat points until the app updated. This is the whole reason to use the app. OTF just ruined this app for its users who pay good money to subscribe and use this data during and after workouts to track their progress. Go back to the old version! You have just made your customers very upset!

Cant login

Can login online, but not through the app. I get the summary emails, but not through the app. Why??? OTF workout is great, app stinks.

Studio isnt listed

I would love to use this app however they havent added my Studio to their locations. Funny thing is theres a studio that hasnt opened yet and its listed. Great concept it included ALL OTF locations.

Works, but could be better

Thankfully the "old" style performance summary returned to the app shortly after the upgrade and the uproar that followed. Kudos to the Dev team for listening to users. That said, the out-of-studio workout feature needs help. If you are like me and do intervals outside of the studio, you need the ability to keep time. The big issue there is that the app doesnt prevent the phone from sleeping, so you constantly need to touch the screen to keep the phone unlocked and the time visible. The display of the time could also stand a larger font, as is it is difficult to read even on a treadmill.

Recommendation

With the band not being able to link to another app while working out at OTF, this app should incorporate and records items such as miles/ distance. This would be helpful for individuals who may be training for running stamina and want to track their progress.

Needs Apple Health data integration!

This app is handy to see my OT workouts, but they need to feed into the Apple Health app database so my OT workouts can be viewed with the rest of my exercise activities.

Fix it, please!

The app wont let me log in. It says my email is wrong, never mind the fact that I am currently logged in to the regular OTF app with the same information. Grrrrr.

No access

I cant access this ap, it keeps stating the same as the other reviews incorrect password and upon attempting to reset my password it states incorrect email which is not the case and is very frustrating. I hope this is fixed soon, because the ad seems very promising and I am hopeful that this will work well outside of the studio.

Log in/no data

Log in doesnt work. Have to enter correct password about 5x to open app. Doesnt remember user or password either making you start the process over each log-in. I also dont see any of my workout data, even from today. One star for having a more normal fitness gal to look at. The OTF app to book classes needs this girl too!

Log in issues here, too

I keep trying to log in or reset my password, and neither are working. Im using the same email that is in the OTF app, so Im not sure whats going on...

Login failed

1. Can not login 2. Consolidate apps 3. Can not critique rest of app because of number 1

Useless.

Impossible to log-in, I keep getting the error message every time I try, and also, it insists that I have the wrong e-mail and password. Not true. I use them in the other OTF app. Disappointing.

Cant even log in

Tried several times to log in - wont take my email. Ive verified the info with my OTF and also deleted and downloaded again. Would also like it to show my actual heartrate and cant you just make one app to cover everything ?

Terrible

The app wont even let me in. I keep getting an error message that tells me my login is wrong. When I type in my password to reset the password, it tells me I have an invalid email address. Please fix this immediately. Why release an app that doesnt work? Look up QA testing and give it a whirl. And as a side note, why cant I track all my info in the OT app. Why do I need TWO apps??????

Doesnt work

I was logged on for about a minute and then it kicked me off. Couldnt log back on again so I reinstalled it, and now its saying my email is wrong. Useless

Cant open

Like others I cant sign in, cant get password reset; not impressed.
