I tried several HRV apps and this one wins with usability, features and active development.

Description
The first scientifically validated Heart Rate Variability (HRV) app. HRV4Training provides HRV based insights to help you quantify stress,
better balance training and lifestyle, and improve performance. HRV4Training does not require a heart rate monitor, since it can accurately assess your HRV using the phones camera.
HRV4Training also works with Apple Watch, the Oura ring and all compatible Bluetooth SMART sensors.
HRV4Training is also the first app that goes beyond simple measurements and provides insights on:
1) acute or day to day HRV changes in response to different stressors (alcohol, travel, sick days, training, menstruation, etc.)
2) long term multi-parameter trends to look at the big picture
3) correlations between physiological measurements and annotations
4) training load analysis, fitness, fatigue, readiness to perform and injury risk
5) VO2max estimation for runners linking the app to Strava or TrainingPeaks and using a heart rate monitor during their workouts
6) Training Polarization analysis (or 80/20)
7) Lactate Threshold Estimation for runners linking the app to Strava or TrainingPeaks and using a heart rate monitor during their workouts
8) Weekly and monthly summaries to track progress.
All data is processed inside the app in order to provide you with actionable interpretations that can help optimizing your training plan and performance.
Supported devices for the camera measurement: iPhones 5, 5S, 6, 6S, 6+, 6S+, SE, 7, 7+, 8, 8+, X, XS, XS Max, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 14, 14 Plus, 14 Max, 14 Pro
Currently unsupported devices for the camera measurement: iPhones 4S, iPads and iPods - These devices require a chest strap.
Other features:
- HRV-based advice helps you to adapt your trainings based on objective measures of recovery
- TAGS: lets you tag your sleep, mental energy, muscle fatigue, stress and all other parameters that can help you understand what is influencing your physical condition and physiological stress
- Works with Bluetooth SMART heart rate monitors (a Polar H7 is recommended) or simply your phones Camera
- Integrates with the Health app (writes heart rate, and sleep, read sleep time)
- Configurable test (single or orthostatic, choose test duration between 1, 3 or 5 minutes)
- Extracts and stores the following features while lying down and/or standing: heart rate, mean of beat-to-beat intervals (AVNN), standard deviation of beat-to-beat intervals (SDNN), square root of the mean squared difference of successive R-Rs (rMSSD), number of pairs of successive R-Rs that differ by more than 50 ms (pNN50), low frequency power (LF, 0.04-0.15 Hz), high frequency power (HF, 0.15-0.40 Hz)
- Shows the PPG signal view to ensure signal quality during the test if the camera is used instead of a bluetooth SMART sensor
- HRV4T Recovery Points to provide a single, straightforward metric to analyze your physical condition
- Population summaries and people like you comparisons to put your data into perspective
- Analysis of compliance and consistency
- Data export via email or Dropbox
- Integrates with TrainingPeaks, SportTracks, Genetrainer and Strava
HRV4Training requires to register an account with your email address, so that your data can be backed up safely and retrieved in case anything happens (app issue, changing phone, etc.).

Great tool for training
Beste HRV App
Einfach zu benutzen und sehr konsistent in den Ergebnissen. Dazu häufig Updates und Bugfixes. Empfehelnswert.
Amazing app
Ive been using this app to accent my run training for about 3 months now and it keeps getting better and better. Absolutely love this company.
Simple to use
The app creator has a wealth of knowledge about HRV and his blog is a great read.
Love this app
Got into the habit of taking daily HRV readings during my marathon training. I love it - great biofeedback and app is super easy to use. Thanks so much to the developer for continuing to improve the app.
Awesome HRV 4 Training Always Improving
I find this up amazing in that it integrates with my Polar sensor H7 or when not available the flash finger sensor. The amount of details available based on HRV are simply amazing, and the fact that improvements occur so often intrigues, as I find each version an improvement over the last. I would like integration with my Garmin watch/HR sensor and more intuitive interpretation of results.
Terrific app!
I have been using HRV4 for several months now, mainly as a result of a rather severe episode of over-training last year. I’m so glad I found this app! Even after reviewing other HRV apps after I got this one, I believe HRV4 to be top dog. The regular updates based on science are confidence-inspiring. As a retired physician, though I no longer have the opportunity to make recommendations to patients, I do regularly and often recommend this app to my fellow training freaks. It seems to be keeping me out of past troubles. A+
