Oxford, United Kingdom – Smoky Cat Software Ltd. today announced that Heart Graph version 5.0 is now available on the App Store for iPhone(R), iPad(R) and iPod touch(R). Heart Graph lets users see graphically how their heart rate behaves during exercise or other periods of time, and supports comparison and analysis of the heart rate graph and other statistics across sessions. New with v5.0 Apple Watch(R) users can see a graph of their heart rate in real time on the phone during a recording; additionally, all features of Heart Graph on the iPhone (including those that were previously for Bluetooth sensors only) are now also available to Apple Watch users, including heart rate zone alarms and the ability to design workout plans that can then be executed automatically by the app during training sessions.

Heart Graph can be used for general health monitoring and all types of aerobic exercise including running, cycling, rowing or gym work. “The essence of Heart Graph is providing users the ability to assess the way their body is responding to training over time” says Thomas Wright, Director of Smoky Cat Software Ltd. “The Apple Watch has brought heart rate monitoring to a huge number of people who didn’t have access to such information previously, and being able to make sense of that data is vital for making the most of exercising. Having the ability to see and influence time spent in different heart rate zones rate during workouts is another piece of the puzzle, and is another example of how Heart Graph can support users in maximising the benefits of their workouts.”

Features of Heart Graph include:
* Record and display a graph of heart rate against time on your iPhone and/or Apple Watch while exercising
* Review up to 12 hours of recent heart rate data acquired by the Apple Watch directly on the Watch
* Import heart rate data for previous Workouts in Health (e.g., from Apple Watch or other device)
* Review all graphs offline (e.g., to spot trends in training)
* Add textual notes to each session (e.g., to record details of a particular workout, sets, reps, general health etc.) and search for sessions based on the notes entered
* Share data with friends via email or Facebook
* Device rotation to landscape for iPhone and iPod touch maximises screen area for graphs

Beyond the basics, a single $2.99 (USD) In-App Purchase will enable the Premium Features of the app, giving users access to more in-depth comparison and additional features to support their workouts or health monitoring:
