A few weeks after adding non-conventional workouts to its Apple Watch app,
Gentler Streak is back with another important update by improving heart rate
monitoring during exercises plus bringing the long-awaited widgets support
for iPhone users.
Gentler Streak is an Apple Watch workout app that wants to bring compassion
to your fitness goals.
It was first highlighted by Apple in February during the American Heart
Month and 9to5Mac has been covering its updates ever since.
Last time, the app added 12 non-conventional workouts that are not available
within the stock Workout app, such as dog walking, shoveling, and mountain
biking. With these, Gentler Streak features more than 100 trackable
exercises.
Now, the app wants to fill the heart rate blanks your Apple Watch may have
when you are working out. Heres how Gentler Streak explains this feature:

Sometimes, the smartwatch doesnt get your heart rate (HR) during a workout,
or your activity tracker doesnt save it all to Apple Health, tainting the
Activity Paths accuracy. To minimize that effect, we now efficiently source
the missing HR from the available data. It may cause a slight change in your
Activity Path.

Not only that, Gentler Streak now brings two kind of widgets for its iPhone
app by showing your current body fitness on the home screen. The Daily
Condition indicator comes in the form of a small and medium-size widget.
Version 2.2.1 of Gentler Streak is already available on the App Store.
The app is free to download but requires a subscription to take full
advantage of it. Premium costs $6.99 per month or $19.99 for a full year.
