With a
visually intuitive
orange-and-white theme, plus a range of icon-assisted features, boAt ProGear is a sports app you can easily use while moving. Issues about the app include its
unresponsiveness
and syncing difficulties.
Your new workout buddy
boAt ProGear basically operates like
Fitbit
,
Google Fit
, or
Strava
. It is designed to sync between your mobile phone and your smartwatch to give you
real-time readings
. Of course, the readings you can expect from the app will only come from whatever is supported by your devices, such as
heart rate or oxygen level
monitors. Through the app, you can monitor all these readings in one place.
As mentioned, the app’s ability to display sensor measurements is smooth and changes accordingly. Its
orange-and-white color scheme
makes it even easier to find features and actions in the app. By default, you can monitor your daily steps, calories, and distance traveled. Most metrics are accompanied by
visual representations
to make it easier to see your progress, from buttons that light up to different graphs.
While it is visually pleasing and has most of the fitness information you need, this app still suffers from a couple of
optimization issues
. One common problem that users report is that its
built-in music control function
doesn’t work. In other cases, the app itself
freezes randomly
. Although it can be mostly resolved by restarting the app, it can still get in the way of your activities.
An all-around fitness tool with minor issues
With better optimization for different devices and
solutions for its existing issues
, boAt ProGear has the potential to be the preferred health-tracking tool. It is
visually engaging
, unlike its contemporaries with flat visual presentations. Additionally, it makes it easy for a wide range of users to understand their progress, whether through
numerical or visual representation
of the different sensor inputs.
