5. POLAR FLOW MOBILE APP
With the Polar Flow mobile app you can follow and analyze your activity data on the go and have your data
synced wirelessly from your Polar Loop to the Polar Flow service.
It's compatible with iOS devices with Bluetooth Smart connectivity, starting with iPhone 4S and iPhone 5
series and iPod touch (5th gen. or newer) with iOS 6 operating system and newer.
Please note: to use Polar Loop with the Polar Flow mobile app, you need to set up the product with your
computer. More information about the product setup see Get Started (page 5).
Get the App and Pair Your Polar Loop
Make sure Bluetooth is toggled on in your iOS device and you have internet connection available for your
iOS device.
To start using the Polar Flow mobile app with Polar Loop
1.
Download the app from the Apple App Store.
2.
Open the app and sign in with your Polar account. Wait for the Connect device pop-up to appear.
3.
Press the button on your Polar Loop to pair it with the app.
Wear your Polar Loop close enough to the phone so that the pairing succeeds.
4.
Tap OK on your iOS device to accept the pairing.
Now your Polar account settings will be transferred to the app from the Polar Flow web service and the
app will display your personal activity data and guidance.
Sync Your Data
The Polar Flow mobile app will automatically sync your activity data and settings with the Polar Flow web
service when the app is running and you have your iOS device nearby. The automatic sync takes place
once an hour. You can also sync your data manually by tapping the touch button of your Polar Loop.
Even if the app isn't active on your iOS device, it's still running in the background. Pressing the button on
your Polar Loop will start the synchronization if there hasn't been one in the last 15 minutes.
Know More About Your Activity
Activity Benefit tracks all your active choices during the day and shows how they help you stay healthy.
It'll reward you when you've done enough and make you move if there's still a bit missing from your daily
activity goal. Activity Benefit gives you daily, weekly and monthly feedback, because the more you move,
the greater the health benefits. You can check up on how you're doing either from your mobile or from the
web.
Activity zones: Polar Loop tracks your daily activities at five intensity levels: resting, sitting, low, medium
and high. It measures the different activity zones (low, medium, high) so that the higher the intensity, the
faster your goal is reached. In the Polar Loop bracelet, 'UP' means low intensity, 'WALK' means medium
intensity, and 'JOG' means high intensity. You can find more examples for low, medium and high intensity
activities in Activity Guidance on mobile and at the Polar Flow web service.
Inactivity Alert: Reminds you when you have been sitting for too long.
Advanced activity analysis: The total active time tells you the cumulative time of body movements that are
good for your body and health. Besides the many details you get about your physical activity and all the
health benefits that come with it, you can also see the inactive periods and when you've been still for too
long.
