Polar Flow app version 7.35.1 for Android

Polar should definitely consider whether their method of transferring data to Polar Flow should be completely changed. The problem occurs from time to time and it seems that only FlowSync can fix it, but Polar intends to discontinue FlowSync. What then? Every now and then I have to resort to FlowSyn

Question for Polar Loop

As the Polar Loop uses the Flow app, it is way behind Whoop in presentation, analysis, etc. That’s why all these people use Whoop as the standard. Sadly the Loop is barely in the game. Hopefully Polar itself remains in the game but already it’s well behind in its goals of updating Flow. Additionally

Switching to Polar — app worries me

All kind of rumors last year new look was coming out for Android before end of 2025 with an update for iOS following in 2026. Polar never really said anything that I saw. Polar flow app for both Android and iOS remains outdated. My Ignite 3 remains desk bound as a result. Rocking Garmin again.

Software update?

It's hard to say what Polar spends their software engineering time on, but firmware is definitely not a priority. Especially note that the features released months ago in January won't show until Q3 for the M3 an Ignite 3. And that's just Polar artifically gating sofware by sku.

Polar remains financially stable, but its equity ratio has fallen from 75% to 45% in three years.

All that reflects is people seem willing to pay those prices. As we all know, Garmin is really on a roll. Polar is anemic to the extent it doesn’t seem to get out regular software updates, new products. The Loop is a rehash of an earlier business offering with key software issues. So sorry but Polar

Polar Ignite 3 battery drain + false % after latest update — anyone else?

My Ignite 3 had the same problem. I tried everything: restarted it, factory reset, recalibrated the battery, and nothing, it seems to have only gotten worse. Finally, I contacted Polar and sent it to technical support. I just received a quote of R$ 1,620 (US$ 300) for the repair: "MODULE PRESENTS LO

Polar Ignite 3 battery drain + false % after latest update — anyone else?

Die Ignite 3 meiner Frau hat das gleiche Problem, alles direkt nach dem Update, nach Kontakt mit Polar heißt es nur, Uhr einsenden, die machen einen Kostenvorschlag, ca 270€ für Reparatur, von einem Softwarefehler wollen die nichts wissen. Wäre nicht das erste Mal, dass bei einem Update ein Bug eing

Trying to decide between Garmin Venu 4 and Polar Vantage V3

I had a Polar Ignite 3 and now a Venu 4, so not exactly the same but fairly comparable. I’d choose Garmin any day.

Polar, still Polar in 2026

Glad you’re pleased with Flow. For me it is despicable! Why my Polar Ignite 3 remains in a drawer. A waste! Would never recommend nor buy Polar again unless the app is brought in from the Dark Ages.

Endless voice notifications?

No solution, but I have the same issue on my ignite 3. When I start the training it says "session started" twice, the first km it also says twice and then no voice guidance for the other kms. I had the problem before (might have been with the Pacer, though?) where it would repeat four (?) times. Get
