Hyperice sent ripples through the health and wellness industry when they introduced their products to the world. Now they have done it again with the Hyperice APP!! It takes the guesswork out of your Warmup and Recovery and provides you with an Interface that is easy to use, easy to understand, and motivating to follow. It is literally a Virtual Healthcare Companion that seamlessly integrates with Apple Health and Strava to recommend Protocols to aid you in recovery based on your daily activity. The User Experience is PHENOMENAL and setup takes seconds. During setup you select what Hyperice products you own and all of the Programs are then filtered based on them. It doesn’t get any easier than this. Stellar Job! No matter what age, level or sport most Athletes want to skip straight to Play and neglect any effort to warmup or help themselves recover. Hyperice has been a game changer in this regard because they provided the Tools and Protocols that Prime us to PERFORM our BEST and facilitate healthy and necessary recovery so that we can continue to be the BEST versions of ourselves with minimal aches, pains, soreness and better QUALITY of movement. I’m a Masters Track Athlete and the Hyperice Products are a daily routine for me. They keep me fresh, they keep me safe, and keep my body moving the way its intended to. If you aren’t already on board, what are you waiting for?
UPDATED REVIEW. I gave this app five stars a couple months ago. Wish I could give it five more stars and some. The app just keeps getting better. They just added vocal coaching instructions to go along with music and video when you’re using the HyperSmart app. I’ve been using this app for a couple month along with my HyperVolt Plus with Bluetooth. I can honestly say there seems to be improvements made to the app regularly. It is better today than when I used it two months ago. I provided feedback on several occasions and see that my input was received and improvements implemented. It’s great when a company is willing to listen to feedback from it’s users and then constantly use that feedback from its users to make improvements to their products. No wonder they are number one in their respective market. They are winners and they work with winners from KOBE and the NBA, NBL, NFL, soccer, track and field and tennis with three time grand slam world champion Naomi Osaki. No wonder they are the official partners of the NBA. Kudos to the entire Hyperice team... you guys do businesses the right way. Keep winning!!
Update: latest update has listened to customer feedback, thank you! Original: With a heavy pricetag and having certain things only able to be performed from within the app, the app experience should match the pricetag of the product, and at the moment it does not. I am an app developer and with some very simple and obvious bug fixes you would probably raise most people's 1/2 stars to a 3/4 alone. I've honestly debated returning the product due to the app experience but hey big companies understand monopolies and where to cut costs and they decided the app was it. Poor user experience. Let an exec use the app for twenty minutes trying all different user stories and you'll probably get the budget pretty quickly, if there's any care for user's experience.
I’ve had the hypervolt for a while and didn’t really know how to use it till I got the app. All I was doing was guessing how to use it and when to use it. It has helped me learn how to recover much faster and warm up for lifting. Also Has helped my knee pains and also many other body pains from injury or just soreness. The app is definitely a 10/10. It gives you video help on how to do simple instructions to help you warm up, cool down, and how to work injured parts of your body. It is also used by many world class athletes, the entire NBA, and many other well known people. There’s Also has a very cool feature where you can see how many calories you’ve burned with apple health. If you haven’t downloaded it yet I would, it’s a life changer. No other app or company is like this one.
I really like my Hypervolt device, and overall the App is a great idea but it could be improved in two areas to provide a better user experience. First, when looking for routines the filter option is a bit cumbersome for Hypervolt devices. If you select a different Hyperice device it will filter routines according to that device (eg, Hypervolt Go), so for now it’s a bit hit and miss finding routines by having to scroll through All to select a right one that’s compatible with the Hypervolt. Second, the recommendations are a bit redundant. For instance if it notices I went for a run earlier that day, it will recommend various routines based on devices I don’t actually have. So again, a bit useless. If the filter and recommendations can be more tailored to the device(s) that a user may have linked to the app, then I believe the app will become a much better user experience all round.
Having been an active athlete for nearly 65 years and experiencing back surgery, shoulder surgery, broken bones, sprains and strains, and other array of injuries; recovery time has been a very big part of my life. Worth it… Absolutely. However, recovery was always so difficult until I was introduced to the Hyperice products. The hyper volt, Norma tech, and the various ICE applications have changed my life for the better. I never thought there would be such products to use from a prevention standpoint and recovery standpoint in the sports activity world. This is definitely a five star company with five star products. I’m so excited to have this application at my fingertips. I’ve been waiting for this! They have my highest recommendation.
The Hypervolt Go works great and the instructors are very good….but this app needs some real fixes. Here are my recommendations for using either iPhone and iPad. 1. It would be great to scroll back while watching an exercise in order to do the routine on both sides, left or right. 2. When the exercise video starts I can’t see the instructor demonstrate the routine completely. I have to keep fidgeting touching the screen options for a few minutes to get rid of a mostly whited out screen with a timer on it overlaying the instructions. 3. When the exercise video ends it would be great to have a restart button in order to do both sides of body. 4. When the exercise video ends it would be great to have a back button to see all the other exercises without closing the app and reopening the app.
Updated review from 2 to 3 stars: They’ve since updated the app so that the HyperSmart score is calculated after each routine. This works for the HyperVolt 2 but was disappointed to learn that recovery with the Venom Back isn’t calculated into the score. Every page still takes 2-4 seconds to load which is super annoying in 2022. It suggests routines but you have to click through a few different screens before you can actually start. Venom also does not have routines or remember the last settings. After venom dies, 50% of time I have to turn Bluetooth off/on on my phone to connect. It also says I’ve only completed 25% of my routine if the venom dies during, even if I was only seconds away from completing it. Much to be desired here…
A personal healthcare companion at your fingertips!
This app is an absolute game-changer! It literally is like having a recovery companion with you all the time. I love the reminders, routines and most especially how it tells you which attachments to use on specific areas. That’s an awesome touch because I always get asked how to use all the different attachments. As a sports therapist in the industry, I often get asked “well, who works on you when you need recovery?” and my reply, “Hyperice.” My body gets beat up from spending hours on my feet, manually working on clients. Their products have literally saved me by helping me to recover so that I can get up and do what I love to do again and again PAIN-FREE each day!
Ever since Corona hit I’ve been working from home. I used to be really good about having a fitness routine and stretching and stuff, but now that I’m at home all the time, the hours just blend together. My friend told me to check out this app and it’s totally gotten me back on track - I connected it to my Strava and now it reminds me to do a little warmup routine and get moving after I’ve been sitting on my couch working for like 6 hours straight. My neck is already feeling less painful since I’m doing a routine to help make up for all these hours of WFH posture. And since I started wearing my Strava again I’m even getting back into light workouts. Definitely helping me feel like less of a workaholic homebody.
I’ve had a hypervolt for a while and love using it, but I was never really sure I was using it right, or most effectively. After just a few times of using the app routines as a guide, I can already feel the difference. I’m recovering from my workouts and less sore the next day. I connected it to my Apple health and now it reminds me when, and most importantly how, to best use my hypervolt before and after I do something active, or at other times too: I’m using my hypervolt even more, in the morning to help relieve stiffness and before I go to sleep to help me calm down. Can’t wait to keep using and see the long-term effects on my health.
I am an active person in my mid 40s with a job that requires a lot of desk time and kids that require a lot of wrestling as soon as I get home. I really needed something that could help to breakdown the stress that I carry in my shoulders/neck and also help me recover once I finish a long bike ride. The Hypervolt product was a huge lifesaver as it literally changed my routine in how I prep for “after” periods. Not only is it working through the knots, but it calming as well. This new App is perfectly timed, as it will help to keep me on schedule but also show my progress with their suggested activities. This is a true game changer and I am excited for things to come!
I have been participating in sports for as long as I can remember. In my playing career I had access to all the tools I needed but once that was over I was struggling to take of my body in a way that allowed me to optimize my performance in workouts to stay in shape. I’d go for a hard workout and then be sidelined for a week because my body just didn’t feel right. Once I started use the hypervolt and all of hyperice other tools my recovery and overall performance has sky rocketed. I know use all these tools both pre and post workout as part of my routine to warm up and properly recover. Exactly what I needed to continue to be the athlete I wanted to be
Besides being way too intrusive and invasive by shoving down way too many routine suggestions (ever hear of the saying “paralysis by analysis”?), it’s missing one easy and must for every routine/body part: list the device and which headpiece should be used. Why aren’t simple icons/photos used before the user starts the routine??? Instead the user has to try to make out what the narrator is saying and seeing what the demonstration model is using AFTER the routine has already begun. How does that make any sense??? Yes it might be minor, but it’s annoying enough that I don’t even want to bother with the app. Oh and what would you have your demonstration models wear black colored clothes when the device is black??? It makes it impossible to see the device. So many basic small items were completely overlooked.
Listen friends, this is the best massager you will get on the market. Living in this Covid time, Ive spent a lot of time at home sitting on my couch. I am fortunate enough to be able to work from home but without a proper chair I’ve noticed my back pain increasing. Once I received the hyper volt I knew just based on the high end value I’d get proper care for my back pain. After one use I saw an immediate difference in the mobility and pain in my back. After a few weeks of continuous use I returned to normal mobility and am able to focus on work now that my pain has subsided. If you are questioning buying - don’t! Get it now you will not regret it!
I used to be super active but ever since Covid I’ve totally fallen off. I decided it was time for a change and that I wanted to start working out again, but I was really scared of the soreness that comes with restarting moving after being a couch potato for weeks. I got this app and used my hypervolt like it instructed before and after my workouts, and I’m literally not sore at all. The score thing is great for letting me know when I’ve recovered adequately enough that I won’t be sore the next day, and the routines show me exactly where and how to use my hypervolt. It’s only been a few days so far but I am back on track and feeling way better.
This app is incredible in guiding those that own any of Hyperice equipment and use it the right way to for pre and post recovery. The Hypervolt has significantly helped my muscles and recovery time and also have prevented any injuries. I rely on the Hypervolt as a go to before and after my runs and workouts. Before this app I was hesitant to know how to use it correctly and constantly went to their website to check as they had videos to show ways to hit certain muscle groups with the individual head attachments. With this new app by Hyperice I am even more excited to get the most out of my Hypervolt.
When the app works, it’s wonderful. I’ve only had the normatec 3 legs and hip attachment for a little over a week. I’ve probably spent more time waiting on the app to work than actually using the device. It’s rather annoying. The routines and such are very nice to have and quite a few to select from. But… honestly, if I’m paying as much as these cost and it has Bluetooth, which I’m guessing works into the cost, make the app work, if it’s an issue maintaining their app, get rid of it and the Bluetooth on the machine. If you know how to use these without the app, save the headache and don’t bother with it, if you’re like me and need some instruction on how to use, get the app and be prepared to restart it a minimum of 10 times for it to finally start the compression stuff.
Using The Hyperice App motivated me to use the massager as part of my daily routine
This app has been teaching me how to use my massage gun in new ways. My daughter gave me a hypervolt plus for Christmas last year, but I didn’t really know what to do with it so it’s just been sitting in a cabinet. She downloaded the app for me the other day and showed me how to find routines and follow along, and now I’m doing a hand and forearm routine every day to help with my carpal tunnel. I didn’t even know you could use it on your hands! Even as I type this, my hands feel better than they have in years.
I have both the Hypervolt and the Hypersphere Mini - if you aren’t using any of this technology you really should. I am not an elite athlete by any means but this helps cut down recovery time tremendously and keeps me moving. Hyperice, the guided routines and suggestions are great - would you allow me to make one? Please, please, please allow users to enter their own usage into the app or make the app capable of running in the background. I have a terrible Hyperice score despite using the equipment almost daily because I can’t keep the app running the entire time. Thanks for considering.
Two highlights of the app are it allows you to click on a body part to find a routine and connect to health apps. Being able to click on a body part and then be taken to multiple routines is great because it allows you to specifically target your tight muscles and make sure you’re massaging them correctly! Another thing I love is that the app can connect to Strava and suggest massage routines based on your recent activity. This is such a cool feature and is sure to help you recover faster! Great job Hyperice :)
you can't consistently use two devices at the same time. For example you can't use the app to configure a Venom heat device and also the calf squeezing device. when you start any device, it locks you into that screen and you can't control another device until it's done. This seems like a big limitation for a company that wants one app to control everything. when you're using the squeezing , there's a left arrow that you can use to escape and go to the Venom 2 control But the reverse is not true… As soon as you start heating things with the venom 2, there's no left arrow so you can go to the other device settings
Thank you Hyperice for making this Educational tool, at the same time, elevating recovery culture at the pedestal it needs to be! I’ve been a long user of their products and this app is gold! Not only does it use Apple health and strava, the Hyperice App will curate a customized recovery routine based on your activities. Introducing, (HYPERSMART), according to Forbes they have a proprietary algorithm to use the devices you own and have routines ready at your disposal! Your products have had a tremendous impact on my daily life !! Now I have a bible of routines to reference anyone 🙌🏾🙌🏾You have to try this app out!
Love the hypervolt plus and how much it helps me. The app was great too but after a few days with not using it, I was logged off and can’t get back in. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it, tried to change my password (enter at least 10 characters, numbers, symbols, etc) and after a minute or two I get a error message saying password needs to be more then 5 characters. I tried just logging in with my apple account and it scans my face, gives blue check that it recognizes it and then just stays at the login in screen. Not sure what I’m doing wrong here but want to get access to app again
I have a hypervolt (non-bluetooth version) and love it. When I first got it, the app showed a lot of good videos on how best to use it. Today (1/4/21), none of the videos work for me. My app is updated, so I am not sure what the issue is. It appears to start a countdown to when the routine will start, but it gets stuck at 5. I am not sure if the issue is because I have a non-bluetooth version and it wants to sync (used to work before and videos will show with no problems) or if it is because the app is buggy. Too bad, I really think the videos could have been so helpful for me to maximize the use of my hypervolt. I also recommend a better search function. Please fix and allow your non-bluetooth version owners of hypervolt to view the videos.
As a healthcare professional in the sports medicine world, whom has done the rehab and performance training to tens of thousands of athletes, I appreciate the movement of hyperice and Normatec towards making the process of muscle recovery easier and more accessible to everyone. Recovery is that “missing pillar” by so many athletes and with continued education on its importance, and the continued evolution of recovery equipment, not only can each performance session be maximized, but maybe we can reduce the incidence of overuse injuries. This app is a great addition towards that goal!
Looks like they spent time and money on videos and graphic design, but completely cut corners on development and usability. This app is full of bugs and problems, making it almost useless. Ex. when starting a routine to check it out, you cannot quit the routine without finishing it. To quit, you actually have to kill the app/process. (Some people still don’t even know how to do that with an iPhone.) Also it requires Bluetooth access right after you tell it you only have a device without Bluetooth. Finally after telling it I have a hypervolt 2 go and want to do a routine for feet, it shows a demo of someone using parts that don’t come with this device. What a disappointment. ☹️
This app is convenient, however, when you open it on an iPhone, it’s difficult to navigate once you select the program because part of the app, the part with control features, runs off of the page and you can’t access it. I tried turning the phone to landscape to see if it would adjust, but it doesn’t. As a result, you lose a lot of the customizing options that it has. I’m sure it’s an easy fix on the developer side, but as of the date of this review, it’s not working properly.
I have really been struggling with the app since the latest update. I used to love using certain routines that would auto adjust the intensity throughout the routine. Now the app constantly switches from auto to manual??? I switched the setting from manual to auto countless times and it wouldn’t stick. The whole point is that the device goes through the routine automatically and the user doesn’t have to fiddle with the settings…really disappointed. In general I also wish you could avoid seeing routines for equipment you don’t have. It’s a waste of time to scroll through.
After years in the military and law enforcement, back surgery was inevitable. My #1 go to device for recovery was the Venom Back. For months after surgery I utilized this device on a daily basis for just the perfect amount of heat and massage. A little further into my recovery, I also started utilizing the Hypervolt in an effort to target specific muscle groups. To say Hyperice has been an incredible blessing would be an understatement. Do yourself a favor, jump on this now and thank me later.
I don’t like to have to switch between knees so I purchased two Hyperice X to run at the same time. The workaround I’ve found is connect one, set it up, close app, connect two, set it up, done. But now that isn’t working it keeps finding the first one and after the fourth or fifth try it’ll find the second one. Very annoying. Wish there was a button to just run everything at once(I also use the venom 2 for my back) as it is so tedious to get everything running. But it works…most of the time.
I’ve had my hypervolt gun for a few months now and always wondered how I could target certain muscles or when to use certain heads. This app is a game changer because it provided guided videos of what you should do when targeting a specific group of muscles! My neck/traps have been so sore lately from sitting at a desk all day & I did the 3 min “trap glide focus” video & I can’t already tell this app will help me recover so well!! Highly recommend
The app has great features and the potential to be really great... It just isn't right now. A lot of little problems make it frustrating at times. 1) Can't add favorite routines to profile so you constantly have to look for it 2) Hypervolt Plus with Bluetooth continually shuts off during routine for no reason 3) Doesn't show you the next attachment needed for the next exercise during the 5 sec countdown, making you have to continually pause to check and dip into exercise time 4) A lot of the routines are the exact same with different names (Ex: Sleep Glide Flush and Nightly Glide Flush are basically the same thing) 4) AND MOST OF ALL... I've had Apple Health connected and I'm at 10 routines completed and I still have no Hypersmart score. In addition, it doesn't even tell you when or how it will finally give you a score. They just released the app so it's not so bad but these are things that should be taken care ASAP.
I’ve had my Hypervolt (non Bluetooth) for a couple of years and I use it almost daily. It is my favorite recovery tool. I downloaded the app without thinking it would be useful but I was wrong! I’m loving the focus it brings to working on specific body areas and the new ideas it offers for recovery. I am using more of the heads that come with the hypervolt and I’m spending more time on each body area. Well worth the download!
Was given the hypervolt as a gift and I gotta say it changed everything. As someone whose played basketball professionally and works out a lot this is the perfect warm up and recovery tool. The body has been through a lot and you gotta take care of it. I’ve let so many try it and they love it so much they get themselves one. Athlete or non athlete you gotta have this. Tightness and mobility problems leads to injury in everyone so take care of the body.
The new update to this excellent up falls extremely short. I used the previous version with my Hypervolt Plus, leveraging the Bluetooth tech to go through my sessions with the Auto setting effectively. Since the new update, only the Manual setting has worked. Also, searching for routines with the various filters is not as effective as the previous version, where I could simply select the muscle group in the human anatomy diagram. One way to improve that would have been to add more details to the anatomy model. I hope you can fix the Auto setting and bring back the human anatomy diagram!
This app has all of the features anyone would want from a wellness app! The user interface is so easy to navigate, there are tons of videos that suggest new and appropriate ways to use all of the incredible Hyperice products, and it can connect to your Apple Health or Strava to provide even more comprehensive wellness data. The best recovery products on the market have just leveled up!!
I’ve been a huge fan of Hyperice from there first foam roller to the hypershpere and now the hypervolt . Foam roller and hypershpere great for all over muscle stimulation, but the hypervolt is amazing for that deeper tissue penetration. For me especially around my neck it gets super tight so the hypervolt just gets into the muscle easier to relieve the tension around that area!! Great products, can’t wait to see what you come out with next. Great for all types of users from average joe to professional athletes!!
I’ve had the Hypervolt Plus for a few months and am pretty obsessed with it. But now that I have the app I feel like I actually know how to use it correctly! I’ve been doing the recommended routines and using it on different parts of my body and it’s like getting a massage every day. I stopped going to the gym since covid and instead I run every morning and now with this app my recovery has become my favorite new part of my fitness routine.
When I first got my Hypervolt I played with it and thought, this feels good, but I really didn’t have much of a sense of how to use it therapeutically. Then I figured out that the app is full of useful instructional videos to help you target specific muscle groups for recovery depending on what kind of workout(s) you’ve been doing. And it definitely helps keep your pacing methodical, kind of like the 2 minute timer on an electric toothbrush.
This is the evolution to an already amazing product line. Love the connectivity to Strava and the catered suggestions. As a competitive runner averaging 45-55mpw, proper recovery is essential to injury prevention and getting the most out of my body. My hypervolt is the first thing I grab when I finish a big run and I use my hypersphere daily to stay loose. The app is amazing in its suggestions and guidance that I haven’t thought of in the past. Couldn’t recommend this more
Nothing but positive things to say about this company and their products. I ran a lot of stadiums when I was an athlete and the only thing that relieved my pain were the hyperice products. I remember after running one stadium that I was unable to walk because my calves were in so much pain. the hypervolt was truly the only thing that could take the knots out. Thanks for making such great products! Two thumbs up! 👍🏼👍🏼
Extremely buggy with the Bluetooth connection at times. Unpolished, needs work. For example, I’m in the middle of a heating session with my Hyperice. I exit the app. Come back to the app to turn the heat back down because its too hot, but the app doesn’t carry on the session and I have to rush to start a new session while my leg is burning up. Why not just add control to the Hyperice?? When the app works it works great, but recently it’s been very frustrating. And yes, I’m on the latest firmware.
I’ve had my hypervolt for 2 years. It’s been a great tool for my pre and list workout routines. All this time I’ve always tried to look up any information on improving my routine or if I was using it correctly. This app is the answer to all my questions! I am always impressed with what hyperice has done! This app and syncing with the Bluetooth version is just another step in innovation on recovery!
Hi I loved the old version of this app which was so intuitive to use… you simply had to choose the muscle group that you wanted to use the Hyperice massager on and it gave you the routines… now you have to try and figure out which routines do what. Why would you completely change how the app works? VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED. I’m frustrated from trying to find/ figure out what routine to use. You took something that was EASY AND SIMPLE to use and made it HARD and FRUSTRATING to use. I’m so DISAPPOINTED in the changes. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK TO SIMPLY CLICKING THE MUSCLE GROUP YOU WANT TO MASSAGE. It also doesn’t load into my Whoop app any more
When my local gym closed due to the pandemic, I shifted to working out at home. Early on, I started using this app and discovered great ways to prepare for workouts, and even better ways to recover after them. It’s simple to use and easy to follow and provides great instruction for athletes. This app made a great difference in changing my routine and I highly recommend giving it a try!
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’ve been using this app for a day now and so far the routines are NEXT LEVEL. I have a few Hyperice products (my boyfriend bought them and I play around with them occasionally), but I never really knew what to do with them. These routines are perfect for the kind of person who likes to have a personal trainer type of guidance (aka me). It’s only been a day but I’m really feeling this app.
Finally an app to go with my Hypervolt plus! The app is nicely made and easy to use. I like the features where it has an option to select routines to target certain body parts or suggested routines based on daily activities ranging from just being working at home to hiking or a HIIT workout. And it’s a plus where it can sync to Apple Health and Strava. Can’t wait for more features from future updates!
I saw Zion Williamson wearing a new device the other night while he was resting on the bench. It made me curious. I was quickly able to see that it was a HyperIce Venom Black massaging device. I downloaded the app to see what the company was about. The app is sleek, intuitive and very helpful. I connected to my Apple health so I can track my data more seamlessly. Would recommend as an alternative to all the others!
This app makes using my Hypervolt so much better! I’ve had the Hypervolt for a few months but would only use it for my sore muscles after kickboxing , a long work day, or going to the gym. Now that I’ve started using the app, I’m learning how to use it for warm ups and all the other functionalities to target different muscle groups. This app is just what I needed to use my Hypervolt as it’s meant to be used - to its full potential.
