== Polar ProTrainer ==
This desktop software only works with Polar heart rate monitors, but offers the most sophisticated recording and analysis. Want to know how much time you spent each week at a high heart rate over the last 5 years? Polar reports can tell you.
'''Ratings (out of 5)'''
* Ease of use: 4 - just upload the data from your polar HRM. Extra data can be added manually.
* Reporting and analysis: 5 - very flexible and sophisticated reporting.
* Social: 0 - No option to share workouts online.
* Flexibility: 4 - A vast array of custom reporting options, and data to work with. However, no custom data or ability to add new data types (body fat for instance)
* Data Capture: Requires Polar HRM and captures lots of data automatically, with manual augmentation quite easy.
* Summary: Best option for long term, detailed analysis, but requires investment in Polar HRM and has no social networking.
