Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers. Everything you need to know about getting started with HPT.
Getting Started
When will the app be released?
We’re on track for a public launch in Early Fall 2025. Join the wait-list to be first in line and receive an exclusive early-bird discount.
What is the “wait-list”?
Add your email to reserve a spot, get launch-day notifications, and receive a one-time discount code as a thank-you for early support.
Do I need to buy a special sensor or puck?
No. HPT uses the motion sensors already inside your phone and smartwatch—nothing extra to buy, charge, or tape to your stick.
Compatibility & Devices
Which devices are supported?
Mobile: iOS 15+ and Android 11+. Wearables: Apple Watch Series 4+ (watchOS 9+) and Wear OS 3+ watches. A paired watch unlocks full skating metrics.
Can I use my account on both iPhone and Android?
Yes—your account is tied to your email. Log in on any supported device and your data will sync automatically.
Do I need a smartwatch?
A watch is required for skating-specific metrics (stride count, speed, shot power). You can still log workouts manually without one.
Features & Data
How is average skating speed determined?
for each GNSS_fix:
blend = Kalman(GNSS_fix, inertial_estimate)
distance += blend.segment_dist
time += blend.segment_time
avg_speed = distance / time
How does HPT calculate stride count and cadence?
for each 3-axis-gyro sample:
if Ω > 1.6 rad/s for ≥120 ms:
stride++
cadence = (stride / skate_time) * 60
How does the AI actually work?
Our models compare your session data to your own history and anonymised peers of similar age/skill, then surface patterns (e.g., 3rd-period speed drop) and convert them into actionable tips.
Is HPT useful for goalies?
Yes—goalies track heart-rate zones, push explosiveness, and drill-by-drill intensity today. A full goalie module (save-reaction & crease movement) is on the roadmap—join the beta wait-list in-app.
Which performance metrics are tracked?
Stride count & cadence, average/max speed, acceleration bursts, distance skated, time-on-ice, shot count & shot-power estimate, heart-rate zones, recovery time, and more.
Can I export my data or share reports?
Pro users can export CSV/JSON or generate sharable PDF reports—perfect for coaches, trainers, or scouts.
Integrations
Does HPT sync with Apple Health or Google Fit?
Yes—workout summaries, heart-rate, active energy, and VO₂ estimates write back automatically (with your permission) so everything stays in one place.
Plans & Pricing
What are the plan differences?
Free Starter: unlimited logs, 30-day trends.
Plus \$3.99/mo: advanced analytics, goal setting.
Pro \$6.99/mo or \$59.99/yr: AI insights, PDF/CSV export, leaderboards.
Team pricing starts at \$199/season for 20 players.
Can I cancel or change plans anytime?
Yes—manage your subscription in the App Store or Google Play. You keep Pro features until the current billing period ends.
Do you offer team or family plans?
A Coach’s Dashboard with roster management and bulk licences is in private beta. Contact sales for early access or volume discounts.
Privacy & Security
Is my performance data secure and private?
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). You control if/when to share reports, and you can export or delete data anytime. We never sell personal data.
Who owns my data?
You do—HPT is the data processor. Delete or export any time via Profile → Privacy → Manage Data.
Battery & Performance
Will HPT drain my watch battery?
A typical 90-min skate uses ~25% battery on Apple Watch Series 7 and ~30% on Pixel Watch 2, thanks to adaptive sensor sampling when you’re on the bench.
Team & Coach Tools
Is there a coach or desktop dashboard?
Yes—our web dashboard (beta) shows team-wide analytics, drill breakdowns, and comparisons. Export to CSV/JSON or share secure links.
Support
How do I get help?
Use in-app chat (Settings → Help) or email support@hpt.pro—we aim to reply within 24 hours on weekdays.
