Frequently asked questions

+

Last updated: October 28, 2026

+ +

Getting started

+ +

How do I install Edge?

+

On iPhone, join the TestFlight beta. + On Android, download the APK from + the latest release. + One app works with WHOOP 4.0, 5.0 and MG.

+ +

How do I update?

+

On iPhone, the TestFlight app installs new builds (you get an email when one is ready). + On Android, open the newer APK and it installs over the old one, keeping your data.

+ +

Will my TestFlight access expire?

+

Each TestFlight build lasts 90 days. New builds are published before that, and your + access carries over to them.

+ +

Android says the app was blocked by Play Protect

+

Play Protect warns about apps installed from outside the Play Store that ask for + sensitive permissions. Edge's optional feature that buzzes the band for phone + notifications needs notification access, which triggers the warning. The APK on + the releases page is the one built from this repository's source.

+ +

How can I check a build is the real one?

+

Releases are built by GitHub Actions from the tagged source and published on the + releases page, which lists a + checksum for each file. Only install builds from there or from the TestFlight link above.

+ +

Pairing and syncing

+ +

My band won't pair, or it says connected but no data arrives

+
    +
  1. Forget the band in Edge and in your phone's Bluetooth settings.
    2. +
  2. Take the band off your wrist and wait for the green light to go off.
    3. +
  3. Tap the top of the band firmly until it flashes blue (pairing mode).
    4. +
  4. Pair again from Edge.
    5. +
+

If it keeps happening, send a report from Settings → Report an issue + so the logs reach us.

+ +

Can I use the official WHOOP app at the same time?

+

Don't. The band sends its data to one app at a time, so two apps compete for it. + The official app can also install firmware updates on the band; Edge is tested on the + firmware your band has now, so keep the band away from it.

+ +

Does Edge need to stay open?

+

No. Edge keeps syncing in the background. If you force-close it, it catches up the + next time it opens, which can take a few minutes after a long gap.

+ +

Scores

+ +

Why don't I have a recovery score yet?

+

Edge learns your personal baseline from its own measurements, which takes about + 14 nights of wear. Until then, recovery stays empty instead of showing a number it + can't stand behind.

+ +

I imported my WHOOP history. Why do I still have to wait 14 nights?

+

Your WHOOP history is imported and shows up in your history and trends. But those + numbers were calculated by WHOOP's own methods, which measure HRV and resting heart + rate differently. Using them as your baseline would compare every new night from Edge + against a different method and skew your scores, so the baseline comes from Edge's own + nights.

+ +

Your data

+ +

Can I import my WHOOP or NOOP data?

+

Yes, from Profile → More settings → Export, backup, import → Import a file. + A WHOOP data export brings in your daily recovery, sleep and strain. A NOOP export + brings in its recorded sensor data, which Edge then scores itself.

+ +

I'm getting a new phone. How do I keep my data?

+

Everything lives on your phone, so deleting the app deletes your data. Before you + switch, make a backup from Export, backup, import, move the file to the + new phone, import it there, then pair your band again.

+ +

Does my data leave my phone?

+

No, unless you choose to send it, for example to Apple Health or Health Connect, an + AI coach you set up, or an issue report. The privacy policy + has the detail.
