★★★★★ The apps I've used to track my activities with heart rate do not have any audio cues/alarms for heart rate zone training. This is the only app I've found that will give me reliable audio cues! So far I've only used it for the audio cues while tracking my activities simultaneously in my other app, but it runs nicely in the background (without logging anything) and accurately calls out my heart rate cues! So awesome! I like how customizable it is with the audio cues and the built-in Karvonen training zone calculator is handy. I did have some troubles getting my heart rate monitor (Polar H10) to give a reading at first. It could be that I'm also reading heart rate with the other app which is causing confusion, but eventually I got it working with the right combination of starting the apps and HRM. I just need to use it more to get familiar with the best way to start my apps and HRM. So far I'm super pleased! I do have some recommendations: 1. Add a notification icon when the app is running. It would be nice to see an icon when the app is ON. Right now I only know if the app is on if I hear the audio cues or look in my recent apps. 2. For the heart rate alerts, in addition to the actual heart rate read out and the phrases, it would be nice just to have a short tone option. Essentially a unique tone that alerts you to speed up and one to alert you to slow down. The voice readout is nice, but a simple tone would quicker and less of an interruption to my music/podcast when I just want to know if I'm going too fast/slow. Thanks for the awesome app!

★★★★★ A very good app considering that it is free and there are no ads. I especially like the voice alerts. So useful not having to look at screen all my heart rate watch. It's synced easily with my Tickr chest strap. I also like the rolling graph though I'd prefer a full screen graph as can be seen on the sports gear tracker app. :)

★★★★★ App seems to stop working intermittently. Sometimes it works for my entire run - while at other times it stops registering HR after a few minutes. It could be a problem with my "power saving" settings. I have an OPPO phone and the power setting are a bit confusing. I normally run a music App and then start HATSHEPUT. BUt sometimes I start HATSHEPUT first and then the music pp, perhaps this makes difference? I will be more consistent in future and make sure I turn the power saving service off before using this App. The current version of the App that I have does already say to turn the power saving off - but I was not sure about what to do. I like the App.
