Description:

Hi

I downloaded your app last night and tired to use it today but the only thing I could see was the timer ticking over. I was wearing my garmin hr strap and had been for a ride with my garmin edge so I know the strap was functional. please advise.

Also a request,
Could you add the option to choose max HR to be calculated on 220 age.
You have made this app to support a garmin device.
The standard that garmin devices (of which there are many) use to calculate Max HR is 220 - age.
(There %HR Zones are then based on this figure.)

Male: 202 - 0.55 * age May give a better estimate of max hr.
But it seems to be introducing another variable (and possible confusion or may make make the data less valid) using 2 different formulas to calculate the one variable - being max HR (and the corresponding % hr zones)

ex 47 yr male

gamin max hr | 220-47 = 173
hRecovery max hr | 202 - (.55*47) = 176

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Andrew for the feedback. On the point about the HR monitor, can you confirm the display has --- and if other apps pick up the strap ok? You raise a good point about the calculation (which I actually got from Garmin!) so I will change to match the new one being used.

This case has been duplicated to [00087] to develop the choice of new supported functions.
