Stable, but Limited and Opaque

I’ve been using this app to track alongside other recorders and using it to “merge” the two files after the fact. It’s a janky setup but that’s not this App’s fault. To start with the good: It’s pretty stable once its connected. The screens are super basic but data rich. I know that’s not what some people are here for, but it does what it says on the box: Tracks Your Work at the Gym. It works more consistently than Zwift, in my experience. Though I’m not sure where it lands vs Kinomap and the like. I don’t much like all the bells and whistles over there, though. The bad: One star removed for obscured metrics on screen? If you look at the resulting file, there are some metrics (say, on a treadmill or elliptical) that are not available as options in the GUI… why? You’re already going through the trouble of recording it. I liked the data. Why not let me see it during a workout? Another star removed for the opposite: Metrics that ARE available during a workout, but not recorded… dude, what? Same question. This could be NPE’s redemption after all the vaporware they’ve put out. It is a legitimately helpful and sturdy app that could be great. But they’re ghosts. I like what you guys do. I love that you all care about standards compliance. Just like. Where are you? Why are you being so ghostly?

Doesn't work. Nobody cares. Bad app

Doesn't work. I connect to machine on Bluetooth in phone, but app never downloads history. Annoying. It does find my heart rate monitor but doesn't do jack else!
