After reaching out to support and not hearing back, I've given up on this app. It doesn't sync correctly with Google Fit, is very buggy, and hasn't been refreshed in at least 10 years. It also doesn't integrate well with other chest straps, so you're forced to wear theirs. The Frontier X2 is a better chest strap, needs a better interface, and I'm sick of being ignored.

I like being able to see my performance and compare it to previous workouts. I can track my progress over time. With the latest update they took away some choices for the type of workout I'm doing, so it's more restricted. But overall, a good tool for monitoring your progress and body responses.

Used to be good, is now garbage. Have used it for a couple of years on rucks and everything worked perfectly. About the last 6 months it's been stopping at exactly 0.16 miles on every single outing I do. Just got a new phone, reinstalled the app, exact same problem. 3-hour ruck, 0.16 miles covered. Garbage. My son uses it and has the exact same issue. Avoid.
