The app is great except that at some point losing heart rate bluetooth signal and measurement by gps is only average. The price is other category, think 54,99 eur for 1year is too expensive.

Solid app with great price, but it loses the heart rate bluetooth signal from senzor sometimes and the adverts are so intrusive, little frustrating to use. However, the actual app is pretty good, and has some unique features.
