Seems super cool just wish there were people on more often so I can get the full experience of using the app! So far no ads, super nice dark mode (and a light mode option), and settings to make your heartbeat exact (I recommend using something to tell bpms then mark it)

Thank you for the feedback! The app has an experimental feature which can measure your heart rate with the camera. Try it out, it worked on 2/3 of my test devices. Also I'm happy to say I won't add mandatory or annoying banner ads, but I'm considering optional options for users who want to support development.

App has a good design and is surprisingly feature-rich, but the app simply does not vibrate or make sound on my phone.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm sorry the app didn't work as intended. I will look into this problem in the future.

Thank you for the feedback! Other users had no problems with setting a username. Maybe can you describe the problem in more detail? Also if I remember correctly, setting a username is not mandatory. You get a popup, but you can use the app nonetheless and your friends can add you by your Google account name.
