Note: MapBox enables tracking by default (when using the map to view activities). This can be disabled from the MapBox logo on the lower left corner of the map.

Ratings and reviews

This is apparently the only app that does the basic task of audibly notifying you when your heart rate monitor goes above or below a certain zone. Plus it has mapping, good announcements, and you can set up whatever time and distance intervals you want. I replaced three other apps with just this one. And it's not trying to sell you a subscription or spam you, either. Amazing.

Just started using this. Two quibbles so far. First, the app forces the user to change certain settings before allowing use. Second, when units are set to miles, the app still measures in meters up to the first mile (after that it switches to miles). I'm trying to gauge the accuracy of the app by seeing if app measurements align with known distances (e.g. will it say 1/2 mile traveled when I've traveled 1/2 mile?) and am stuck doing the conversion myself. Trust we want the units we say we want.

the app is great, the 2 major areas of improvements in my opinion are: - configurable units. I get a mix of meters and miles, there is no way to change that, I want meters only, like most people on this planet - a better UI. I guess I will eventually get used to it, but I was confused with the UI for interval training, I wasn't sure if it was automatic or if I had to press buttons, it eventually worked but I don't know why.
