### 2/5 — Расходует батарею в фоновом

*2026-08-07*

Приложение на расходует  батарею в фоновом режиме  даже когда не активно. Я завершил тренировку в приложении. Не выгружал его из памяти. В течение следующих двух недель приложение тратило 19-35% общего заряда  в телефоне, будучи неактивным. Не знаю что оно делает, надеюсь не майнит.

**Developer response:** Дмитрий, спасибо за подробный отзыв. Мне жаль, что приложение продолжало расходовать заряд после завершения тренировки. В версии 1.9.0 я улучшил завершение фоновой активности — это должно заметно снизить расход батареи после тренировки. Пожалуйста, обновите приложение. Если проблема повторится, обновите отзыв или свяжитесь со мной — я постараюсь разобраться.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-06-11*

You get only 3 workouts on free version

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The free version includes 3 workouts per month so users can try the app before subscribing. A subscription unlocks the full workout library and premium features. We understand that this setup may not be right for everyone, and we appreciate you sharing your experience.

### 4/5 — Зоны пульса

*2026-04-13*

Сделайте, пожалуйста, отображение зон пульса (сколько по времени в каждой зоне) в результатах тренировки

Update: имеется ввиду отображение зон при просмотре тренировки в стандартном приложении Apple (Fitness). Там отображается только общий график пульса, без зон

**Developer response:** Спасибо за уточнение!

К сожалению, тут есть ограничение со стороны системы.
В Apple Fitness (стандартном приложении) отображаются только те данные, которые доступны через HealthKit. А в HealthKit нет понятия зон пульса как готового типа данных — туда передаются только сами значения пульса.

Из-за этого:

* каждое приложение рассчитывает зоны пульса самостоятельно (по своим формулам и настройкам),
* и эти зоны не сохраняются в HealthKit как отдельные данные.

Поэтому большинство приложений (включая наше) не могут передать зоны пульса в Fitness, и сами Apple тоже не отображают их там для сторонних тренировок — иначе есть риск показать некорректные зоны.

Соответственно, повлиять на то, как именно тренировка отображается в Fitness, со стороны приложения невозможно.

При этом в самом приложении зоны уже доступны — как и писал ранее, их можно посмотреть через график «Пульс» в деталях тренировки.

Если у Apple когда-нибудь появится поддержка зон пульса в HealthKit — сразу добавлю поддержку 👍

### 5/5 — Matrix TF50 + FTMS

*2026-01-26*

Works very well to control Matrix TF50 treadmill using the XR-03 console.  Syncs HR with Apple Watch and integrates with Apple Fitness.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.10.1 — 2026-08-20

New in this one:
- Your shoes now go onto every run by themselves, and show up the moment you finish. Not interested? Delete your last pair and the feature steps aside.
- Set up Treadmill Care for a treadmill you already own: just tell it when you last serviced it.
- A new incline chart on every run, so you can see the hills you climbed.
- After a minute of standing still, we'll ask whether you're done.
- Race marks now follow you to your other devices.
- Deleting a workout behaves again, and charts stop drawing straight through a pause.
- Plus, we squashed a few pesky bugs trying to keep up on the treadmill.

Lace up, hit start, and keep running strong!

### 1.10.0 — 2026-08-17

New in this one:
- Shoes: log the distance on every pair, and know when one is worn out.
- Treadmill Care: an odometer for your machine, service due dates, and the deck guidance for your model.
- Mark a run as a race, then filter your history to races.
- Fixed a crash that could happen when using iPhone and Apple Watch together.
- UK units read in miles again, on every screen.
- Plus, we squashed a few pesky bugs trying to keep up on the treadmill.

Lace up, hit start, and keep running strong!

### 1.9.2 — 2026-08-12

The big one first:
- Workout Layouts no longer freezes the app. Opening it could lock everything up until you force-quit — it opens straight away now.
- Lose the connection mid-run? Your pauses and activity totals now survive the reconnect instead of starting over.
- On Apple Watch: set how hard a run felt with the Digital Crown, and the start screen sits properly on smaller watches.
- More of the app speaks your language instead of falling back to English.
- Plus, we squashed a few pesky bugs trying to keep up on the treadmill.

Lace up, hit start, and keep running strong!

### 1.9.1 — 2026-08-10

A steadier start, and a run that picks itself back up:
- Starting a workout is far more reliable: a belt that is already moving, or a treadmill still reporting its previous status, no longer stops the start from going through.
- Lost your treadmill mid-run? The workout now resumes on its own the moment it reconnects — until now only the automatic pause ever happened.
- The speed picker follows your treadmill's own speed range instead of assuming a fixed floor, and speed and incline both open on the value you are actually at.
- Steadier connections: each treadmill is checked once when it connects, and a lookup that fails no longer leaves things half-connected.
- Easier on the battery: with no workout running, the app now genuinely goes quiet in the background.
- Rate how hard it felt on a clear ten-point scale, with the Effort and State of Mind prompts properly translated everywhere.
- Better contrast in light mode, so the orange metrics actually read.
- Your Watch no longer beeps every half minute when an optional Health permission is switched off, and body measurements are now an explicit opt-in.
- Your saved shortcuts stay the way you set them instead of shrinking to whatever the connected treadmill reports, and Start honours "Use Apple Watch".
- Plus, we squashed a few more pesky bugs trying to keep up on the treadmill.

Lace up, hit start, and keep running strong!

### 1.9.0 — 2026-08-09

Bring the whole family along — and a lot more:
- Family Sharing: the subscription and the lifetime unlock now come in Family versions, shared with up to five family members.
- Pay monthly on the yearly plan: choose a monthly payment with a 12-month commitment instead of paying for the year all at once.
- The Track view now runs counter-clockwise from a bottom-right start line, like a real athletics track, and the lap brightens as you come round.
- Home shows where you stand: how many free workouts are left this month, and a clear warning if Health access is missing before a run goes unrecorded.
- Your treadmill's make and model now travel with your workouts into Health.
- Delete a workout straight from Sessions.
- Calmer screens: the music player steps aside when nothing is playing, and iPad gets its workout charts and layout sorted.
- Kinder to your battery: the app stops hunting for your treadmill in the background when no workout is running.
- Plus, we squashed a few more pesky bugs trying to keep up on the treadmill.

Lace up, hit start, and keep running strong!
