The app used to brilliant. Simple to use and the only one that connected (still connects) to the Kalenji Heart Rate strap that Decathlong sold quite a few years back. Unfortunately, while the app connects and displays - as many people have mentioned - the app crashes on attempting to export any recording. While the company still exists, there is no reply to emails :-(. It is probably just some changes in permissions in Android so may not be a big task.

User Reviews
Users praise the app for its simplicity, ease of use without registration, accurate Bluetooth heart rate sensor pairing, and clear display of heart rate zones. It meets the needs of users wanting focused heart rate zone feedback without distractions. Common issues include app crashes when exporting data, lack of real-time notifications or alerts related to heart rate zones, absence of fitness tracking enhancements, and missing dark mode for AMOLED screens. Overall, the app is highly regarded for its minimalist approach but could benefit from stability improvements and additional user-friendly workout features.

I like the App. One user said it doesn't give you csv files. I get 2 files one gives the time between beats . in a spreadsheet you can calc your HRV. The other csv gives heart rate and seconds. Strip the text if you want to import to a spreadsheet. the basic view gives all i need to see.
