What is Pulsalarm?
Current Momentum
v1.1
In this update, some features are added that users of my app had requested and now make the app even more user-friendly. - Now also works with always-on display on the Apple Watch - New setting: warning tone only once when leaving the pulse limit - Adoption of the pulse limits from the training zones - Pulse lower limit setting reduced to 30 BPM - Pulse upper limit setting increased to 220 BPM And thanks for your bug reports: - Elimination of a bug that caused music playback to stop on certain settings. - Elimination of a bug that in some cases caused the lower pulse limit not to be disabled And one more note: Since the introduction of the always-on display, for battery life reasons, the data transfer from the Apple Watch to the iPhone was changed. This resulted in the pulse only being transmitted when the Apple Watch is in an active state. Therefore, it may happen that the pulse display on the iPhone is delayed. I am still working on solving this particular case, which only affects the display on the iPhone.
