Zones are useless tbh unless you know your max HR. My watch tells me i'm in zone 2 but that was based on a value I put in for max which i care not to test anytime soon.

I updated the app "Manual option for max heart rate" and "Manual zone bound settings" gives you now the flexibly to set up whatever numbers you want for the zones. Hope that helps.

Nicely done! UI is clean and I really like that you give different options on how to calculate the zones since most apps just take the simplified % of max HR for zone calculations.

The ability to set max heart rate manually would be appreciated, neither of five available formulas provide accurate estimates at least for me.

Can you show a summary of what the zones ranges are based on the data I have entered?

that's a new feature of the update I shipped this night. In both Max Heart Rate and Resting Heart Rate Settings you directly see how the setting changes affect your zones lower and upper bounds in BPMs. Hope that helps.
