Is there anywhere that an interested Android user could sign up to get an email when the Android version is available? I'd be happy to help beta test, and I'm sure other Android users would be interested in helping out as well.
Yep, woops, being a single founder of a company means you make dumb mistakes like this. I'll get one up right now. Edit: Done. http://eepurl.com/t7DzL
Thanks! Subscribed.
It would be interesting to see what the subscription stats look like after a day/week.

Hey sorry, I meant to get that up too. So, during my testing I've found that the Polar H7 is really the best heart rate monitor, bar none.
You don't need any electrode gel with it, it keeps perfect track of your heart, and it doesn't disconnect like some of the other monitors.

#14This isn't compatible with my iPod Touch from July-- I haven't updated to iOS 6 and I don't have intentions of updating.
Any chance it will be compatible later?

#15Have you considered adding an Amazon affiliate link to the website for purchasing a Bluetooth heart rate monitor?

#16Very cool! I've long thought that mobile devices could make biofeedback, and other medical data monitoring, available to the general public.
The phrase "mind control", however, may have negative connotations.

#17I clicked on the link really excited about learning how to control the minds of my friends and family so I could finally get them to do my bidding but was slightly disappointed to learn it only helped me control my own mind.
But seriously, I'm glad someone took the time to take something as beneficial as meditation and make its impact quantifiable. I'm excited to try it out.

#18This is a fantastic idea burnington! How hard is it to get multiple HR monitors to report to the same device? If it's doable then this style of app would be ideal for elite sports coaches.

Yes, sorry, this is the first app I built, and I kind of pushed it through while dealing with serious impacted wisdom teeth and surgery. It should already work with iOS 5, but I must have set the metadata wrong. I've added that fix to get working for you by the next release.

It's not that hard, and I'm already developing some cool stuff in this direction. Check out my blog to see where I'm going with this in the future: http://www.kpkaiser.com
