Button to stop counting while you are on public transportation #150

First of all thank you for this amazing app, it works amazingly!

My only issue is that I noticed if I take public transport the count keeps going (I suppose vibrations trigger phone accelerometer), which is a pain if you, like me, use pedometer in your daily life and not just when you do sport.

As there is no way to stop it counting when you are on bus/tram for example, you have to manually force the app to close, then remember you closed it and open it again.

I was thinking about a solution like a button you could press to stop counting when you are on public transport and once you you get off, you press it again it starts counting again. It could remind you pedometer is not counting every X minutes once you pressed such button, so you are sure you don't have it off once you get off public transportation.
