From AppStore review

Well executed and easy to use. Would be perfect if it included total active calories or time in certain heart rate zones***. I would pay extra for those features.

Thank you for developer response! Looking forward to the September release.

***Heart rate zones are calculated as a percentage of your max heart rate. Zones are usually Peak, Cardio, Fat Burn, and Warm Up. For example Peak is 85-100% of Max heart rate (which varies by person). For me it is 159 to 187 beats per min. I train to spend a certain amount of time in Peak and Cardio. If that is difficult then avg heart rate for the entire workout would be useful as well.

I will proceed with that range as a default but also allow the personalisation of the range and number of zones (as long as they are at least 2) as information available online are not consistent and varies widely.
