NOTES:
*Known issue: some Android phones might kill or stop "Smart Vibes" when multiusing with other apps or after screen lock. To avoid these potential issues make sure your screen lock is set off, your phone settings allow the app working in the background (or add "Smart Vibes" to your memory clean white list), and let the app running in the background.
**To avoid multitasking and excessive battery consumption use the chronometer occasionally, for example, measuring different running speeds, etc.
***Distance and Calories Burned calculations are only approximate. Exact distance calculations depends on the precision of your smart phone sensors as well as your calibration settings. Exactly how many calories you burn per km or mile depends on your weight, metabolism (age, sex, health and fitness status) and work out intensity (speed).
