Which isn't free. Unless of course you turn up to work and don't expect to get paid?
> Development time hasn't stopped hundreds of thousands of free apps being created that do far more complex activities than a heart rate alarm to generate passive revenue through advertisement so I don't get your point.
Do you want adverts on your free HR alarm app?

This is the real question - not a great show from Polar IMO.

Just going to ignore this unnecessary addition.

I'm happy with the adverts thanks (which I sometimes use to make purchases), and pay for Rockfax Digital when I need it and have plenty of Rockfax guides.
