Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
At user request, added support for Quarq power meter and Intervals.ICU, as well as the ability to download a CSV of the workout upon completion. We admit we're getting *slightly* away from the pure "bare bones" philosophy, but we're holding to the core principles: not adding any complexity that would warrant making this a subscription service.

About
Two big numbers on your screen: power and heart rate. A small graph underneath showing the last few minutes. That's the whole app. No account. No dashboard. No feed. No badges. No "kudos," no social connections. It reads your Bluetooth sensors and shows you the numbers — that's it. Why this exists A lot of power meters used to come with a simple free app. Then the company got bought, the app got folded into a platform, and suddenly showing you the output of hardware you already own requires an account, your data, and a subscription. This app is a refusal of that. It does one thing, and it'll keep doing that one thing whether or not anyone ever buys another copy. What it costs $9.99. Once. Not a subscription — no auto-renewal, no premium tier, no ads nudging you to upgrade. You pay once and you own it. If it doesn't work for your device This should work for standard power meter formatted data (aka "Cycling Power Measurement") or smart trainer devices (aka "Fitness Machine Service"). If it doesn't work for your device, ask Apple for a refund. It's set to auto-approve. The goal was never to maximize revenue. It was to solve one specific problem. If it doesn't solve yours, no hard feelings. Sorry you downloaded an app that doesn't solve your problem, but there's nothing lost. Compatible with standard Bluetooth power meter and heart rate sensors.
