Band Run Zone released!

I like to use my Microsoft Band fitness wearable using running activities, but was missing some functionality. For the Band 1 it is not possible to get vibration notification when exceeding a certain heart rate zone. The Band 2 does have some functionality to notify but is also limited. So I decided to make my own configurable heart rate zone app that communicates with your band, also when the phone is in standby mode!
Just set your heart rate zone and start receiving different vibration notifications to speed up or slow down your run. Band Run Zone has also the possibility to calculate your heart rate zones based on the Karvonen Formula.

Let me know what features you like me to add!
