i think it means you are half way through that particular run

It’s the half way sound... so if you’re doing a there and back again route (rather than a loop) you know when to turn round and head back👍

That's useful. I knew what it was but didn't realise that was the idea behind it!

My half way bell has disappeared. I've just completed week 2 and only heard it the first two runs of week 1. Any ideas how to turn it back on?

I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure it's part of the recording with the speech. The app has a single audio file it plays continuously throughout the run, silences and all! (I peeked inside about a month ago.)

Thanks. Maybe I'll try a different voice then and see if that helps

Who did you have at the moment, and which run was it? I'll check.

Its Sarah Millican. I really like having her voice and initially the bell was there but not for week 2 at all.

Thanks

The half time bell is a separate MP3 file which has to be triggered by the app. It's not in the trainer voice's audio file.

Have you checked for updates to the app recently?

I've just checked and the app is up to date. I'm doing my next run tomorrow so I'll see if I get the bell then.

Thanks for your help
