Frequently asked questions

The app interface is in Portuguese for now. In these tutorials, button names appear in Portuguese, followed by the translation in parentheses.

Do I need internet to work out?

Only to download. Once the workout or song is on your phone, it plays offline. On the home screen, the catalog also opens without internet.

Can I turn off the screen?

Yes. The music, claps, voice cues and vibration stay right on time with the screen off and the app in the background.

What happens if I get a phone call?

The music pauses and resumes on its own when the call ends. Short alerts from other apps just lower the volume for a moment.

What if my headphones disconnect?

The music pauses right away, so it doesn’t start playing through the speaker when you don’t want it to.

Can I use the buttons on my headphones?

Yes: pause, resume and skip to the next track. “Previous” at the start of a song goes back to the previous song in the playlist; in the middle of a song, it goes back to the beginning.

Why might the workout BPM be lower on the bike?

On the bike, every beat is one foot pushing down on the pedal. On a climb with resistance, you pedal slower and harder, so the BPM drops right in the toughest stretch. The effort for each block is shown in the workout description.

Does the app have a light theme?

Yes. In Configurações › Aparência (Settings › Appearance), choose Claro (Light), Escuro (Dark) or Do celular (Use phone setting). The workout screen is always dark, so it doesn’t dazzle you.

Can I use the app just to listen to music?

Yes. Skip the initial questions and use the Músicas (Songs) and Playlists tabs as much as you like.

Does OmniBeat replace a professional?

No. If you have a health condition, are pregnant, or have chest pain, unusual shortness of breath, dizziness or palpitations, talk to a doctor before doing intense workouts. During a workout, if you feel any of these symptoms, stop and seek medical care.
