FAQ

No, our algorithm reacts exclusively to acceleration.

Sometimes there is a faulty pairing with the Bluetooth headphones. The music then sounds muffled and distorted. Close the app and restart the app.

Yes, our algorithm works with the smartphone's acceleration sensors. Faster walking speeds also make the arm swing faster. This means that if you select faster music, you also have to swing your arm faster to trigger the music.

The walking speed should be set as high as possible. But safety first! You should always feel safe and stable during training. Basically, the stride frequency depends on the length of your legs. The longer the legs, the slower (and larger) the stride. Therefore, the arm swing frequency is also higher if you are shorter.

If you swing with too much force, you may lose your rhythm. This is usually because you walk more slowly when you exert more effort with your arm. Try swinging your arm less vigorously for a while. Your body will automatically adapt to the rhythm of the music again. Then carefully force the arm swing again.

No. However, the movement experience improves if you walk at approximately the same tempo as the music. The music feedback for the arm swing is also designed to roughly match this tempo. If you walk much slower or faster, the music will sound less full. Additionally, the rhythm of the music has a positive effect on your movement if it is roughly linked to the tempo of the music.

Für ein optimales Musik-Feedback soll das Smartphone möglichst unmittelbar am Handrücken oder am Handteller befestigt werden. Die meisten handelsüblichen Taschen sind Oberarmtaschen. Diese lassen sich oft nicht gut am Handgelenk fest machen. Einfach weil der Oberarm deutlich breiter ist. Achten Sie daher bei der Anschaffung darauf, dass die Tasche für das Handgelenk geeignet ist.

For optimum music feedback, the smartphone should be attached as close as possible to the back of the hand or the palm. The higher the smartphone sits on your arm, the less the algorithm reacts to the swing of your arm. Therefore, when purchasing, make sure that the case is suitable for your wrist.

No, unfortunately that is not possible. Our music consists of individual snippets of music for different components (melody, harmony, snare, bass ...). Music must therefore be composed specifically for CuraSwing and fitted into the app.
