FAQ
Is the ZRX app completely free to use?

Can I use this app on a treadmill?

Do I need a constant internet connection to play?

Can I listen to my own music while playing?
Yes, ZRX allows you to integrate your favorite tracks from Spotify, Apple Music, or your local files. The story segments will play between your songs, making it feel like a live radio broadcast during the apocalypse.
