That’s great!  
But when will there be a module running in background mode.  
Even the timer is not active in background mode!

hi @Balanced_Kitchen, glad you’re enthusiastic about the new AdMob component.

I know it’s off-topic, but just wondering what you need background processes for?

Aha, ok. The closest thing we have to a product roadmap is here in the [release notes](https://docs.thunkable.com/release-notes). These are the components we’ll be adding in the next few months but hopefully after that more sensors will be added.

I’ve done a pedometer with the current modules, but it only works when the application is active. I would like to be able to do it even when the screen is locked. This is impossible at the moment.
