Then get orthotics that help fill the additional space at the places where there's too much, then you have the best of both worlds

comment when to use vibrating platforms
I personally don't think it would be helpful that way, I believe it would be intended to perform workouts while on it. Its effect on recovery are probably neglible, but if it makes you feel good, don't let me stop you

comment How to prepare yourself before starting to run regularly?
The Runners World program or something like Couch25k are definitely a great way to start. Also have a look at this question (fitness.stackexchange.com/a/70/8), which gives some tips for how to run if you're not in great shape

comment Is it possible to measure calorie burn from heart rate alone?
I think picking the type of exercise is mainly a variable that determines how calories scale with your heart rate. Certain exercises involve more muscles, with different ranges of motions and movement frequencies and thus work your muscles differently. So as soon as you tell the app you're doing a type of exercise, it'll have to assume that's what you're doing. I can't reliably determine whether you're actually doing it. So yes, they use your heart rate, but in a pretty naive way
