Ratings and Reviews
Did not work for me
I’m an athlete and I’m transitioning from GarminSmart watches and needs a message to export my heart rate to either darling cycling computers for concept two rowing machines. Sadly this product does not work for either. For Garmin I see nothing. For Concept2 I can connect the heart rate to the PM5 concept2 thead unit. But then you can’t make a connection from your phone using ErgData to the PM5. So basically zero useful. sad because I thought perhaps naïvely it was going to solve all my problems!
Use it with my Hammerhead Karoo 2 cycle computer
Love this app, use it paired with my HH K2 on the bike as I wasn’t a fan of the chest sensor and my Apple Watch is accurate enough for my requirements.
Only reason I haven’t given 5/5 is because getting it started can be tricky with both the watch and the iPhone telling you to start the app on the other device or giving a loading message. You have to force close both a few times and eventually it works and you can start broadcasting. Starting the app on the phone first and then the watch seems to do it. If you start the watch first then the phone I found it struggled. Normally sorts itself within a few minutes though so very pleased with it.
Works Perfectly to connect Peloton standard bike to Watch
One word - Fantastic!
This app works perfect for connecting the Peloton standard workout bike to the Apple Watch and means I can see the HR on the peloton screen and the HR is recorded to the workout data.
Peloton has brought out a bike + with gym kit which fair enough is a smoother solution but with the help of this app it takes seconds to connect the watch to the bike.
I have used this over 40 times and it has worked flawlessly each and every time.
Thank you to the developer as prior to this the other solution I used was very hit and miss.
Please let me know if you accept donations as I’d like to support you for developing and continuing to work on and improve this app.
