Which heart rate monitors can I use and how?

You can connect a Bluetooth heart rate monitor (HRM) to our app as well as sports watches that broadcast heartrate via the Bluetooth protocol. ANT+ connections are not supported. Below is a list of supported devices:

Wear your HRM according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Press the ‘heart’ icon on the home screen of the app or go to the menu > ‘heart rate monitors’ to start detection of the HRM.

If your HRM is not detected, ensure the following:

• Check if it is turned on and the battery is full
• Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone
• Ensure the HRM is not connected to any other device. Disconnect from other devices or apps and try again.

The app autoconnects to the last used HRM. If you want to select a different HRM, go to our app’s settings > hear rate monitors and select the HRM you wish to use.
