On Bike Computer

On Bike Computer is an app that transforms your Android device into a bike computer display using your cycling ANT wireless data sensors. This app, designed by riders, can be used to analyze your effort, in real time, while riding your bicycle. Thus, instead of using a standard/typical and expensive bike computer, you can use your every day Android device as a on board bike computer with an intuitive and visible display.
To use this app, you only need to pair your sensors once and the communication will be established any time you start the app nearby the ANT sensors. You can also save and load different bike profiles (unlimited number of bikes) with its own paired sensors, thus avoiding loosing time on pairing every time you commute bikes.
