iCardio Workout Tracker & Heart Rate Trainer for Android
After latest update, just crashes on startup
It's got landscape. Waited many years. Happy days
I liked the previous version. This one isn't telling me my realtime heart rate or zones
Previous versions used to sync with Google Fit now none of my workouts sync to Google Fit. Really hurts us that are trying to do data consolidation.
I've used this app with Sosche HRMs and am very pleased with results. Even though I've damaged my HRM the manual entry function is a good alternative. I would give a 5 if this app linked to Samsung S Health.
Why does iCardio hate indoor running? I run on a track, and like everyone who runs indoors, I know the length of one lap. So you'd think I could set the length of a lap and then when I told it I completed a lap it would use this information to determine my distance and pace. But nope, it instead insists on trying to use GPS (and being absurdly inaccurate, of course) and generates completely useless numbers. I asked them about this several years ago and they just blew it off and told me to use the GPS. Also, when I run outdoors on roads the GPS works fine. But when I run on trails in the woods, the pace information is horribly inaccurate. It will tell me I am running a 15 min mile when I'm doing 9. And it does this the entire time, while it's still reasonably accurate on the GPS distance. So for example, 9 minutes into a workout it tells me my distance is 1 mile, my time is 9:00 , and for the whole nine minutes it had been telling me that my pace is around 15:00.
Heart rate monitor is only a 5 min trial and you have to purchase to use longer.
Incomparable. This app and a chest strap (wahoo tikr in my case) uses heart rate instead of a timer for training. It's voice feedback lets you know when you cross into one of five heart rate zones, so cardio intervals are not only extremely effective but safe. I also use it for lifting since I like to keep my heart rate up between sets. I don't know why this isn't catching on, but you found one of the only (if not the only) apps that does this. Lucky you! I found it helpful to turn off all but Bluetooth (and GPS if you are not using it) to prevent disconnects. You can also use your phone's Do Not Disturb toggle. The only things I can think of I would like to see is Google calendar integration for auto adding workouts and the ability to program an interval workout... ie(stay one minute in zone 4, then back to zone 2 for 30 seconds, rinse, repeat 10x). That would make it perfect. BTW, notice the down votes are people upset they have to pay for something useful. What a shame.
I used this app for several years and it always worked extremely well. I used it with my scosche hand band, polar smart Bluetooth chest and wahoo chest sensors. I used it indoor, in the gym, and outdoor while biking and hiking. Indoors, the feature I like the most is the heart rate graph that allows me to see very clear if I am too slow, or if I am overdoing it. While biking or hiking it tells you in the headset the heart rate zone changes , speed, and other useful info, so you do not have to look at the screen all the time. Also for hiking, uses the GPS to graph your elevation too. It's pretty complete I would say.
Deceptive. I was looking for a free heart rate monitor to synch with my scoshe and this app seemed to offer this. But it only gave me 5 minutes free then i had to upgrade. I hate deceptive practices. I immediately uninstalled this app.
Wow version 4 takes a great app and makes some really nice visual improvements. The larger numbers on the display while doing a workout is the biggest functional improvement for me. I also like the customizable countdown timer at the beginning of your workout. Good job!
Doesn't recognize my Garmin Ant+ heart rate monitor.
Can't program workout ( at least not in free version)
I like all the data the app makes available. It gets 4 stars instead of 5, because every once in a while it cannot synch to my Wahoo HRM. No matter how many times I try (shut it down, force stop it, etc.), it just won't synch. Usually happens about 15% of the time. Weird...
It looks good, but it's not working with my GPS. I ran a 5K and it said I went 4.5 miles. I went on one of my regular 1.5 walks and it tracked me as going 3.5 miles. I switched back to iCardio 3 and everything is good.
It is not accurate. It goes to about 135 and flatlines from there even though the heart rate is going to 150. Even when I stop it still reads 135. Also in the program it says the upgrade is $6.99 the payment demanded is $9.49.
It would be great if Fitdigits would partner with the Samsung S Health app and Samsung gear activity trackers.
Really love this app! I do a lot of cardio/pilates type workouts and having different tracking options really helps me visualize my progress and set my goals. Everything I need in one app. Thanks!
easiest app to use and has the most features. upgrade is worth it. great web page. ive tried 90% of the hrm apps and devices. this app is the best all around app that i have used.
Seems like a good app, but apparently I need to pay for the pro version to get it to read my heart rate monitor? Speed uninstall.
Was not impressed. It kept saying that my scorsch rhythm armband was connected but it wouldn't show my heart rate when I tried to register my vitals. I guess I have to upgrade to one of the paid versions to do that but I wanted to see what the free version was like first. Uninstalled. Not very intuitive at all.
Great app for heart rate training and activity tracking. Supports custom zones which is pretty important, and even includes Fitness Assessments so it helps you set your zones and track your progress.
Best app to sync all the fitness data into one! Keep up the good work!
