Cardiometer ANT+ Heart Rate for Android
Paid for this hoping for a useful hrm. Doesn't show graph for the whole workout, just the last few seconds. Workout Data not saved - everything lost if connection to hr strap fails, which happens often! Disappointing.
Looks good and has potential but functions are pretty basic. Needs to be able to record heart rate and track progress.
Full version includes heart rate graph, zone graph and maximum heart rate calculations. Also alarm to notify if u hit beyond a certain heart rate. The best app out there if you a Ant+ enabled hrm like the garmin I have. Kindly include option to keep screen awake. Also alarm to notify if we get below a heart rate...
The basic app looks good and works quite well. It finds and pairs with my Garmin hrm easily. The high sampling rate gives a responsive trace. That said, functionality is limited an instantaneous trace or a training zone summary. With no way to record or review hr over the course of an activity, the app is of limited use. That said, the developer seems quite active, and is serious about improving the app, so I say support them and watch it grow into a really useful tool...
Installed on Note 4. The app paired easily with my Garmin heart rate strap. Monitors workout and provides a nice graph to display your heart rate. There is not a log kept so you can't compare or review workouts at a later date.
Free version paired with my heart rate monitor with no problems so decided to purchase paid version. However as soon as it tries to pair it crashes and closes the app down - updated by developer now works perfectly. Good response from developer who quickly sorted the problem out.
The basic app looks good and works quite well. It finds and pairs with my Garmin hrm easily. The high sampling rate gives a responsive trace. However, the homescreen bpm count can't show 3 digits. You can't scroll or rescale the graph so data view is limited to a few-second window with no ability to record or review. There is no time axis (but then, see above). The % breakdown screen simply doesn't work. As it currently stands, there are free apps that do this better.
Been using for about a week. Love the average HR and the graph showing the different zones. Also like audio option. Seems to use lots of battery. Can't use it simultaneously with other apps like runtastic. A few improvements and this could be an amazing app.

Although it worked with my hrt strap there is no way of saving the information
