Review feedback:
It seemed people complained about the price and some even go further to undercut my hard work. Please allow me to explain. This is no simple task. It's not a simple configuration tool that turns on couple of system switches and copy over some files from other phones as many tried and failed. No sir, if it were that easy, you'd find the solution all over the Internet long time ago. It's about 4 months hard work and many days until 2am in the morning. It's about 10000 lines of JAVA and C++ code to create the driver for ANT+ and patch for Bluetooth stack. As for the price, I'd say you saved money and hassle from buying ANT+ usb adapter. Just consider the guy worked hard and did fix a problem of your phone. In return, you treat him a decent lunch.

It works fine on Nexus 5 up to Android 7. Tested with Endomondo and ANT+ demo. My sensor is a Geonaute ANT+ (Decathlon). Runtastic doesn't seem to be able to detect ANT+ devices by now. Great support!!

Worked great to get ANT+ going on my Nexus 5. I was already rooted running stock but had to switch to TWRP from ClockworkMod. Followed the easy directions and had it paired with my Wahoo Cadence and HRM sensors within a few minutes. Great job by the developer and well work $10.

Got this for my Nexus 6 as I didn't like using an ANT+ USB stick. Installed it on the latest PureNexus ROM (I'm rooted) and connected to my garmin speed/cadence sensor. Great work! Thanks!

Great app, I have been waiting for Android 7.1 support for my Nexus 6p. Worth the wait. As soon as I finished rooting, the app enabled Ant+. Now I can use my heart rate monitor with my phone. Thanks

Just worked (perfectly) ... did exactly what I needed. Worth every penny ... people should stop complaining about the price and focus on what they got

Does not work on my LG g3, though it definitely has the ble chip with ant :/ Even tried two different roms (crdroid lollipop and CM marshmallow) How can I apply for a refund?

by J####:

Works well with my HTC One M9, instead of using TWRP I used a terminal emulator app found in the play store (with "su" command for root access). Thanks for writing this app!

Would it be possible to get this to support I9295 or the S4 Active?

Q70%
by Q####:

The developer is quite responsive and has presented a solution that may work, but may have unwanted side effects with getting future updates. I will update this message when I know, but I can say for sure that root is not enough. The system partition must be writable so a patch can be made for this to work. If your Ant+ accessories are critical to you, then this app is a must.

Purchased this for my Nexus 6P hoping to use my heart rate monitor, cadence and speed sensors on my bike with my phone. I was happy to see that it actually worked! Although, it will not work unless you are rooted with TWRP installed. I had to run the install script in TWRP, then install the ANT+ modules from the play store, and once I did, it worked like a charm.

U70%
by U####:

Took 2 attempts to get it to work, but can confirm it picks up all my bikes ANT+ sensors. Appreciate the dev had to do a lot of work, but I think given a fairly poor user experience (root or TWRP) it's a bit high. Certainly worth the money though. Thank you!

R70%
by R####:

I have tried this on marshmallow (and the past two major versions) with nexus 6 and it simply does not work! I am rooted and followed all steps. Developer does not reply to inquires even after I submitted for help or a refund the first day after downloading. Don't waste your money or believe in a "no questions asked" guarantee. If I don't receive a fix or refund, I am contacting google for this fraud.

Lucid instructions. Had it up and running in less than a couple of hrs, incl rooting & a new ROM. Although there are some pairing issues with Strava and MapMyRide it pairs just fine with IPBike. The Garmin Cadence and Speed sensors were recognized by IPLite right away using the new ANT+ functionality that is not native to the Nexus 6p. Using a micro USB ANT adapter on a Nexus 6P (which has a native USB-Type C) would have made the setup clunky & unreliable. I truly appreciate the work of Z2.

Decided to buy when my HRM decided once again to disconnect bluetooth after only a few minutes. Took less than 5 minutes to get Ant+ working. The icing in the cake is Strava now supports Ant+ and it all works flawlessly. Very impressed with support and updates. Haven't yet had a new Android version that doesn't work (Nexus5 so usually very up to date). Recommended!

Makes my Nexus 5 with CM12.1 use ANT+ properly. Must have for ANT+ sensor freak (like myself)! Works fine with HRM, temp, S&C, stride sensors from Garmin and Geonaute.

Works great again for Android 6.0 and nexus 5. Thanks for the quick response.

L70%
by L####:

Worked quickly and easily on my LG G2 D803, totally seamless. I couldn't make Strava nor Runkeeper link to my Garmin ANT+ HRM (although I didn't try very hard), but had no trouble with Endomondo. The software itself is great. The problems with Strava and Runkeeper aren't the fault of this software, but are potentially a problem for some folks. Update: The new version didn't work on my Canadian G2 D803. I complained using the app's builtin support facility, and Z2 figured out my problem and issued me a fix the same day. Send this guy some money!

J70%
by J####:

So much easier and more elegant than paying for an ant+ otg solution. Easy setup on my rooted N6 running Chroma ROM. Once installed my Wahoo BlueSC was instantly recognized in Endomondo. Please note that there are a number of additional files that you will need to download from the play store in order to utilize ant+, at least they were required by endomondo. You will need Ant Radio Service, ANT USB Service and ANT+ Plugins Service. The app also has you download the dev's Bluetooth+ app. Regardless of the amount of downloads, Ant+ is now working on my N6 with only a few clicks on my part. Excellent work by the dev.
