ANT Forum

Hi,

Last week I received my Adidas heart rate monitor. I choose this heart rate monitor because it is based on the ANT+ technology and the Adidas connect device is small enough to fit in my iPhone bike mount.

Unfortunately the supporting Adidas app (miCoach) is not usable as a bike computer and here is where I experienced that the ANT+ technology is not as interoperable as I expected. I can not seem find a cycling iPhone app that supports the Adidas connect device.

Is there a catalog or listing of all compatible software/apps per device?

Thanks      

Our understanding is that the Adidas dongle only works with the Adidas app, but you can contact Adidas directly to confirm.

You may also want to have a look at Wahoo Fitness, which will show a list of apps that are compatible with the Adidas heart rate monitor.

Thanks a lot for the link! That is a nice app overview where I will have a look on all options and give them a try.

Considering the Adidas hardware I am getting to term with my disappointment :( and exploring the purchase of a different iPhone adapter.

Currently I am looking into a the Garmin ANT+ adapter although I can't find any confirmation if this will work with the Adidas heart rate monitor as it is not in this list:

Any advice on this?      

It would be best to confirm with Garmin, but as I understand, the Garmin dongle is not available for use with other apps. As far as we are aware, the Wahoo dongle is the only one that is open for use with a variety of apps.
