5.0 out of 5 stars
Turns my iPhone into a HEART RATE MONITOR!,
By Mary Anne Curray (La Jolla, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Digifit Connect: Requires $14.99 upgrade to Advanced Functionality or $14.99 paid app. (Misc.)
I was so excited when I heard that Nike+ was adding heart rate with the Polar Wearlink+ Nike+ heart rate monitor. With such a long and impressive name you would think it would work on the iPhone. As it turns out, it only works with the 5th generation iPod nano. BUMMER! So I bought the Digifit Connect accessory and like the Nike+ receiver it plugs in and just works! I also purchased a Garmin ANT+ heart strap (much more range than the Polar ones) and Digifit's iCardio app. I LOVE IT! Now FINALLY I have a really cool heart rate monitor application on my iPhone and I've been waiting for that for years! Thanks to Digifit for making this happen! I hear it works with the iPad too .... I may just go buy one now!

iPhone Digifit Cardio & Mapping App,
By Picky Customer "Picky Picky" (Santa Barbara, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Digifit Connect: Requires $14.99 upgrade to Advanced Functionality or $14.99 paid app. (Misc.)
UPDATE at 1/22/11 - I recently updated to the latest version and the UI has been much improved, The Home screen now has a "Dashboard" which shows calories burned in each workout. It also shows your weight from a Withings scale (which I have been using for a couple months) and your Zeo sleep score (I just got a Zeo for Christmas). So now my Digifit home page shows me all this historical data in a cool chart. If I tap on Dashboard, I can go back through my history with the swipe of a finger! Very nice. And I can link my chart to my Facebook page for just my friends to see, so they can rag on me if my weight starts creeping up (isn't that what friends are for?). -*-*-*- ORIGINAL REVIEW: I wanted to start with the Cardio App, since I have a Garmin heartbelt, but no foot pod. I downloaded it from the iPhone Apps Store. It is $20 for a year subscription. It was easy to pair the heartbelt with iCardio. Then I launched iCardio and walked around the house. It picked up the heartbelt no problem. So later on, I went for a run. I had not set up my workouts, so I just used Quickstart. It logged heart rate, max rate, average rate, time in zones, and calories burned. When I got back, it was ready with a summary of my workout - and ready to send it to a website - except I didn't have a website to send it to. I am hoping Digifit will have its website ready soon. I'm going to get a footpod now and upgrade to iRunner. -*-*-*-June 17 - I have now added a footpod and upgraded to iRunner right inside the Digifit app. So now I am recording both heart rate and pace in real time, something I can't do with my Nike sensors and my iPhone. I run in a hilly area, so it is like doing a structured workout going up and down in zones. The data in real time is so interesting that I am actually running with my iPhone in my hand so I can watch my heart and stride respond to the grade I am running. I did not think I would like having the iPhone in my hand like that, but it is actually quite comfortable. When I am watching real-time, I find myself working a little bit harder. I am trying to get the highest calories per heartbeat, so I am very interested in what happens in each zone. It is also great to be able to look back at workouts I did a month ago and see what my progress has been. Can't wait for the website to be up. -*-*-*- October 18 - Two weeks ago I downloaded the new free Digifit app that does mapping AND the sensors. I went to London for a week. I ran most mornings - a different route each day. I really did't know where I was going, but Digifit gave me a real-time map, including the paths when I was running in the parks - so I always knew where I was and what looked like the most interesting way to go next. And of course I got heart rate, pace and calories in real time too. There are a couple minor bugs which customer service says are fixed in the next update. But this is a fine new version - and the only app I know of that does maps and heart rate together in real-time.

You have to pay $30 a year for the app that goes with this. I found the software to be very buggy and only worked part time. It also ate my battery power faster than GPS! I returned all the stuff to amazon and got a refund, but iTMP doesn't seem to want to refund me for the app. Buyer beware.
