ANT+ Heart Rate Grapher

ANT+

About this app

The ANT+ Heart Rate Grapher displays heart rate data from ANT+ heart rate monitors in a simple graph. The data collection will also run in the background, so you can freely use other apps while still collecting data.


We developed this app for doing demonstrations of ANT functionality on Android. Since there currently aren't many apps with this functionality, we decided to release it on the Play Store to anybody who might find it useful. So, if you are reading this, we hope you find it useful!


Disclaimer: This app is intended for demonstration/recreational purposes only and not for medical use.


Officially supported heart rate devices are listed in our directory: http://www.thisisant.com/directory/filter/~/62/~/


Requires:
ANT+ Plugins (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.plugins.antplus)
ANT Radio Service (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.service.socket)
ANT hardware support on your phone (see the description of the ANT Radio Service page for more info)


Known Limitations:
-Once recording is stopped, the graph will be cleared the next time the screen changes
-Since the entire recording is shown on the screen at once, recording long periods of time will make it difficult to read the graph, may be slow, and really long sessions may crash the app.




Attention Developers! Using the ANT+ plugins in your app to communicate with ANT+ devices is quick, easy, and free and uses a simplified API that doesn't require referencing technical documents or learning new protocols. Visit the ANT Android Developer page http://www.thisisant.com/developer/ant/ant-in-android/ for more info and to download the SDK containing the source code for this open source application.

Ratings and reviews

Instant crash the moment one opens it; everytime. Upon uninstall and re-install, a dialogue box opens telling us that the app was "...designed for an older version of android. Please upgrade the app or contact the developer." I'm on a Galaxy s9 plus android 10. Consider this a "contact." I hope you decide to fix the app, but doubt it as it hasn't seen an update in a good handful of years.

Great real time tracker but could be further enhanced by allowing to record, save and export. Also the font used for axis labelling is much too small. - Now uninstalling (April 2019) since I have found a better app that has many more features: a grapher, timers, heart rate bands and stores training sessions.

I love this app. I use it while I ride my spinning bike to help me monitor my heart rate zones. It helps keep me on track with my fitness goals by making sure I don't slack! The only thing that I would change is to be able to move where the heart rate displays to the bottom of the screen so the graph doesn't get in the way and cover over the numbers.
