  • Keeps disconnecting

    Works intermittently. Advice is to reset all devices but this isn’t good business moving forward. Still doesn’t connect to iPhone from AWatch.

    It’s an unreliable app…and it’s a big no from me.
  • Free and actually works

    Using it to connect my apple watch to mywhoosh, works fine so far
  • Last update breaks UI

    Don’t update unless you’re using dark mode, the latest update makes this app unusable for non-dark mode users.
  • Kinomap IPad user

    Works great to cast Apple Watch to IPad Kinomap app.
  • Does not work for Apple Watch to Garmin

    Can add Heartcast as a sensor to your Garmin OK but when you start a ride the HR segment of the screen is just blank - no day is being relayed. Sorry but it has just wasted my time and gave me false hope
  • Unreliable - doesn’t always work- best to avoid

    Unreliable
  • Great for some devices but not all

    Works well with my garmin edge 130 but refuses to send heart rate to my edge 530 and instinct 2 Solar but as a free app you can’t complain. I found this app after trying to find a way for my Apple Watch to broadcast heart rate(I know my instinct can but I want to maximise battery life and I don’t use my series 3) as I lost my chest strap heart ease module somewhere.

  • Works for me

    Primarily used for zwift and it works for me - not sure what else to say. Doesn’t seem to want to connect to my Garmin edge 530 but it is very much an ‘apple’ problem with how they design the watches.

    For a completely free app I’m not sure how people can criticise.
  • Awesome app

    Thank you Shawn for putting this app together and making this app free. The app overall works with Hydrow but was a little clunky in getting it to connect but did stay connected during workouts. Only feature I would ask for is the ability to change your broadcast name of your heart rate monitor. It does take a few tries to connect but overall the UI is good. Thanks again for this app it is a lifesaver for something Hydrow should have originally added in their platform.

  • Use it with my Hammerhead Karoo 2 cycle computer

    Love this app, use it paired with my HH K2 on the bike as I wasn’t a fan of the chest sensor and my Apple Watch is accurate enough for my requirements.
    Only reason I haven’t given 5/5 is because getting it started can be tricky with both the watch and the iPhone telling you to start the app on the other device or giving a loading message. You have to force close both a few times and eventually it works and you can start broadcasting. Starting the app on the phone first and then the watch seems to do it. If you start the watch first then the phone I found it struggled. Normally sorts itself within a few minutes though so very pleased with it.
