## What is Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor++?

Your heart rate. On the equipment you already love.

Turn your Apple Watch or heart-rate-sensing AirPods into a Bluetooth heart rate monitor. With ECHO, you can send your heart rate to compatible fitness equipment and apps, follow your zones, and train with more confidence. 

CONNECT YOUR HEART RATE TO YOUR WORKOUT
See your heart rate where you train. ECHO broadcasts through your iPhone to equipment and apps that support standard Bluetooth heart rate monitors.
Use it with compatible products from Peloton®, Zwift®, iFit®, Echelon®, NordicTrack®, Wahoo®, Schwinn®, Precor®, Life Fitness®, and more, including the Rogue Echo Bike V3.

FIND YOUR ZONE. MAKE EVERY WORKOUT COUNT.
Know when to push and when to ease off with live heart rate zones on your Apple Watch and iPhone. You can use zone tracking even without connecting to equipment that doesn't natively support zone training. 

Choose familiar zone models inspired by popular fitness platforms, or create custom zones that match how you train. Custom zones are included at no extra cost.

TRY IT FREE
Start with free workouts up to 20 minutes. Connect to your equipment, explore your zones, and see how ECHO fits your routine before upgrading.

KEEP YOUR WORKOUTS CONNECTED TO APPLE HEALTH
ECHO works with Apple Health to read your heart rate. Choose whether to save your workouts to Apple Health or let your connected fitness app or gear handle the saving. 

YOUR HEART RATE DATA STAYS YOURS
ECHO doesn't share, or sell your heart rate data. Workout data stays on your devices, and you stay in control of whether your workouts are saved to Apple Health.

LESS GEAR. MORE GO.
You already have a heart rate sensor. Put it to work with ECHO.

BEFORE YOU START
You need an iPhone and a compatible Apple Watch, AirPods, or heart rate monitor. Heart rate sensing is not available on every AirPods model.
Your equipment or fitness app must support standard Bluetooth heart rate monitors. ECHO is not compatible with Garmin bike computers or Rogue Echo Bike V2.

ECHO is independently developed by PK Fitness Apps and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the brands listed above. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

### 1/5 — Still checking status on my refund request

*2026-09-04, version 6.0.8*

Paid 20 dollars for a one time premium access fee and now being asked to pay again or only use 20 mins a day. Please refund me my $20

### 1/5 — Not working properly

*2026-08-27, version 6.0.8*

I have a problem to sync app with my NordicTrack treadmill. The reported number on the treadmill is not consistent with this app.

### 1/5 — Already paid for pro 2 years ago and now trying to charge me again for features I already paid for

*2026-08-24, version 6.0.8*

Already paid for pro 2 years ago and now trying to charge me again for features I already paid for

### 1/5 — Teures Abo

*2026-06-17*

Man kann die App nur 20 Minuten ohne Abo für Workouts nutzen. Damit quasi nutzlos und das Abo ist zu teuer. Dann Kauf ich mit lieber einen anderen Pulssensor als endlos für ein Abo zu zahlen.

### 1/5 — Stopped working w Zwift

*2026-05-09, version 6.0.6*

Not sure why after 6 months of flawless use

### 1/5 — HR not updating

*2026-04-23, version 6.0.6*

Recently I noticed that on my Apple Watch Ultra 2 the heart rate stays constant. It did not change I bps the entire 45 minutes. I assume this is a bug???

### 1/5 — Unable to restore purchased

*2026-04-10, version 6.0.3*

Will not restore my purchased upgrade with new phone

### 1/5 — Does not work as promised

*2026-04-07, version 6.0.3*

I needed a way to connect my Apple Watch with my Nordic Track treadmill and iFIT app. Does not work 98% of the time. Customer service does not respond and Apple will not refund!

Update: A YEAR later the developer responded. Still no refund and no connection.

### 5/5 — After recent update (Apr. 2026)

*2026-04-07, version 6.0.3*

I have to set the app up every time I launch a new workout. This is a real pain. And also every time I launch the app, I have to click through a message that tells me in-app purchases are not permitted. Also a pain.

April 8th update. Big has been fixed, app is now working as desired. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Bugs appear to be fixed

*2026-04-07, version 6.0.3*

Back to loving the app after the bugs were fixed from the 6.0 release.

## Frequently asked questions about Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor++

### What does the Echo app do?

Echo transforms your Apple Watch into a Bluetooth heart rate monitor. It allows you to broadcast your heart rate data to compatible gym equipment and a wide range of fitness applications, such as Zwift, Peloton, and iFIT. This eliminates the need for a separate chest strap.

### How do I use my Apple Watch as a heart rate monitor with this app?

Once you have the app installed, you can start a workout on your Apple Watch. The app will then broadcast your heart rate via Bluetooth, allowing gym equipment or fitness apps running on another device to connect and display your real-time heart rate.

### Is this app free to use?

The app offers a free trial period with 20-minute workouts. To unlock unlimited heart rate broadcasting and full functionality, you will need to upgrade to a paid version. Specific pricing details can be found within the app.

Echo is compatible with various gym equipment including treadmills, indoor bikes, rowing machines, and ellipticals.
