Vision is there.

Unfortunately does not work with Magene 606v2 or 506se for now but the vision is there

Does not work on Edge 840

Spent the entire free trial week to make it work and never connected. I'd like a refund.

Worked a couple time

It worked a couple times then it is no longer showing heart rate. Bluetooth connects fine, but no heart rate show up on my watch and phone. I checked Apple Watch heart rate app, it’s fine. Not sure where else to check

With Garmin 1050 only allows HRM or phone connection

Unfortunately with my new Garmin 1050 I can only get the HRM or Phone connection (notifications, live tracking, weather, etc). Not both 👎

Great workaround, couldn’t get it working.

Tried to get this working with Garmin edge. The garmin connected without much headache, but I could never get HR to actually push to the computer.

My watch would show my heart rate, and record a workout, but the phone app never seemed to get into a state that would grab it and push it to the computer.

Thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately, not all Garmin Edge models are compatible and most require a specific procedure to follow. Please check this: https://dominikmaglia.com/hrm-app-user-guide/#device-compatibility Best regards, Dominik

DOES NOT WORK WITH BOLT 1

I followed all the steps, connected the sensor to my Wahoo Bolt 1. Started the HRM, started a workout on my wahoo and it didn’t work.

Works with Wahoo Bolt with some work

I have the app working with my Bolt. I really like it now. My tips:
1) Leave a few minutes before riding to get it running.
2) Make sure the Elemnt or Wahoo app is not running. Also make sure Background App Refresh is turned off for those apps.
3) Start HRM apps on both phone and watch. Make sure you see HR on both devices.
4) Be sure to Start the app on the watch.
5) If you have already added the HRM sensor, _delete_ it. I have to add the sensor back on every ride or it never connects.
6) Answer No when it asks whether to remove HR from your computer pages.
7) Add the sensor back.
8) Wait for several seconds for the HRM sensor to connect. The sensor should show the HR on the settings screen. If it just says Connected, it won't work. It will show N/A for BPM on a workout page. Make sure the watch app is Started, not just running.
9) Check an activity page to confirm you see HR.
10) If no HR, reboot the phone and begin again.

Hi LaFong, Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! I‘ll try to get your tips into the official guide to make it easier for all Wahoo users :) Best, Dominik

Unreliable and Unusable with TrainerRoad

Great idea in theory. Attempted use with TrainerRoad. Aside from needing three devices (Apple Watch, phone, and another device to run the TrainerRoad app), the Bluetooth disconnects constantly. Multiple attempts with the same result. Other than having to wear one, a chest strap is better in every way.

Disappointed

A great idea I couldn’t get to work; I’ve a Roam v3 so thought it worth a try but sadly the watch app wouldn’t even register a heartbeat on my Apple Watch. And yes it does in apples native app.

Do not recommend if you have Apple Watch

If you have an Apple Watch and you don’t want to spend money I don’t recommend

Frustrating

Not worth it. 1/4 rides collected data. I’ve done all the things before my rides to ensure connection but today the app disconnected 2 minutes into my ride (Wahoo Element V2). Didnt notice until an hour later. But even then, If i had noticed i would have had to stop my ride and take 5 minutes to delete the HRM from my unit, turn off Bluetooth, turn back on Bluetooth, close and re open app, stop and start watch app, reconnect to Element, and hope that its actually broadcasting my heart rate or do this again 3 more times until it does *sigh*

Does not work on Garmin Edge explore 2

Finds it, comes up on Garmin but fails to connect, even though Garmin express is not running. Disappointing. It would be great if this could be fixed. Or if Garmin just decided not to be so protectionist ( now all Garmin users are going to buy Wahoo next time)

Garmin

Off and on connecting to Garmin 540. Not sure what the key is. But when it works it’s great

Total garbage

Don’t waste your money, doesn’t work.

Connection issues

I really wanted to love this app. Unfortunately it would disconnect constantly, then wouldn’t connect again to my wahoo. I’d have to delete it and reinstall and it would work for a short time again. I need things to work, and this does not. Too bad.

Only occasionally works

Works about 2 out of 10 times I use it. Have to constantly forget and re-pair the app to my wahoo, sometimes it fixes the problem but most times it doesn’t. Wahoo shows the app is connected but there’s no data feeding into it despite my heart rate displaying on my watch and phone.

Couldn’t connect it.

What a shame I was hoping this was going to solve the problem of Apple Watch to Wahoo Roam but it just would y connect even though I followed all the instructions and the trouble shooting.

Does half of what I need it to do

You can cast heart rate to your Garmin device, but you cannot concurrently pair your phone to your garmin device (which means no modifications via garmin connect, no alerts). If HR2VP does this, it’s a better app.
