Cardiofrequencemètre issues

App ne voit pas ma ceinture cardio BLÉ 4.0 !…

Response from developer

Bonjour, Merci pour votre avis. Pour que Rowing Workout puisse détecter votre cardiofréquencemètre, celui-ci doit être connecté à votre iPhone ou à votre Apple Watch via les réglages Bluetooth du système iOS/watchOS — et non directement dans l’application. Avec de nombreux rameurs, la transmission de la fréquence cardiaque fonctionne également lorsque le capteur est connecté directement à votre rameur. Pour toute autre question, vous pouvez nous contacter à : develop@gogolith.de Merci beaucoup.

Super App

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der App. Mir fehlt eigentlich nur die Anbindung an weitere Ergometer, da im Moment nur der Concept2 PM5 unterstützt wird. Mir persönlich fehlt z.B. der RP3, aber grundsätzlich wäre das bestimmt ausbaufähig
