I wish to log my calories on Fitness Pal and follow my route on my runs on my FireHD 7 but it doesnt say if this VivoFit is compatible with iPhone 4 and Fire HD7, does anyone have either of these devices and does it work?

I'm not sure about the iPhone or fire. But I can tell you I use an iPad and can not for the life of me get it to link with with my fitness pal at all. Really disappointing . Every time I try it crashes.

Can you swim with the heart rate strap and the Vivofit. Most bluetooth devices can not transmit under water. This is the reason I am sending back the Polar Loop and H7 because I can't track my heart rate while swimming.

Hi. I never tried to sync with Andriod. But it works fine on its own. i would say, its not perfect if you want to see absolute calories values. but gives a very precise difference between day to day. So it helped me point out which days are an issue and need to work on.

Hi, I just looked at the box and it says it is compatible to most androids and then it says in another spot to download free apps for all iphones and androids. I'm using it on an ipod touch so I can't say for sure. It works with an app called heartrate by 60beat.

I have an iphone 4, and it the app will not run on that device. You have to have at least a 4s. I just plug mine into my computer and it syncs that way and charges at the same time. Easy. Plus, your activity level is shown on the display, the only thing the app and online shows you is the breakdown.

I have not had the pedometer but I looked into it because prior to buying my play, I only had an iPhone 4 (not a 4S). The play WILL NOT WORK with a 4, so if you don't have at least an iPhone 4S and don't want to upgrade your phone, buy the pedometer. The main differences are with the play and the iPhone app you can invite your friends and see them on your leader board. Who's winning for the day. That kind of thing. Your friends don't even have to have the play. Just the app. My understanding with the pedometer is you can only compete against other people that have the pedometer. Also the play doesn't have the donation piece that the pedometer has. What you could do is try just the app (before buying the play) to see if you like the app interface. I did it that way first. I liked the app but didn't like always having to carry my phone with me to log my steps so that's when I upgraded to the play. The play also track stairs where the app alone did not. Hope this helps even just little.

If the kindle is able to download the Vivofit app then there shouldn't be a problem. Try downloading the app and if it works then get the Vivofit! I love mine! Good luck!

The iPhone syncs to the 60beat scale app. As long as you iPhone has Bluetooth 4.0 . The 60 beat scale app is in the apple App Store I had to first Google the app on line then it directed me to the app in the AppStore . As far as I know 60 beat scale has not yet liked to myfitness pal or anything other than 60 beat. Yo can however link 60 beat heart rate monitor if yo go running. To the 60beat app. But that's all I know.

Hello! since iPhone4 does not support bluetooth smart (BT4.0), so iphone4 does not support. However, you can try iPhone4S or later phones because they are built with Bluetooth Smart Chip. It means iPhone4S does work. I found the following information from the produce description. iOS APP: Free WiTscale body fat app can be downloaded from App Store. Fully Compatible with iOS8.0, iPhone4S, iPhone5, iPhone5C, iPhone6, iPad Air, iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini. Android APP: Free WiTscale body fat app can be downloadable from Google Play. Please use search key WiTscale body fat.Compatible devices: Galaxy S3/S4/S5, Galaxy Note3/Note4, Google Nexus4/Nexus5/Nexus6/Nexus7/Nexus9, HTC one

I do not think it actually syncs with anything. I always just had to key mine into my own logger manually. Just went and read it, and nothing says it syncs with anything. On another Note, i bought the Withings Scale after a year with this one, and it syncs, but it still does not sync with Samsung health either. If i was to make another purchase, i would base the purchase on what works with myfitnesspal, since it just got bought by underarmor, and i doubt samsung health will be relavant much longer unless they really work on their network of supported vendors. (i love samsung, but nothing syncs with them, no scales, no heart rate monitors, the calorie tracker is difficult to use, etc).

It DOES take the Heart Rate Monitor into consideration. The vivofit estimates calories burned from activity in addition to resting calories (aka metabolic calories, aka being alive) calories. WITHOUT a Heart Rate Monitor the activity calories are based on steps (and height/weight/age/gender). WITH a Heart Rate Monitor the activity calories take heart rate into consideration. So at the end of the day you have a pretty accurate estimate of how many calories you've burned. (Well technically you have to wait until midnight because that's when the steps/calorie count resets.) There is a detailed review with more info here: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/03/garmin-vivofit-review.html#how-calorie-tracking-works

If you have the new Kindle Fire HD then you are out of luck on getting the Furby Boom app to work. I have been on the phone with Hasbro and Amazon.com and they have both said it is not compatible. They have mislead many Kindle Fire HD owners.

I have been using my fitness pal...(lost 65 lbs, gained back 30...currently lost 40) for over 2 years and love, but I don't know how to use the Tickr with it...or the wahoo blue that I have been using for over a year. I use the wahoo fitness program for all my exercise/run/walk/calorie burn count. I use my fitness pal to track my diet. They both work great for me!

Sir/Ma'am I found the Zephyr HXM after a search of several different websites trying to find a solution to Garmins excessive HR spikes and drop outs. I have a droid type phone so I never searched for a Iphone solution. I see that Zephyer has a website here: http://www.zephyr-technology.com/forum/#/ This might be a better place to find the answer to your question. I am still very happy with my HR sensor; now if only Garmin would choose to use something as advanced as this sensor with their product line.

This answers seems to contradict the listing and the advertising on the Jarv's box which says "Tracks heart rate, distance, pace, and more!" Also, if you use Runtastic Pro, you can use the the History Add function to download length of time and Calories burned, so will the right app download more?

The BlueHR will connect to iPhone 5 by Bluetooth, so there is no additional hardware you need. However, you will need an app on your phone. There are various free and paid fitness apps available to monitor your HR, calories, and exercise routines.
