I am willing to pay for an app, but not a monthly subscription fee. Is there a no-monthly-fee app that will track heart rate and calories?

I use the app called digifit. I paid for all the upgrades...I think it was $8 and I don't know if I even use all those capabilities ! But that keeps track of heart rate and calories burned, I also have myfitnesstracker app and I can connect my calories burned into my daily food diary. It's really awesome all he stuff you can do. I love the Jarv!

For others who have this question, I use Cyclemeter, and have it customized for Mountain Biking activites as well as working out in the gym. It did require a one time upgrade fee of $5, but that unlocked everything that other apps charge annual subscriptions for. I switched to this from the MapMy series and have loved the combo heart rate + exercise/fitness tracking.

Try SportsTracker. The free version does a lot and doesn't bug you with adverts

Take a look at Runkeeper. You have the option for a free account or the paid version -either one allows you to track your heart rate plus it tracks about a dozen different sports.

Endomondo is the app I use for running but has other activities. I am paying for a subscription. $19.99 for one year. It's great. Download the free version. I believe you will still get the HR and Cal. info. without the Premium. Hope this helps.

As mention in my review, I use "MapMyFitness" apps. It contains calories and heart rate monitoring.

If you connect your HealthKit app and fitbit app both to myfitnesspal, it will sync across. :) just tested

The display doesn't tell you anything about your sleep, but it does all of the rest. I would recommend writing out your own nutritional assesment for about 3 days to see the average amount of calories you take in. After that you can set your own "mental" goal of how many calories you would like to burn in a day. The subscription was good for changing your goals because they were also uploaded to your armband and you would get alerts from your display when targets were met. If you can somehow get a free trial membership or even pay for one month to go online and really set your goals and targets, I think it would be beneficial. It is rewarding to get that instant feedback when you meet your calorie goal for the day. But to answer your question, yes you could do without the subscription. Keep in mind that you will have to write your info down at least every two days because although the display holds several days of info, without the subscription you can only view the previous day's info in addition to the present day.

The device is a watch not a phone and it will give you a heart rate by pushing and holding the correct button. It also gives you calories, steps and miles, one at a time by scrolling through the options. It does not connect to another device.

From what I have read and from my own personal use..i use this mainly for cardio of any kind (indoor or out). The wahoo app is great for tracking distance, avg. heart rate, calories and a few other metrics. In regards to using a heart rate monitor while weight training, i believe any heart rate monitor will not give you the metrics you are seeking. There is a lot of research going on with heart rate monitors and weight training, so i would read up on some of the cutting edge studies in medical journals etc.

You just have to buy the fitbit. there are Premium accounts but there is no charge to start tracking.

Long as you have an app on your phone that will work with it to calculate calories burned. Here is the list of apps compatible with it http://www.wahoofitness.com/Apps/Apps/Blue-HR-133-CL.aspxJust find one on there that relates to the activity you want to do.

You do not. But if you get an account (free) at fitbit's website you can keep track of your progress!

This particular Fitbit will not track calories when not moving. It is primarily a pedometer. Fitbit does have other gizmos that can measure you when you are sleeping.

The Fitbit has an app and it is so simple. If you have a somewhat recent smart phone or a computer it will sync all your info. You will love it!

I don't believe it's meant to be used for tracking a whole day's calories, only because you tell it when to start and then you have to hold the button down for it to take your heart rate and update. I stopped using it not long after I bought it. The batteries don't last long, which means it doesn't track correctly at times and loses the info.

No subscription needed. Just set up your account online with a password. As far as tracking activities, it only automatically tracks your steps taken and tells you how many calories you burn. You have to put in which activities you do each day, and it helps you determine calories burned and then you can log them in.

Yes it will track calories. But why would you buy gps tracker just to track cals. See Times hrm.

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!

Not sure about s health app...but you can download a free app from weight guru which allows you to track all of your stats. works like a charm!
