Polar FT7 with H1 heart rate sensor

I have the FT7 and it works great.

My question is.... I can not get it to work with any apps on the iPhone 5.

I've tried Endomondo, Runtastic, MapMy Run and even the Polar Beat app.




Has this happened to anyone else ?

    I did not read that any where. I never saw that it would not work either. Hard for me to believe that there would be a compatibility issue with Polars own app.

    Polar uses their own system. Currently only ANT+ HR monitors that interface via a plug-in key or Bluetooth HR monitors will work with the IPhone 5 or 4s... Polar has a Bluetooth HR monitor, but it may not be compatible with the FT7. At this time, there are no stride or foot-pod monitors that are compatible without the key, but I saw information that Bluetooth ones are being developed. I also have the Polar FT7 and just manually add the data (ave HR and max HR) into the program (ISmoothRun) that I use.
