HEY.....
Just got the polar H7 heart rate monitor. What apps do you use and which is the most accurate?
I used Endomondo and Runtastic and got 2 different calories burned. Runtastic was almost double and was closest to my elliptical. What are your thoughts?

    I use the polar app (just to record the calorie burn) and then enter it into MFP for non-running activities, and I use iSmoothRun or (occasionally) Runtastic when running. They all seem pretty comparable as far as reported calories burned compared to my expectations.

    I've been using iCardio (aka Digifit). It syncs with MFP. The app is free, though on iphone you need to buy the Bluetooth plugin (£1.39) to sync with the polar H7.

    I use sportstracker. I had a lot of issues connecting consistently to the Polar app. I used Endomondo and liked it also, but it didn't do as much as sportstracker for free.

    I just got the same one. Try iCardio - Digifit, you'll pay the $4 to upgrade it to support HRM. I like the data I get. I like to see my heart rate in the different zones and calories burned etc. Also, it syncs with MyFitnessPal and will automatically send your workout to your exercise diary! WIN WIN!
