Anyone using Endomondo with HRM?

I did a search and only found one topic and no one seemed to have any real experience with it. Is anyone actively using the Endomondo mobile app along with a Bluetooth HRM belt. I'm thinking about getting a Polar WearLink+ transmitter and replacing the MapMyRide app with Endomondo. Just looking for experiences from anyone that's used it.

    I have the Zephyr BT HxM and have used Endomondo. I loved the app until I found out that Endomondo does not use the heart rate in the calorie burned calculations. I have recently switched to SportsTrackLive which does use the HRM in their calculations.

    I use Endomondo as a tool, to track my speed, adn distance, adn time. I love it! I have never used the belt or HRM. I do find it as a wonderful tool to use, I then transfer the workout used with Endomondo to here. (Blackberry user.)

    Thanks guys, Devil that is very good to know because that's exactly why I wanted the app. I use iMapMyRide right now similar to how igwmab uses Endomondo. I'd like to get more accuracy by having the HRM integration. If it isn't using that informant for calorie burn calculations, i'll look elsewhere (starting with SrtsTrackLive as you've mentioned here).

    Let us know if you find a good blue tooth HRM/app combo.

    I used to use Nike+ and then found Addidas' micoach app. I love micoach, but it can't use heart rate yet with the smartphone app. I say "yet" because their tech support people suggested to me that plenty of people have asked about such a thing and they can't talk about what is in development. If Addidas would add the HRM capability, nothing in the whole world could be better than micoach (not even with a cherry on top) and because they have such a good program for free, I feel like being loyal. But if they don't add the capability soon, I will want to, and may consider going with someone else. So let us know, ok?
