Best app to use with external heart rate monitor
I have a garmin watch and external heart rate monitor that don’t play nice together. Are their any apps that will use an external heart rate monitor (not Apple Watch) that will estimate calories burned for an exercise? It would also be great if that app and MFP worked together
