Wahoo Fitness Adds Android App, Turns Billions More Smartphones into Cycling Computers

It was about time. Iphone may be the best selling phone model in the US but, there are far more phones running android if you add up all the different models.

It was a pretty bad taste put into the mouths of non-apple user on the part of Wahoo. Let’s see if wahoo can draw some of the Android crowd over or not.

I’ve been using the wahoo HR Blue on the iPhone so several months. It works well for looking at data during the ride (which isn’t a great option for me since I don’t mount my phone to my bars). The problems are after the ride once you “Save” the ride. The screen with all HR data is no longer viewable and when you export the file, it won’t give you access to the data either (like time in each HR zone etc). Also it has never worked when uploading to Garmin Connect, either thru the direct upload to Garmin connect or via export of the file via email then uploading that file to G. Connect. I’ve contacted Wahoo support, which while they’re quick to reply they have not provided any solution, just saying “they’re working on it…”. The whole reason I bought the Wahoo Blue was to look at HR data after the ride. I hope Wahoo corrects these (and several other minor issues I won’t get into here), otherwise I have not use for the strap / wahoo app.
