Looking For Third Party App

[floydefisher]

I'm looking for a third party app (have an android tablet) that works with the charge hr and does the following.

1.  Provide continuous live heart rate readings onscreen

2.  Allow for custon HR alarms to be set

Any ideas?

I don't think there are any. The list of supported apps can be found at www.fitbit.com/apps

To be able to do what you are looking for would require direct access to the tracker and I would be surprised if fitbit allowed this. Apps normally just link into the account data on the server.

You could always create a feature request for changes to the android app in the dedicated area of the community at: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Requests/idb-p/features

Have a search first though in case someone has already created a similar request, in which case you can just add your vote.

I found some of what I need here:

Seems the fitbit app can already display live hr readings...do you know how to set that up?

I tried doing those instructions....they are too cryptic to understand, and the app isn't exactly uder friendly.

I'm going to give up on this until I have a lot of time to devote to this endeavour....probably with another device that is more user friendly than fitbit appears to be.
