They make their money on the hardware, not the apps. They don’t really care to sell their app (it’s free), but instead look at it like a bit of a showcase for other to follow. Now Wahoo’s game in town is pretty much supplying the hardware and the development API’s (interfaces) to allow everyone else to create cool apps. Once you’ve got those things you’ll grab the basic Wahoo Fitness app. OverviewĪ) A Garmin Forerunner 310XT (more on other devices later in the post)Ĭ) Wahoo Fitness Fisica Dongle or Wahoo Bike Case Well, I’m happy to report it’s now here! The guys at Wahoo Fitness recently gave me access to some pre-release builds showing off the feature, and I figured I’d give y’all a walk through of how it works. This has been asked for by quite a few people – including myself, and it’s quite possible I may have been secretly pushing a variety of folks to do the development work to add it to their apps. However, one area that hasn’t been touched to date was the ability to connect to ANT+ enabled watches such as the FR310XT and download your workout directly from the watch, straight to the web. Everything from the big dogs (Runkeeper and MapMyRide/MapyMyRun), to the smaller boutique apps (Joggy Coach and iSmoothRun) – all allowing you to do as you please with ANT+ connected devices – including live data ANT+ data transmission to web sites. There’s an incredible array of really cool apps. Fast forward many months later and there are now more than 60 apps out there that take advantage of it and its ANT+ capabilities. When I first wrote about it nearly a year ago, it was just prior to coming on the market – so the app selection was a bit slim. This handy dandy little white pod the size of a quarter plugs into the bottom of your iPhone/iPod and allows connections to ANT+ devices such as heart rate straps, power meters, speed/cadence sensors and more. You may remember quite a while back I showed off the Wahoo Fitness iPhone dongle.
