What's a good iPhone running app with a heart rate monitor?

I'm looking for a combination of an app like RunKeeper that tracks my running speed, with an app (+hardware?) to track my heart rate.

I'm currently running with RunKeeper (to track my speed) and also wearing an chestband+wristwatch (to track my heart rate). It would be nice to get rid of the wristwatch, if there's some app (and chestband receiver hardware?) to combine the data.

I've seen some apps that only do heart rate monitoring, but I don't want to switch between 2 apps while running.

Solution 1:

Runtastic has a solution for heart-rate sensor bands communicating with the Runtastic apps (which are similar to RunKeeper) via a sensor key which is attached to the iPhone: http://runtastic.com/en/sensors

The dongle is as expensive as for the Digifit, but the app is a lot more affordable.

Solution 2:

There is Digifit which is software that works with any ANT+ enabled devices by brand names such as Adidas, Garmin, StarTrac and Timex.

Solution 3:

Wahoo Fitness

You might like to check out Wahoo Fitness - it's also an Ant+ dongle like Digifit, but unlike Digifit it works with a whole different ecosystem of apps (not just the default Digifit one) - defintely the widest range of all the apps you've listed here, and including Runkeeper as well so you don't need to change which running app you use.

heart reate monitor

can use this with lots of different apps

Good luck, and happy running.

Solution 4:

My friend, there is no need stop using Runkeeper! Runkeeper is fully compatible with great chest heart rate monitor - Beets BLU HRM! I use it with Runkeeper every day and I'm really satisfied.

There are also detailed setup insructions for Runkeeper on their website: http://beetsblu.com/apps/app-store/runkeeper/
