Wanted feature: ANT+ support

Fredo_Adam · January 9, 2019, 2:06pm

I thought I was unlucky with the setup Ant+ for Android. I would love to use Zwift but it’s depressing to see all the comments. I am not the only one disappointed. I went back to the store where I bought Tacx Neo and the guy said he never had complaints with Zwift connections. This also means I bought the expensive Tacx Ant+ for nothing…

Yes Please Ant+ would enable me to use my PM and HRM on my portable Omnium warm-up rollers when I travel as carting my Tacx NeoSmart and Plasma plus Alienware Alpha is not an option!

Many Thanks

ANT++++++ please please please

Another user requesting ANT+ support. I would pay the zwift subscription if I could get this to work. And as indicated in a previous post there are free apps such as wahoo fitness that do support this function. This seems like a low-hanging fruit opportunity for zwift to bring in some subscription Revenue.

Another vote for ANT+ connectivity. I have a Note 9, and the only thing keeping me from committing to zwift is that I need to buy a laptop to run it.

I dont understand why this isn’t a top priority…

HR on android please

Marcus_Kesper · February 15, 2019, 6:45pm

same here… just bought ant+ dongle for my android tablet but Garmin HR still not working

Grzesiek_Osuch · February 20, 2019, 6:25pm

+1 for wanting ANT+. Why use so unsporty BT?

I used my Powercal heartrate meter while jogging on Zwift on my Samsung Galaxy S9 and when I got back it said my heart rate was 297 and I think I would have died if it really went that high. I think it’s a bug in zwift for Android. Or maybe my phone could have been picking up interference from someone’s microwave oven or something similar to an ant+ signal.

+1 please

Please add Ant + support on the Android App Beta to make ZWIFT the ultimate smart trainer companion on android devices.

Samsung Tab Galaxy S3
Garmin Fenix 5X Sapphire HR
Garmin Ant+ HR monitor (not working)
Taxc Flow Smart Trainer

Any legal issues keeping ZWIFT from implementing Ant+?

Please fix the ANT+ connection! The Bluetooth connection is so freaking UNSTABLE!

Andrew_Powell · March 14, 2019, 6:24pm

Why is ANT+ not supported? It’s supported on other apps like Rouvy so it shouldn’t be a problem to do it with Zwift. I use PowerTap P1 pedals and the Bluetooth connection only uses power from one side making the mobile app useless for racing and I can’t use it on my TT bike which has an SRM power meter with only ANT+ connectivity. I’d like to not have to always use my desktop or laptop…

This is an issue that should be taken more seriously, please fix it.

+1 for Ant support please. it works with other apps on android.

Jon_Hancock · March 17, 2019, 11:07am

It’s on the roadmap guys.

Phil_Whiffin · March 24, 2019, 6:17pm

Its on the roadmap but when? Seems like a really simple thing to implement.

Will_Mac · March 25, 2019, 6:43am

Another one here wanting ANT+ so I can use it with my Garmin footpod and Android phone (which has native support).

I don’t want to fork out for a Stryd and the Milestone pod is rubbish if your speed varies from whatever it is initially calibrated at. Useless for interval training.

B_Benware_VA · March 30, 2019, 7:06pm

Could not connect to Garmin’s vivoactive HR. To get heart rate data.

Andy_Waton · April 3, 2019, 12:41pm

Come on guys. Surely ANT+ support isn’t that hard to do. Must be a priority.

MayaL · May 7, 2019, 5:44pm

Any news on ANT+ support?
I would love to connect my Garmin footpod to my phone and use it for running. I don’t have a treadmill and bringing my laptop to the gym it’s so not convenient and practical.
