Powercal belt with Android App - anyone tried it?

[davetapson]

Would love to get a powercal strap to get my power measurements, however don't feel like adding to my stable of gadgets.

 

Does anyone use a powercal strap or power meter with an Android App? I use Endomondo and I don't think that it has power meter integration?

first off is your phone ANT+ capable?

[davetapson]

Yep, my phone is.

 

Does that make any difference as to whether there is an Android App that integrates with Powercal belt? ;-)

I use a powerCal strap but I'm not sure what the android app would be for? The powercal data seems pretty useful to my coach. I'm not so sure yet hie to interpret it.

Okay, I do it differently. I upload from my Edge afterwards.

 

But what I can tell is that Endo does not seem to reflect any power data. Strava does. There is an android app for Strava.... use it, don't use it.

 

No, I have no idea how the Strava android app works, whether it'll display your values real-time or whatever. But worth the download and check.

 

BTW, in my mind (dodgey area) it's not powercal specific - it reads power values or not. Does not care whether it's powercal, powertap or whatever other device. Therefore very valid question from Jeepdude. Helps little if you have software that can handle power reading but your hardware can't pair with the device supplying the values - and powercal belts are ANT+. But since you've confirmed, no worries.

Yep, my phone is.

i am not sure if endomodo uses power. but if your phone is ant+ great! then you can use apps like Strava and even the cyclops app (there is an apple app.. not sure android)
