What bluetooth heart rate monitors work with this timer? I would like to use a chest strap for better accuracy

The Flex Timer app can integrate with any heart rate monitor that supports the bluetooth heart rate profile. This open standard allows any app to integrate with any heart rate monitor without tying you in to a vendor specific application. Unfortunately, some companies do not follow this standard and instead use a proprietary protocol so that only their apps or their approved partner's apps can integrate with their technology. The following cheststrap heart rate monitors will work with the Flex Timer: Wahoo Fitness - Tickr Polar - H7 Coospo - H8 Kurtkinetic - Bluetooth Smart Heartrate Strap The following wristband/armband heart rate monitors will work with the Flex Timer: Mio Global - Link Scosche - Rhythm+

While using the app, does it disable the phone's "sleep" or lock mode? If not does the app still function while phone is locked?

The app is used to program and initiate the external timer. Once you have started the timer, the phone is no longer necessary and can be disconnected, put to sleep or locked. The timer will continue to run even if the phone is locked or sleeps.

Is it android compatible?

Yes. It works with both Android and iOS devices that have Bluetooth Low Energy (which is most modern devices).

does the timer count both up and down?

Yes, it has standard, round, interval, tabata , EMOM, timer and some customizable options.

At first it was great: Very clear, the app had numerous settings and options and perfect for the home gym or even a gym . However, the app has stopped connecting with the timer. I have done all the trouble shooting options multiple times: permissions, blue tooth, location, factory reset, re-installed etc. Even tried 2 different phones - Still will not connect. I really can't be bothered to waste anymore time (no pun intended) on this. The return window expired 16 months ago and they are out of stock. Very poor and would not buy again anyway. One for the scrap heap!

Chi usa questi timer da palestra, sa l'odio nel settarli col telecomando... Questo si setta in un attimo tramite l'app, ha anche dei timer già preimpostati. Se il telefono è collegato alle casse, gestirà anche gli audio del countdown e la musica, volendo si può anche "proiettare" su un monitor esterno tramite mirroring. Il costo è un po' più alto di altri prodotti, ma secondo me li vale tutti

Excellente luminosité et très lisible. Très bien de connecter le tel avec une appli complète bien que parfois pas très ergonomique. Mieux en tout cas que des télécommandes qu’on perd ou avec piles à changer. Prix assez conséquent toutefois même si on sent la qualité.

We love our gym timer. It works great. The app is very easy to set the workout of your choice. I highly recommend this product. I have also engaged GumNext customer service and was pleasantly surprised by how fast they responded to my question. It left a positive impression on me and as a result I decided to write this review.
