Any idea whether this app will work with stationary bikes with or without
any sort of bluetooth attachment if need be? That or if there’s in fact an
app out there that works with a 

stationary set up and is more or less accessible

 

Thanks,

+1 On Cyclometer.

I have been using it for a couple of years. Its a really great app.
I like that I can set voice announcements to alert me of my average speed,
top speed , distance, ETC or what ever I want, when ever I want.
Very flexible.

You can also buy  blue tooth heart monitors and cadence sensors.

BTW....Each app has all the modes built into it. I.E. my Cyclometer also has
walking, running , skiing, mountain biking, ETC.  You only need one app.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you all know there is now a group of
fitness training apps which have now been made accessible.  These are
cyclometer, runmeter, walkmeter and 5k runmeter made by Advio.  These apps
are really fantastic and were the best I had found for accessibility after
trying 12 of them, I still have a folder of non-accessible fitness apps I
had to try to find these.  Anyway, when I e-mailed the dev he could not have
been more helpful and responsive.  He was at WWDC at the time but still
managed to respond quickly and advised he would take a look which he did
when he returned.  He made multiple changes to the apps to make them far far
more accessible and even posted a new accessibility page to his website.
The apps use GPS as well as accelerometer heartrate, caidence and speed
sensors to provide feedback on your performance when cycling running and
walking where applicable.  These stats are then relayed to you through
headphones at time or distance intervals or when requested by a slow double
press on the remote.  The apps even post to facebook, twitter and dailymile
so your friends can see how you are doing while you are out walking running
or cycling.  If they post a message to you it is read allowed by TTS into
your headphones for encouragement etc.  truly fantastic apps.  There is
history data too so you can compare against previous performance and even
set your old performances as competitors which the app automatically tells
you if you are better or worse at set intervals throughout your workout.
The apps are provide so much info and analysis its unreal.  They are
inexpensive too at £2.99 and the cycling app  even has profiles for walking
and running so you only really need buy one app.  The quality of these apps
mixed with the devs respnsiveness to accessibility have truly blown me away.
I use the app on the back of my tandem with a pair of aftershokz and my
phone in a camelback water backpack so all completely non intrusive and get
constant updates on how we are doing, how we are doing compaired to last
time as well as facebook and twitter messages read allowed automatically.
All without touching my phone.  Incredible. 
Check it out. 

Regards 
Andy
