The Stages Power meter is compatible with an ever growing list of fitness apps that support power data recording and analysis. Most of these apps utilize the Stages Power meter's Bluetooth 4.0 connection by pairing with your phone, but additional compatibility is available using the ANT+ connection (using internal ANT+ antennas in your device or an ANT+ adapter). We have compiled a list of some of the current apps on the market that are available to use alongside your Stages Power meter.
For all apps, connectivity may vary from one device to the next and it may be necessary to experiment with placing the phone in a different location to optimize the connection and avoid dropped data between the power meter and your device.
