Which machines does EllioFit work with?
Cross trainers (ellipticals) and exercise bikes that support Bluetooth FTMS — look for “FTMS” in the machine's specs. Treadmills and rowers aren't supported yet.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up: open the app, connect your machine and train.
Is the app free?
Yes, EllioFit is free on Android, with no ads.
Is there an iPhone version?
Not yet. EllioFit comes to Android first; an iPhone version is planned.
Where is my data stored?
Only on your phone. EllioFit has no account and sends nothing to our servers — your workouts, heart rate and settings stay on the device. Deleting the app deletes them too; your phone's own Google backup may keep a copy.
Do I need a heart rate strap?
EllioFit shows heart rate when your machine sends it — from the handlebar sensors or a strap paired with the machine. Connecting a strap directly to the app isn't supported yet.
How does Race mode work?
EllioFit picks your best session from the past seven days on the same kind of machine — the fastest over your distance goal, the furthest within your time goal, or the one with the best average speed — and races you against it as a “ghost”: you see live who's ahead and by how many meters. Keep going once your best session has ended and every extra meter still counts: the screen tells you you've gone beyond your best.
What goals can I set?
A goal by time, distance or calories. Pick a quick preset, enter your own value — or train without a goal. Progress shows live in percent.
Can I use EllioFit without a machine?
Yes. Time a workout with the built-in stopwatch, or add a past workout to your history by hand.
