LOVE IT after a little trial & error
Received the Polar H7 today. I have a Motorola Droid RAZR, running Ice Cream Sandwich. I wanted to use this device with Noom Cardiotrainer app, but it would not recognize the Polar H7, even after pairing the device with my phone in the Bluetooth settings. Thought I was doing something wrong, so I followed the instructions to a T -- I wet the section of the strap where the electrodes were located, I applied Buh-Bump electrode conductive cream to the strap... nothing.
I searched for some time around the Internet and found other users having the same problem. Tried a few different apps - Endomondo, HRNavi, etc. Nothing worked. I tried searching the forums on Polar's website (which I have other issues with, by the way) and found nothing. A bunch of other users with the exact-same problem.
So, I searched Google Play until I found an app that finally worked - MapMyRun. Its heart rate monitor settings picked up the H7 the first time with no issues. Then, I...

Works great with iPhone 4s - no dongle needed!
Once I managed to hack my way into the package (I hate those plastic packages that everything comes in now) I had it synced up and working with Strava on a iPhone 4s in just a few seconds. Also worked fine with Endomondo app. Used it while cycling with iPhone in back jersey pocket - not problem staying connected and supplying the app with heart rate info during the ride. The battery life of the iPhone wasnt impacted - I get about 4hrs while using a GPS tracking app.
I've got about 150 miles in with this strap - no issues with connectivity, battery life or comfort. The strap connector is a small metal hook that fastens into an elastic loop. I haven't had any issue with it, but in general its not as nice as some other straps that I have used that had a more robust belt-like plastic buckle.
The native support, no dongle or anything else to plug into the phone, makes this really nice.
UPDATE: Bluetooth connection remains after you are done with your...
Works great with endomondo app and iphone 4s
I bought this to use with my endomondo app on my iPhone 4s and it works perfectly! It was very easy to pair too. Just make sure the bluetooth is turned on for the iphone. Then open endomondo, go to settings, and click on heart rate. From that point it will instruct you to pair your Polar H7. Just follow the steps and you should be paired in several seconds. That's it. Your done! The instructions are worthless. The only thing that I got from it was to make sure you rinse your belt and device after every use. The sweat can cause premature damage and wear. I probably would have given it a 5 star, but the instructions were useless and it made me waste 5 minutes reading it before I realized it didn't tell you exactly how to pair it to your phone.
