Support for Kinetic Smart Control is also currently under development.<\/p>\n<h2>Compatible Devices<\/h2>\n<p>Android beta supports the <strong>most popular flagship Android phones and tablets running Android 5 Lollipop and higher<\/strong>. It also supports cycling devices (power meters, smart trainers, speed\/cadence sensors, heart-rate monitors) with Bluetooth Smart, ANT+ and ANT+ FE-C.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Please note:<\/strong> TrainerRoad will not be adding support for the ANT PowerBeam Pro as it uses a proprietary ANT communication protocol that differs from ANT+.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>How TrainerRoad Works with Android<\/h2>\n<p>You can use the Android beta via Bluetooth Smart, ANT+ and ANT+ FE-C. Some Android devices are ANT+ compatible on their own, but you may need to install ANT plugins from the Google Play store before they\u2019re ready to use.<\/p>\n<p>Other devices may require an ANT+ dongle. Fortunately, some of these devices work with existing ANT+ USB dongles from your computer and an additional USB-C or phone-specific USB adapter.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>It&#8217;s important to note:<\/strong> Given the various ways the Android beta communicates via ANT+, some devices may have stronger ANT+ signals than others. If you\u2019re having difficulty using a native ANT+ device, you may need an adapter to train normally. <a href=\"http:\/\/support\">Contact our support team<\/a> if you run into an issue like this.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Get\u00a0the Android Beta!<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.trainerroad.android.production&amp;utm_source=TrainerRoad%20Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog%20Post%2FAndroid%20Beta%20Announcment&amp;utm_campaign=Android%20Release\" target=\"_blank\">Download the beta to start training on your Android device<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with every beta app, the Android beta is not a final product so if you run into an issue, please send us a message at <a href=\"mailto:support@trainerroad.com\">support@trainerroad.com<\/a>.
