The ANT+ Demo app allows you to see your heart rate, running speed, and weight data from ANT+ enabled devices like heart rate monitors, weight scales, and foot pods. However, it does not offer extensive features. Its primary purpose is to test the connectivity of your phone or ANT USB stick. If you require an app that can connect to a more diverse range of devices, consider using the ANT+ Plugin Sampler app.
To run the ANT+ Demo, you must have the following apps downloaded and installed: ANT+ Plugins, ANT Radio Service, and ANT hardware support on your phone. The app seamlessly stays connected to the devices in the background and exits only when the sensors are turned off or exited from the menu.
Note that the source code for this app was previously available as part of the ANT SDK but has since been replaced by the ANT+ Plugins Sampler in the ANT+ SDK for developers.
