I've found using the beta Sensors and a Wahoo Tikr HRM (now quite old and mistakenly washed a number of times), it doesn't work as well as it used to with BTLE- it almost never connects. I instead use ANT+ for the HRM and it connects immediately, but not long into a ride or run I get a number of HR Sensor Stopped audio messages and I find later there is a gap in the GPS recording of about 30 seconds. I've found I haven't yet (touch wood) had this problem since I reverted to the non-beta version of Sensors.

I think experience on the non-beta version shows me that some problems with the beta version are relating to whether the app thinks the HRM has stopped or not. When it thinks it has stopped, it also restarts the GPS. However, my HRM doesn't ever stop or loose connection, but it does physically loose connection to my heart. When I start a ride or run the HRM shows reasonable varying data, then as the ride/run gets going, my skin dries and gets cold and the HRM chest strap looses connection to ME. Then, later as I eventually get warm and I get a flush of very light sweat, the HRM gets connected again and ipbike starts shouting out zone changes and max HR at me. This happens every time; it's me not the sensor. However, the beta version takes it too seriously and puts holes in the GPS recording.
