Android Wahoo Ticker App recommendation?
I'm looking for the ability to do HR zone training with an audible alert when I go out of desired HR zone. The Play Store has numerous apps that track workouts but it's not clear if they have the zone alerts. I had a Polar setup that supported this that died recently and I don't want to coin for a bike computer and 2nd HR strap, seems like there has to be this feature in one of the apps.

If I'm recalling correctly the Cyclemeter app has that feature. I haven't used it for a couple of years and didn't have a heart rate monitor at the time. It's available for iPhone and Android now, but was iPhone only when I had a subscription. I'm not sure whether the free trial version includes the user customizable features. It's about $10 a year.
I've set my inexpensive XOSS G+ cycling computer to sound an alarm when I exceed 160 bpm. My max HR was 173 when I checked last year, probably a little lower now. When I hear the 160+ bpm alarm I know to adjust my effort, depending on whether I'm doing intervals or sprinting up a climb to safety merge with traffic. There are a couple of areas along my routes where it would be risky to redline and suddenly gas out, so the alarm helps me maintain a sustainable effort.

Thanks for recommendation for app and mention of computer. I tried my Tickr with the Polar computer but it wasn't compatible.

I'm currently paying for cyclemeter. I'll try to find some time soon to see if that is available.

It looks like there is something in CycleMeter. it depends on the type of activity. apparently you can select a target to notify you of. but it looks like it is only one target, either distance, cadence, heart rate, or...i forget. also, it looks like you can select a minimum target and maximum target. have not done this and don't really have any inclination to try but maybe it will work for you.
if you are really interested i would contact the developers. they are very good about responding to questions, usually in 1 or 2 days.
