Leave a Review Endless Pools Fit@Home™
Several bugs
The new version experiences additional bugs : metric versus imperial is probably not working. Speed is not as it is usual was. Also, it often disconnect the app with the pool, which did not happened before. It also forgets the programmed training.
So, we had to instal it on an old device that does not accept the latest version. And now, it works great.Show lessMLThorp
Inconsistent
Great when the app connects to the unit. I followed the instructions so many times. The problem keeps occurringp2750
Did the impossible: made it worse
They didn’t listen to any user feedback. No .fit file integration (Strava, TrainingPeaks…), still have to manually add repeats.
Worse, the distance counter resets every time you pause current and app doesn’t override screen sleep settings so either you go into settings to disable sleep or it goes black after a few minutes.
Please just publish an SDK so other developers can take a crack at this.Show lessCapeBiker
Seems the developer never trained in a pool
It’s staggering that after years of neglecting this shoddy app, Endless Pools has heralded a major update that retains all the thoughtless limitations of the original:
- limiting the number of sets in a work out to 20- eg if one is repeating “lengths” with a rest break between them, the maximum # of lengths is 10.
- no ability to program rest periods between sets, without pausing the workout.
- no retention of workout reports
- requiring the user to labor through slide selectors for each metric, and not allowing for a full workout to be typed in for speedy input
- no import/export of workouts
- no workout calendar function
- no support for smart watches
- no countdown to start of workouts
- so many other gaps.
If zero stars were possible, I’d give it. Worse than a rip-off…since these pools come at a premium. Such a wasted opportunity.Show lessaudioeinstein
New version is a step backwards
The old version worked, mostly. Sometimes I would have trouble connecting or getting the workout to load, and occasionally I would have to both reboot the pool and my wi-fi to get it to work. But probably 70% of the time, it worked on the first try. Still not *good* but tolerable. I would have given it maybe 2 1/2 stars.
The new version NEVER works on the first try. I usually have to try to load the workout 4-5 times before it actually starts the current.
Also, the old version prevented the iPad from going to sleep, so if I wanted to see how much time I had left, I could just glance up and check. With the new version, the iPad goes to sleep, so in order to look at the timer, I would have to stop swimming, dry my hands, and unlock the iPad. There may be a setting somewhere to fix this, but if there is, I have not found it.
For as much as we (Endless Pool owners) invest in these machines, I would think they would have decent, functional software. I would also think they would be sure that a new version of an app is actually better than the old version prior to release. Not only is this version worse, but I had to re-enter all my old workouts because they do not transfer. I do appreciate the heads-up from EP so I was able to screenshot them, but it was still a pain, and I have a hard time believing that this was unavoidable.Show lessTikidoc
Latest release unreliable
App worked quite well until the most recent version was made available (maybe 5 stars back then, only 1 or 2 today). App now sometimes quits in the middle of a workout. Sometimes the app stops a workout within seconds of it being launched. One workout showed I was in step -1 of 2. I have a call into Endless Pools tech support.
This app, if it can work reliably, could be a great addition to those of us who swim in an Endless Pool. Maybe data about a workout could be saved for future analysis. Maybe data could be shared with HealthKit. So many possibilities but basic reliability needs to be solid first.Show lessOrange_78
Deeply flawed
This update has several issues. I started a workout, but the app jumped right to the end. Had to end the workout and restart. Font size is too small on iPhone in landscape view. Screen goes dark mid workout. Have to handle phone with wet hands to bring it back. The previous version was better.BobyrUncle
What happened to this app?
This app was working great with my pool. Whatever update just happened just removed my ability to see where I was in an interval and quit the app mid work out. Not only that but the font is smaller. Downdate as far as Im concerned. Thanks a bunch!Sg md
Useless after the update
It was a decent, but very limited app. After the update it’s useless. When you change speed the distance resets to zero.ToHo99
New version stinks
The old version was better. The new version stops early, confuses meters with yards and locks iPod during workouts. Please fix this. Also please add options for endless pool swim spas.ArtieSchw
