  • Great potential but Strava elapsed time way off

    Strava elapsed workout time for a pool swim (possibly more activities) seems to be double what was actually done.

    Thanks for the review! Please reach out to me at viktor@hesselbom.net and I would love to take a look and see if we can find the issue.
  • Just what I needed coming from Garmin

    I never leave reviews but Garmin users who use TrainingPeaks need to know this app is excellent for syncing structured workouts to their watch.

    I originally bought the AWU just to try out with full expectations I would return it. One of the blockers was TrainingPeaks plan sync. I had some issues with the plan I use and the developer of this app went way above and beyond to provide a new release to fix my issue.

    Not only will it sync my planned workouts but also syncs my zones setup in TrainingPeaks. I’ve also found this app is easier to read on my watch than others I have tried. Especially in the dark.
  • Gah. Great idea with a heartbreaking bug.

    Great little app, nicely priced to fill in the huge hole in app workouts not allowing imports. I used it this morning for some speed work and loved not having to look at my watch for the intervals. Unfortunately, it looks like the app didn’t pick up my location permission when I initially set it up (granted “While using app”). Which was fine for me during the run - Distance appears as “Distance Off” - I’m doing time intervals, so don’t care. But when I end my work out, the hour long workout was cancelled by the app because “it was too short”. 😭I would have expected it to save an export without map data. Another minor issue which would be nice to fix is that the exact heart rate doesn’t show on the screen (just where you are in your desired heart rate range).

    Fixed in 2.3.0! Hi, the issue with not storing workout if too short should be fixed in 2.3.0 (now only checks that duration is more than 10 seconds) Regarding the issue that you're not getting any distance, you might need to allow "Walking + Running Distance" permission under Settings > Health > Apps > Watchletic. I apologize for the inconvenience with the bug and thank you for bringing it to my attention. Regarding heart rate, please email me at viktor@hesselbom.net and tell me more!
  • Fantastic complement to your workouts

    I use it for running with power on my AppleWatch Ultra. I import training plans from Training Peaks and run the on their scheduled days. It also works with FinalSurge and more!
  • Great App!

    Just used this app to move structured workouts from TrainingPeaks to my Apple Ultra Watch. Everything works great!!!

    One potential upgrade would be to have pace and/or heart rate alerts. For example, if a particular interval calls for a HR or Pace range, the app will notify you through a beep, vibration, etc. that you are not within the range. Just an idea.

    Overall, very happy with the app.

    This feature with alerts now exists! Happy you enjoy the app.
  • Just what I wanted

    Simple and intuitive to setup and gives me exactly what I need for my structured runs. Excellent!

    No more, no less, so glad you found value in the app! 🙌
  • My favorite running app

    I use this app when running and it’s great. I can easily set a variable distance when I want to start my workout. I create a few workouts (each with a variable distance) so that today my workout (1mi warmup, 5mi pace, 0.5mi cooldown) is the same saved workout for tomorrows (1.25mi warmup, 8mi slow distance, 0.75mi cooldown). I open the app on the watch, select my “workout” and enter my three distances for that day and off I go. No need to create each before hand or change distances before hand). Simply a time saver. Developer listens to feedback and implements features/changes where he can).

    Thank you so much for the kind review. I'm very glad that you enjoy using it!
