Great Tool

Wow! I love this app! It’s great for getting insights on my shows health. I love how it has an option for many shoe pairs! Tip: I would love if you made a widget showing shoe stats! I hope that this app grows popular! 👟👟👟

Essential tool for any runner

Love the minimalist design and how simple it is to use. There was an issue I had with duplicate miles appearing, but this latest fix addressed that bug. Great to see a developer dedicated to making continuous improvements. Thank you!!!

Thank you for giving Sole Insights a try. I'm sorry to hear that the ignore duplicates feature isn't working for you. While Sole Insights has been tested for compatibility with a variety of top run tracking apps, I would love to make sure it works in your specific scenario. If you would like to share more details, please reach out at support@burrowbytes.com. I would love to get this fixed to improve the experience for every user.

Simple and Effective

Really solid app; looks clean and runs well. Would love if you were able to add fractional miles — those 0.5’s can add up!

Response from developer

Thanks for using Sole Insights and thank you for your suggestion! I am delighted to share that version 2.1 now supports fractional units via the manual functionality! Input like this makes the app better for everyone.

Broken duplicate workout function

Love the minimalist design and how simple it is to use except that it is duplicating all my runs. I have the ignore duplicate feature on and it does not do anything. I tried other apps similar to this and did not change a thing in how I log runs. Those apps do not duplicate my miles.

Best

Great app! I really wish you could hide the activity history though or at least only show most recent 5. I have to scroll like 200 lines to manually add a workout

Update: 1/17/23
Feature I requested was added. Zero complaints now!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! Version 1.5 is now available and includes improvements around activity history, so no more scrolling!

Best app out there

This app is the best app for runners who use Apple Watch to track their workouts. No more tangling with Strava or other apps to do the simple task of tracking shoe mileage. It has a simple interface and takes no time to get set up. You don’t here an account and the app does not connect any data.

It’s almost perfect. There’s a small wish list of things it did differently. The Home Screen widgets don’t update until you tap on them and open the app. Ideally, they’d update as soon as the workout was synced to the Health app. The Home Screen widgets don’t open the app directly to that shoe’s page in the app. The shoe page in the app has the “add manual” and “configure” sections at the bottom, after a long list of workouts. Ideally, the long list of workouts works come last. The app doesn’t support hiking workouts. If these were added, it would be five stars without a doubt.

Perfectly minimal

Does exactly what you need it to, and well! Especially now that you’re not able to import other apps into Strava, this allows you to automatically read in any run that writes to Apple Health workouts (and plug any non-recorded runs manually)

Only minor issue I have is the Home Screen widget is frozen/doesn’t refresh. Having this would be a nice touch for a low intervention solution

Update: widget is now working correctly as of v1.4 🙌

Can’t import all workouts

It only allows you to import 90 days worth of workouts, which makes it unusable for me.

Response from developer

Thank you for trying Shoe Health and for providing your feedback. As of version 1.4, you can now customize how far back you’d like to view workouts for, including all time.

Exactly what I was looking for

I love the simplistic style of the app, and the Apple Health compatibility is a huge plus! It would be nice to be able to import an image of your shoe instead of having a generic shoe icon for each shoe.

It looks like there is a little bug though. When i close and reopen the app my shoe duplicates on the list.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words and helpful feedback! I am pleased to report that the bug you mentioned has been resolved as of version 1.3.3. Allowing for custom images is a frequent request and something that is being considered for a future release. If you have any other issues or feedback, please feel free to reach out! Thank you for using Shoe Health!
