### 1/5 — What?

*2026-06-06*

"Diese App verwendet deinen Standort evtl. auch, wenn sie nicht geoffnet ist, was die Batterielebensdauer beeinträchtigen kann."
Falls, lt. Entwickler Antwort(siehe unten) die App keine Daten aufzeichnet während diese nicht aktiv ist, warum dann ein zusätzlich höherer Batterie 🪫 Verbrauch möglich ??

**Developer response:** Die App zeichnet Ihren Standort nicht auf, wenn Sie kein Training aufzeichnen. Wenn Sie weitere Informationen dazu benötigen, wenden Sie sich bitte an support@abvio.com.

### 5/5 — Getting back on track

*2023-12-31*

Gives you a program after an injury to get your pace back. Show up and follow instructions and you’ll get there

**Developer response:** Glad we can be there for you on your fitness journey! Thanks for sharing your review.

### 1/5 — This app is horrible and looks like something from the 90s

*2023-11-20*

I decided to try this app because it advertised that I could use it free of charge but of course that was a lie. I signed up for the trial which would give me one week free and then it would renew at $9. 99 for the following year. The app does not notify you on what interview you are so you have no idea how much longer you have to go. I tried to sync it with my calendar and the app kept crashing and of course it erased my entire workout that I was in the middle of doing, never again. If I’m gonna pay for an act there are much nicer ones out there with the features that I need. Do yourself a favor and find one of those apps.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that the app didn't meet your needs. If you decide to give it another try at some point, please reach out to support@abvio.com for help getting it set up properly to record your workouts.

### 5/5 — Easy to set up intervals

*2022-01-01*

This app takes the hassle out of intervals.  You can set the time for intervals and forget it.  You will not need to mess with your phone, just run!

**Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback! Thanks for your review.

### 1/5 — Not impressed.

*2020-08-13, version 11.0*

It does not allow independent use of Apple Watch, you have to carry your phone also. Completely defeats the object of having your watch, it would be helpful if this was stated and not having to look in the support element to find out.

### 3/5 — Indoor treadmill and indoor cycling

*2020-04-28*

I like the app, now with stay at home rules due to the pandemic, i wish I could use the app to track and record my indoor workouts.

**Developer response:** You can use the app to track your indoors workouts. You can record walks or runs on a treadmill, or record you indoor cycling workouts as well. If you write to support@abvio.com, we would be glad to help you get started.

### 5/5 — Beste Running App ohne cloud!

*2020-04-18*

Alles lokal im iPhone gespeichert und problemlos in Standard Formaten exportierbar! Zudem einfach bei iPhone Wechsel portierbar. So soll das sein, man bleibt Herr seiner Daten!!!
Wer mag kann natürlich trotzdem Twitter Facebook und die ganzen Fitness Portale einbinden. 
Support ist toll und antwortet hilfreich und sofort. 

Trainings-Programme sind auch super, von in 6 Monaten von Couch zu 5k gekommen!
Zwischendurch dachte ich echt das das alles Zuviel ist, aber die Steigerung ist genau richtig! Man sollte m.E. allerdings mit pulsgurt trainieren um sich besser einschätzen zu können. Die App sagt ja alles wichtige an und warnt bei verlassen der definierten Herz Frequenz Zone.

Das ist mal eine App die das Abo wert ist, diesen Entwickler unterstütze ich gerne!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihren ausgezeichneten und umfassenden Bericht! Wir danken Ihnen für Ihre Unterstützung!

### 1/5 — I have payed for this app and today they add ads?  What gives?

*2020-04-16*

I payed for this app and today their were adds scrolling through it, my whole run history was gone, voice prompts gone. I won’t be renewing it unless they fix it back to what it used to be.

**Developer response:** If you have an active subscription, but you are seeing ads, try going to More > Settings > Advanced > Restore Purchases to fix the problem. If that does not resolve the issue, please write to us at support@abvio.com for more help.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2019-11-03, version 10.8.18*

What a terrible app. It doesn’t tell you when to walk/run , it keeps stopping the time so u have to stop running to start the timer again. It doesn’t do what it says it does . Worse app ever. Do NOT use this app

### 2/5 — stress trainer

*2019-05-30*

Can teach you, how to avoid stress. Annoying ads, including pop-ups, crashes, design from 20-century.

### 12.1.50 — 2026-05-17

Siri & Shortcuts, reimagined

We've overhauled our Siri and Shortcuts integration. App Shortcuts now install automatically — no setup needed.

Control 5K Runmeter hands-free:
• "Hey Siri, ask 5K Runmeter to Start" (also: Lap, Stop, Discard, Reset, or Done)
• "Hey Siri, ask 5K Runmeter for Distance" (also: Time, Pace, Speed, Heart Rate, Power, Grade, and more)

Examples:
• "Hey Siri, ask 5K Runmeter to Start"
• "Hey Siri, ask 5K Runmeter for Average Speed"
• "Hey Siri, ask 5K Runmeter for Grade"
• "Hey Siri, ask 5K Runmeter to Stop"

Heads up: Any Shortcuts you created previously will need to be deleted and recreated. Wind and road noise can prevent Siri from hearing you, so commands work best when stopped or moving slowly.

### 12.1.49 — 2026-03-17

Added grade zones for running and walking, as well as bug fixes and other improvements.
