### 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.

### 2/5 — stress trainer

*2019-05-30*

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

### 3/5 — Great app for city hiking!Would like Topo maps ,and offline downloads.

*2019-03-02, version 10.8.1*

This app has a lot of features I like.I recently hiked 16 miles on the Grand Canyon and app stopped working due to no service.I think you would make your app more presentable if you’d add some topo maps and a pre download option of the maps.Then I would love to upgrade to pro version again.

### 3/5 — A

*2017-11-19*

A

### 2/5 — Don't Spend the Money

*2016-06-20*

I bit and bought the $10 upgrade. Mistake. First, that $10 only gets you one year. Second, the voices are exremely limited, and for the money, I don't want to listen to Siri or one of her international counterparts. A review I read led me to believe there were many various voices to choose from. Nope. And finally, the clock and stats on the Apple Watch app did not keep up at all. Waste of funds.

### 1/5 — Datenkrake

*2016-04-24*

Hier wird nur versucht jede Menge Daten abzugreifen!

### 4/5 — Einfach in der Handhabung und praktisch

*2016-04-18*

Habe meinen Schrittzähler verlegt und wollte kurz meine Laufstrecke ausmessen. War selbsterklärend und 2 min später ging es los...

### 1/5 — Way to complicated.

*2016-03-02, version 10.5.4*

I had to restore my phone. I was on week 2 day 1. The app has zero ways to jump from 1st week to 2nd week day two. It's so frustrating I just walked out of the gym and went home. How can I get my money back?

### 1/5 — NERVIG

*2015-11-01*

Alle 3 Sekunden Werbung! Nervt total

### 1/5 — Nervt nur mit Werbung

*2015-10-10*

Nein danke!

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — Just awful

*2019-02-17*

Was pulled into this app because I wanted it to connect to My Fitness Pal. Big mistake.  Overly complicated screens actually don’t provide good functionality - for example, you can only select the first of three workouts of the week on the right-hand nav of one screen. UX is clearly not a priority ...best example being the Apple Watch screen...when in use, the shoe logo is huge on the watch screen - but the data about your workout is in mouse type, rendering it literally unusable. 
And I have to go to settings to tell it I am on a treadmill? Well, duh. If I have GPS on and a run program is active and I am recording steps, I must be on a treadmill. 
App never tracked my run even with GPS on and great signal (and it knew where I was starting). 
Wasted $9.99. Back to Fitness 22’s training apps.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t even create an account.

*2018-11-08*

Took me longer to download, then it took them to come up with an Advertisement. I couldn’t even create an account before an advertisement for Intuit pop up. The screen then froze on the advertisement and I couldn’t do anything.

### 1/5 — Have to pay for alerts

*2018-04-11, version 10.7.7*

The free app doesn’t provide alerts to tell you when to run or walk so basically it’s pointless. Who wants to run watching their phone so they know when to stop/start??I’m not paying for that function when plenty of other apps provide it as a standard.

### 1/5 — Dislike

*2016-06-06*

This app basically doesn't have any features. The app pushes the elite membership even before loading the app. The large advertisement that takes over your phone screen is annoying. Could not close the app advertisement. Every time the menu or settings are used an ad appears & the ad can't be closed. Really, advertisements while setting up the app. Would not pay for an elite membership. Plus the way the large ad was displayed and the fact that the app had to be closed to stop the ad makes me not want to use this app and will be deleting this and any other app from these developers will not be considered.

### 1/5 — Not "free" and useless

*2016-05-08, version 10.5.4*

Don't be fooled into thinking this "free" app can be used for any sort of running. You have to pay £7.99 a year (yes a year!) to be an elite runner. Well anyone who pays £7.99 a year to learn to run 5k and wants to think of themselves as "elite" is a fool. But with elite you get announcements and watch interaction ...so basically you have to run with phone held up in front of you to know when to run and walk. So useless. DELETED!!!!

### 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.

### 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.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Apple Watch

*2019-01-02*

Please make it standalone for Apple Watch.

### 5/5 — Très bien

*2017-05-06*

Cette application correspond à mes attentes. J'aimerais pouvoir aller regarder mes parcours sur ordinateur mais si cela est possible je n'ai pas compris comment faire.

### 5/5 — Beste workout app

*2017-03-23*

Flexibelste und umfangreichste Sport-App. Anzeige und Auswertungen individuell konfigurierbar. Tabellarische und graphische Analysen. Einstellbar für viele Sportarten. Kein Social Network Schnickschnack.

### 5/5 — Perfect for beginners!

*2016-11-13, version 10.6.4*

I downloaded the free version of this app in June with the intent on running my first 5k.  After 2 weeks I purchased the app to get all of its benefits. It's definitely worth it. The training builds you up at the right speed plus you can edit it if you need to. I went from not being able to run more than a 100 yards at the first of July to running my first 5k yesterday (9/10/16)with a finish time of 28:46. This app was a must for me!

### 5/5 — Prima

*2015-11-08*

Tolle Idee

### 5/5 — Great App with Great Customer Service

*2015-10-24*

This app is wonderful! It is helping me achieve my 5k goal. I had a problem getting the elite version on my phone. When I contacted customer service, they quickly worked with me to resolve my issue. It keeps my history, tells me when to run/walk, provides a map of where I ran. This app can do so much more, and I can't wait to learn to utilize it to its full potential.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2015-10-02, version 10.4.8*

Well thought training routines
