Upset triathlete
The idea of this app is great. But it is not designed well for interval sets. It only allows 19 intervals in a “set” so I’m having to create 3-6 sets depending on my workout.
It also skips intervals or duplicates them A LOT. It’s frustrating and highly annoying. It gets so bad sometimes I’ll try to just use manual mode but it keeps running from the messed up set.
Sure hope it gets fixed soon. Rather disappointed!

Lack of basic features required by a modern app for such an expensive product!
The app quality is not in line with the price of the pool itself.
It is not possible to create programs with more than 19 entries (?!?), and the creation of the entries is clunky to use an euphemism: if you want to create a 10x100 set, you need to manually copy-paste the individual entries and you cannot copy-paste breaks.
The app does not link with any other modern fitness apps and it does not allow to build, store (and possibly share) the training programs online.
Sometimes for unspecified reasons the program breaks and the pool just stops working.
A major revision is required!

Lacks an intuitive simple way to get connected with app
How long is too long as I wait for it to connect I wonder what and where I did something wrong
Needs a Serious Upgrade
I love the concept of the Fit@Home app, but in practice, it really falls short. The biggest issue is that it feels outdated and clunky. It frequently fails to connect to Wi-Fi, which makes tracking workouts inconsistent and frustrating. Even more disappointing is the complete lack of integration with popular fitness apps like Strava or Garmin—something that’s become pretty standard in the fitness tech world.
At this point, it feels more like a missed opportunity than a useful training companion. That said, I’ve heard rumors that an updated version is in the works. If that’s true, I really hope Endless Pools is listening to user feedback—this app has potential, but it desperately needs a modern overhaul.

Unreliable
Doesn’t work. Constantly loses WiFi connection. It could be a great tool if it worked but it’s just useless. I use the primitive remote control instead. At least the remote control works.
0/10
So many glitches, not sure how a company like endless pool puts up with an app like this. All my workouts are interrupted by the app.
1-if you have 30m X 5 the app will stop after the 3rd 30m.
2-when you finish a session the machine keeps on running because the app has not ended the workout. The list goes on and on.
People who work on this app should be ashamed that they have such a lousy, terrible, incompetent app. Why Endless pool continues with this I don’t know!!

so much potential
this app could be so much more than it is. it feels like they shipped a minimally viable product, then stopped.
Brilliant idea but very unreliable
I’d still recommend using it despite the glitches and crashing. It has transformed (for the better) my enjoyment, tenacity and progress of swim training. I BEG endless pools to invest - even just a little - in improving the app so that it works more reliably. More functionality would be great but keeping the same functions, and just fixing the glitches, would be a huge step forward.

Buggy
The app frequently crashes in use. For example in the middle of a set of swimming intervals it decides to add 30 minutes of walking. When it works it’s great but if goes wrong about one in five times. There is no way to share routines and it’d be useful if it had some routines built in too.
Sad
Every complaint listed remains - it just doesn’t work except for rare occasions, and then is buggy and cumbersome at best.
It’s profoundly disappointing to spend $70k on equipment to only afterwards discover the company that took your money will not invest in real software to operate your investment.
Come on watkins/endless pools - either provide robust working applications or release your API so that someone who cares can develop for the people whose money you took.
If you’re considering buying an endless pools product, believe these reviews before giving them your hard earned money for faulty products.

Distance calc broken
Hadn’t used the app in a while and started again recently. It appears to be miscalculating the distance based on the pace and duration. Eg. 2:07 min/100m pace for 30 min says 312 meters which is clearly wrong. Hopefully a simple fix.
Updates Needed
This is a cool app. However it often changes my intervals or skips one. I have also had issues with the timer completing on the last interval, but the current doesn’t shut down. I don’t know the workout has ended.
Terrible workout creation interface
Take a look at Aviron as a rowing/workout interface. They gamify something that can get monotonous like rowing and gamified it. With the cost of installing a pool why not have a software system that follows that same innovative approach? Seriously guys take a look at their approach and consider a total shift in your approach to make swimming workouts more interactive!

So much promise but Disappointing
As a triathlete it’s nice to be able to structure my workouts in the app and let it go. That’s the reason for the 2 stars. Unfortunately it falls very short. The app malfunctions a LOT - it won’t connect to pool, it won’t load workout to pool, it messes up the workout (skips intervals or extends the intervals). I also do not understand why it only allows 19 intervals. To get a workout in, I often have to have 4 different workout segments.

Cool concept, but the app is hardly functional
My only issue is with the workouts section of the app. You were able to create a work out with different intervals and speeds and then you are supposed to be able to click play and it will run through your created work out. However, it is constantly skipping rest intervals and even sets, and also just not stopping when it is supposed to go to the next interval. Very frustrating. Hopefully they will provide a software update to fix all of these bugs.

Needs a software developer and a swimmer to work together
I’m not sure who designed this app but it has enough problems to be frustrating. Most recently when changing paces in manual it wipes out accumulated distance.
Skips Step during Workout
Updated APP has two MAJOR FLAWS
1. APP will SKIP a step whenever it wants. VERIFIED with different workouts on different days.
2. APP has a step limit of 20. There is no reason for this. ALL iPhones and devices have plenty of memory nowadays.
As an APPLE Developer, these should be VERY easy to fix as well as other flaws documented in these reviews for as much as the FitAtHome costs.

Rest feature messing things up
Excited for the rest feature. It messes with the order of things. Ughh
Still buggy
I have an E2000 with treadmill and the app frequently stops my workouts while in progress. Then I have to force quit the app and reopen it. It then makes me start the workout over since you can’t jump directly to another step. Sometimes it won’t even load initially and I have to force quit multiple times just to get a workout started. It also mixes up the treadmill and swim a lot – it will say it’s a run but the treadmill is off and vice versa.

The app needs some work
Even though I have created a 1 hour workout, the screen flashes to “done” after half an hour. (Treadmill and current continue to operate). I’m also finding that I have to go through the whole setup process every time I use the treadmill or swim current.
