### 3/5 — Pretty good with a few easy to fix issues

*2026-08-30, version 5.5.4*

Overall I’m pretty happy with the app. It connects quickly and seems to work reliably for controlling the treadmill.

2 issues that really annoy me:
1. Starting a workout via the app also starts the app’s music. I don’t want this ever and so it’s an extra step and makes noise I don’t want.
2. The workout sync to the apple health ecosystem is nice, but it doesn’t include the number of steps taken which seems like an obvious omission and should be easy to fix.

### 3/5 — Chargement long

*2026-08-30*

Fonctionnalités pratiques MAIS… Chargement ultra long des programmes etc… a quand une amélioration de la vitesse de chargement ?

### 2/5 — When it works it is great

*2026-08-26, version 5.5.3*

Using this to connect to my Vitalwalk walking pad. When the app decides to connect properly it works beautifully but that is about 50% of the time. I get a connection but it doesn’t actually connect, then a couple weeks later it works fine for a few times. Super frustrating experience. I know it is the app because I can connect to other apps and it works fine but I do like the tracking on this better.

### 4/5 — Presque top

*2026-08-22*

Associée à mon tapis Fousae cette appli est top mm si la majorité des fonctions sont payantes il reste assez de gratuites pour bien fonctionner. Bien donc SAUF le décompte des pas ! Qui sont multipliés par …6 ! Pourquoi ?? Bug a corriger.

### 4/5 — Vraiment Top

*2026-08-13*

La connexion entre l’application est l’appareil est très fluide. Les challenges sont très intéressants. Par contre impossible d’indiquer le pourcentage d’inclinaison du tapis pendant notre exercice donc pas sure que les calories brulées affichées sur l’appli soient exacts.

### 4/5 — Great courses & coaches, UI often doesn’t match the guidance

*2026-08-04, version 5.5.0*

Very good coaches but cadence is very often out of sync with their instructions. So, poor quality control by developers. Everything else is very very good.

### 3/5 — Ist ok…. Aber

*2026-07-24*

Ich nutze die App für das Laufband nun etwas über 1 Jahr. Die Option für den Neigungswinkel gibt es immer noch nicht.
Weiterhin stört mich, dass ich im Schnellstartprogramm keine eigene Musik hören kann. Auf meinem Bluetoothspeaker läuft dann meine Musik mit dem Rums aus dem Programm unterlegt. Das ist nicht schön.

**Developer response:** Hallo, es tut uns sehr leid, dass Sie mit FitShow nicht zufrieden waren. Bitte zögern Sie nicht, uns per E-Mail unter support@fitshow.com zu kontaktieren und uns die aufgetretenen Probleme mitzuteilen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, FitShow

### 4/5 — Great Tracker

*2026-07-19, version 5.5.0*

Love the challenges and the tips. I wish I could enter food that I don’t eat for the menu suggestions.

### 2/5 — Misleading

*2026-07-16, version 5.5.0*

I never got to try it so I don’t know how good the content is, but beware. You must connect a machine to the app to use it. I wasted my money not knowing this. It should really say this before starting a subscription. And you must have a subscription to use it. I tried several different ones and all took me to subscription page. Only after I signed up did it say anything about connecting a machine to it. Mine is older and doesn’t have Bluetooth. Waste of money and time

### 5/5 — Bom

*2026-07-13*

Excelente

### 5/5 — Great workout

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2026-07-06, version 5.4.9*

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Great in theory.

*2026-08-30, version 5.5.4*

I bought a mini treadmill off of Amazon a couple months back as I needed to increase my movement throughout the day and would like to lose some weight. The treadmill had a qr code that had led me to download this app. While it seems great, I seriously do not understand why I need to pay a subscription to access certain aspects of the app INCLUDING reccomended workouts when I already bleww $100 on the treadmill itself.

### 1/5 — Laggy app doesn’t work broken wrist treadmill

*2026-08-24, version 5.5.3*

This app should run for worst app of all time fist off doesn’t tell my the right anything doesn’t tell me what speed I’m going I clicked stop and confirm did not stop I fell and broke my wrist

### 1/5 — Nothings right

*2026-08-23, version 5.5.3*

I bought a treadmill and I scanned a little QR code and went through everything. I just did a 3 mile workout and it said that I didn’t even do 2 miles. I cannot get it to do the right speed that I was doing on the treadmill app. And on top of that, I already paid for the treadmill and now they want me to pay more for a premium sub be able to use most of these functions. Junk.

### 1/5 — App sucks

*2026-08-17, version 5.5.3*

Never works for the plans when I need them. When I click on a plan it loads for 5 mins. And then Changes the speed of my workout before it starts. I’m supposed to be doing a walk jog and it keeps resetting to walk. Takes up 20 mins of my day to get this pos going!!!!!!

### 1/5 — doesn’t track steps

*2026-08-12, version 5.5.2*

doesn’t track steps below 2km/h speed

### 1/5 — Connection issues

*2026-08-10, version 5.5.2*

If only it wouldn’t continually disconnect before I finish my work out. It’s extremely annoying

### 1/5 — Leave it alone

*2026-08-01, version 5.5.0*

This app used to be pretty good, but over time less and less so. Now when custom plans are made the screen no longer shows where you are on the schematic nor does it show distance travelled until you exit. I guess you have to pay membership fees now to “customize “ your experience. Wish I’d invested in something else.

### 1/5 — I hate this app! Stupid way to control a treadmill

*2026-07-04, version 5.4.9*

The app is not intuitive or user friendly. Glitches up often. Gets stuck in a mode where everything is sideways and you can’t change. It’s super hard to find the basic main thing to control which is how to control and change the speed. This is just a stupid wag to have a treadmill controlled it should have come with a remote or buttons on the treadmill. They make you sign up for an account to and it’s a huge headache just to use the stupid treadmill.

### 1/5 — Worst app, it only shows the 10% of the calories

*2026-07-02*

If treadmill shows 110, app only show 11 calories

**Developer response:** Hello, We are sincerely sorry that your experience with FitShow was not satisfactory. Do not hesitate to contact us by email at support@fitshow.com and let us know about the problems you encounter. Kind regards, FitShow

### 1/5 — Had to uninstall

Free integration with Apple Health. Everything works, control through phone and can even connect with earPods at same time.

### 5/5 — Greatest Treadmill App Ever

*2026-07-17, version 5.5.0*

Personally this beyond a game changer it made working out at home so therapeutic being able to see the world and walk the paths of others is just beyond liberating and leaves me feeling free and inspired and powerful
