Halloween and ads

This has to be the worst app user interface. Everything is screaming for your attention while you just want to log your walk so it synchronizes with your health app.

But no, let’s make that simple use case harder in favor of useless stuff: join a club, share posts, a 3d map that is hard to tell what it does, Halloween emojis instead of icons for navigation.

Just ask AI to redesign your app and fire whoever approved that UI

Worse than Temu or Sheen

All I need is an app that records my steps back to my Apple health. While this app does that, it is overly obnoxious with its pop-ups, and ads to buy a subscription to work out with friends online. Nobody really wants that. All anybody really wants is their steps recorded to the Health app that’s it. I’m almost ready to stop using the app and manually Enter my steps. It’s over the top unnecessary gamification that nobody cares about.

Good remote running

I can race or run alongside friends even when we are in different places. It adds a social element to training. The connection has been reliable. It works well for remote friends.

Response from developer

Great to hear the remote running and social race feature is working smoothly for you and your friends! Keep enjoying those virtual runs together.

Forced app download

I did wonder why it was cheap. Now I know. In order to turn it on you are forced to download an app (which took 15 minutes- what kind of app takes that long?) and you can’t do anything without it. Will be sending it back.

Annoying constant ads.

This app is constantly trying to get you to click on their ads and pay for things. Very annoying. Should be just a basic app but it’s weird af. Shouldn’t cost money to use a freaking fitness app for a treadmill you already paid for. Literally this app is what is wrong with the world lol. Treadmill itself is fine but makes me wish I got a different one that connects to a normal app.

Garbage

This app is so trash. Why am I losing sound everytime my phone connect to your app? It took me 30 min to fix….

Cheaters

Don’t bother wasting your time with any of these games because if anything at all happens during that hour, where you need to step off of it for one second they will basically disqualify your whole effort in your whole hour. It is a complete waste of time. I stepped off for less than 10 seconds to grab my phone or a remote and even though I walked for a whole hour because I actually did they were gonna say that I didn’t. That is totally disgusting.

Good for goal setting

I set a target time before each event and work toward it. The event gives me a clear deadline. That structure helps me train consistently. It adds purpose to my runs.

Response from developer

Great to hear the target‑time feature is giving your runs purpose and consistency! Keep setting those deadlines and enjoy every stride. 🚀

Why does this app have a 5 star rating

The fact that the company needs to artificially inflate their score when they respond to many of the comments shows that they don’t actually act on the concerns of their customers. There are so many 1-3 star reviews that aren’t counted in the score. The app is fine, they force you to use it because they want to convince you to subscribe which is sad. Just make a quality product instead of these cheap tactics. I won’t be using this app after being bombarded with adds to get the premium before I even set up my walking pad. It’s sad because the actual walking pad seems great. Very disappointing, do much better!

good app

very good and encouraging app for using treadmill

Response from developer

Glad the treadmill mode keeps you motivated! Your feedback helps us keep the workouts engaging. Enjoy your next session!

Love it!!!

I have always wanted to get a walking pad and seen these advertised with great reviews and people satisfied. So I order and I am also loving it!!! It’s lightweight, easy to move around. Low noise and I like the design and color. Using the app is easy and convenient. I think I will buy another one that has more speed tho.

¡Qué alegría leer que disfrutas tanto de tu Walking Pad! Nos encanta saber que su diseño ligero, bajo ruido y la experiencia en la app son de tu agrado. Esperamos que la nueva versión con mayor velocidad sea justo lo que buscas. 🚶‍♂️💪

Good for short cardio sessions

A single race is enough to get my heart rate up and feel productive. It is efficient and intense. I can fit in into a short break. It works well for quick workouts.

Response from developer

Glad the single race keeps your heart rate up and fits into quick breaks! Enjoy those intense, efficient sessions. 🚀

Good on Wi-Fi and mobile data

I have used the app on both connections and it worked without issues. The performance did not change noticeably between them. That flexibility is useful when I am away from home. It is one less thing to worry about.

Response from developer

Glad to hear the app keeps up whether you’re on Wi‑Fi or mobile data—no hiccups means more time for workouts, not connectivity worries! Keep enjoying your training.

Good for tracking consistency

Seeing how many days in a row I have run motivates me to keep the streak going. The app makes consistency visible. That has helped me build a more regular routine. It is a simple but effective feature.

Response from developer

Great to hear the streak tracker is keeping you motivated! Glad it’s helping you build a regular routine. Keep up the good work!

Reliable match history

My past races are stored correctly and are easy to browse. I can review old matches without issues. The history is well organized. It makes tracking progress simple.

Response from developer

Great to hear the match history works smoothly for you! Glad the organized view helps track your progress. Keep enjoying your races!

Buying Reviews

The only reason this app has more than zero stars is because the devs are posting fake reviews. You have to close out 3-4 pop up ads before you get to the actual app. And as an app for controlling a treadmill it is a complete failure. No way to save speeds, you can only increase the speed by .1 miles an hour each tap, so god help you if you want to jog at 6 miles an hour!

It doesn’t work for my lifestyle

The treadmill is a treadmill no complaints about that. The activities and events are motivating, that part is true. My one star is because you can’t do anything else on your phone while running the app. If it moves to the background for more than 5 minutes then it shuts your workout off. For me this is a dealbreaker. I read on phone, use it for the remote on the tv and my music. So all of the things that I do to make the workout time go by, can’t be done.

Response from developer

Désolé que l’app ne supporte pas votre multitâche. Actuellement, pour garantir la précision du suivi, l’application doit rester active en premier plan. Nous prenons note de votre retour et l’examinerons pour de futures améliorations.

Great app would recommend

Super convenient in tracking my workouts and staying consistent

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words! It’s great to hear that our workout‑tracking and consistency‑features are working well for you. Keep up the awesome progress!

Simple result sharing

Sharing a race result with a friend is straightforward. The process takes only a moment. It makes it easy to compare performances. That social element adds to the experience.

Response from developer

¡Qué genial que el compartir resultados sea tan rápido y sencillo! Nos alegra que la función social mejore tu experiencia de comparación. ¡Sigue disfrutando de tus carreras con PitPat!

Such a fun app

My favorite is the race where I can be in the ‘virtual’ environment with other runners and also have a chance to win some cash!
