What's New in ProsoStride

2.2.0

October 19, 2026

• Cadence Intervals, a new tile. Set a warm-up, then a fast and a slow phase, each with its own cadence and length. For example run 2 minutes at 160, walk 1 minute at 110. It repeats until you stop. Walk or run is chosen in its settings. • At every change between fast and slow, the metronome plays the new cadence for a while (15 to 120 seconds, you choose). Then the zone sounds tell you if you are in. Guard works as always. • Cadences from 80 to 200 steps per minute, slow enough for an easy walk. • The intervals guide you on the Feedback and Metronome tabs. On Free there are no cues, but the interval clock keeps running. • Start Cadence Intervals from Apple Watch too, on a new screen between Cadence and HR Zone. • Apple Watch taps in cadence workouts. When your Watch is part of the workout, the workout screen has a Vibration switch. Turn it on and the Watch taps the metronome beat on your wrist (a firm tap on every second step), taps along with the zone sounds, and taps at every change between fast and slow. • Mute plus Vibration: the iPhone stays silent, the beat is only on your wrist.

No Apple Watch

Not working without Apple Watch even though it advertises no Apple Watch required. Stole my money basically.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to write, and I'm genuinely sorry for the frustration. You're right that ProsoStride's Cadence walk and run are meant to work on iPhone alone, with no Apple Watch - and they do. What went wrong is a mistake on my side: instead of asking for the "Motion & Fitness" access it needs to count your steps, the app showed a misleading "Apple Watch required" message. That wording was simply wrong - the mode needs motion access, not a Watch. I've already submitted an update that fixes it: the app now requests Motion & Fitness properly and shows an accurate message. Quick fix: open Settings → Privacy & Security → Motion & Fitness and turn ProsoStride on if it's listed; if not, the update handles it for you. Thanks for the feedback. Bart
