### 4/5 — Just short of perfect

*2024-01-27, version 3.6*

The workouts on this app are fantastic and just what I need when I want to keep up with running but I’m not training for a race. I do have a couple of suggestions though: - The visuals are a bit distracting. I wonder if there might be the opportunity for a redesign without the rotating pictures and maybe something a little more plain. Or even just visuals of landscapes. - Listening to other audio seems to be limited to Apple Music and it has never worked for me, in general. It would be great if this could be more seamless, and if it also worked with Spotify or with other audio apps (e.g.: Audible, Libby, etc.)

### 4/5 — Easy no thinking tread workouts

*2021-08-09, version 3.4.1*

I bought this app because I was running out of treadmill workouts to come up with. This app is exactly what I was looking for and the trainer is a good motivator. The only reason I only gave it 4 stars is because there’s no way to delete the workouts when you’re done and it takes up a bunch of space on your phone.

### 3/5 — Good, but app needs refining

*2020-12-19, version 3.4.1*

The app doesn’t let you filter workouts or delete, so it consumes space on your device. I have written in about the music player not working well, specifically the volume with each song change, but no response from developer.

### 3/5 — Good app

*2020-08-29, version 3.4.1*

Great run and motivation! Could get my music to work

### 3/5 — Pulse Tread

*2020-06-26, version 3.4.1*

I like this app, but it won't play my music which makes for a boring run. 
Does anyone else have this problem??

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2020-04-02*

I tried the free beginners class.  I really enjoyed it but then was very disappointed that there is no way to integrate the data with Apple Health or Activities.  I will not be subscribing

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2017-01-17, version 3.0.10*

I would love it to have music that goes with the trainer.  Just like a real class.  Overall I like it.  

I really like you can buy one class without having to commit to monthly payments.

### 3/5 — Great workout, poor sound quality

*2016-06-02, version 3.0.10*

I used to workout at Pulse fitness studio until I moved away, so I was very excited to find this app! The workout is amazing. However the sound quality isn't great and it's difficult to hear if you have music playing. I use Spotify and there is no volume control on the music, nor is there a volume control on the Pulse app. So the instructions are drowned out by the music. I find it frustrating because who wants to run without music?! I wish the app could turn up the volume or the sound quality was more clear.

### 4/5 — Love it...when it works

*2016-03-24, version 3.0.8*

Minor glitches and shut downs causing reloading of app. However when it works, it's amazing and motivating! No more boring treadmill work outs!

### 3/5 — Need more music options

*2015-10-24, version 3.0.7*

Please create a way to interface the app with other music options such as Amazon music, Pandora and Spotify. I am one of those people that gets very little music from iTunes so this leaves me with limited music options. Overall I like the concept. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Work. That. Body.

*2015-04-30, version 3.0.4*

PulseTread rocks!  A new 30min treadmill challenge each day. Update is MUCH cleaner, faster, and has monthly/yearly subscription option😁👍🏃💪
Love it!!

### 5/5 — Wow! No more Barry's Bootcamp

*2015-04-29, version 3.0.3*

I was laying $200 a month at Barry's Bootcamp before I Found this app. It's amazing! Workout is just as good, just sprinkle in some weights when he tells you and you have the best workout around. Thanks Pulse!

### 5/5 — How a personal trainer gets coaching

*2015-04-27, version 3.0.3*

New interface is much better.  Thanks for fixing the glitches from before.  I'm a personal trainer myself and I find this a great way to get a little coaching myself. Great app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-04-08, version 3.0.3*

Keeps treadmill running interesting.

### 5/5 — New update works great!!!

*2015-04-05, version 3.0.3*

I love this app- seriously will not run on a treadmill without it. I'm seeing great results by changing up my running routine! Love the new look and the latest update fixed the music and routine loading issues.

### 5/5 — Best workout APP EVER

*2015-03-22, version 3.0.1*

This app is amazing.  You get a full cardio fat burning workout in 30 minutes.  I recommend this to anyone who is short on time, traveling or owns a home treadmill.  Mark @pulsefitness is the man!

### 4/5 — The only thing constant is change

*2015-03-20, version 3.0.1*

LOVE this app. I'm not your traditional runner. I get bored, but I can do close to 3 miles in 30 mins with this app and NO boredom! BUT I did lose my previous runs from early 2014 with the update... 😓😩😪😱

### 5/5 — Fantastic motivation

*2015-03-16, version 3.0.1*

I just have to get on the treadmill, set my music and run. I love that Mark has the plan. I just have to run for 30 min.

### 1/5 — App not working correctly

*2021-10-23, version 3.4.1*

The app is working awfully it has been two weeks since contact and despite the repeated email exchange the issue has not been resolved still. What a waste of a subscription.

### 1/5 — Can't download

*2013-07-22, version 2.4*

Had to restore my phone and tried to download app and it says it's no longer available...what happened?

### 1/5 — No Continuous Music

*2013-06-01, version 2.4*

Cannot get music to play continuously.  Had to stop numerous times during workout to try to get it to restart. One song would play and then stop. The app displays "Now Playing" but there was so sound except for instructor's. Very frustrating! I think I'd love it if it would work properly. (Yes, I tried rebooting, deleted app and then reloaded..everything. Still no continuous music)

### 1/5 — ?

*2013-02-03, version 2.4*

Can't download it to iPhone.

### 1/5 — :-(

*2012-08-24, version 2.0*

Won't open.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2012-01-15, version 1.3*

I was quite disappointed with this app. Tried to use it the other day and I added my music to the workout and I couldn't hear the instructor over my music. Pointless.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2011-11-15, version 1.2*

Unless u want to buy routines don't download.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2011-11-05, version 1.2*

I want my money back. The app crash

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2011-10-03*

### 2/5 — Still up and running?

*2022-12-03, version 3.6*

### 5/5 — Shred Those Calories

*2021-04-20*

I’ve been using the app ever since the pandemic started. I use this App along with Pulse’s online workouts. I feel like I’m in a boot camp at home. My wife and I do circuits (on the tread / on the floor) and it’s really helped us keep off the COVID weight, and we actually got toned during this time!

Worth the investment!

### 5/5 — Always challenging but always achievable

*2019-06-12, version 3.1.1*

Love this app. Perfect amount of time, great variety and always the chance to push yourself.  (I actually prefer to train on the treadmill versus outdoors!)

### 5/5 — Hands down best workout app ever!

*2017-11-23, version 3.0.10*

This is the BEST workout app you will ever use. It’s challenging, motivating, and inspiring. Although all the running is on the treadmill it will improve your running time outdoors and train you for elevation. Thank you Mark for the years of challenging me and keeping me engaged in running!

### 5/5 — Love love love this app

*2017-06-30, version 3.0.10*

This app got me back into running and living it. I'm leaner than ever and in better condition then I have been in years! It kept me from being so bored with my runs until now I can't go a day with out running.

### 5/5 — Great app !!!

*2016-11-15, version 3.0.10*

Great workout. As a firefighter this app keeps me in shape for what I need to do on a daily basis!

### 5/5 — RUN SMARTER!

*2015-12-04, version 3.0.7*

Running faster and SMARTER than ever! Never thought I would run an 8.0 let alone pass that goal.. Combination of incline running and flat running makes a good, hard run feel attainable.

I highly recommend this for any level runner.

### 5/5 — Pushing the Pulse!

*2015-11-04, version 3.0.7*

This is by far the best workout you can get! I used to live in L.A. and experienced Pulse Fitness Studio in its infancy & to now be able to take its cardio workouts w/me is amazing! 

I use this app regularly for my cardio workouts and love it when I'm abroad and at that hotel/resort gym & need that added inspiration!

Great job Pulse Team! Congrats to your success!

### 5/5 — Best short workout

*2015-09-24, version 3.0.7*

Love this workout for quick, efficient workouts. 30 minutes and done.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!!

*2015-08-21, version 3.0.7*

Strongly suggest!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2015-07-30, version 3.0.7*

This is the best app ever for runners (or anyone else) looking for an amazing, endorphin filled workout. I especially like it when I'm traveling and short on time because it gives me everything I need in 30 minutes. My only minor request would be for the app to also be able to sync with a Spotify playlist, but it's still great that I can sync with my own iPhone playlist.
