Unimpressive

Should have knew this would be a total waste of money.

Repeatedly does not sync with iOS.

I have used this app for about six months because I thought it would be a better way to track rucking because of the features that let you add weight and how it’s carried. The app also uses a simplistic algorithm to track “ruck power”. You can do the same thing by adding notes to Strava workouts or titles to WorkOutdoors. It’s too bad, I had hopes this app would work for me. It didn’t.

Doesn’t work well with apple

This app could be good but misses the mark if you use an Apple Watch to track your workout. It doesn’t pair well. I import my workouts from Apple health but they never save correctly. When I try to save my ruck weights it doesn’t work. The information is therefore never accurate. What’s the point of using a rucking app if it won’t even save my ruck weight.

Unreliable

It was refreshing to find a “free” app that would allow to use it for the simple, straightforward stuff without have to pay. It offers a “plus” version but it doesn’t limit you or harass you in order to get it. It is good for tracking rucking, but it is not for tracking run. It pauses every 30 seconds and you have to press “resume” in order to keep tracking. It’s very disappointing.

Keeps pausing my workouts

The app started out great but recently started pausing my workouts. I have tried every setting but no fixes were found. I tried reaching out to support but received no response. If they can fix this issue then I would change my review to 5 stars.
