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.
Love it but…
The watch app is glitchy. I’ve yet to use it and have it record a full ruck. It usually stops within a few minutes. The phone app generally does well but that has stopped recording at times as well.
Still not fixed for Apple Watch workouts
App seemingly and randomly quit ~30 minutes into ruck (saving it as “Other” workout). Restarted app and “new” ruck contained incorrect data (zero elevation gain throughout despite it being not flat at all, so I imagine calories are way off as well). Please fix this and I will subscribe! I’m about to give up and just use Endurac.

Pauses randomly, no record of ruck
I went on a long long ruck. It paused my effort randomly and then recorded the rest of the time as if I weren’t moving. Very annoying.
Amazing rucking app
Other than occasional glitches this is an amazing app. I use for rucking and plate carrier running.
Gave it another shot, same issues with Apple Watch.
Was encouraged that the auto-quitting of rucks started on Apple Watch might’ve been fixed, but just had it happen again this morning. The quit workout did however sync to my phone/Apple Health as “Other” - but not with any of the associated rucking metrics (including not being identified by Health nor RuckWell ad a ruck). Hope this gets sorted out as it’s still not fixed.

What happened!?
After the latest update, this app is cutting off mid-workout and it has deleted 2 workouts completely from existence! It’s turned into a piece of junk and time to move on to something else!
Disappointed
Watch app quits every time start a ruck.
No synch with RuckWell on Apple Watch
RuckWell on my Apple Watch records the workout accurately. However, the recorded workout doesn’t get transferred to the iPhone app.
Ok
When I first downloaded this about a month ago, it had issues syncing between my phone and watch. Ultimately I deleted the app from my watch and only used it on my phone. It's worked well since then. It announces my split time on thru my headphones. I like the ruck work / load / power metrics and that I can select how much weight I'm carrying and how (ie: vest). In the section for additional weight I wish they had a choice for a camelbak since I carry one with 3 liters of water on long rucks.

Won’t use Apple Watch and can’t change wt
Very difficult to navigate, can’t use the Apple Watch heart feature. Can’t customize the weight for your ruck. Completely useless app so better off using something like MapMyRide or MapMyRun.
IOS Health App
What is the difference between IOS health app and Ruckwell
Wtf
Why only after using this app 4 or 5 times does it not sync with iOS?! I did a workout and stopped the workout then started another after a rest. I completed the workout and on my watch it’s there but it didn’t transfer to the phone app, like they’re different? Really this doesn’t make me want to even consider purchasing your paid app, why am I even giving you my data free if you can’t even get this rite? I am getting absolutely nothing in return while you gather information. Quit being greedy and put some care into your business and society. Also, Phantom workout suddenly appear. I will be deleting this app and I won’t use it anymore. It’s rather unfortunate but you can’t even handle. This small task.

Test it before you use it
App doesn’t work you need to test it before you use it on a long ruck. I should’ve stopped when I noticed calories weren’t tracking. I paused halfway through, but you know what let me just end it. I clicked end it wrote the calories over to my phone and I thought oh cool it is working. I started a new one from the app when I got done with my complete workout I clicked in again and it only wrote 30 cal for the entire 5 miles. I’m writing this in April 2026 app doesn’t work. I’d recommend trying something else.

Doesn’t work
Does not work when walking on a treadmill even with it connected to my Apple Watch.
Not Properly Syncing
The phone app is not properly syncing with workouts recorded on my Apple Watch. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I’ve been through all the Health permissions. Workouts are also shown out of order in the History tab.
