Doesn’t work

I recorded 2 Rucks. I did the exact same ruck using the Apple workout app, then this app. Same pace, same route, using 55lbs in my ruck sack. This app doesn’t show a heart rate on my Apple Watch, and the was only a 5-10 cal difference recorded between the 2 apps

Versatile

Originally downloaded to track rucking time. This app has a bunch of other options with tracking movement. I was able to put what activity I was doing with what weight. I just completed a one mile run and it allows you to have alarms for whatever mark you want to reach. Like every quarter mile or mile. You are able to connect your Apple Watch if you have one. App totally function with bare bone usage. 100% worth downloading. I never write reviews but this app deserves the credit.

Great for rucking

Awesome app that helps me track my rucking progress. It integrates well with Apple Health and Fitness. Definitely recommend if you are looking to track any data regarding rucking and fitness.

No support

The app does a good job logging rucks, but my integration with Strava broke three weeks ago, and no one from support will respond to my attempts to get help.

Great app, but

Great app and is what I’m was looking for when tracking my rucking. Only issue is that the Strava upload is failing over and over . Reached out to RuckWell support and never hear anything back .

Will not save edits !!!!

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.
