## What is RunCline?

RunCline provides incline information entered manually in the app and transmits it automatically over Bluetooth. Alternatively, it can read incline directly from your smart treadmill. It will also connect to an external foot pod and/or heart rate monitor and re-transmit the collected metrics over Bluetooth. What's the purpose? You can pair the phone or tablet running RunCline with Zwift and get incline, power, speed, cadence and heart rate. RunCline will also display all metrics on screen for you to view during your running. What's even better? Some smart-er treadmills can also be controlled by RunCline to make them track incline from Zwift on PC or Mac. 

RunCline can also pair with the Apple Watch to get heart rate and display some running metrics. The heart rate feature is using the HealthKit to transmit live heart rate values to RunCline and store them in Apple Health.

Requirements: You need to pair a Bluetooth compliant foot pod and/or supported smart treadmill to RunCline to use the app. Otherwise, you can select the VirtualPod in the list of Foot Pods to use RunCline as a source of speed and incline for Zwift.

Pairing screen:
* Select one foot pod in range or smart treadmill (required)
* Select one heart rate monitor in range (optional)
* The "Searching" button will display "Start" once the foot pod device or smart treadmill is paired. If the Start button does not appear within 5 seconds, you may need to activate your foot pod by running or walking.

RunCline screen. The running metrics from the foot pod, smart treadmill and/or heart rate monitor will be displayed on screen and re-transmitted to Zwift over Bluetooth. All running metrics are also saved to a .FIT file that can be emailed or exported after the run.

a) Select "Live" to display live metrics or "10-second" to get average metrics from the past 10 seconds.
b) Use the + and - buttons to select the incline (if no smart treadmill connected).
c) You can click the Volume Up and Down buttons on your phone or tablet to get spoken metric values.

Runcline can be used to run outside. It will provide audio cues at every kilometer or mile. If you are running with power, it can provide audio cues to keep you within your power target. You can define workouts by pace, distance or power. RunCline will notify you at the beginning of each interval. Once your workout is completed, the log report includes detailed results of your run with a summary of all running metrics from your foot pod and more.

### 5/5 — Excellent App support

*2025-04-06, version 2.0.0*

I initially was having some problems with bad data being reported on the app. Pascal immediately responded to my problem, worked with me over several weeks to correct the problems, and now everything works as he intended with my treadmill. If you're having a problem, I cannot recommend enough that you contact him to see if he is able to fix it. This is a great app, and it's really made tracking treadmill workouts more enjoyable and less painful. Thank you for the a great app!
PS...you ought to charge a fee for this app. There isn't another like it out there.

### 2/5 — Bad data

*2025-03-07*

I used this app successfully for a few runs, when I first downloaded it. Since those runs, though, any time I pair it to my treadmill (Wahoo KICKR Run) as a foot pod, and start a run, the distance usually immediately reads "38.18mi", and the elevation gain starts at 6000ft, and increases by many thousands of feet until the app crashes. I have tried turning BT off and on, reinstalling the app, but haven't had success. My treadmill is not one of the smart treadmills, but it does show up as a foot pod, successfully(the fees times it worked properly) displaying power and automatically displaying the correct incline (and computed elevation gain) when I change it on the treadmill, or if Zwift changes my treadmill incline. This is a great app, and I think it is very unique in the treadmill space. If you have time, I would appreciate you trying to troubleshoot this, so I can again enjoy your app. Thank you.

**Developer response:** Hi TexDrex,
I am very sorry to hear RunCline does not work with your treadmill. The new Wahoo KICKR RUN is just getting released to the market. It may not be directly compatible just yet with RunCline but I'll be happy to work with you to have it supported. Please send me an email at pcarrieres at hotmail dot com and I'll be happy to work with you to resolve the issue quickly.

Out of the 60+ treadmills supported by RunCline, I have only one at home. Treadmill manufacturers do not publish their private bluetooth protocols so I have to work with you and others to add the functionalities in RunCline.

### 2/5 — App is not updated — Zero Support

*2024-08-08, version 1.6.12*

App has only wiki documentation, but no way to support bugs or get help with issues. Could be a good app, but right now I can calculate gain in a web browser app. Just ran 4.5 miles on the main screen. After ending run it shows 7.37 miles, no not km. So there are inconsistencies with this app and some functions don’t even work. If a an app developer can’t update their app at least with 90 days or provide support, then it should be removed from the App Store.

### 2/5 — App crashing

*2024-06-17, version 1.6.12*

I really like the idea for the app, but it crashes a second after connecting to my new Domyos TC540C on any device I try (iPhone & iPad). Is this treadmill still compatible?

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-04-28, version 1.6.12*

This app also works well with SmartTrac smart treadmills. I recently went to Garmin Smart Watch and added the Heart Rate chest strap. RunCline picked up the HRM immediately, no problem. All this is now integrated into the Garmin Connect app for an outstanding detailed workout and health tracking system. Thanks much for developing this outstanding app!!

### 5/5 — Startrack Smart Treadmill

*2024-04-19*

App works great on this treadmill.
Two-questions:
1) what is best smart watch for the money that can be used with the app?
2) Any way to manually enter step length or SPM?

### 4/5 — Needs Data Logging

*2024-03-29*

The app works great on a Star Trac smart treadmill. All data is recorded including incline. However when the activity is ended all data is lost even though my iPhone Health app recognizes it. It needs to have a data history review similar to the “Goals-Fitness” app that keeps the history within the app instead of counting on the Health app to log the history. Otherwise it’s a great app!!

### 2/5 — not working on iOS 17 iPhone 15 pro max

*2023-10-06, version 1.6.11*

the app on iOS 17 does not seem to be able to find my Stryd devices, I have two stryds and I could not find them… on iOS 15 I can find my Stryd devices without issues, I will update my review once the issue is resolved ( Thank you developer! You should be charging for this app 😅✌🏻)

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2023-01-04, version 1.6.11*

Thanks for solving something that Strava and Zwift cannot - recording incline for treadmills! Only feedback is to record local time for workouts rather than a time off the coast of Africa. Thanks again for the app!

### 5/5 — Great app to get elevation data into Strava

*2022-09-28, version 1.6.10*

My treadmill (Technogym) like many treadmills doesn’t record elevation data for virtual runs. With this app, you can inject incline into the recorded treadmill data. So for example, you can use it to add incline data to the feed it sends to Zwift, and your Zwift or Strava virtual run will then correct elevation data. I am using this every day for my workouts, it is reliable and works great.
