The other review is accurate the app really struggles with Bluetooth. The app only connects to my tread, rarely headphone and there is no way to cast non tread workouts to your tv or other Bluetooth device - that makes workouts off the tread hard to use which sucks. It also won’t connect to my Apple Watch, so instead my stats connect to Apple health seperatly from other fitness apps like Strava. It’s the Bluetooth and connecting with things Bluetooth that needs to be developed and updated further for this to really be a success. Pls fix Sole+!!! ### 1/5 — Worst fitness link app I have EVER seen! *2023-07-27, version 2.52* Complete and total garbage. I have an F80 treadmill. This app barely connects to the treadmill but completely shuts off the buttons to the treadmill once connected. I guess that would be ok if you could actually control the treadmill from the app but you can’t. The Garmin Connect feature just flat out doesn’t work. This app is essentially useless unless the screen on your treadmill doesn’t work. Do not buy this treadmill if you want to connect to any fitness apps ### 1/5 — Worst software but an excellent treadmill *2023-07-22, version 2.52* As far as the treadmill itself, one of the best and sturdiest on the market in a friendly budget price point…but the app is a dumpster fire!! Please offer some college students some $$ and they will improve it 10-fold. Can’t connect to my F-85 and Jerod wanting me to use the other Sole+ app which is also a mess! For a professional fitness company, excellence is in the product but not the software! ### 2/5 — Request for more flexibility *2023-03-23, version 2.52* It would be nice if the sole app would allow the user to configure intervals more easily with less restriction on the treadmills If the sole app would prompt the user an interval for run time and a interval for walk time with an option to repeat any number of times that would be useful. For example to create a beginner interval: Enter run interval time: 00:15 (15 second run interval) Enter walk interval time: 00:45 (45 second walk interval) Repeat number of run/wal intervals: 029 (creating 29 paired run intervals of 15s with 45s walk intervals) ### 3/5 — Simple program but does send workout to Apple health app *2023-03-17* Pros: excellent treadmill program and simple app design to get workout’s completed. Allows users to enter personal information to have better workouts. Cons: app does not send workout info to your apple Health. So when it comes to tracking you have to take unnecessary time to enter it in manually. Overall the program need to integrate with apple fitness and health apps to better personalize and aid fitness goals. ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-02-18, version 2.52* Why go through all the trouble of developing this app if all it does is set up your workout and act as a mirror to he treadmills display? I mean, you have all the data from the exercise session in the app and you don’t even share it with the health app, or give the user any options to share this information with the various health and fitness tracking apps. As a former software developer, I’m completely at a loss for the logic behind this insane decision that completely neutered this app from actually being useful. ### 2/5 — Weak *2023-02-13, version 2.52* While I really enjoy our Sole E55, he support App is pretty weak. Does not provide a lot of options, ability to customize programs well, and seems to have errors in data provided. I believe, as in many cases, the App is a 3rd party provider. ### 1/5 — Inútil *2023-02-02* Para que quiero duplicar la pantalla en el móvil? Dice que transfiere los datos a Garmin y no hace nada. Habría que poder actualizar la consola para que se puedan ver Lis mismos datos y pantallas que en la App. ### 1/5 — Beware - Identity theft risk *2023-01-18, version 2.52* There is something fraudulent happening with this app. They will do a hard pull on your credit without your authorization. Do not download this app under any circumstances. ### 1/5 — Why Bother *2022-12-28* This app makes the machines rank at the lowest in exercise equipment. The Sole brand is a great product that I would advise anyone to purchase. The machines and customer service are rock solid but this app has to go. After 3 hours and two phone call to customer service, I finally was able to register the app and connect it to my Elliptical machine. It still was limited in what was displayed and inaccurate with what the machine displayed. Either get rid of the app or spend more time in development on getting its features to work. Why bother with frustrating your clients on trying to register the equipment and monitor your progress. ### 1/5 — Love the treadmill hate the app *2022-11-20, version 2.52* I bought a sole 80 and love the machine!! The app os absolutely horrible. If you link it to the machine, you can no longer program the machine from the panel only the app. The problem is that the app does not allow you to set up workouts like you can on the panel. So the app limits the treadmills capability!! The other is that the treadmill only syncs with this app!! As much as I love the treadmill, and I am no expert; If you are looking for a treadmill to sync to your phone and track workouts, find another one. ### 1/5 — Pathetic app *2022-11-17, version 2.52* The product owners of this app are incompetent. Too bad I cannot rate it 0 stars. ### 3/5 — Sole *2022-10-27, version 2.52* This app is better than Sole + Only complaint is time picker does not work for iOS 16. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-10-21, version 2.52* Bluetooth Never connects and send inaccurate information..it locates every piece of Bluetooth equipment you have except for workout equipment.. totally useless and waste of time beyond frustrating deserves zero stars ### 1/5 — Why is the App in Horizontal Mode Only? *2022-09-29, version 2.52* Please update the app so it can be viewed vertical to my iPhone ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-07-04, version 2.52* This is the worst app ever. It doesn’t capture your workout half the time, doesn’t sync with blue Roth the other half. Doesn’t sync with any other app. It’s totally useless. Honestly they should just delete it instead of pretending it works. If I could give it zero stars I would. ### 1/5 — Can’t login after first day *2022-03-27, version 2.52* I loved this app, but after the first day it doesn’t let me login. The phone number on their site only gets dishonest sales pitches. It is a good app but it seems it is set up only to gather phone numbers for spam purposes. There seems to be no way to get help with the app, like why sign in information is rejected nor how to fix it. Sole has a great reputation but this app is destroying it. ### 1/5 — This app serves little purpose and has a poor interface *2022-03-06, version 2.52* This app poorly connects to the treadmill and there is no visible option to export the data or sync it to other systems like Apple Health. The interface is pretty terrible and clunky. I don't actually see the purpose of this app. ### 1/5 — Iwatch *2022-02-28, version 2.52* Doesn’t support iwatch!!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless app *2025-06-26, version 2.52* Don’t bother downloading - you’re better off just manually entering the data from the treadmill screen into myfitnesspal or something along those lines. Don’t buy sole if connectivity is important to you. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-02-23, version 2.52* I can’t even get it to connect. Utterly useless. The treadmill and bike we purchased are very nice though. ### 1/5 — They are “globally transmitting” your your personal data *2025-01-16* Check this out, from the agreement: Personal Data Protection The protection of personal data shall be conducted in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act and relevant legal provisions. If the user agrees to the terms and conditions, s/he is deemed to have permitted the Company to collect, process, use and globally transmit his/her personal data to the extent as it deems necessary for service and business purposes.

Garbage app. ### 1/5 — App is worthless! *2024-03-07, version 2.52* I love my treadmill, but the app is worthless! What happened, Sole? ### 1/5 — it won't let me paste a password to create an account *2024-02-17, version 2.52* In order to register, you MUST type out your password instead of using copy/paste from a password manager. This prevents you from using long, secure passwords, because they are excruciating to type on a phone. Also it forces you to use it landscape, which really screws up the UI of iOS. You can't use all of the screen gestures you're used to. It's very frustrating to not be able to swipe between applications when Sole is open. Just terrible UX even before I got logged in, so I deleted it. ### 1/5 — Not connecting *2023-08-07, version 2.52* The sole app won’t connect to Garmin despite it being an option. The heart rate monitor won’t connect to anything despite changing the batteries. I don’t have the option to see what other apps I can use along side the sole fitness app. Disappointing for a newbie ### 1/5 — Not syncing with Apple Heath *2023-07-29* Not exporting data to Apple Fitness Health. Worked before, now not showing even as option. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Solid App *2022-09-08, version 2.52* This app works fine. You do have to go through a particular order to get it to sync with your machine or else it doesn’t work. It syncs well with my Garmin chest strap. It keeps a record of your workouts and that’s all I need. ### 5/5 — Works Fine for me! *2022-01-10, version 2.52* I downloaded it, created an account, and started using it. No problems. Not sure why so many others have a problem - maybe an earlier version of the app or the equipment? Gonna try Sole+ next. ### 5/5 — No issues *2021-05-28* This apps works perfectly fine for me. I’m actually impressed of how seamlessly it links up with my F63. It doesn’t even have a delay between the times shown on the actual screen of my F63 and my phone. I think there are some great features with this app. Could there be more? Sure, but I still don’t have any complaints for the app itself as of now. ### 5/5 — Review of reviews: *2020-09-30* To address all the complaints, realize most are old reviews. Also, be able to tell the unrealistic rating system to a functional app that works very well with my sole E25. 1. The app connects easily to the elliptical every time. 2. The app tracks more info than the panel shows including rpm and graphs. 3. The app is simple to use with a lot of areas to cover to track your progress. - I get no errors, no disconnects, no loss of exercise data, no issues after near ten uses. I use the heart rate monitor along with the app and play Bluetooth music all seemly through the device and even FaceTimed my gf while riding. So as far as I am concerned that if there are legitimate complaints I’d like to see their constructive criticism vs angry at the world review. App works as described. (((Request))) I would love if they fleshed out the graphs to track independent data and entire data especially heart rate based on time and dates with ability to see more specific progress. Reason for it is my average heart rate is not my min and max nor my target heart rate data. As a therapist there is a tremendous amount of unused potential in the graphs. Hope you continue to grow this app as I am an everyday user. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it’s supposed to, and no more. *2019-11-10* For me, the app connects first time, every time. Storing the data to MapMyFitness was a little confusing at first. Tech support got me the answer. You have to select the workout from the list, not from the calendar Even if you drill down to the individual workout on the calendar, it won’t work. It has to be from the list. I run the app on my iPad, so landscape only is no issue, though I would agree it’s a bad (lack of) feature. The display shows slightly different info than the display on my elliptical, and you have a few screens to select from. Plus it adds touch. The app does what it’s supposed to do. It doesn’t have a lot of features, but it’s not meant to. ### 5/5 — SOLE F63 treadmill Bluetooth works! *2019-06-27, version 2.37.2* I had no problem syncing to our F63 SOLE treadmill. It was easy to connect using Facebook sign in. I selected a fat burning work within the app and it started on the treadmill. Simple and clear instructions. Calendar day, week, month, year, and total to date exercise data is saved and app accessible. I’m very pleased! ### 5/5 — Sole fitness app *2018-12-04, version 2.25.1* Just bought an R92 Sole Recumbent bike. App works fine with Bluetooth connect. I had similar problems mentioned in other reviews but they disappeared when, after I had connected to my Ipad, I pressed the "stop" button on the R92 console. It's screen changed to "connected" and the dashboard reappeared on my IPad. Everything worked perfectly including saving a record of my workout. ### 5/5 — Е95 *2017-03-24* Работает ### 5/5 — Excellent Treadmill *2016-12-17* Excellent I am using Sole F85 Treadmill Good Professional Machine. ### 4/5 — Works for me *2021-08-24* So far, the app has been working just fine. No problem connecting to the machine (E25). Big bright display that gives me three viewing options. I really like it! The one thing I can’t figure out is how to modify a user profile after it’s been created. I made my first profile when I received the machine. Incline 1 and resistance 1. I’m wanting to modify those setting now but can’t seem to find a way. I know I could create a new user but am afraid I will loose all previous data (workouts)! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
