### 5/5 — Great Alternative to the Big Guys

*2026-08-03*

I downloaded this app after Des Linden’s recommendation on her podcast and I haven’t looked back. Easy to navigate, love the metrics, and syncs effortlessly with my Apple Watch. Strava and Garmin are fine, but if you want the feel of an actual coach on an app where you can message with a question or issue and get a response from a human almost immediately, this is for you! I can’t wait to see what these guys have planned for future enhancements!

### 5/5 — This app is sooo inclusive
