### 5/5 — Well designed and comprehensive

*2022-06-20*

I have literally tested and used over 10 other popular apps. I have no idea why this isn’t in the top five ratings on Apple Store. This app is amazing get to the needs of a runner who wants a guided training system, with easy integrations into other systems. This app is better than anything in the market. Please add incline to the app!

### 5/5 — Age it’s missing age 65

*2022-03-14*

Missing age.   Didn’t see walking only running

### 1/5 — Canada

*2021-02-13*

Can’t use this great app because it won’t accept Canadian payment!  So very disappointed

### 5/5 — Best scenarios!

*2020-11-11*

Love this app....truly takes you there!

### 1/5 — Too busy with non essential data

*2020-04-13*

Half of the screen is filled with childish info. The cheers are very annoying. Not much here for a runner just interested in watching some scenery while running on a treadmill. The locations caught my eye but after that it’s all downhill.

**Developer response:** Cheers can be turned off in the settings. The data on the screen is to help users efficiently and easily complete the training. We will add more options in subsequent versions so that users can choose when to display and close .Thanks for your suggestion.

### 3/5 — Bluetooth with Apple Watch?

*2020-01-14*

What Bluetooth applications does this app work with to track strides and monitor heart rate? I have the Apple Watch and Fitbit and unfortunately, this app does not connect to it at this time.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your comment. This is a video about how to use a Bluetooth sensor:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8kaCSnItus 
About the strider sensor, app supports Stryd, Under Armor bluetooth shoes, etc.
About heart rate sensor, various bluetooth heart rate devices are supported

### 5/5 — The best race ever!

*2020-01-03*

This app gives a perfect atmosphere of group running where I feel myself a member of sport team! I tried a few apps for my treadmill exercise, but this one is the best! It works.
