This is working fine as of Nov 2024
The problems reported in earlier reviews about not working with Zwift appear to have been fixed - I bought it today and it works fine.
Life saver
can use any treadmill and have fun on zwift. Please never change this app
Doesn’t do what I want
I was hoping the app would allow me to send the correct pace from the treadmill to Workout rather than relying on the terrible gyro guestimator that Workout uses by default. This app doesn’t do that. Rather it lets you use your phone to display the bad pace data from the watch as though that would somehow be more helpful than the display on the treadmill. I guess if you had a treadmill with absolutely no display, it might be better than nothing. I have nothing to say about the broadcast to zwift functionality as I didn’t use that.

Dosent work
Just purchased dosent show up on my iPhone under Bluetooth on zwift as of 12/12/23 all devices currently upto date.
It Worked Great for me!
For $5 I’m now able to walk on Zwift!
Do to mobility issues I find it very difficult to walk over 1 mph. This means normal trackers have not worked for me on Zwift. By being able to manually control to speed information transmited to Zwift I was able to get my avatar to slowly move around Watopia. This is huge for me. Thank you.
If you have similar issues getting onto Zwift I highly recommend giving this a try.

Perfect solution to a frustrating problem
It’s little apps like this that still add value to the App Store experience. Small developers creating solutions that big companies overlook or don’t want to implement. Had a small issue understanding the setup process so contacted the developer who was only too happy to provide a detailed walkthrough which actually worked. It’s only a few dollars and provides a simple solution that would otherwise need expensive hardware purchase. Highly recommended

Zwift issue
Used to work fine for me with Zwift and that was very convenient. However it does not work anymore since a few days. I can pair the app in zwift but the speed is not detected so my character is not moving. Please fix it!
Top App!
Works great with Rouvy as well.
Has stopped working with zwift
This worked really well with zwift running but recently stopped. Maybe due to a zwift update?
Could be easier to use.
I can’t figure out how to change the speed defaults , so I need to and I guess I’ve just thrown away 7$ unless I can figure it out. This could be easier to use.
Stopped working
No longer controls Zwift , pilot for a paid app
Doesn’t work with new Zwift update
I loved this app so much, please update to work with the new update
Perfect
Works with zwift and gives me exact figures, perfect app
Doesn’t work
I loaded the app on my iPhone 11 but it won’t enter the speed on Zwift. I was really looking forward to this as a solution but no matter what speed you set it to the reading on Zwift is 0.0. No real troubleshooting information either.
Brilliant app and developer
I’m delightfully surprised how well this works and provides just what I need to interact with Zwift on a budget. I had some troubleshooting issues and the developer replied within the day and provided a solution.
Highly recommend!
Highly recommend!
Doesn’t really work
I had high hopes for this app, but it doesn’t deliver, at least not for me.
It transmits information very intermittently. Whether on the manual speed mode or the phone accelerometer mode, there is a hefty lag in updating the speed on Zwift. (I’ve tried with two different iPhones, and two different WiFi networks, and it makes no difference which I use.)
The phone accelerometer mode is largely useless: the speed recorded bears little relation to how the phone is actually moving.
(I don’t have an Apple Watch so can’t evaluate that mode.)
The most unforgivable element, though, is the disclaimer, which has to be tapped away every time you try to change modes. Since you may be putting the phone in your pocket or otherwise turning off the screen while running with it, this means you are constantly tapping through the disclaimer. This certainly raises your heart rate but not in a healthy way.
Nintendo did this perfectly with the jogging element of Wii Fit. Put the controller in your pocket and the on-screen character matches your running speed quite adequately. Why is it that, fourteen years on, it seems to be impossible to replicate this simplicity and reliability with Zwift or anything else?

Very welcome low cost alternative to footpod
This is a simple and limited app, but it gets a 5 star review for filling a glaring gap for a low cost cadence option for Zwift. Kudos also to the developer for providing very helpful and friendly email support.
Tip on connection - make sure to turn on motion access for the app in iPhone settings: privacy/health and fitness/motion or it won’t register movement in armband mode.

Useless
Armband doesn’t work
Does not transfer right speee
I set a speed of 2 in the app but my avatar in game shows 1.5. I’ve tried switching between imperial and metric but even when app and game both are set to miles the speeds are way off.
Great! Works with Kinomap!
I am using a conventional treadmill and was searching for less expensive solution to track my run on Kinomap.
Then I found this. This is a best affordable option.
I suggest to make this app available in more countries including Japan.
