Vor allem das Intervalltraining ist genau was für mich. Ich werde es mal länger ausprobieren und hoffe natürlich, dass noch mehr Workouts kommen. Momentan sind es etwas wenig, damit sich das Jahresabo wirklich lohnt. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die Bewertung. Ich hoffe, schon bald weitere Workouts und Programme hinzufügen zu können. ### 4/5 — Love the app but have a couple things I would like implemented *2025-04-13* The app is great and has helped me a lot as someone who used to run a lot 20 years ago and is now trying to lose weight and get back into shape at 40years old. There a a couple things that would make it even better. It would be great if the timer didn’t pause when you switch to a different app. If I switch to check an email or to change my podcast during the walk phase the timer stops. Second it would be great if at the end of the workout you could type in notes when you enter the miles,cal,distance. For example I had trouble moving past the 3min run 3 min walk. It took me a few extra workouts to bump up to the 4min run cycle, but I was able to add in an extra set of 3/3 during that time. It would be great to make a note of that on the summery page rather than having to track that in a different app. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review and feedback, I really appreciate it and I will see what I can do. ### 5/5 — Super Teil - für jede:n was dabei *2024-09-29* Sehr individuell nutzbar. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die Bewertung! ### 5/5 — Great so far *2024-09-08, version 14.8* Only just downloaded the app, so far so good. Used it while using my home city sport treadmill. Great first workout. Wish there was a way to link the app to the city sport treadmill but probably impossible. As it would be super to have it change the speed for me during a run. But as I say I think that’s impossible with the limits of the treadmill itself anyway. ### 5/5 — Great app for planned treadmill workouts *2024-09-07* Exactly what i was looking for. A structured treadmill workout customized to what you’re trying to accomplish health wise. Definitely recommend! **Developer response:** I'm so happy you like it, thank you! ### 5/5 — Smart and simple *2024-08-24* Easy to use with basic effective functions **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! ### 5/5 — One of a kind *2024-08-05* This is the only app I would suggest for anyone strictly running on treadmill. Great programs and easy to follow interface! **Developer response:** Amazing, thank you for the review! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-08-02* This make makes running on the treadmill more fun and engaging. It takes the drag of working out. Would recommend to friends and family. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for such kind words! ### 5/5 — Great app for planned treadmill workouts *2024-07-30* Exactly what i was looking for. A structured treadmill workout customized to what you’re trying to accomplish health wise. Definitely recommend! **Developer response:** I'm so happy you like it, thank you! ### 5/5 — Fab app *2024-07-25, version 14.0* Love this app never ran in my life I’m doing the beginner build up and I am starting to run now getting there slowly but surely withought this app I was hopeless… recommend this app ### 5/5 — I already love it! *2024-07-20* Was looking for some guidance on treadmill workout and this popped up just in time. First time using it and I know I’m going to love it. No more just mindlessly walking on the treadmill without a plan. **Developer response:** Amazing, I hope you keep enjoying and thank you for the review! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Kein Walkingpad *2026-05-28* Das Ding heißt Laufband, aber man kann weder ein Laufband noch ein Walkingpad hinzufügen oder verbinden. Total verwirrend. ### 1/5 — RIP OFF *2026-02-26* Trial period is bull they charge you right away. I trial period. The developer contacted about having seven days to cancel. I canceled on my iPhone. It still went through. **Developer response:** Hi, I do offer a 7 day trial for any one to try the app. You can cancel your trial at any point through the App Store. ### 1/5 — 7 day free trial is a scam and will be charged annually automatically and will not refund *2026-01-16* I signed up for a seven day free trial. Even my App Store confirmation said seven day free trial and charged annual fee after. I wasn’t given free trial and was automatically charge the annual fee. Again, I confirmed that it was a free trial before confirming my purchase. Disputed twice through app and it said it wasn’t eligible for a refund, even after explaining the situation. I explored the premium features for five minutes and realized it didn’t work for me because its programs are tailored for people who are training to be runners. ### 1/5 — Makes me go through the setup process over and over *2025-12-12, version 18.1* I have to go back and reselect a plan every time I open the damn thing. There’s also only an option to sign in with your Apple account not another email address. Deleting and looking for another app. ### 1/5 — The app does not open without a plan *2025-10-02, version 17.6* The app is asking to choose a plan that can be canceled later when I did not even see what it can do. Weird. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-07-07, version 16.6* It does not work, I had to put it in the us system and I put +5 mph and took it to 11mph ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-08-28, version 14.7* I downloaded this about 6 times and it crashed each time, well tbh it doesn’t even open! Disappointing cos it looked just what I was looking for ### 2/5 — Not bad *2024-08-24* Pros Interface is simple Cons Lots, but conclusion not worth paying so much for a lifetime or monthly or weekly membership Hope the developers take steps to improve the app to the membership worth **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. I am actively working on this app to keep improving it, so I hope you'll consider coming back in the future. ### 2/5 — Can’t leave app *2024-01-26* I tried it and had to immediately delete when realizing that all progress is paused unless the phone is unlocked and on the app. I can’t keep my phone on one app while away from the office. And to come back to it to see that all running accomplished while out of the app was “for nothing” was a huge disappointment. I’d love to redownload if this could get fixed! It’s just a timer at the end of the day, it SHOULD be able to run in the background like my other fitness apps **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, I understand your frustration. I'm going to see what I can do to improve upon this. ### 3/5 — Basic but good *2024-12-30, version 15.3* Very basic app but does what it says. Some helpful things during the workouts would be for it to say what is coming up so you can set your treadmill incline etc. Also greater variation in workouts would be good. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-03-06* Just what I was looking for. Great design! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — I’m a beginner *2026-01-26* I like that this app has an ability for me to create my own workout routine. **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — User friendly *2026-01-23, version 18.1* I love this treadmill,neat and compact and very smart! Thanks ### 5/5 — Treadmill Running *2025-12-30, version 18.1* It’s really good since even the free features are very good unlike other apps and you can still listen to your music whilst using it! ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-10-21* Muito bom **Developer response:** Obrigado! ### 5/5 — Walk /Run *2025-09-10, version 17.5* Good stuff ### 5/5 — Amazingly easy to use, manage and document workouts‼️❣️ *2025-06-24* Please RUN don’t walk to download this app‼️ **Developer response:** Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Just what I’ve been looking for *2025-06-18, version 16.4* Perfect for structuring my treadmill sessions. Nice clear interface, lots of different workouts. I have to keep fit for work and I’m terrible at following routines. This app really helps work towards my goals. ### 5/5 — Expensive but worth it! *2024-11-04, version 15.0* Love everything about this app! ### 5/5 — Best app for treadmill! *2024-11-01* I highly recommend this app!
