User reviews

Great project

Glad to see some smart person was able to make this project that could finally get my treadmill data where I want it. Only the second time I’ve flashed an ESP32 (required to bridge the treadmill and the app) but I had no issues!

Better than the original

OMG finally! I have been waiting for an treadmill step tracking solution that actually works. Lifespan came close but it was so annoying to have to sync every session!
