Nice app but needs better sync!
Not great
Response from developer
Hi there, thank you for your feedback, and I am very sorry for the frustration. I want to sort this out as soon as possible for you. To track your treadmill runs correctly, please ensure the True VO2 Max app is installed directly on your Apple Watch. You will need to use our watch app to record your treadmill sessions instead of the native Apple Fitness app. If you are already doing this and it still is not working, please email us at truevo2max@gmail.com. To help us troubleshoot, please include your iPhone and Apple Watch models, along with screenshots of the Indoor Settings tab from the True VO2 Max app on your phone. We want to get this fixed for you right away.
Love the app!
Wanted to love it, but …
Original: … too rudimentary.
(1) Out on a run; aborted 5 minutes in. Deleted it from Health; that deletion flowed thru to all but this & 1 other app. (2) That other app has the standard delete feature, so I could remove the related data point. This app does not. (3) No *list* presenting the *dated* VO2Max readings. Instead, a chart, so you’re forced to play Tap City (tap dot to get specifics), repeatedly, to pull that history. //
Thankfully, I chose the monthly sub so I could inspect the entirety of the app. Result: canceled about 9 days in. Dev, great idea! Respectfully, you’ve missed too many basics. Please → tweak, polish, and indulge user testing. Then, you’d OWN the VO2Max space! (Still) Rooting for ya

Thank you for the thoughtful and candid feedback. You were absolutely right that these were important basics, and I took them seriously. In the latest update, we’ve addressed the issues you mentioned by adding session deletion, a dated list view of runs and VO₂ Max readings, and improvements to data handling and overall usability. We’ve also introduced several new features, including Indoor Treadmill VO₂ Max tracking, expanded chart views, and other quality-of-life improvements. We really appreciate you taking the time to share such constructive feedback, it helped us make the app better.

Not sure what this does
Response from developer
I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. Please note that True VO2 Max only pulls outdoor runs recorded after the app is installed, and it initially relies on Apple Health’s Cardio Fitness (VO₂ max) value for each run. If Apple Health didn’t record VO₂ for that workout, there’s nothing for the app to normalize and display. Please confirm VO₂ exists in Health → Cardio Fitness → Show All Data at the time of your run. If it’s missing, updating to the latest watchOS commonly resolves the Apple Watch→Health VO₂ sync issue. Then do a new outdoor run long enough for a VO₂ estimate (e.g 10 mins), and verify Health → Cardio Fitness → Data Sources & Access has the True VO2 Max app enabled to read data and your Watch listed as a data source. If you’d like, email truevo2max@gmail.com and I’ll troubleshoot with you.
