Your treadmill, on Zwift. Treadmill Smart Speed turns your iPhone into a Bluetooth running speed and incline sensor. Set the speed you are running on screen and your iPhone broadcasts it, exactly as a footpod would — so Zwift, and any other app that reads a running sensor, sees your treadmill. No footpod, no treadmill upgrade, no extra hardware. GETTING CONNECTED 1. Start pairing in Zwift. Open the pairing screen and choose the run speed sensor slot. 2. Look for this iPhone by its own name. The app cannot change how it appears — to change what Zwift shows, rename the phone in Settings › General › About › Name. 3. Wait for the pill to turn green. It reads Connected once a fitness app is receiving speed. Until then it reads Discoverable. BUILT TO BE READ MID-RUN The screen is made to be read at arm's length, in a dim room, while you are running. The speed being broadcast owns the display, and every control sits in the half a thumb reaches. • A large speed readout with your current pace beneath it • Plus and minus keys that step in 0.1 increments • Six presets you set to your own paces, one tap each • Incline, sent alongside speed • Metric or imperial, chosen separately for speed and for pace • Keeps broadcasting in the background, so glancing at another app does not drop the connection APPLE WATCH The Apple Watch app estimates your speed and cadence from your wrist and reads your heart rate, then streams them to your iPhone. Your iPhone broadcasts the speed, and your heart rate as a heart-rate sensor that Zwift can pair too. Your run is saved to Health as a workout. JUST RUN No app to send the speed to? Choose Just Run at the bottom of the speed source list and your iPhone records the run on its own. Set the speed to match the treadmill's console and run through a 3D park, as a man or a woman. Every kilometre or mile has a gate: run through it for your split, a tap and a burst of confetti. Each run is kept on your iPhone with its time, distance and pace. Match the distance to the treadmill's display afterwards, and export the run as a TCX file to share or save. The last 50 runs are kept, and you can delete any of them. IF YOU BOUGHT THE ORIGINAL APP It stays yours. Everything in this version is free for you, for ever — no subscription, nothing to restore. It is recognised automatically from your Apple Account, on any of your devices. FREE TO TRY Every feature is free for a 10-minute run, with an hour between free runs. When a free run ends, the speed sent drops to zero, and a Just Run run is saved up to that moment, until you unlock. Unlock forever is a one-time purchase with no subscription. Every run is then unlimited, and the unlock is shared with your family through Family Sharing. The price is shown before you buy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Favero Assioma at 4.9 against Treadmill Smart Speed's 3.3. Favero Assioma also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 24). Treadmill Smart Speed's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Treadmill Smart Speed sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Favero Assioma asks for nothing beyond the download.
Favero Assioma holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Favero Assioma has 1.6K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Favero Assioma's written reviews are positive against 53% of Treadmill Smart Speed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Favero Assioma ships an update every 3 weeks, Treadmill Smart Speed weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
