CONNECT & CONTROL • Instant Bluetooth pairing — remembers your treadmill for next time • Adjust speed and incline directly from your phone • Export and import workouts and programs — share or back up your data SUPPORTED TREADMILLS • Built for FitShow. • FTMS-compatible treadmills are supported, but FTMS implementations vary by manufacturer. Some allow full control (speed, incline, start, stop) and rich data; some allow data only, with no control over the belt; some restrict third-party apps almost entirely. FTMS itself doesn't relay every metric — steps, for example, aren't part of it. We can't guarantee every FTMS treadmill will work — support depends entirely on what the manufacturer permits over Bluetooth. • Live compatibility list before you buy: https://treadmill-assistant.com/docs/compatibility/ • Treadmill not on the list?

Turn the iPhone sideways for landscape mode and read your numbers from a few steps away. Works with your treadmill The app speaks FTMS and many other Bluetooth protocols. A built-in catalog lists hundreds of treadmill models: search by brand or model, tap yours, connect. Not in the list? Add your treadmill. Pairing being stubborn? Step-by-step connection help is built in. Programs that run the belt for you Pick a program and the app changes speed and incline while you walk. • Japanese Walking: three minutes easy, three minutes brisk, repeat. Inspired by Japanese interval walking. • 12-3-30: a steady uphill walk based on the 12-3-30 trend. It starts at a lower incline and raises it session by session. On a flat treadmill it becomes a brisk flat walk. • Hill Walk: rolling hills. On a flat treadmill it turns into Speed Hills. • Desk Day Steps: a daily step goal for walking at a desk or on an under desk treadmill. • Easy Start: a gentle walk with a warm-up and a cool-down. Not sure where to start? Answer one question and get a plan: Easy Start for 1 week, Japanese Walking for 5 weeks, or Desk Day for 30 days. A plan calendar and reminders keep it on your schedule.

Heart rate zones run from Z1 Recovery, Z2 Easy and Z3 Tempo to Z4 Threshold and Z5 Max. Choose a target zone and Auto Speed changes the treadmill speed to keep you in it. After the workout you see how long you spent in each zone. What you see while you walk Time, distance, speed, pace, incline, steps, calories and heart rate. You choose what shows under the timer. Music controls sit right on the workout screen, so you do not have to leave the app to skip a song.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Treadmill Assistant at 5.0 against Treadmill Pro's 4.5. Treadmill Pro's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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 Assistant sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Treadmill Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Treadmill Assistant holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Treadmill Pro has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Treadmill Assistant ships an update every 3 weeks, Treadmill Pro weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
