About

TreadPath

Features
Read full description

TreadPath is built for the treadmill. Your Apple Watch can't see the belt, so TreadPath lets you tell it the speed and incline, then calculates distance and active calories from them and your Health data, instead of estimating from arm swing. WORKOUT ON YOUR WRIST • Choose Walk or Run and the workout is saved to Health as an Indoor Walk or Indoor Run • Big, glanceable metrics: time, active calories, distance, heart rate and cadence • Change speed and incline mid-workout with the Digital Crown, each on its own screen • Heart rate zones with a live zone bar and time in each zone • Auto-pause when you stop moving, and auto-resume when you start again • Now Playing controls on the last screen for your music or podcasts • Switch between mph and km/h CONNECT YOUR TREADMILL • Works with Bluetooth treadmills that support the standard fitness machine profile • Speed and incline follow the treadmill live and lock while it is connected • If the connection drops, TreadPath unlocks and keeps your last speed and incline YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Workouts are saved to the Health app • No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics • The iPhone app shows your treadmill history, cadence and zone breakdown from Health Calorie and distance values are estimates based on the speed and incline you enter (or your treadmill reports) and your weight in Health. TreadPath is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Requires an Apple Watch and the Health app. A Bluetooth treadmill is optional.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: CastleFit at Free against TreadPath's $0.99. CastleFit also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). TreadPath's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
