Latest version - 10196 - does exact opposite of release notes
Stunningly buggy. Crashes. Won’t find HR sensor. Sits and flickers in the device tab. Drains iPhone rapidly. Complete junk.
Hard to use
Not intuitive. Maybe because it tries to be all things. I just wanted a cardio tracker and distance and rate record for my runs. Could never get it to work. I would start out but then it would reset without reason. Never could I see a days workout. Moved on to iCardio. Seems better so far
Required external watch
I’m writing this review to warn others on this apps poor UI & connection ability. I have both the WahooKickr 5 & a Garmin watch. For those who do not have a watch that’s able to connect to the indoor trainer, the app constantly crashes for rides over an hour long losing all progress. Even when the app works correctly UI/UX is janky at the best with poor latency. Wahoo does offer a ‘recover ride’ feature when this happens but it takes so long to process (upwards of 20 minutes) it’s easier to just delete the ride and start a new one since all features of the indoor trainer are locked during this recovery period. I would seriously not recommend this app &/or the WahooKickr unless you are able to save training data elsewhere.
Friendly people terrible app
First the positive: when I have contacted support, people have been friendly and helpful. Everything else about this app is bad. I use this app with their Tckr Run heart rate monitor. The app frequently crashes, sometimes multiple times in the same workout. On several occasions, I have run down a street, turned 90° onto the intersecting street and continued on my way. The app tracked my run as if it were the hypotenuse of a right triangle rather than a 90° turn. The map shows me cutting through peoples' yards, houses, swimming pools in a perfectly straight line. The Tckr HRM is also unreliable, even if I put water or conductivity gel on the pads of the chest strap before my run. More often than not, if I increase pace, the HRM will spike to 30 or 40 beats higher than my maximum heart rate and then stay impossibly high for several minutes. Bad data is worse than no data and this app has loads of bad data. Screen size on a phone is OK for quick glances at single run data, but for useful analysis for a week, month, or season-long run history it really helps to be able to access the data online via a computer and full-sized monitor. That is impossible with this app. The feature is simply unavailable. I did install the app on my iPad and the larger screen on the iPad did help somewhat, right up to the time the app refused to load. Even after deleting the app, rebooting, and reinstalling, the app simply won't load. Out of frustration, I've ordered the Polar H10 and will use a different tracking app. Save yourself lots of time and aggravation and use something else.
Unreliable and regretting buying the hrm
When I fit the Tickr several months ago, the app was simple—open, see heart rate, record a workout. Now I lose at least one workout a week (which just happened and prompted a review), and I have to tap through to see heart rate. The main tab is basically adverts. I just wanted a simple heart rate monitor, not a lifestyle experience.
Infuriating Audio Glitch
App queues a “Workout started” sound clip and halves the volume of audio apps after pressing the start button, but it takes 5-10 MINUTES from pressing the button to play the sound clip and return your audio app volume to normal. Often I just turn up the volume after pressing start and wait for the inevitable blast at a random point later in my workout. Really infuriating if I’m in the middle of a movement or on the row machine and have to stop and adjust the volume again. Edit: on reading other reviews, I agree the app also randomly stops tracking workouts. I was willing to think this was somehow user error on my part, but given others’ experiences I’m leaning towards software malfunction.
App keeps pausing the workout
Several times, while on walks of from 2 to 5 miles, I get home to find that the App has paused itself about the 1.5 miles point and I’ve lost the remainder of my workout. This is with a WaHoo chest sensor running on an iPhone 8. I get home and go to stop and save the workout only to get a message asking if I want to restore the workout. I’m losing miles of my workouts. Sensor is still broadcasting and the App is simply shutting itself down. Can’t rely on this system the way it’s currently working. !
