SOLE Fitness App 4+

This is one of the worst apps I have ever encountered, so much that I feel compelled to write this review.

While I’ve had some fairly large problems with the treadmill (squeaking, rattling, random slowdown), it has been stable but the app just makes the experience even worse. I was hoping for a good integration to share health data with some of my other apps but that doesn’t work. The app itself doesn’t seamlessly sync with the treadmill. Additionally, when it would connect, you get limited views and workouts similar to the display panel on the treadmill itself. This offers no insights, only letting you control very minimal aspects of the workout. I see no point in even using the app.

The connection, once made via Bluetooth would allow you to play music through the pathetic speakers provided by the Sole treadmill (F85). Unfortunately you can’t hear anything against the noise of the treadmill.

Perhaps the mode aberrant issue is when connecting the app, the treadmill seems to work at half speed. So says your running at 7.5mph but in actuality it slows to a fast walk -4mph.

Finally, the treadmill doesn’t share data with any other app, only this one which locks you into using approximations.

Very-very disappointing. Since clearly the company doesn’t show any care for its customers through proper investment, i would not recommend this app nor the equipment that pairs with it.

To address all the complaints, realize most are old reviews. Also, be able to tell the unrealistic rating system to a functional app that works very well with my sole E25.
1. The app connects easily to the elliptical every time.
2. The app tracks more info than the panel shows including rpm and graphs.
3. The app is simple to use with a lot of areas to cover to track your progress.
- I get no errors, no disconnects, no loss of exercise data, no issues after near ten uses. I use the heart rate monitor along with the app and play Bluetooth music all seemly through the device and even FaceTimed my gf while riding. So as far as I am concerned that if there are legitimate complaints I’d like to see their constructive criticism vs angry at the world review. App works as described.
(((Request))) I would love if they fleshed out the graphs to track independent data and entire data especially heart rate based on time and dates with ability to see more specific progress. Reason for it is my average heart rate is not my min and max nor my target heart rate data. As a therapist there is a tremendous amount of unused potential in the graphs. Hope you continue to grow this app as I am an everyday user.

The sole reason (see what I did there?) this App should exist is to move workout data to commonly used tracking apps. This app makes moving the data exceedingly difficult with a single obscure “happy path” to make it work (Caledar>list view>share button>pick your app). When you FINALLY figure out how to move the data all that happens is it tells the app of your choice that a workout occurred and for how long. No steps, no calories, no distance, no heart monitor data. As someone who makes a living in tech, this App is offensive to both users and developers. Everyone involved with this should feel shame. Sole’s app developer failed to recognize the issue they needed to solve and accordingly Sole has failed at respecting their users. It stinks, it’s putrid, and it fails miserably at the one thing it should do.
