FitShow: Treadmill Workout

doubtful rating

One of the few apps that tailors workouts to your specific treadmill and gradually makes walks harder, and that is why people stick with it. But it runs unstably: freezes, crashes, jams the picture sideways, fails to save workouts, and scenic routes cut out at 92 percent loading. It keeps dropping the Apple Watch heart-rate link and the sync with Apple Health and Fitbit.

About the rating

The gap between the 4.77 store average and the 2.81 text average is huge, with only 29 percent of text reviews at five stars. The five-star ones are short and generic like 'Love this', while the detailed reviews describe concrete failures: freezing, screen turning sideways, cutting out at 92 percent. Looks like the fives were harvested by a well-timed rate prompt.
