Treadmill Smart Speed

can use any treadmill and have fun on zwift. Please never change this app

I was hoping the app would allow me to send the correct pace from the treadmill to Workout rather than relying on the terrible gyro guestimator that Workout uses by default. This app doesn’t do that. Rather it lets you use your phone to display the bad pace data from the watch as though that would somehow be more helpful than the display on the treadmill. I guess if you had a treadmill with absolutely no display, it might be better than nothing. I have nothing to say about the broadcast to zwift functionality as I didn’t use that.

For $5 I’m now able to walk on Zwift! Do to mobility issues I find it very difficult to walk over 1 mph. This means normal trackers have not worked for me on Zwift. By being able to manually control to speed information transmited to Zwift I was able to get my avatar to slowly move around Watopia. This is huge for me. Thank you. If you have similar issues getting onto Zwift I highly recommend giving this a try.

I loaded the app on my iPhone 11 but it won’t enter the speed on Zwift. I was really looking forward to this as a solution but no matter what speed you set it to the reading on Zwift is 0.0. No real troubleshooting information either.

I set a speed of 2 in the app but my avatar in game shows 1.5. I’ve tried switching between imperial and metric but even when app and game both are set to miles the speeds are way off.

I am using a conventional treadmill and was searching for less expensive solution to track my run on Kinomap. Then I found this. This is a best affordable option. I suggest to make this app available in more countries including Japan.

I just downloaded this app, but when I try to connect to Zwift, it can’t find my phone to connect. I am using a Windows Surface Pro 3 and an iPhone 6S, which were not identified as restricted devices. If I can get this to work, I am sure that my rating would increase.....

I love running on Zwift and it has made an incredible impact on my running, but I get so frustrated with the footpod, and even the new treadmill attachment. They dramatically understate or overstate my speed, and get further and further off as the run goes on. I was actually going to buy a new smart treadmill so that I could get consistent numbers when I found this. That has been so helpful and saved me a ton of money.

Running this app on my phone, and the zwift on my macbook pro.. zwift will not recognize this. Says searching.

Ignore the bad reviews. This app works exactly like it’s supposed to. In spite of my glowing review here, I have no relationship with the developer. Since Zwift running is so underserved with decent hardware, I wish more people knew about this gem. For nearly everyone with an iPhone (and ideally, but not necessary) with an Apple Watch, this is all you need! Zwift’s (Milestone) foot pod is uselessly inaccurate for me and goes through 2032 batteries in ridiculously short order. Short of buying a $200 Stryd foot pod, I was frustrated. Don’t want the new Zwift hardware that attaches to your treadmill as I primarily run while on business travel and away from my bike. This app completely fixes the problem! Just use it to match the treadmill’s speed and it transmits this dotted over Bluetooth to Zwift. It pairs instantly, unlike most devices. If you don’t have an Apple Watch, just use the manual setting. If you do, select the Watch setting and then control via your watch. You can still set the treadmill speed manually on the watch by twirling the Digital Crown and then tapping on the speed number in the lower left. It will throw you off because it shows the speed as “7:0” instead of 7.0, but it works fine. When it turns green, it will send this speed to Zwift rather than the detected (and fairly low, if you’re me) speed from the Apple Watch. I’d love to help with some UI polish, but for $2 and no longer having to fuss with a foot pod, I’m all in! Now how do we get everyone else on Zwift running to know about this?
