V.O2: Running Coach

Works great for my training! My coach can just upload training, and I can follow it.

Me encanta la aplicación. Fácil manejo y todo claro.

Needs improvement

I am new to V.O2 but really enjoying it for the past month. It interfaces seamlessly with my Garmin watch. It’s easy to follow for running workouts, even complicated track workouts. I like the communication with my coach through the app.

If your a coach with many athletes the app is very difficult to use and not user friendly. I think it’s great for athletes. However there is a lot of bugs and issues, I feel like when I report them there is the idea that, “they don’t exist”. When in fact coaches use the app like clock work. Comments go disappearing, notifications appear then are disappear. Honestly, consider getting new developers and programmers, the app has potential but it’s lacking execution. It’s so many bugs that I would have to dedicate myself as a full time worker to send the screenshots of every little issue.

Love this app and its compatibility with the Garmin. I am easily able to transfer my Garmin information so that my coach can quickly see my results. The layers of information about my runs has been very helpful for me as well

The app is great. Don’t get me wrong. But there are a few serious issues that almost make me consider deleting the app entirely. CURRENT ISSUES 1) Garmin runs always sync to the most recent workout on the VO2 app. This means Garmin runs will sync to the wrong workouts and there’s no way of un-syncing them or syncing them to another workout. 2) There’s no way to duplicate workouts. This is incredibly tedious and time consuming. Particularly when you consider a long run from Garmin will wrongly sync to a speed/tempo track workout on VO2 (every single time) if you don’t have another workout listed before it. 3) There’s no way to create preset workouts. I like to have a level of flexibility in my workouts depending on how I feel and what my schedule will allot for. With no preset workouts, I’ll generally create a bunch of speed/tempo workouts and put them at advance dates so I can move them to where I need them as I see fit. The major problem here is Garmin wrongly syncs to these workouts if they’re up next. SOLUTIONS 1) Allow users to un-sync wrongly synced Garmin runs and if applicable sync them to the correct workout. 2) Allow users to duplicate workouts they’ve designed instead of having to re-input all the reps and so forth every single time. 3) Allow users to create preset workouts that they can input at any point. This and the previous solution would save so much time! If you fix these issues, this will be the best run planning workout app on the market. Thank you, David

This app is great, but it’s missing the ability to “search” notes by keywords. That would be a great added feature.

It worked fine for a while. Now it frequently stops uploading my workouts to the app after I complete the workout. I have to uninstall and reinstall the app then Reconnect the Apple Watch app. Now I have just tried once again to do this and now not even that is working.
