Question Ranking
Pros
Pro iOS and Android
Available for both platforms.
Pro Shows you an overview of all trainings
The app will also show you an overview of all your trainings telling you how many calories you have burned in your workouts, how many trainings you have logged, how many Kilometers (or miles) you have ran and how many hours you have spent working out. It is, of course, also possible to go into all your previous workouts and look at all the exact details of every single one of them, if you would like.
Pro Syncs with Apple's health app
The app syncs well with apple health and you get all your logged activities and data transferred. It will even track the Nike Fuel points, but those will not sync over to Apple's health app because in there the Wahoo app can not be selected as a source.
Pro Everything is simple and easy
Everything about the app is simple and easy to use and set up. At the beginning it may take a few minutes to get yourself adjusted, but that is so with any other app as well. Once you get the hang of it, everything is very intuitive.
Pro Can select other heart rate monitors
I once had on my Wahoo Tickr X and a Basis Peek smartwatch and it gave me the option which of the HR-motiros I wanted to take the heart rate from. I never attempted to use the Basis as the Tickr is much more accurate, but I would assume it lets you use any BT HR-tracker that is around to connect. This may mean the app could also work without a Wahoo device, but I am not sure and it would certainly loose you a lot of the other PROs
Pro Can track workouts in the gym
The app does not only work for running or cycling outdoors, but also for running on a treadmill where it will also measure your distance and pace based on calculations it makes after you set it up and for indoor cycling (or spinning) where it will measure your cadence (but not distance) quite accurately. It will also let you track a weight lifting session and will then tell you about how many calories you burned. This is another feature not many other trackers have. Most of the functions will only work with their top of the line Tickr X for about USD 100, but the basics are also available with the base model.
Pro Workout Map
After an outdoor workout with a GPS-device the app shows you a map of your workout. This is nothing special and most apps do, but some don't and I enjoy seeing on the map where I ran.
Pro Accurate prognosis
Due to some sophisticated mathematical methods, the running prognosis is more accurate than the one from Garmin watches.
Pro Supporting a lot file activity file formats
File formats like .fitlog, *.slf, *.sml, *.pwx, *.zip, *.logbook, *.kml, *.tcx, *.logbook3, *.gpx, *.ttbin, *.kmz, *.fit, *.trk, *.xml, *.csv, *.hrm are supported.
Pro Automatic activity synchronisation from Garmin
You can connect your Garmin account directly with Runalyze to automatically sync all new activities.
Pro Great overview of training history
Configurable overview - You can choose what should be shown in the overview.
Pro Best for analyzing statistics
You can literally analize everything you want about your running or riding.
Pro Automatic synchronisation with Polar FLow
Sync all new activities directly from Polar Flow to RUNAYZE.
Pro Automatic synchronisation with Suunto App
Sync all new activities directly from Suunto App (Replacement of Movescount) to RUNAYZE.
Pro Track every equipment type
Track any equipment and link it with any activity, so that it can timely be replaced.
Pro Automatic synchronisation with Fitbit
Sync all new activities directly from Fitbit to RUNAYZE.
Pro Automatic synchronisation with Strava
Sync all new activities directly from Strava to RUNAYZE.
Cons
Con Many apps, slightly confusing
Wahoo offers several apps and in one case this can be confusing. This review is about the Wahoo Fitness app, but they also offer a similar one which is the Wahoo RunFit app and this does not track half of the stuff. I don't see why it even exists as it can only do less the the Fitness app. They offer several other apps as well which I have not looked at so far, but they do other things entirely as far as I could tell and thus do not create more confusion.
Con Relatively high buy in
You need a Wahoo product to use the app, the buy-in to get the app is relatively high starting at about USD 50 and going up very much higher depending on what equipment from them you choose. For some, it might well be worth the investment of USD 100 for the Tickr X, but it is surely not for everyone!
Con No app for smartphone
Unfortunately doesn't exist as an app for smartphone to analize statistics of activities.
Con No real community features yet
There are no community features like following another user. Every activity or profile can be shared. Every public profile can be followed by RSS feed.
