Take negative reviews with a grain of salt.

First of off lets clear the scope. This is a review of an iphone app. Not a shopping experience at costco for a treadmill. I dont find it fair to ding an app because the company "might" a mistake with a treadmills advertisement or for all we know the buyer read it wrong. As for my ifit enabled treadmill the ifit software is installed on the treadmill itself it does not require a separate app on my phone to run. I wonder if these guys are just confused? In either case that is completely unrelated to this app which was specifically designed for working with the ifit wristbands.
Now on to the review.

I recently got the ifit vue to track my activity off the treadmill. Like some of the other reviews have stated, the app is a little bit clunky and missing some polish but its decent. I like the food catalog to help keep me in check. Especially when I can use bar codes to scan what Im eating and the app tells me if Im over doing it on sugar. I was shocked to find what I thought to be a healthy lunch turned out to be 73g of sugar. It will definitely help me make better choices and remove preconceived biases towards certain foods in the future.

The vue itself seems pretty accurate as well. (Just wish it had a heart rate monitor) The app also did a far better job at monitoring my sleep behavior than another app I had been using (which used my phones mic). This app recorded how long I actually was in bed versus the other app stops once the alarm is shut off.

As I said, I have a treadmill with ifit built in (and no there was no false advertising they clearly stated bluetooth was for chest heart rate straps only). Honestly, theres really no need to connect the band to your treadmill anyways. The band connects to your phone which connects to the cloud and the treadmill connects to your wifi which connects to the cloud so all the data is funneling in to the same place. This would only be an issue if:

A) the power is out which your treadmill wont work anyway. But as long as cellular networks are up your band and this app would still update.

B) Wi-Fi is out. Which is a result of faulty networking equipment. Again, band and app still work if cellular is up and running.

The app has some nice features (though I have seen a few quirks syncing the app with the band) but it would be nice to see more data trending capabilities in the future.
