Altra IQ for Android
Update 3: App performed as promised. The audio cues to correct form were great! There's a small delay in the foot strike and info presented, which is expected. I usually don't run with my cell phone on, but the app makes it worth it. I can see a huge benefit to running on a treadmill where you can correct your form on the spot while being able to view the app interface. There was very little difference in the metrics the app presented vs. the ones available on my Garmin (cadence, landing time, etc.), which increases my confidence in both products. Altra continues to be on the cutting edge. This is a big step for runners! <---see what I did there? ;-) Update 2: App developer promptly reached out to me and promised to get things right on my end. Will update my review again as soon as possible. Update 1: App works and can sign up and login. App finds shoes (and shows them as connected), but doesn't give any feedback showing the metrics promised. Original review: Can't sign up or join. We've been promised this app for quite a while. I'm leaving my shoes in the box til this works.
Will not log in or create account.
Very annoyed that I spent so much money on these shoes and then there is no ability to use the app. Because it won't let me create an account. I've tied to login not using Facebook and still no luck.
Just got my shoes today and would love to use them but i cant join or create an account. When is this going work?

As other reviews mention. I was not able to create an account or sign in. You can do better Altra! Update: By downloading a different ifit app and creating an account there I was able to then go back to the IQ app and login. And to top it off the sensor in one of my shoes is dead (yes, I tried a new battery) so all of this work is for naught. UPDATE: I found out that the shoes I had were an early release "prototype", and were not intended to work with this app. The great folks at Altra were able to help me remedy this issue, and now I have working IQ shoes. I have used the app for two runs now, and the feedback seems to be fairly consistent. Some suggestions based on my limited use: 1) A setting to allow iFit to "duck" your background music when "coaching" speech is active (it's a little difficult to hear the voice over your music) 2) Some sort of "auto-pause" or "switch to walking" feature, so that your run data does not get "skewed" by your walking intervals (when applicable) Thanks again Altra!
