Title: Works for manual treadmill
Review: I just got it and used it once so it's too soon to say if I'll have the issues some others did. I'll update this if I change my mind but so far so good. It connected as a foot pod to my Garmin vivoactive, but the Garmin started behaving badly with it connected (weird heart rate readings and inconsistent reporting of speed). Based on experience I suspect that's the Garmin and I have more troubleshooting to do there, but just reporting for anyone wanting that. It works great with the peloton app and other Bluetooth apps. so far using the stickers worked fine attached to the bumpy rubber treads of my curved manual treadmill. It did not seem to mind the speed not being steady like with a motor, and I'm just ignoring the incline stuff. Tracked pretty well with the reported treadmill speed and my own sense of exertion.

Title: Indoor Game Changer
Review: I've had my treadmill for almost 2 years now and I had intended to get one of these back when I first got it. It never really mattered that much until I got a coach last year and then the inconsistency between the treadmill and outside was really making some of my training difficult to track properly. I considered getting a Stryd but the cost was really putting me off. Then my wife got serious about training for a half marathon we're running next year and I remembered this thing.All I can say is "Wow!". What a game changer! My treadmill runs slightly faster than what's on the display (5 - 10s per mile) and does that pretty consistently through every pace so its not hard to deal with for workouts. It was so easy to set up too. My only issue was the stickers just didn't really want to stick to the tread but that was easily solved with some dabs of superglue. Its amazing because it "just works". It shows up as a footpod on my Garmin 955 Solar and I can just go! All of my other metrics come from my HRM Pro. I'll be pairing it to my wife's 945 as well so she can benefit from it.Now I don't need to spend extra time trying to get my workout out of iFit and into TrainingPeaks so my coach can see it and its more accurate to boot!

Title: Not accurate, keeps disconnecting - not worth the money
Review: I liked this product at first although the accuracy was a slightly off. Now Iâm to the point of having to recalibrate every other run or walk on the tread because of the huge discrepancies. Iâve tried different apps to track my running to see if itâs just the one particular app, but all are showing the same inaccuracies. Anything over a 4.5 in speed drops connection constantly. My incline will jump all over the place without me even touching incline. Having to charge it and then get it set back up on the tread is a pain, takes multiple calibration to get it even remotely close to accurate. I wanted to like this product but it has been a big disappointment.

Title: Works with Peloton Treadmill App!!! - Update 3
Review: Very easy to set up and configure on a 10 year old Nordictrak 1750. The stickers didn't stay on the treadmill, but used with car touch up paint as the markers.It works well with the Peloton treadmill app - tracks the pace, but doesn't doest track incline it seems. It's not 100% accurate, but it's close enough and much better than my Apple Watch or Garmin.Update 3 - there were two sets of stickers in my kit. The first one (originals) were didn't stick too well. The second - Girard - tough to peel off from the backing, but sticks much better to the belt. Time will tell how lasting the adhesion will be. Kudos to the marketing team.

Title: I already own one that I paid for so I grabbed this one too
Review: These are great and work perfectly fine if you set it up correctly. I have TMs that don't have blue toothand these area bridge for those Treadmills that don't have blue tooth.Save thousands of $ by not having to buy a new TM with blue tooth, just add this and join the zwift community.Very easy to install .instructions are easy to understand too,really not much to it.I love this ,get it ,so worth it !

Title: Yes it worksâ¦if you use White Out
Review: This is a great tool but the stickers are useless. Itâs a comical joke they even think they will work.Either super glue or buy some white out. The paint works perfect. Oh and keep it charged.

Title: Pain in the butt to maintain, but works when it does
Review: Mount is flimsy, barely holds device.Mounting tape loses stickiness after a month so device barely holds on.Reflective tape sensors don't stay on at speed.Reflective tape sensors don't stay on overnight.For an entire day it didn't work at all and since there's no real interface aside from a pretty terrible app, I had no idea why. Magically started working the next day.But when you put 15 minutes into getting it working right and don't run too fast, it's great!Of course it didn't start really acting up until day ~35 and cannot be returned. Wish I'd have bought a footpod.

Review: I purchased this Runn treadmill sensor to use with my non smart Mobvoi treadmill. I subscribe to the Peloton+ app and wanted a way to accurately record my runs and workouts. Peloton now support FTMS Bluetooth sensors - this is one of those such sensors.The sensor is relatively small and fairly easy to attach and configure to a standard treadmill. Everything you need is in the box, including a sheet of reflective stickers which you must attach to the treadmill belt at intervals of around 18". In all, set up took me around 15 mins to complete. You then need to download an app to configure the device as out of the box it was widely incorrect especially when reporting the incline. My treadmill does not support incline so i set this to 0 in the setup app. There does not appear to be a way to disable this function, i am hoping that in a future update of the app you will be able to switch this off.Connecting the device to the Peloton app was simple and straight forward, you do this within the actual Peloton app. On my Android phone the Runn reported the correct statistics such as speed and pace directly into the screen overlay of the running workout. I was impressed! My partner however uses an iPhone and this is where our problems started. The stats from the Runn device only display on the IOS app if the device is in portrait mode, landscape mode results in all of the stats disappearing. After much research it appears that this is a fault with the actual Peloton app rather than the run device. Apparently Peloton released an app update for IOS in Feb to correct this, but it is still not working! This is super frustrating as using the device in portrait mode results in a tiny video playing. Hopefully Peloton will eventually release a fix for this issue.Now for the device itself, one problem i did experience with this device is that due to the fact the sensor has to stick out slightly over the running belt, both my partner and I found ourself kicking off the sensor on occasions - i suspect this is due to our treadmill being a narrow home treadmill. The 3M tape that holds the sensor bracket to the treadmill is not strong enough to keep it attached permanently. If you have a wider treadmill then this may not be a problem for you. Luckily despite us kicking off the sensor several times whilst running it does seem robust and has not yet broke!The reflective marking stickers have remained on the belt without issues, i note other reviewers have stated the come off, however i have not experienced this issue myself.In summary this is a great little device that makes a dum treadmill smart. If you have an android device and use the Peloton app then i would recommend this - however if you are using an iPhone/iPad then you may want to hang on until Peloton update their app to enable the FTMS function to work correctly.

Review: Great product and very quick and easy to set up. Trouble free running on the treadmill with Zwift. A lot more accurate than a foot pod and trouble free fast connection. Long battery life with easy recharge.
