I wanted to check back in to see if there were any updates. The app is really slow right now and buggy when using Google pixel phones. It frequently freezes and occasionally restarts itself bringing you back to the login screen. I think the tensor chip hasn't been playing well with some apps that haven't been optimised for it yet. At the moment this app is unusable for me. I run the latest firmware on a pixel 7. I was a premium member in 2021 and used a s20 back then.

I came back to this app to see if it had improved for the Google Pixel. It hasnt. It won't allow to connect to my Garmin as it always encounters an error during the log on stage when authorizing. It always signs me out also. Can't start and use the app as most other. Always have to manually log in. Great potential and still used some of the videos but cant use the app as intended. It also doesnt have a function to delete my account.

I have tried this app and it's plans/coaching for over a year now and it has not been a good experience. other than the terrible bugs it has, the coaching is non existent and the plans are cookie cutter and uneventful. both races I trained for using this app have left me not feeling confident in my preparation. the "weekly" coaching is more like every other month coaching and it is generic check ins that don't recieve responses for weeks at a time. unimpressed and unhelpful with this app.
