AFG Pro Fitness 4+

I’ve had my Horizon treadmill for about a year and this app is a huge pain. Most of these apps offer multiple types of programs, but I have never found any of those helpful. Across devices and apps, I prefer the “manual” setup. However unlike some others, this app does not allow me to save the “manual” program for using again and again. I have to set the speed, incline and time at every workout. And then it doesn’t always start, so my workout info is not gathered. Luckily, the Apple fitness indoor walk captures it even if this app doesn’t.

It also doesn’t work very well to see previous workouts. There isn’t a table or anything. We have to use “roller” selectors to get to the date and that won’t display properly if the phone is in “dark” mode. Have to change to “light” mode to see the selection.

I would love to have the ability to save a program and for to see a history table with the usual controls to sort the data by day or year or any of the values really. It should also display properly in “dark” mode.

The AFG Pro Fitness App is basically useless for us. It will not connect to more than one device. My fiancé cannot connect his phone prior to his workout while I am home because the treadmill automatically connects to my phone instead. I have to completely turn off my Bluetooth in order for him to connect, but even then all of the data saved on my app doesn’t communicate to his app once he is connected. Also, none of the toggle-style selections are visible on our phones to select birthday or dates.

Finally, having the app connected to the treadmill completely disengaged all manual functionality. So even if we wanted to just have one of our phones connected and the other user operate the machine manually, we can’t. So we ultimately just deleted the app from our phones and will use the treadmill manually. Rather disappointing.

The app does exactly as it states. It seems some people are expecting much more from various Bluetooth connections. I’m impressed with the app’s ability to connect, quick response to the changes with the treadmills. The app is very clear on what to do and offers a good variety of workouts as well as customization.

For those that want to use another Bluetooth connected app, such as Netflix, start the AFG Pro app and program what you want the treadmill to do. Start the treadmill, then pause it with the red “Stop” button on the treadmill. Connect your Netflix up, press the green “Start” button on the treadmill.

For the amount of features and hookups that the treadmill has, as well as a great app, this is a minor inconvenience. So minor that I don’t even look at it as being one.
