Minimally acceptable; requires subscription service

This is a barely minimal app that serves to send data from my treadmill to Lifespan’s branded version of the lackluster Interactive Health Partner service. The app is fine for that purpose. It sometimes takes a bit of fiddling to aquire a Bluetooth connection, usually a quit/relaunch of the app. I don’t find it takes much CPU type, nor that it uses Java as another reviewer has posted.

The app’s weakness is that it requires the service to use, and the service looks to be stuck in the 1990’s. Without the service (and a live internet connection), the app does nothing, thus can’t log treadmill data. The app (and thus the $1000 treadmill) would be infinitely more useful if it didn’t require the service. It should simply log data to the local hard drive, thus allowing the user to track data in Excel or Pages, or upload that data to some better service.
