User Reviews

Users praise V.O2 for its ease of use, solid Garmin syncing, and coaching-centric features that let coaches upload workouts and athletes follow plans. The main drawbacks are Garmin sync reliability and the removal of a native Apple Watch app, which disrupts some workflows. Some reviewers also report bugs and stability issues affecting usage. Overall, it’s a strong tool for running coaching and athlete training, but has notable integration and platform gaps to address.

Pros

Easy to use and understand with a simple, no-fuss interface.
Excellent Garmin integration for seamless syncing and data transfer.
Robust coaching features: coaches can upload workouts, track progress, calendar integration, and personalized paces.
Strong support experience with responsive customer service.

Cons

Garmin sync issues: workouts can sync to the wrong entry or fail to un-sync, causing confusion.
Removal of the native Apple Watch app / limited Apple Watch support, affecting some users’ workflow.
Noted bugs and reliability concerns (e.g., occasional unstable behavior affecting coaching/workflow).

Recent reviews

The app syncs with Garmin automatically, which sounds convenient — until the data is wrong and you can’t fix it. Once a workout syncs, there’s no way to edit the distance or any other field. This is a serious issue for treadmill runs, where the watch distance is frequently inaccurate since there’s no GPS. For runners in hot climates, treadmill runs aren’t occasional — they’re a regular part of training, especially in summer. Locking in wrong mileage with no way to correct it makes the training log unreliable. A basic edit function for synced activities is needed.
