Questions about Activ.run?

Yes. The core of both modes — GPS run tracking, pace, distance, heart-rate zones, and gym logging — is free, with no subscription wall.

The everyday features you train with are free. The app is new and the core is intentionally not gated; there's no premium tier required to track your runs and lifts.

No. Core running and gym tracking work without any subscription.

Yes — live pace and distance from GPS, plus Bluetooth heart-rate support with a five-zone breakdown.

Yes. Connect Garmin to pull in your runs, or import FIT files from any major brand.

Yes. Strava integration is supported so your existing history can come with you.

Yes — FIT files from Garmin, Coros, Suunto, and Wahoo all import through one pipeline.

Yes. Connect Polar in Integrations and your runs sync automatically — no manual export needed.

Runs from the last 30 days are imported once when you connect. New runs sync automatically going forward.

GPS route, heart rate, pace and splits, distance, duration, calories, cadence, and elevation — from each run's FIT file.

Yes. Log sets and reps in seconds, with automatic PR detection and full exercise history.

Yes. Add your own exercises and variations alongside the built-in library.

Yes. Previous performance stays visible, and volume and estimated 1RM trends show progress even when a top set stalls.

Your training data is yours. See the Privacy Policy for how data is handled.

Onboarding is minimal — you can start tracking quickly without a heavy setup process.

No. There's no setup wall between opening the app and logging your first run or set.

Yes. Activ.run is live on Google Play; iOS isn't available yet.

Health Connect supports GPS route data, but some watch brands — notably Samsung — choose not to sync it. This isn't an Activ.run bug; the data was never written to Health Connect by your watch. A direct integration (Polar, Garmin, or upcoming COROS) gives you full route maps.

Same reason: Health Connect has an elevation record type, but Samsung Health doesn't write to it. Garmin does sync elevation via Health Connect. For full elevation data from any brand, connect directly through Integrations.

Both Garmin and Samsung exclude cadence from what they send to Health Connect — Garmin explicitly, Samsung by omission. Cadence is available through direct Polar and Garmin integrations.

No — not through Health Connect or any integration. These data types don't exist in Health Connect's data model at all, so no vendor can expose them through it. This is a platform ceiling, not a vendor choice.

No. The gaps are caused by vendor decisions about what to sync to Health Connect, and in some cases by Health Connect's own data model not supporting certain metrics. Activ.run reads everything that's available.

Connect your watch brand directly — Polar and Garmin integrations are live, with COROS coming soon. Direct integrations bypass Health Connect entirely and pull data from the vendor's own API, including route, elevation, and cadence. See the full vendor breakdown in our Health Connect guide.
