1. 2/5Fixable

   This app paired with ENGO eyewear has brought about dramatic improvement in my 5K times, but it suffers from some serious shortcomings and computation errors. The best I can say for it is that it has great unrealized potential. The average rating of 2.2 stars is about right for the performance of this app as it stands today. The errors: When restarting from a pause, the app appears to use the last position before the pause as the new starting position. As a result, my first speed calculation after pause has been as high as 150km/h, and this severely impacts subsequent average speed calculations. It also makes the remainder of the plot less nuanced because it increases the scale of the plot. The post run parameter graphs don’t always appear. Normally, my speed and altitude plots are displayed when I save the data, but sometimes only the altitude plot showed up even though I had included both parameters in the eyewear display. The shortcomings: I would much prefer that the eyewear hand gesture be used to pause recording instead of switching between displays. I like to get exact elapsed times, and it is difficult and cumbersome to do this on the APP screen while running. Perhaps this could be made selectable so that people who want to use the hand gesture to scroll through screens won’t be inconvenienced. Make any data that is displayed on the screen available to plot. At present, I only get plots of speed and altitude after a run. I don’t get a heart rate plot or any other parameter plots which I would find very useful. Have a variable, selectable smoothing of the speed readout. Other devices I’ve had provide a moving average of a selectable number of speed samples. The instantaneous speed readout I have now is too noisy to be useful. Make all plotted data available for downloading or sharing. Presently only .gpx data is downloadable. Having all plotted parameters available for downloading would greatly increase the utility of this APP. I hope the programmers read this and make the app a better product.

2. 5/5Improved app makes a huge difference

   The latest app changes ActiveLook a lot, for the better. The new data field integration for Garmin still requires some attention to set up, but once it’s done, the connection is stable and the ability to customize your screens is huge. I set up screen 1 for hiit and screen two for recovery, and I can easily see just what I need to see while running. I didn’t expect it would make such a big difference, but using this app with Engo makes me more relaxed and confident because I don’t need to slow down all the time to check my wrist. Didn’t realize I was training with some low level anxiety- now it’s gone. This is an example of how a little thing makes a big difference.

3. 3/5Great when working properly

   I’m probably one of the early adopters of the ENGO 2. I’ve had them for years now. I use them for running and cycling. When they work, there’s one of the best pieces of tech out there. Not having to glance at my Apple Watch is a game changer. However, the Apple Watch is terrible. It loses connection often. Also, it may say connected and the timer will elapse but your run or event is not being recorded. I’ve lost distance and time due to having to start another recording session, etc. Very frustrating. Please fix the iPhone and Apple Watch app or let it work with other apps out there.

4. 1/5Unusable with poor support

   The Engo 2 glasses seem pretty good but - they need better shielding especially across the top to reduce distracting reflections - the Activelook module in your field of vision does impede your vision, you can sort of see ‘through’ it but it’s not great - they have no prescription lens option The app is extremely disappointing and makes the glasses largely unusable due to how fragile the app’s Bluetooth is. If a sensor temporarily disconnects, the App never recovers (eg if a sensor goes out of range or into sleep mode). So you end up with nothing to see in your HUD! Other times the app looses connection with the glasses and you’re stuck with a static HUD screen with outdated data, perhaps sometimes showing you the searching screen. A reboot of the app may help recover, but not something I’m willing to do in the middle of a serious workout. Sadly, these issues have been known to the developer for about a year but still they persist. The future is not very bright for this company.

5. 3/5Good but Not Great

   I have been using the Engo 2's for a couple of weeks now. There are lots of things to like about them. I really like the concept and had hoped they would be similar to my Form Goggles, which I love. First let me say that if you are of above average build I would go with the Engo 2's in large. I have also tried them in different lighting and had no issues seeing the information or the trails. I also had no issues with them sliding off my face even on a rough gravel ride. I want to like them. However, there are areas where the app and software needs improvement. Where I am having troubles are in a few key locations. The first is that I can not get it to connect to my Apple Watch Ultra. Support has acknowledged this issue and is working on a fix. This may also be the root of all my other issues, but until this is sorted, I will not know if it is or is not. The reason I think it is, is because if I can run the glasses through my watch then there should not be any latency and I can also set my hr monitor to my watch creating the integration I need. Another issue I found is I can not delete workouts. Every time I try I get a specific bug that then will not allow me to delete the information. I have even deleted the apps and reinstalled and gotten the same issues. My workouts push zero information to my Apple Health when it is coming from my phone. When using the run choice, my workout always starts at .01 miles and not zero. This did not happen today when I was using them on my bike with a bile workout. Yesterday in a hike, the glasses were showing .09 miles greater than my watch when they were both started at the same time I can not get my bluetooth hr monitor to connect from the phone. This is the most frustrating because I bought the glasses to help with heart rate training. The distances on the bike I think were close enough however the speeds were not always aligning. Sometimes they were going in opposite directions. I was riding my e-bike so the speed and distance on my phone were tied to the bike. Again this might be fixed with an update. This might also be because I am riding on a tire size they do not list. It would be nice to set up the screens from one device instead of having to do it on both my phone and my watch.
