RunScribe Plus is a version of the [[RunScribe]] [[Running Sensors| Running Sensor]] that promises real time data. Unfortunately, RunScribe Plus was released well before development was complete, and I'd still consider it pre-production at best. You can follow the daily bug update at [http://community.runscribe.com/t/runscribe-plus-current-daily-status-bug-list/722/3]. I've stopped doing any serious testing until things settle down. My questions and concerns right now are:
+
RunScribe Plus is a version of the [[RunScribe]] [[Running Sensors| Running Sensor]] that promises real time data. I tested this extensively, even linking the data into my [[ActiveLook Smart Glasses]], but I never found the data to be useful or actionable.
* Will RunScribe Plus provide effective Ant+ communications to Garmin watches while preserving useful battery life?
 
* Will the data be responsive enough to be useful? The [[TgForce]] sensor is the epitome of real time feedback, giving you information each stride. I'm concerned that RunScribe Plus will need too much smoothing to give useful feedback.
 
* What will the accuracy be like as a [[Footpod]]? The [[Stryd]] footpod has always been amazingly accurate, while RunScribe Plus seems to be struggling with this seemingly basic feature.
 
* Will the [[Running Power Meters| Power Estimate]] be viable? Without the stunning pace accuracy that we see in [[Stryd]], the RunScribe Plus can't give a useful power estimate. And it's not clear that RunScribe Plus has an accurate barometer to estimate elevation (indications are it doesn't), so this may be a fatal flaw.

RunScribe Plus is a version of the RunScribe Running Sensor that promises real time data. I tested this extensively, even linking the data into my ActiveLook Smart Glasses, but I never found the data to be useful or actionable.
