Tangram Smart Skipping Rope Rookie

Excellent Jump Rope - and worth the price for the digital functionality and ease of use.It’s not a weighted jump rope but the device has a very Apple style box and design.I was briefly confused about the moving of the battery from one handle to the other. One side is a stowage point for an extra (and the 1 provided). When moved to the actual battery compartment the device beeped awake and the Bluetooth set up on my iPad with the newer SmartRope app was pretty easy. Signed up with my email address, entered some details. In the settings can give it Apple Health permissions so it logs a Skipping workout and calories burned. All very neat and nifty in my opinion for £40!The device appears to turn off when not used but if I was storing for a while I’d move the battery out of the active handle to the stowage side for peace of mind that it would get turned on my an inadvertent movement.The main point of this device is that it can count your jumps and do so accurately. It does this very well. The SmartRope app which appears to be a newer option that they are migrating over to from their previous app is minimalist and perhaps in need of a little extra stability and polish to the UI elements but I feel this will likely come with time.The main thing for me is that the count and activity tracking works with Apple Health AND that this counting isn’t behind a paywall / subscription!You buy the device and that’s the expense over and done with. Excellent.Rope can be easily and securely adjusted. Handles are smooth and light weight. But this is exactly what I expected for the price - and the motivation I can for the the counting of my jumps is great. It seems to add them to a daily total which is fine - and there’s a vocal read out of the latest total archive in the last jump session you did.Comes with a small grey pouch and this is very compact, and easy to take with you on any trips etc.All round excellent and I was very surprised how so - given the average reviews it had in here when I decided to buy it.Not paid or sponsored to say anything here, just skipping with joy and this nice package for Jump Roping on iOS :)

Ease of use, works great with app on iPhone, has improved my skipping..

The jump rope accurately counts the skips and has good app connectivity (just make sure you are in WiFi range or it doesn't record the skips to your total).The rope only requires 1 BATTERY, which you swap easily from the dummy handle to the main handle that says 'rookie' on it. Don't listen to the reviews complaining about there being only 1 battery.The rope does tangle a bit but untangles easily enough upon skipping.I have used it everyday for a couple weeks and it has held up well.

Really happy with my smart skipping rope! I went for the blue one, it’s a lovely colour. Love how I can now track my skips from my phone and also use pre set interval training! Would recommend this skipping rope

Good piece of kit, love the interval training as it gives something to aim for - never been able to keep count in my head! The app is clean and easy to use, and is easy to setup.Knocked a star off because the rope is so easily tangled, you look away and it’s got a knot. Knocked a couple more stars off because when it came to changing the batteries I cannot get any other CR2032 battery to work in it. I’ve verified this with another Rookie rope which has the same issue.

Bought as a present. Bit pricey. I don’t know what’s so special about it! He was pleased though.

This rope is completely useless, it stays bent in the shape it came wrapped up, so when you jump it doesn’t straighten out so you just trip all the time. It’s useless, I wish I never bought it. Don’t buy it - better buy a leather one and count in your head :)

The concept is great but the rope itself is like a nasty washing line and twists all over the place. A leather skipping rope is much better. App works well . I got bored of it eventually.
