This effectively moves beyond the company's traditional hardware focus to offer a more integrated digital experience. The Wahoo App introduces a three-tier subscription model—Base, which is included with compatible hardware, as well as Core for advanced metrics, and Pro for [personalized workout recommendations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workoutwave-ai-fitness-planner) and a comprehensive library. The Wahoo App also boasts new [running-specific capabilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sir-mo-farah) such as Three-Dimensional Pace (3DP), which profiles threshold, maximal aerobic, and anaerobic capacity in a manner analogous to the cycling-focused Four-Dimensional Power (4DP) system. It has expanded third-party compatibility through a recent integration with COROS.
