  • Great app, possible chance for increased trial conversions

    Hello, this is a wonderful app. I appreciate the positive encouragement that is paced out to not interrupt your inner thoughts but still present enough to keep you engaged if your mind does start to wonder from your goals.

    I would like to see this app thrive, I find when I am faced with an honest representation of the product I am much more likely to convert a free trial or even subscribe outright. I feel this app could better facilitate the honest representation by combining the pop up about workouts being more effective when given a plan, with the pop up that offers the trial. I understand separating the two has clear marketing value, but I believe the straight forward representation of the product followed by its clear and easy ability to be used are all this app needs to catch your eye and sink the hook.

    It just seemed too tacky or almost blatantly monetarily organized to have the two juxtapose each other in back to back pop ups

  • Very Helpful

    Giving this a 5 star review must mean it’s great. For me anyways. I just started running and this app is perfect for beginners and anybody in general. It lets you customize things to make it fit how experienced you are so it’s not too hard but not too easy. It can help you focus on your breathing which is a big important part, It tells you things every once and a while so you don’t have to keep stopping while you run to check your phone. Like when to run, and when to slow down to walk and breathe. What’s great is it is compatible with music so it can talk while you are listening to your music. This app tracks how many miles you ran, calories you have burned, your pace, and more and you don’t have to pay a dollar. There are lots more things for diets and recipes for people looking to lose weight. The tips it gives me is making me more skilled through my journey. Thanks so much!

  • Fun while it lasted

    I’m so sad about having to find a new app. I’ve used this running app for almost 5 years and it helped me accomplish things I didn’t think I ever could. A few months ago I had a technical problem and found that there was no longer any customer service. Just an email saying “we are busy”. Literally an email busy signal. Lol. Then started up last week again and it’s total garbage. They changed the voice to some horrible sounding bot. But worse of all if they deleted all running plans, except for 3. There used to be literally dozens of plans. The highest level of training is a 10k. Must be a proprietary issue or they just got bought out and trashed (gotta love capitalism). Canceled by yearly subscription which I paid for because it was great. Do not purchase. They are done.

  • I hate this update

    I have used this app for a little over a year now. Before the update, I would have given it 5 stars; I could just turn it on, run, and not worry about it again until my run was over. Now, after the update, it lags and takes forever to update the mileage so it tracks mileage completely different than it did before. For example, I run the same route in the mornings and before the update, it would count as 1.5 miles. The new update shows I run anywhere from .5 miles to .7 miles. I have taken into consideration that it could very well be more accurately tracked now than it was before, but the fact that it takes forever to update the mileage is what concerns me. My other issue with this new update is that as soon as I reach “1 mile” it turns off and stops tracking my run which drives me absolutely insane because I don’t want to worry about a stupid app the entire time I’m running. I am BEYOND frustrated with this useless update.

  • Worth the extra mile

    I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how effect and helpful this app has been while I’ve been running and training. The quality of information I’ve received from going individual runs has been not only accurate but really handy! The only thing is that by paying for monthly or annual access you can use even more tools the app provides that would make it EVEN better! All in all, I’ve really enjoyed this program and suggest it to runners training for improved cardio skills in any sport really!

  • Prettiest run tracker!

    It didn’t work well when I first got it way back in It didn’t work well when I first got it way back in 2016 or 2017, but now it is just purrs along beautifully! It is the best looking run tracker I have seen 2016 or 2017, but now it is just the first few months, but then failed to complete It didn’t work well when I first got it way back in 2016 or 2017, but now it is just my runs with me. It would stop working anywhere from less than a tenth of a mile into the run to almost 6 miles. It generally stopped recording at less than a mile. Why do I still use it when it fails so regularly? It has a beautiful screen layout and lists the previous runs very nicely. Unfortunately I had gone to the trouble of adding my lifetime runs, so that more than 30 years of runs were stored in the app. Perhaps that led to its problems, but I speculated my 16 GB iPhone 6plus was the culprit, and replaced it with an 11 pro max with 512GB of memory. The app still fails to record an entire run. So, I start an UnderArmor run tracking app (it has not failed yet!) simultaneously with Fitness22’s Run Tracker and edit the true run from UnderArmor into the Run Tracker, and so maintain an up to date running log in the beautiful app. I had contacted Fitness22 about its failure, but without resolution. Perhaps a bad review will help them address the issues I am encountering!

  • Simple navigation/very convenient

    I’ve installed and uninstalled this app many times through the years I can say it’s very easy to navigate and it’s a wonderful service without a subscription. I can see distance ran and even the trail I took. You can track time as well as avg pace which is more than I can ask for from a FREE app. Compatible with your music and keeps you posted on distance as your running. All in all it’s a very user friendly app and I enjoy using it. I’ve never written a review before but this service was pleasant enough for me to take a few minutes out of my day. Recommend for those who just want to track their time and distance. I can’t speak for the subscriptions but so far it’s been very pleasant.

  • Great app but I’d like to be able to create a profile

    I’ve been using this app for years. I actually like it better than any of the other apps I use/have used, but my only issue is (and forgive me if this is possible and I just don’t know how to do it) I would like to create a profile. This is the third phone I’ve had where I’ve used this app and each time I get a new phone, my run history is gone. The other apps I use, I create a profile and all my runs are stored to the profile. When I get a new phone, I sign into my profile on the other apps and there are my previous runs!

    This app is great. I just wish the run history wasn’t so temporary.

    Edit: at some point, they made the split timer part of the premium content. I’m lowering my rating from 4/5 to 3/5. If they would offer the split timer as its own content for like $1-2/month, I’d get it. I don’t need the other premium features, but I would like that.

  • I thought I would like it..

    I used this app around the neighborhood and that worked out just fine but not when I go to the gym! This is a HUGE LET DOWN. Other apps will allow you to select what method of cardio you are using ( walking in place-tredmill, running-treadmill, walking/running-path, stair stepper, elliptical etc),
    So when I was done on the treadmill at the gym I expected to see 2.44 miles (power walked and jogged) but instead I got 1.34 and the route showed green and red all over the parking lot ? It did allow me to go in and edit the mileage I completed which is good but the fact that it was inaccurate during my walk and run regardless of where I did it is very puzzling to me. I’m hoping this can be fixed really soon.

  • Great app except one flaw

    I love this app and use the free version everyday. The one thing I don’t like about it is when I finish and the final average pace is said in my ear after I pause it sometimes adds another second and I have to go back in and edit it which is a pain. Not only that but when you go to change it to what it should be it never registers and takes another second off and I have to go back to edit and do one second up from what I wanted it to be to get it to subtract one and make it correct. (Example: avg pace 9:08 in my ear after pausing, it logs as 9:09, edit to 9:08 and it makes it 9:07, edit again to 9:09 and it makes it the correct 9:08). Absolute pain!
