By far the best running app
This is simply the best running app of them all. For starters, its simple, beautiful and just works great & accurately, every time. It doesn’t ask me for my email or facebook account like all the others do. The app itself is really gorgeous, and very simple to use. I just hit the start button and everything is automatic. It’s not overloaded with silly features no one needs, like the other apps are. The distance and pace tracking is very accurate, and I could very easily change the display to have it show me what I want in a really large font so I could actually see it really well while I was running (with the phone on my armband its not easy if its not large) I like seeing distance and pace first, but they also have calories, time, etc. At the end of the run they have their splits section which lets me see how fast I ran each section of my run, and their map is color coded so I can easily see the speed of each part of my run. I also love their heart rate zone display - really professional way of showing where I strained the most. They also have advanced running programs which look really cool, and I will probably buy their weight-loss plan soon. Last point, the way they let me share my run to facebook is really funny and cool (and they don’t ask for my account, they let ME post). Well done guys. Love it.Show lessLiveHappy70
So easy to use
Kudos to the app designers here! My goal was to get a free distance log tracker so I could prepare for a 5K. It allows you to toggle the primary (largest) screen to track by xx like distance, and two smaller secondary screens for other measurements (time, pace, etc). There’s a voice over that tells you when you get to each mile - super motivating bc I don’t run often and my goal was 3.1mi. Not sure how to set to display / toggle btw miles and km, that would be something I’d like to be easier to find or added. Love it overall and successfully reached my goal of 5K.Show lessHope3102
Seriously, best running app ever.
I’ve been running for the past couple years and this app so far has been the best running app I’ve used so far. It has everything I need, as a runner I look for apps that include calorie tracking, miles, time and distance tracking! I’m being honest here and must say that this app has everything a runner needs. Everything is perfect about this app! I wish I could give it more then five stars!! The only thing I would say to fix for the future is being able to see my running progress! Overall, this app is great!!!Show lessHelloPrincess💎💕
Best app for new/pro runners
I don’t really write reviews in general but i enjoy how easy and straight to the point this app provides. I just started out running with my friend and we love this app. You can track your time and miles when running/walking. I signed up for the 7 day free trial to see what’s different vs just using the app. My friend and I picked the coach to 5k. While I’m running I want to focus on running and not check my phone. This app provides a voice that tells you when to warm up/cool down, start running, slow down, and how much time is left and distance you’ve achieved. I’ll definitely continue running with the app and continue on with the program once the 7 days are up.
If you want to start working out I definitely recommend trying this app out.Show lessalmoo
Great app but have suggestions for improvements
I’ve been using Run Tracker for about 3 months and have been basically happy with the app. There are a few things that bother me.
The pause button is so small relative to the Start Run button. Usually, I am running when the pause button needs to be touched, and standing still when the Start Run button needs to be touched. I’d like to see some of the real estate for the Start Run button be used to make the pause button larger.
The small green text on the black background can be difficult to see in the bright sunlight. I suspect that the developers are young people and don’t really understand the needs of their elders.
I’d like to know the accuracy of the average speed. If I run 5K at 10.5 kph, what is the standard deviation for this statistic. If my average speed the next day is 10.6 kph, have I really run faster or is this just normal variation in the statistic, maybe due to the inaccuracies of the GPS.
The current speed seems to be wildly erratic. I don’t bother with this statistic.
Still, I’d recommend Run Tracker.Show lessRunning Over the Hill
Good Free App
I use the free app to monitor my pace and distance during the run, and review the run afterwards. Based on apps I have used, the pace is pretty sensitive, meaning it detects bursts or slow downs pretty quickly. That could be good or bad, depending on your needs.
I am kind of used to using a watch along known routes, so I use this for marking off road or other unknown distance routes, then I know where I should be by overall time.
It has some cool features when reviewing your run. One I like is if you tap the map, it will zoom in and give you distances and the color of the line will give you an idea of your relative pace along the way. I’m sure all of us feel those times we tough it out, it’s kind of interesting to see it on a map.Show lessFast Eddie Lomax
Best Looking
I’ve been using a lot of Running apps and I gotta say this is the best looking very easy to use and I love the share feature which has different ways you can share your run mine is the maps showing where I run and gives you and option to snap a photo of yourself in all your sweaty glory and and you can send Via iMessage. I do that for my wife so she know I really did run. I love that the app works with the activity app on iPhone and Apple Watch to better share your activity and paired that with a calorie counter or food log like well add your calories burned to your total net calories. Give it a shot use it for a couple of days if your casual runner the Free version is great, if your someone that wants to improve on running and want to know weather you Anaerobic or aerobic than your gonna want the premium which is what I have. Give it a shot you might fall in love. Just wish there was an Apple Watch versionShow lessCameronParadox
... but it can’t track distance
Had the app for maybe 2 months. Run in the same place consistently. Tracker worked fine in the beginning. Then after I’d declined the paid version multiple times it simply wouldn’t track location so you couldn’t see the distance, only duration. Deleting and reinstalling app would make the GPS work for maybe a workout or two, then it would drop all connectivity again. This wasn’t a connectivity issue as google maps would know where you were while this app would say no connectivity, and the app had previously had no trouble in the exact same route, and would have no trouble when first reinstalled. Without ability to track distance, app is useless/basically an annoying stop watch. Don’t download, giant waste of time/source of frustration. If I could give zero stars I would.Show lessHistoryPodcastJunky
Solid Running App
I really do like this app. It is the best running app I have used. Everything is simple and straightforward. Setting are easy to change from the workout screen info to the feedback info. I like the layout of the workout history too. There has never been any confusion about how to use this app! The only issue I have noticed is I need to start this app a good 15 seconds or so before I start my run. This allows the app time to sync with the GPS on my iPhone. If I start the app and start running right away it won’t record anything but time elapsed. Not a big deal to wait a few seconds but something to be aware of. The only reason I didn’t give this four stars is for two things. First it doesn’t record elevation change. I am a trail runner so elevation change is something that is important to me. I hope a future update to this app will include elevation changes. Also, I wish I could start/stop/pause this app through the lock screen. Right now I have to keep my iPhone on all the time while running so that I can have easy access to the controls of the app. This runs my battery down.Show lessAutumn"s Owner
Awesome app!
Awesome app, plans are laid out very nicely and the 8-week 3 day a week couch to 5k program is amazing!! One of my best friends recommended this app after another friend recommended it, so I’m paying it forward and recommending it to anyone and everyone else!! It did have a slight problem when I accidentally closed the app to change a song, it stopped the workout completely and made me either start the workout all over again or record it as is with incomplete details. That needs to be fixed ASAP. Otherwise, awesome appShow lessTigerEye714
