This app rocks!
I’m brand new to running apps. And this is actually the first running app that I’ve ever used. I can’t imagine one being any better for me. I love the simple easy to use functions. The green and black color scheme Gives it kind of an old-school military feel. I run in a lot of areas with sketchy cell service and satellite blind spots but have never had an issue with this app tracking my run extremely accurately. I love how it gives me an update and pace at every mile. would highly recommend this for a beginner or experienced runner.Show lesstrail dogg
Great app for all
Dr. said need more exercise. Wife has been a runner for a while. Decided to start walking. Needed an easy app to track my mileage and time. At age 70 decided to enter a 5K fun jog/walk race. Have a friend who walks races and knows his time for a 5K. Was excited to see I could keep up with his time so we will be walking the race together. Only regret is that the first time I used it I carried it in my pants pocket and while walking the app stopped in the first mile and I had to reset and start over in the second mile. Now I just carry the phone in my hand until I buy an arm pouch for the phone.Show lessJerz Boy
Pace Not Correct
I have a 5 mile course which I used a landscape wheel to measure. Not to say it is totally accurate but it is pretty close if not consistent. I ask run tracker to provide pace every 1/4 mile. The GPS does not provide very good accuracy but then again, I really didn’t expect it to. However, what is truly a problem is in providing my pace. Given that computers should always do well at math .... for some reason this app can’t do the calculation correctly. I am 70 years old and “run” at about a 15 min to 11 min mile. The app provides a pace anywhere between 22 mins and 9 mins .... I don’t exercise anywhere close to the range. I don’t think the GPS inaccuracy has anything to do with the problem. I will keep looking for an app that provides pace more accurately.Show lessJhk49
Best running app out there.
So I am 14 year old runner that runs about 20-25 miles a week but sometimes more, but this app really suited me, the overall simplicity of this app made it really easy to track exactly when i did the run and all the details about it. there are no glitches with the app but there are a few things that would help make the app better. The first thing is that it would help a lot of we were able to save a certain route that we went on. it’s not a huge deal but would be very nice. The second thing that would be better is if when you stopped running for more then let’s say 5 seconds, (like at a stoplight or crossing the road), it should stop the timer or laser without having to go into the app and stopping the timer. because where i love it rains half of the year and when my phone screen is wet and my hands are numb in the cold, by the time i get into my phone and pause the workout i have to start running again. The last thing that would be better is if when you press start workout, it have a 10 second timer until the workout starts, so if there was a setting to adjust how much time it would take to start the workout it would be much appreciated. Over a great app tho and would recommend to any type of runner.Show lesswater wash
None Better. Period.
I walk up to the trail. Warm up, stretch, and now I’m ready to go. I pull out my phone. Unlock it and tap Map My Run or Nike or take your pick. Ugh. Not again. I’ve been logged out. So I spend the next 10 mins trying to log back in but it keeps giving me errors. There goes my routine! ... Not with this amazing app. I pull out my phone. Tap the app and hit run. That’s it. I’m off. None of that login bs like with the other apps. If you want an app that is ready when you are this is it. I know. I tried Map My Run and Nike...now I’m here!Show lessILVTOFU
Fantastic
I used a few of their other running apps over the years, and this one combines all of them together in a sleeker and more powerful interface. Actively updated, works really well. It’s so well done, and I haven’t even tried out the new meal plan section yet! Customer service is great too, just a really good company all around.
I do have one serious request for the developers: PLEASE add Apple Watch functionality! No need to add the whole giant app on the watch, just a simple watch interface for the individual run tracking and notifications. If I could have the helpful guidance of these perfectly designed workout plans without needing to carry my phone with me on my runs this would be a perfect app.Show lessTwerkstarr
Would be five stars with one improvement: recipes
I never write reviews but I wanted to address something that seems to be overlooked and would greatly improve the app in my opinion. For running, this app is five stars. It has always worked correctly, no glitches, and is exactly what I need. I purchased everything, all the running plans and the meal plans. My issue is with the recipes included with the meal plans. I love how you can choose what eating style you want (mine is Paleo) and you have meal plans set up for you. It’s pretty awesome and the food is really good. I made a smoky bacon chili recipe that my son said was the best he’s ever had. The problem is that the recipes just aren’t accurate. I made a baked salmon with honey Dijon and honey Dijon was nowhere to be found in the ingredients list, nor anything to make it with. I used a ready made honey Dijon I already had (not Paleo) and the recipe just didn’t come out right. I’m sure my improvisation was the reason. Today I looked up another salmon recipe that calls for oil but it is also nowhere in the ingredients list. No type and no amount whatsoever. I can guess how much or what to use, but fixing this issue would easily make this app five stars for me, especially since I purchased the lifetime option. It’s a little annoying when you grocery shop for your ingredients then are surprised in the middle of cooking dinner with an ingredient you don’t have. Thank you!Show lessJayaly42

Just got back into running. Was having a lot of difficulty maintaining pace, attitude, distance and enthusiasm. It is running, after all. The I found this app. The app encourages you to run faster, competing with yourself to improve your pace. The voice prompts automatically let you know the distance completed and avg pace/mile. You can control your favorite workout music through the app. It has really changed and improved the way I run. My pace, since the initial download three weeks ago, has increased from 16+ min per mile to 11.5 min per mile. I really like this app.Show lessTxInspector
Good but was better before update
Has lot of important features time distance calories. Works great for walking and running. Has feedback via a voice play back at select intervals. Lot something with the change in voice playback. Hard to see understand, was so much better before.
Edit- feedback voice has been corrected. App is very very good. And provides great feedback as you make your run. Only think missing is the current time. If that was added it would be perfect!Show lessshaneyusa
A simple, accurate, helpful app!
I first downloaded this app because... honestly, I just thought it was pretty! And thought that if the app seemed fun to open / look at, I might be more inclined to actually run.
This proved true! I started running with this app about a year ago and have used it ever since. I purchased a premium subscription for a few months while I did their Couch to 5k program and loved it. It was simple but effective, and now I run a 5k about once a week! For premium features, you can choose to pay $10/mo, or $40 dollars for a forever subscription.
I opted for the $10/mo as it motivated me to keep running and not get lazy about my practice. After I finished the 5k program I went back to the free version of the app, but would definitely consider going back if I found a program I was interested in.
Other pros:
- I like that you can close kilos / miles, and can control how often the voice updates you on your run.
- you’re not bombarded with information or ads
- simple, sleek, and well designed (I’ve posted a few pics on Instagram and I always have friends asking what app it is!)
Would recommend!Show lessPinapple Rose
