First time Using a tracking app

At first I didn’t realize you had to zoom out to see your entire route when finished. I also wish there was a Pause for when you are paused at an intersection. I am only walking at this time but hope to get use to this before I am able to start running. I di wish that when you save the images, it is just one and not two separate ones to show the route and statistics

Won’t reset to zero.

Every time I open the app, the mileage is already at a certain amount, like .4 or 1.15, so you can’t start at zero. It still happens even after I close out of the app completely. There is also no help available on the app to find out how to reset it. Disappointed.
If they fixed this bug, it would be great.

So good!

It looks so simple. It gives you a map of where you are. You can even play music! It also lets you make a profile and requires no payments! Omg it’s so good!

Measurements way off scale

Terrible app I’m 12 and appently I ran 15 miles in only 1.17 min, that would mean I beat the half marathon world record by over 20 min. Do not recommend

Hello user, We have checked on the issue that our reported and we didn't found the same issue on our side while checking, might happen due to some sensor malfunction. Please try to use it again and let us know. Thank you for your feedback!

Subscription required now?

I loved this app in the past, but it seems now I have to subscribe to get even basic functionality? I’m not sure when this changed (I had to take a break from running), but here is the gist of my experience over the last couple of weeks.

1. Start app and wait for it to find my location.
2. After a couple minutes, the app throws a “something went wrong” error.
3. Dismiss error and it finds my location.
4. Ready to run! I press “Start”
5. A full screen ad appears asking me to subscribe. I can either subscribe or dismiss the ad.
6. Dismiss the ad. I’m at the map with my location but it is not tracking my run.

Before, I was at least able to get extremely basic functionality for free, which I was more than happy with. I’m even fine looking at an ad. But they have everything locked down and behind a pay wall is a nonstarter for me. Especially since the subscription is on the pricey side.

Regarding the errors, I have done the basic troubleshooting steps of deleting and reinstalling the app, making sure iOS is up-to-date, and restarting my phone.

Hello User, We know that you are facing the issue with the paid features of our app. But to make it available for all we have made it single payment for lifetime access and that too with least of the prices.

Great app for basic distance tracking

If you just need something to track distance then get this app. It’s right to the point

Yes it is a good app but after a certain amount of time it would ask you to pay for the app

Thank you for the feedback sir. But to maintain the app's performance we need to pay the developers and also you can compare the prices with the other apps.

I forgot to charge my apple watch and i run 2-3 miles every morning. The only way I track it is by my watch so i’m glad i found this app. I love even more that it tracks my calories. Its not like other apps where if you stop moving it keeps going so it feels inaccurate. It also lets me add my apple music playlist for my run. It lets you lock the app so you can do other stuff without resetting.
