Grate app
I had a few running apps and so far this is the best one yet to get the basics information on or run like your calories the pace your speed your time and of course your distance you can join stuff like 10k challenge or walking challenge or even a challenge just to have consistency you can also choose and track when shoe you run is which is cool and it doesn’t have to be a ASICS shoe it can be new balance Nike Adidas puma whatever running shoe company there is and you can choose the exact shoe you have in the exact color I think this app has helped me run more than ever and and gave me the best motivation to run and I have used this ape for 8 days now in I have Been running every day ever since I downloaded it and made my account oh and you can earn badges like longest run and 5k 10k half a marathon or a full marathon but yea I didn’t take running serious until now and I started off with a mile a day now the last two days have been 2 miles and tomorrow I will run another two then I will try to do a 5k but there has been days were I didn’t felt like running and I think this app helped me to get the motivation to run and you should not need a app for that if you don’t want to run then go run but yea bet running app ever I highly recommend

Once great, now unusable
I’ve been using Runkeeper ever since I first started couch to 5K and through over a dozen half marathons. It has always been brilliant. Since my last phone upgrade a few months ago (from one iPhone to another) it has been behaving completely erratically, developing bizarre new bugs from one run to the next. I head out for a run not knowing if I’m actually going to be able to do the workout or the app’s just going to bark out all the prompts on top of each other, rendering it completely useless as a training aid.
Its latest development is announcing my distance at the start of each run (“zero point zero kilometres”) as well as the total number of hours I’ve EVER run - both good to know, thanks.
My settings haven’t changed, I’ve contacted support, deleted and reinstalled the app twice, including having to manually re-input all custom workouts which takes ages. I’ve finally, very sadly, had enough.

Too buggy
In general, I like the app and appreciate all its features. What I do find frustrating is that both the GPS tracking and the timer are buggy. GPS measured my Parkrun route perfectly at 5 km the first time and hasn't done it since. Today it shows me ending the workout well short of the finish line, although I definitely only stopped tracking afterward,
meaning the app thinks I only ran 4.6 km and all my times are off. It also gave me voice updates four times in a single minute for no clear reason. As for timing, the other day I did a 61-minute run, programmed into the app, and yet the final notification that I had finished the last segment didn't come until 61:12. That's just weird.
I'd ideally also like an option to have only some running segments count toward my final distance (e.g. for walking and running intervals) as well as a halfway notification for pre-programmed runs.
