Leave a Review Runmeter Running & Walking GPS
Mileage is off
I have used and loved this app for YEARS and recently, my mileage is off for every run. The shorter run, I don’t really notice. For my recent half, it was over by 1/2 mile. It then impacts your average pace that it’s telling you in your ear which for this same race, it was off by 30 seconds - which is a lot. Today I ran 6.5 miles and again, it was off. So disappointing Bc it’s been my go to running app for so long :( I only gave it 3 stars bc of how long I’ve been using it.Show lessdisappointed_runner
Problems constantly
Runmeter is the most advanced running app. But if you do anything with your phone or watch other than Runmeter you’ll have some problems. If you like music on your runs, fahgetaboutit. It just doesn’t work as intended nor ever consistently.
Simply put, I’ve been working with Runmeter for 6 years now. Two years ago I gave up exclusive use and stopped depending on my running mates to forward me their workouts for correction. It just never really worked.
Since growing up and getting a Garmin device, I can at least use that and still use Runmeter to compare. I like that Elite will log weather data. But when your running app doesn’t do anything but the tertiary Wx logs, it isn’t really a “run meter” at all.
I’d say 4 years of hard work to make this thing work is enough.
If you just run and just use your phone to run Runmeter, *maybe* your mileage will vary. Good luck. You’ve been warned.Show lessrandallstone
AIRPLANE MODE
Please adapt this app to be able to function in airplane mode (AM)! Winter is coming and our phone battery energy gets zapped within a few short minutes because of the cold. Also, for the fact that people forget or don't have time to charge their phone before or after they go out to run, allowing the gps to effectively work on AM would be a huge convenience. I love this app BUT since the Nike running app uses this feature, I'll be using that app until this app gets up to date. :)Show less1StarRunner
Excellent for serious runners
One of the most comprehensive apps i have used. Might require the user to invest some time to get the most of it but the sheer flexibility and functionality is amazing. Runmeter became my go to running app and i use it in parallel to Apple’s Workout. Well done.Inakira7
Great App - Just needs to be freed from phone
I love this app on my iPhone. I just wish I could use it on my Apple Watch 3 without carryover no my phone along. I would love an app that allows me to set up a workout on my phone, upload the planned workout to my watch, then run the workout with just the watch, leaving the phone at home and sync the data back to the phone when I’m done. When you can give me that I’ll have 5 stars waiting😁.Show less2THDRB
Good app, but persistent issue with Music
I’ve used the app for years, and while I really enjoy it, it seems to have a persistent issue with the iphone music app. The Runmeter will usually stop working correctly if one starts fiddling around with the music app during a run. I have, in the past, notified the developer of the issue. They did respond quickly and request data from my phone to help them identify the issue. The did acknowledge an issue after reviewing that data. However, they requested further data/access from my phone that I was not comfortable sharing, nor did I have the incentive to get into a project with them. So the problem persists. Having said that, everything else about Runmeter is pretty goodShow lessIrrate Buyer
Flakey with iwatch
You will have to have some paitence to make it work with iwatch. There are sequence of operation issues. I had to uninstall three times before I got it to work and not crash my watch
I have been using elite for over a year now. I have had my Iwatch replaced three times for various issues such as failed touch screen. If you want an accurate heart rate monitor look somewhere else. If you want something that every once in awhile tells you An accurate heart rate after pushing a bunch of buttons and resetting things for the first couple of miles , then this is your device!Show lessAssfghjttu
Watch App That Wont Work With Out The Phone Along For The Ride.
I had high hopes for this App as I have used a version of it various times through the years. That being said I got this App and upgraded to the elite. I thought it was going to be great until I went on my first run and was dumbfounded as to why my stats would not appear on my watch. I then quickly realized that like before in the past you had to find some way to lug your phone around with you to make this App work. Needless to say I was very disappointed. What is the point of making this App for the Apple Watch if it can't work independently??? Can the developers please get on untethering this App because it has some super legit features I just don't want to carry my phone.Show lessWeeezzzzy24
Seriously the best
For an iPhone user there is nothing better (can't speak to Watch usage). The UI is very intuitive but also highly customizable. Lots of data if you want it, and easy to analyze your race visually or share with friends via online explorer. Distance measurement appears to be dead-on whether I compare to Google Maps or an officially-measured road race course. Uploads to Strava are seamless. Love that you can track the mileage on your shoes!Show lessMom32013
