Leave a Review Runmeter Running & Walking GPS
Good app, but with limitations
I have tried most of the running apps and I think this is the best. Telling you when you are ahead or behind for median/best/worst for that run is a great feature, although it does not work for one or two of my regular runs.
The main issue with the app is that it is limited by the GPS in the iPhone 3. It takes up to 5 mins to warm up, which is annoying. It gets a little more accurate when you take it out of the case and turn off wifi, but distances can still be out by up to 10% and it can go for 5 mins at a time without taking a distance/speed reading at all.
One improvement would be if it used the map of your run to recalculate the distance at the end of the run (or at least give you a second opinion) much like the mapmyrun web based tool. However, none of the other apps (even the mapmyrun app) do this and none of the competitors are any better on accuracy.
All in all a good app.Show less99balanced99
Excellent app
Switched to this after using other running apps and glad I did. Gps is accurate everything is on the phone and has features like live tracking and tts updates from FB and twitter. Stan out feature is the ability to race yourself. Epic.Magnazan
Get serious
I've come from a garmin 305 I love the runmetre feedback via earpiece which beats trying to read a display on a watch. Runmetre gps tracking is fast and reliable. A few upgrades in features would make runmetre a serious alternative training tool for recreational runners. Such as: ability to set target paces, capability to preset workouts with intervals, fartlek and speed sessions. Also to buy a heart rate monitoring device that gives instant feedback would make runmetre a powerful piece of equip for runners who want more than just average pace time and distance.Show lessWebbie77
my running mate
This is definitely a user friendly app. Top of the class for runners, walkers, hikers etc. I rave over the dynamics of it: splits, maps, pace, calories... so many goodies! and you can even email the run to yourself or friends while you are running; check out the street view in 'maps'. I really like the way it allows iPod and in coming calls too. I'd like to see a kilojoule option to calories in a future update? but that's not a criticism, just a suggestion, thanks heaps!!Show lesspeppercorn_mill
Solid performance
There are loads of running apps but this one takes the trophy. There is nothing like running a long run and then finding that somehow the app stopped recording all your hard work through some glitch or crash you don't get the buzz of seeing your achievement. No problems here a great simple uncluttered User experience and great storage of your hard earned running data.Show lessmarc withnall
Brilliant App
One the best and most polished apps I've come across in the app store.
Does everything it says and does it perfectly.
Interupt iPod mode is sensational and keeps you updated during your run so you know exactly how you're tracking against previous runs.
There are so many features built in that I have not yet explored but everything I have tried so far works perfectly.
A bargain at the price. Well done guys!Show lesssteevo57
Great app
So, i've never been inspired to write a review before, but runmeter is totally worth the buy. If you're nervous that your iPhone will get busted (like I was) don't be. Just start it up and put it away - everything runs perfectly by itself. The voice announcements are great and the fact ut doesn't use a lot of battery is fantastic. I went for 55mins eith music playing and didn't miss a beat. Get it nowShow lessidtao
The best running app at the moment (v2.0.9)
Over the past fortnight I've tried all the main running/GPS apps (Runmeter, RunKeeper and MapMyRun+) and have to say that this one works the best. Runmeter and RunKeeper are both good but at the moment Runmeter is a better bet because of a few things: 1. It's the only one where you can set a route and 'race' against your best previous time. 2. It's the only one where you can stop it and start it from the earphone controls (eliminating the all the fumbling around at the start of the run). 3. The GPS is more accurate. 4. The price is good. Main downside is it doesn't have a web interface that allows you to review the map of your run in more detail, or edit your run if there were inaccuracies in the GPS reading. Also there is only the ability to post on twitter, not facebook - if posting about runs is your thing. Overall, a great app that has really increased my motivation to run.Show lessMelbourneRunner
one of the best apps for sure
The stopwatch is keep stopping. But I guess it's because instead of using an earphone, I use the main bottom when I change I-pod songs during run. Is that correct? Anyone can answer?
Also If anyone know how to put on "CALORIES" on the stopwatch screenshot like the above's one? Mine's show as "ELEVATION" which I dont really care, wanna get rid of it and put the Calories on. I know we can see how much calories you burn WHEN you press "stop" and "Done" but would like to see during run as wellShow lessMeljap
Damned Good
I have paid for and trialled a number of apps to track my runs - and this is the standout. The GPS is reliable, it's voice announcements are well considered. It's comparatives and record keeping are also targeted and ideal for anyone wanting to monitor and measure change. Perhaps a nice online presence would be funky, but I work with the iPhone mainly anyway so not an issue. Great app.Show lessAJ_NZ
