  • Excellente application

    J’utilise cette application depuis juillet 2013. Elle répond à presque tous mes besoins. J’y intègre mes plans d’entraînements personnalisés sur 12 ou 16 semaines et tout fonctionne très bien. Seul bémol, il n’y a aucune différence entre l’annonce de l’allure moyenne de l’entraînement et l’annonce de l’allure actuelle. Il serait approprié d’entendre l’allure réelle actuelle lors d’intervalles et non l’allure moyenne (ou du moins annoncer “allure moyenne “). De plus, avoir accès à l’application sur Watch pour avoir mon plan d’entraînement sans avoir son cellulaire sur soit serait parfait. Est-il possible de partager son plan d’entraînement complet à une autre personne qui possède l’application ?

    Merci d'être un utilisateur de longue date de notre application ! Pour l'annonce de votre rythme, l'application vous permet de choisir si vous voulez entendre votre rythme actuel ou votre rythme moyen dans chaque annonce. Si vous n'entendez que l'allure moyenne, vous devrez peut-être vérifier vos paramètres. Si vous avez besoin d'aide pour votre configuration, veuillez contacter support@abvio.com.
  • Best I’ve used

    I live in an area of limited cell service. Literally none in my driveway. Unlike others this running app does not require me to have cell signal to at least start and finish my run. Yes I do pay the optional small annual subscription $9.99 currently so I don’t have to wait for it to load advertisements, which it can’t do without a signal. The subscription also provides extra features such as automatically detecting a pause when I am waiting to cross a busy street or such. Unfortunately the indoor step detection is never even reasonably accurate despite advice on how to make it more so. But I only run indoors in a blizzard or squall so not that big of a deal.

    We appreciate your feedback and glad the app is working well for you without a cell signal. Just so you know, the step counting detection is actually coming directly from your phone. It provides your step count to the app. You might want to make sure that your step length measure is accurate for best results.
  • Great app with one flaw

    Have been using Runmeter for 5 years, very good tracker and love the easy to use history over time.

    Only flaw - it should be able to be used without the iPhone on the iWatch. It would be great to go on a run with the watch only, then sync up that run with the phone later. Not sure why this functionality isn’t available. Would love the developer to work on this.

  • Runmeter

    Bonjour à vous,
    L’application est vraiment amateur.
    Aucune intervalle à programmer, pas de résultat cardio.
    Application à repenser

    L'application comprend à la fois les intervalles et la surveillance du rythme cardiaque. Si vous avez des questions sur ces fonctionnalités, veuillez contacter support@abvio.com pour obtenir de l'aide.
  • Best running app and my favourite app overall

    Fantastic have been using this for 9 years and it has been consistently updated and improved. Fantastic and quick support. Highly customisable but works great out of the box. Can export to Stava and can track just about everything you would want. Beautiful interface. Love it.

    Thanks for the awesome review! And, thanks for being a long-time user of our app.
  • Inaccurate

    The same course can be +- 5% discrepancy in distance which over a 4 mile run is pretty poor as it’s messes up your pace figures. End up having to edit the figures for each run. And the verbal updates are hugely inaccurate, you’re 2 minutes ahead of best then half a mile later you’re behind median. Nice idea but it really doesn’t work.

  • Lots of potential

    First, they get 5 stars for support. I couldn’t get my Polar heart rate strap to work and I emailed them. Got a reply in less than 30 minutes, on a weekend, with a fix that worked. Pair it to the phone, not the watch.

    Unfortunately the heart rate does not update very often on the watch app. It seems to only work when the phone is unlocked. Beyond that, the app has tons of potential. Great stats for running and walking. However, the interface really needs some help. All the right info is there, but it’s not pleasant to look at or use. On the watch screens you have to scroll to see all the info. I also enjoyed the running plans, the interval training features, and the emailing of runs to let others know where I am.

    If the heart rate screen worked better on the watch I maybe would have paid the yearly fee. If it had that plus a better interface, it would be easy to pay for it. I’ll check back later to see how it develops.

    Glad to hear that our support team was able to help you to get your Polar HRM working with the app. Not sure what problem you encountered, but displaying heart rate will be constantly updated on your watch even when your iPhone is locked. We do appreciate your feedback on the app design. And just FYI, you can customize all of the watch screens in the app to display your own choices for statistics and pages.
  • Should you buy? It depends ...

    It is difficult to rate this app. I bought it due to the shameful lack of run apps that have a lap feature. In my excitement to purchase I neglected to see in the reviews - not in the description- that to use the Apple Watch you need to carry your phone. I bought the Apple Watch so I could run without a phone. So, if you are like me, this will be massively frustrating. (I’ve only used the app once because of this.)

    Lots of cool screens - if you can read them. The one time I was able to use the app I found it difficult to read all but one of the screens while in motion. No doubt they are slick to look at when you are sitting on your couch. Good luck trying to see data at a glance.

    This review does not cover any of the other notable features (e.g., plans) because I truly only wanted a GPS app with a lap feature I could use on my Apple Watch - again, without carrying my phone. I’ll keep looking for it.

    Thanks for leaving your candid feedback about your needs. As you noted, we do not have a standalone watch app at this time, but it is something we are considering for a future update.
  • Changed my review 👎🏽

    This used to be a 5 star review from me. My go to running app. These guys just don't get it anymore. Apple Watch support but you still have to bring the phone?!? Talk about a disconnect with your user base. Not only that, these guys have about zero customer support. I'm so sad I've moved on from this once great app. Just take a look at more recent reviews than the overall rating. Much more disappointment than in the earlier years.

    Update: Upped it to two stars ⭐️⭐️ The developer mentioned importing my info from the Apple Watch. Indeed you can, but you can only access that feature through a paywall, where other running apps just include this from your initial download. I did in fact pay to see if it works well and it does. I just wish I can use this app on my watch without my phone. If the developers can at least give us an update on the app and if they plan on working on a standalone app for the watch or even if it’s not in the cards.

    As you noted, our app doesn't have a stand-alone watch app. For those times when you need to record a run without your phone, you can record it using the Apple Workout app and then import it into our app later. As for our customer support, we are available to help 7 days a week at support@abvio.com. All you need to do is write to us if you need assistance.
  • Best running app going

    So pleased I’ve found this app. I’ve spent hours testing all the different running apps available and they are either totally lacking in features unless you pay a fee per month, or totally lacking in features full stop.

    Runmeter on the other hand is not only feature packed, but only requires a modest £9 per year to unlock everything. There are literally more features than you could ever wish for. Any stat you want any time during your run, the ability to trim excess run distances, custom during run display screens. Honestly everything you could possibly need, and you get a free 7 day elite trial, or you can just stick with the basic free version too.

    Stunning app!
