Misleading on App Store
This app only functions on Apple Watch with the paid version. $13.99 yearly. Deleting app due to misleading information.PrairiePixel
Gorgeous and detailed, HR tracking utterly failed
Just took a test run with my Apple Watch and came home to find a flat line heart rate graph. I've used the Series 2 and now Series 3 watch for the past few years, with over a dozen apps, and never had a problem with reliable heart rate data so I'm confident it wasn't user error wearing the Watch wrong. I also can't find a support email address on the developer's website.
If you're not using this app with an Apple Watch it may be a good pick. You'll have to pay for Elite if you want to get your data out of Runmeter's silo, but the annual subscription is reasonably priced. The customization is great, far deeper than anything else I have used recently. Having cadence info is something a lot of apps skip.Show lessNoxD
Love this app... but...
I have been using this app for a few years and love the flexibility and detailed data is tracks. However, I do not want to rely on having my phone with me when I run. Unfortunately I will have to settle for a different app to use now that I will be relying on my Apple Watch 3 as my run tracker. Please make the changes needed to have this app stand alone with Apple Watch.Show lessKerry629
Terrific App
I’m getting back into running after many years off. I’ve tried all of the current crop of apps. Nothing is as flexible and configurable as this. Although the Apple Watch app is not “stand-alone” (bummer since I have an Apple Watch 3), the screens are beautiful and customizable. Audio cues are customizable.
In addition, the training plan is infinitely customizable. To be fair, it’s generic for say a 5k/10k and doesn’t have a “dynamic” component (where it’s modified every week) With others (mapmyrun, Runkeeper,) it’s surprisingly difficult to modify plans, switch a run from one day to another, etc....
I don’t know why this app isn’t more popular. As someone who has spent a bunch of time comparing the options ( including the premium versions) this was the best fit for me. Please pay the modest fee for the Elite version and continue to support it!Show lessRaypdx
Inaccurate to a fault
I don’t know why no one else has mentioned this yet, but the pace measurements are all over the map (literally and figuratively) in this app. I’ve been using this for a while and I’ve observed the following behaviors on a number of occasions:
1. It often stalls out and stops registering any change in time or distance
2. When it is working it often reports inaccurate information. For example, on a slight downgrade of a hill it reported that I was running a 5:30 pace, then on an equally slight upgrade it reported I was running a 10:00 pace. My pace was actually about the same on both hills. I’m not that fast, and I’m not that slow. At one point during my run it reported that my pace was 0:00 for about a quarter of a mile, at which point I turned it off and uninstalled it.Show lessMpschmitt
Incredible application
The combination of superb engineering and refined software is incredible for this app. Well worth every penny and more. The power features are kindly enabled with a subscription so the initial cost can be kept low.
The level of customization and flexibility to customize this app is far greater than i could ever use as a hiker, runner and cyclist. It complements Apple’s native apps and works incredible well with the watch.
The developer and user support is also exceptionally good.Show lessMike Bradshaw (bmike)
One of the best.
I'm using this app more than a year, is one of the best. Congratulation. Please make app stand alone for Apple Watch.azyl
Great Running App!
I’ve used Runmeter since 2011. Great app and extremely accurate on Marathon runs.
Also, great customer service - they were able to restore my data history when my phone shut down.Test350
The same app as Cyclemeter
It is a great app, but it is basically identical to Cyclemeter, only with different default settings. Do not buy if you already have Cyclemeter (or Walkmeter, apparently).BertheMorissot
Useless without Elite Upgrade
I've been a runmeter user since 2013 or earlier. I upgraded to Elite in 2014 when it was a reasonable $ 4.99. Then, in 2017 I STILL upgraded to Elite when the priced doubled to $9.99. It's actually a great app, but without the Elite upgrade, it's pretty useless (to me, anyway). Here's why. I went for my first outside run in 2018 and didn't notice my Elite upgrade expired last week. I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with my heart rate chest strap. It turns out you need ELITE to measure your heart rate. You're kidding right..? Nope. How about just measure your steps..? Still need Elite. I didn't take the time to detail everything you lose without ELITE but for me, if a running app can't track my heart rate or at least steps, I'll just switch back to my fitness band or use a HR watch with my chest strap.Show lessScott
