  • Great App. Outstanding service

    Update (December 2017)
    This continues to be an excellent running app. I can program in my workouts, get audio cues and the developer was super responsive to questions.

    Just started using iSmoothRun and am really enjoying it. What I like about it:
    - Very easy to set up workouts, including intervals by distance or time
    - The Pebble app is awesome - I can see everything on my Pebble
    - Very responsive customer service
    - Logs all workouts (with everything you wanted to know, including some extras that you may not have thought of)
    - Integrates with numerous other programs; I use RunKeeper - so all my stuff is also on the web and I can review there.
    I am looking forward to my running improving as I am better able to plan and track my workouts.

  • Lots of features but inconsistent execution and poor support

    Disappointing. After reading a number of good things I gave it a shot and have been really underwhelmed. There is a lot of functionality, but much of it has not worked properly. The interface isn’t intuitive and the help/setup guide is severely lacking. Ive asked for help with my issues and the only time I got any response was when I followed up with multiple inquiries. Even then we never got the basic functionality to work and there was no real interest in getting things resolved.

    Look elsewhere. There are better options out there and the charge is not justified.

  • I WANT to love this app!

    But right now it’s just barely cutting it. The watch + iPhone setting just does NOT work. The watch app in watch only mode works as expected. Any time I try to start the watch + iPhone (from the watch) it just displays no info on the watch and the iPhone app sits at the start run screen. Don’t cut and paste your standard check your settings faq either. I’ve checked them all. Smashrun... I love your website but you might want to consider a “ymmv” statement when recommending this app right now.

    Update: I got the watch and iPhone app working together by starting the outside runs from the phone NOT the watch as shown in the faq. However, treadmill plus this app = fail. It constantly repeats stats, goes to auto pause when auto pause is disabled and doesn’t record the pace or distance correctly on a treadmill. The watch is recording the correct info and can be seen in the watch records. It’s the app.. right now it’s working ok for outside runs and that’s it. I’ll still use it over Nike’s nightmare though. It sad that the Apple Watch is such a running tool failure.

  • Great App!

    I have used this app for a few years. It is excellent! It has dropped one or two runs over the years, however they could have been a problem with my iPhone 6s or user error. It used to sync my runs to Nike+, however that seems to be broken. That is Nike+ not being friendly to other apps. This app has been solid. Love that I can export it to several other apps.

  • Great for intervals!

    I bought this app to make my own intervals. All the other interval apps were too basic for what I needed or required a monthly subscription. I was pleased to find an app that I only had to pay for once.

    It took me a hot minute to figure out how to set up the intervals but once you get the hang of it, it’s a breeze! I usually run with just my watch, and even with a series 1 it works wonderfully.

    My only complaint is that I have to “wake up” the watch screen fairly often to allow the workout “clock” to catch up… if that makes sense. It leaves off where the screen went blank and only catches up once you wake it up, meaning the interval ended 10 seconds ago but I didn’t know because it hadn’t caught up yet. Otherwise I have no complaints!

    I’d love to see this become an optional complication to add to my watch face too!

  • Works great on iPhone and Watch

    This is one of the best running app on iPhone and Watch. Customizable display on both devices, no gimmicks, no stealing your data. I’ve had some hiccups tracking shoe mileage (shoe miles not updating on watch, but they are correct on iPhone where data lives) but the app works quite well. And the developer is very responsive to questions/input.

  • Not Flawless, But Still the Greatest

    Lost ability to upload to Nike+, but it seems to be because Nike wants to be exclusive, in the bad way.

    I love that I can leave my phone at home and just use my watch, that I can integrate a Wahoo Tickr Run with the iSmoothRun app on my watch, and that I can use my Bluetooth headphones all at the same time. I also love that I can create custom workouts to follow as I go.

    It may be my misuse, but sometimes the Tickr Run syncing to the watch makes the iSmoothRun app not show distance, which makes it basically useless until I sync with my phone again to see how far I ran. Sometimes it seems to work and sometimes it doesn’t. I’m still troubleshooting.

  • Steady Eddie, only a couple of flaws

    I run Apple Watch only and have found this app to be the most consistent one. I was mainly using Strava, but found that it glitched from time to time. I have not had any glitches with this one yet. And then I can export my run to Strava, Runkeeper, etc. I wish Nike+ would open their API back up so I could export there. I am having a problem though trying to authenticate MapMyRun. When I try to login via Facebook, I get an error every time. The only other request for the watch app is a chance to put the watch in waterproof mode right from this app. You can do that in Strava.

  • The Best

    I had been wondering the past few weeks when iPhone X support would be coming, and then BAM—a big update hit today. New Siri-based audio, support for additional sensors using just the Apple Watch, iPhone X support, and much, much more. The best iOS cardio workout tracking app just keeping getting better, year after year. And this is a one-time purchase! I kinda feel bad getting this much value out of such a low cost. But this app is outstanding, and anyone on the fence about buying should just read all the great reviews.

  • Great App!

    My coach first recommended iSmoothRun to me because it integrates well with Training Peaks. I have continued using it because I love the ability to program my runs, and the accelerometer when the GPS doesn’t have signal (in tunnels, sometimes really deep forest trails with lots of cliffs, skyscrapers, etc.). I enjoy the data I can see as well. Programming shoes and keeping track of the miles is also invaluable to me. Keep working out the bugs. Thanks for the great app!
