### 5/5 — Less is more

*2014-04-23, version 1.3*

Great alternative to all the other running apps out there. Clean, minimalist apporach with  lots of attention to deisgn. Love that you can resume a run after you've saved it....great for when I run to meet friends for coffee and run home. Sharing with RunKeeper an added bonus. Check it out runners.

### 4/5 — Solid app

*2014-01-15*

All in all it's a solid app to use for running. I like that it's simple to use and easy to integrate onto my run keeper. Really looking forward to the next software update where I'll be able to add photos of my run.

### 5/5 — Really good for running!

*2013-10-17*

I was giving up on fitness apps but this 1 is tweaking it! It does interval training really well like it says, it takes splits better than anything! Very easy to use too - now please developers don't f$@# it up :)

### 5/5 — Clean layout - awesomeness

*2013-10-08, version 1.1*

This is a refreshing change from tha regular boring bunch of running / fitness apps!!! Now I can do splits wihtout using different apps - uploads to run keeper after and boom ur done!! I hope they can sync to Pebble soon, that is all :)

### 5/5 — Finally a training focused fitness app

*2013-09-12, version 1.0*

Easy to use, without all of that annoying social media crap attached to it. Awesome to use for interval repeats at the track.

### 5/5 — This app gets running!

*2013-09-11, version 1.0*

Expectations were low for this, because it looked a lot more minimal than most running apps. But the minimalist feel is refreshing! I use some other apps and they don't quite cut it for taking splits when doing interval training >_< Runkeepr upload is good too. compared to everything else this app is clean and unique. Going to be using this more - 'bird out
