### 5/5 — Good

*2022-04-26*

Easy to use and accurate readings and complete information: fastest speed, average speed, distance travelled and calories used based on the weight you put in, this can be changed if you want to use a training vest.

### 1/5 — Leider Facebook…  fehlende Privacy

*2021-12-30*

Eigentlich eine schöne App. Nur leider wird das Thema Datenschutz nicht hinreichend beachtet, obwohl man damit punkten könnte. 

Obwohl in den Einstellungen Facebook deaktiviert ist, werden Verbindungen aufgebaut. Das lässt sich z.B. im App-Datenschutzbericht ab iOS 15 beobachten. 

Gleiches Spiel bei der App für das Fahrrad. :(

### 5/5 — Bonne application

*2021-10-01*

Facile d’accès et d’utilisation, affichage lisible et complet, rapidement utilisable. Petit plus : la pause automatique, ce qui évite d’oublier la réactivation de l’appli au moment de reprendre l’activité en cours. Exactement ce que je recherchais pour mes activités de marche et de randonnée. Je dis merci.

### 5/5 — Gut

### 4/5 — Bewertung

*2020-11-18*

Ich finde das die App sehrgut

### 4/5 — App startet leider sehr spät mit der Aufzeichnung

*2020-05-15*

Ich benutze ein älteres iPhone 6. Die ersten Male funktionierte die App sehr gut. Jetzt startet sie immer 5 Minuten zu spät und zeichnet deshalb nur etwa zwei Drittel meines Laufes auf. Ist das ein bekannter Fehler? Oder liegt es an meinem Telefon?
