### 1/5 — Records when it decides to.

*2026-08-20*

The only part this app recorded on my first run after buying it was the time of my run it completely missed the first 1.5 mile, disappointing.

### 4/5 — Can’t get it to sync to Apple Watch

*2025-09-07*

I used to like this app very much but recently, recently it will not sync to my Apple Watch so that I can get the pulse. Interestingly, there are times where I can get the auto pause to work and other times it doesn’t.

### 2/5 — neue Anzeige nicht gut

*2024-06-08*

seit dem letzten Update auf 4.17(51) mit der neuen Aufteilung der Anzeigen funktioniert die kontinuierliche Anzeige der (berechneten) verbrauchten Kalorien nicht mehr; die eigentliche Berechnung scheint hingegen zu funktionieren

### 5/5 — Preis Leistung unübertroffen

*2024-03-12*

Ich hatte mich lange umgesehen, diese hier getestet, gekauft, nie bereut. Die App ist übersichtlich, nicht aufgebläht, zeigt alles was ich brauche und wenn es mal Bugs gab, wurden sie zeitnah gefixed. Bin immer noch begeistert. (einziger Wermutstropfen ist dieses Grün, ist aber auch fast ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal ;-)

### 4/5 — Eine nicht aufgeblähte App

*2022-08-25*

Moin,

das ist eine nicht aufgeblähte gut funktionierende App. Sie tut was sie soll.
Eins ist mir jedoch aufgefallen. Heute hat sie die Strecke nicht aufgezeichnet, sondern nur die Zeit lief. 
Der einzige Unterschied zu sonst war, dass mein Datenvolumen verbraucht ist und die Verbindung nur gedrosselt läuft. Somit meine Vermutung: kann es sein, dass die App Apple Karten benutzt um die Entfernung oder andere Dinge auszurechnen? Weil, Karten wurde ja wahrscheinlich nicht aktualisiert wegen der fehlenden Mobildatenbandbreite. Wenn dem so ist, wäre das schade, dass die App nicht offline fähig ist.

Viele Grüße

### 1/5 — What is going on?

*2021-12-08*

Just downloaded the walk/run version and paid.   First time used, the historical path skipped a lot of turns and showed two straight path sections, “as a crow flies” if you will. 

Will try again and see what happens.

### 1/5 — Distanz stimmt nicht.

*2021-02-27*

Da läuft man 6,25 km und die App zeigt nur 3 km an. Schrecke aufzeichnen klappt auch nicht. Ein langer Strich auf der Karte. Es war aber ein Rundlauf. Und ich habe mir auch noch das Paket für 7€ gekauft. Bin begeistert.

**Developer response:** Die Aufnahme der Strecke und der Distanz sind immer abhängig von der Qualität des GPS Signals, und dies war in deinem Fall offensichtlich sehr schlecht. Ich kann dir versichern, dass diese Features und normalen Umständen einwandfrei funktionieren.

### 4/5 — A value purchase

*2020-10-10*

The price is right, not a subscription which is important to me. Gives me most of the data I want and all that I need. The sounds work well to start and check off the miles.

### 1/5 — Übertragene Daten stimmen nicht

*2020-07-25*

Habe mir zuerst die Basic-Version heruntergeladen zum testen.  Laufdaten (Rundenzeiten und gelaufene Kilometer) haben gepasst. Danach habe ich mir die Vollversion zugelegt. Leider stimmen die Rundenzeiten als auch die gelaufenen Kilometer überhaupt nicht.

### 5/5 — Gefällt mir

*2020-07-17*

Die App hat alle Basics die man braucht, ohne ein Abo abschließen zu müssen. Leider hat sie in Holland nur die Zeit und keine sonstigen Daten, wie Streckenführung oder Länge aufgezeichnet. Mir fehlt das man keine eigene Punkte setzten kann. 20km Rad fahren - Punkt A - 5km Laufen - Punkt B - 5 km Rad fahren bis ins Ziel. Und hier die Durchschnittswerte für die jeweiligen Abschnitte bekommt. Trotzdem 5 Sterne.
