### 5/5 — Excellent Summaries

*2026-07-24*

This app gives me access to exactly the data I was wanting. Developer is very responsive.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-06-02*

Detailed and allows me to be ultra competitive against myself and set goals of beating milestones.  However, if the developer sees this, would really like a 2 MILE split time and category for fastest 2 MILE times as well

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and the great suggestion. We added a fastest 2-mile split category in version 2.11, so you can track that milestone alongside your other best efforts. Keep the feedback coming.
