Flawed

Didn’t track my calories or record my max speed. No better than the free app I’ve been using.

Needs an update

The Watch app cant be installed because it needs an update. The GPS track seems to be inaccurate. Pretty disappointing for $10.

Doesn’t work

Bought it work on my i watch as advertised unfortunately it does not

Don’t waste your money

I have never reviewed anything before, but this app is despicable especially considering the $10 price tag! Not only did it not track my route, it never tracked my speed. The only thing It did correctly was the stopwatch Function. Yet, if I’m not moving at all it says I’m going 2-4MPH. This is around my house, where there are no network issues. Save your money and get Map my Ride unless you want to purchase an expensive stopwatch.

Top speed way off

I have a track that says my top speed is 11.4 mph, and took a screen shot that showed me at 14 mph. No trees or tall buildings in the way..Really disappointing that for the past few years it has lied to me about top speeds.
