### 1/5 — This app is not great

*2020-03-19*

It dose not count your steps properly I would not recommend

### 4/5 — Brilliant

*2019-06-02, version 4.2*

It tells you how much steps you have done all the time and it tells you how much you are burning off if you walk run or jog you will love this app and if you play on the trampoline it tells you how much you have jumped and done backflips and front-flips and you can also do gymnastics and others with this app and it also plays music so you can listen to a song and walk so I think this is the best app that tells you how much steps have you done and others.🥰😍😜

### 3/5 — Runners review

*2019-04-30, version 4.2*

Only a few complaints: it’s hard to see all of my workouts next to each other as a list; it’s hard to compare and see improvement. 
Also, there are all these options for music but I don’t have Apple Music; why isn’t there music that comes with the app, like a running music track.

### 5/5 — Run or walk app

*2018-06-29, version 4.1.0*

So helpful

### 5/5 — Absolutely great app

*2018-05-14, version 4.1.0*

Loved it. Very user friendly. Highly recommend it.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2018-05-09, version 4.1.0*

I run the same exact route everyday and it always gives me different distances so I have no idea what progress I’ve made or how much I’m actually running. The rotating charts are frustrating when you’re trying to track your distance or pace during your run and it’s so hard to finish your run cause the button in the bottom of the screen is ridiculously difficult to trigger. Lastly if you want to maneuver through the app you have to memorize a bunch of gestures that otherwise mean nothing to you.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-09-27, version 4.0.7*

### 5/5 — Retired

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2017-08-18, version 4.0.7*

I just used it it's amazing! Must download

### 5/5 — Best I've seen

*2017-06-13, version 4.0.5*

I love the graphs and detail it gives to a runner or walker. It's amazing!
