Great potential

I’ve had this app for years. When it works it’s great. Problem is that there are settings on four different places. Miss one and it won’t measure properly.

Modules concept is great but if you add a module after a run because you forgot, the app should be able to calculate all the data after the fact. Instead let’s say half way through a run you realize you forgot the calories counter. If you add it it’ll start counting from that point in the run. Why? You’ve got speed distance and time for the entire run.

Forget the time module for a quick run? No time tracking. What? Time shouldn’t be a module it should be a default.

User interface needs cleaning and auto stop feature needs improvement. Auto stop is very important for me living in Manhattan.

Frustrating because it has good potential.

One major flaw

Functionality is great, and I like being able to edit what modules are in an activity. The problem is that its GPS is wildly inaccurate. Up to 20% long, when compared to other apps (and vehicle odometer).

Can't open

App keeps crashing whenever i try to open it

No go

Can't open on iPhone 6. Screen reverts to home page.

Brilliant

I use Kinetic together with the Nike Running app. It allows me to more effectively control my run data, and share it with a variety of run services. It remains by far the best running app amongst the plethora of ones I've tried in the past few years.
