" I swore by CycleTracker until I found this. That's not to disparage CycleTracker at all, which still does the job nicely. But Kinetic is by far simpler, cleaner, more intuitive, and has all the same features in a much easier to use design. It also syncs with Daily Mile, which is likewise a much smarter and simpler fitness tracker than CycleTracker has with Training Peaks. " - Customer review by JDob

### 1/5 — Great potential

*2020-06-17, version 1.4.4*

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.

### 1/5 — One major flaw

*2016-08-24, version 1.4.4*

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).

### 1/5 — Can't open

*2015-11-04, version 1.4.2*

App keeps crashing whenever i try to open it

### 1/5 — No go

*2015-11-01*

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

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2014-05-24*

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.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-03-24, version 1.30*

I love this app because of great design and very useful features. People who run each day will understand me.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2013-09-25*

Works well

### 5/5 — Totally terrific

*2013-07-10, version 1.29*

This application has. It all!

The layout is intuitive and informative.

The GPS tracking is accurate as is the Heart rate monitor.

Tracking and map displays are excellent.

Oh, and it's easy to set up and use.

I appreciate the "lock" button.

Thanks

### 5/5 — Keeps Me Motivated!!

*2013-06-28, version 1.29*

This Ap keeps me going.  I love to top the numbers of miles I walk/run and helps me improve my time.

### 5/5 — Great Product

*2013-05-29, version 1.29*

So far so good!
