Great for progress tracking

sportMe marathon training app is a must have for any runner looking to up their game. It offers a variety of customizable plans, progress tracking, and expert tips to help you achieve your goals. Highly recommended!

Helped a lot when I trained for NYC marathon

I’ve always been a fan of this app because of its ability to adjust my plan according to my progress. Plus, it syncs with my Apple Watch so no need to carry my phone during my runs. Plan to kick off another marathon next year!

App and Website Completely Broken

I’ve used this app off and on for years for training, but in the past few days the app and website seem to have been hacked or are completely broken. The app can’t save or sync runs appropriately anymore. And when I cleared the cache to try to help, a whole host of other issues appeared. You can’t log in with either Facebook (as it reports an error saying the app is not active) or the website (as it not only no longer has a valid certificate to ensure website security, but the website itself is very broken, with most links and buttons not working). This is extremely concerning from a security and privacy standpoint as a user.

Waste of time!

Apple watch doe not work

Save Your Money

The running coaches are a joke. If you ask them specific questions about training, your plan, or for feedback they just point out how the app works. There is no progressive feedback from them during the program.

The integration with apple health works sometimes, and tracking long runs from the app just crashes the app eventually.

Not working today

Everything is good and working. It’s really a nice app. But today I can’t use it because it doesn’t open my account . I asked to my brother if he had the same problem and he told me that he had the same problem

Robbed

I’ve paid for a subscription, set up a running plan, wouldn’t allow me as an error alert was popping up. Now everytime I try to open App it closes straight away???

No real metric option - very US- centric

Could be a good app but it’s all US measurement based - miles, Fahrenheit. For the rest of the world it’s a pain with weird measurements.

Frustrated with subscription

Each time I try to change my run plan, I am prompted to purchase a subscription. The last time this happened, I was charged three times. Apple refunded the duplicate charges, but I was frustrated it happened in the first place. It’s a decent app otherwise, but I’m frustrated enough to stop using it. It seems that you cannot even give feedback on the app if you don’t have subscription, which is why I’m leaving this here.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, IT’S NOT FREE!!

This app is a subscription and you pay $7 dollars a month. You have to look in the description and read though it to see that it’s not free. Maybe that’s on me for not looking in the description, but I think they should put the cost next to the app icon which is what most other apps do. Also, I gave it only one stars only because I haven’t even used the app but I’m deleting it after writing this because I don’t want to pay. And from what I’ve heard from the other reviews, you have to log in every time you want to open up the app! And, I find it kinda weird how, in the Terms of Service, their is discoloration on the screen. The background of the text is discolored in some areas.

One of the most useful apps on my phone

I depend on my phone when it comes to exercising. I double check my form, log my workouts, so practically my phone is a major part of my running routine. This app specifically helped me a lot. I can track all the relevant running data, I can get training plans depending on my upcoming races, I also get feedback from professional coaches. Great app, overall!

Life changing | I hated running before SportMeTrainer

I can’t say enough good things about this app. It’s like having a personal trainer in your pocket. You get personalized training plan adapted to your skills and schedule. You get expert coaching from real trainers. I used to hate running and now I look forward to it. Using this has replaced my having to go to HIIT classes and, the best thing, it helped me get faster and improve my pace, which feels great!

Best running app out there

So I’m an 26 year old runner who runs about 15 miles a week but sometimes more. SportMe Marathon Trainer really suited me. What I like best about this app is that it made it really easy to track exactly when I did the run and a lot of running metrics, such as pace, calories etc. there are no glitches with the app, so I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to any type of runner.

Best marathon training app

I downloaded this app a year ago. It prompted me with a few questions related to my running goals. Based on the goal I entered- run a marathon in my case, SportMe Marathon Trainer curated a collection of guided runs for me. The marathon training plan was perfect for my skills and schedule, love it!

Nice looking and easy to use

This app is absolutely amazing, me and 4 more friends use it and it is very reliable for all of us when it comes to running workouts. My running data is in a safe place and I have all the running details at hand.

Trained and ready to go...

I made a commitment to run my first half marathon.
I didn’t know how to train myself to do so. The app gave me direction, and guided my training process. It is valuable to be able to communicate with Marathon Matt during the process, his knowledge and insight were very helpful.
The problems I’ve had... using the app and my music stream simultaneously, the music will occasionally cut off. A few times, during runs, the app would unknowingly pause.
My race was postponed tho I continued to train. Thus I’m running my half this wknd, alone. I appreciate having the app to accomplish this goal.

When you download the app, it will prompt you with a few questions related to your goals. Based on the goal you enter- run your first half marathon, get faster, build endurance and so on, SportMe will offer a customized training plan. You can use it both outdoors and on a treadmill if you’re stuck indoors.

This app eased my journey to my half marathon

It gives my time, distance, caloric output and speed as I run, and also it offers details such as pace or elevation. It’s based on GPS tracking and the simple, accessible history screen is also a nice touch.

Most accurate running app

I’ve been using this app for years and I didn’t encounter crashes or glitches. It’s super reliable and the tracking info is accurate, making monitoring your running workouts easy.

My favorite running app!

There are big benefits to keeping a training log as you prepare for a race and SportMe app is great for tracking your runs. You can easily record your distance, pace, time and plenty more to stay on top of your training plan.
