Good fitness tracker, but buggy and crash-prone at times

Overall, this is a nice app for tracking outdoor exercise metrics from walking, running, and biking.

However, if you lose cell signal or the app happens to crash, you lose all your progress. There are instances where the app offers to recover the workout in progress, but 99% of the time I don’t get that option.

Additionally, I’ve noticed the app stops tracking my movement at random times. Once I open the app to check my progress, it shows a straight line from a previous location all the way to my new location. In these instances, a large part of my workout wasn’t recorded until I manually opened the app, at which point it suddenly started tracking again.

Perfect

It’s an app that removes the noise surrounding so much of the fitness industry so you can focus on what’s important.

It’s not a social app.
It’s not to like other persons runs.
It’s a tool in your tool box for wherever your running journey takes you.

Clean, simple, private.

Can’t recommend enough!

One feature request: the ability for the app to call out my split times.

Ok folx this is the one.

Walking, running, hiking tracking app with a focus on privacy and ironically not tracking its users! Thank you thank you thank you!

Fix Pauses!!!

I really hate how anytime I pause the run, or that it auto-pauses, even if I make sure that I unpause it, that it’s recording and that it recognizes that I’m running, when I’ll go to save my workout, IT ALWAYS SAYS MOST OF MY TIME RUNNING WAS A PAUSE DURATION, LIKE WHAT THE HELL, NOW ALL MY STATS MAKE NO SENSE. I have a 9K with a 0:40 pace because it thought most of my time running was a pause… fix it please!!!

simple, easy to use, and privacy respecting!

a breathe of fresh air amidst the apps that demand to know everything about you just to show you simple operations like a map.

Most privacy friendly running app

Best option I have found for those that feel no need to share their running routes and other information with the world

Respecte la vie privée mais des défauts sérieux

J'aime bien cette appli car elle ne collecte pas nos données et est opensource, mais je ne compte plus le nombre de longs parcours que j'ai intégralement perdus car l'appli n'enregistre pas au fur et à mesure mais seulement à la fin. Si par erreur on ferme l'appli, tout est perdu... Évidemment c'est sur les longs trajets que ça a le plus de chances d'arriver. La lenteur de l'interface pose aussi problème et parfois on appuie par erreur sur des boutons qui apparaissent une seconde trop tard. Si vous êtes prêts à prendre ces risques, cette appli est pour vous.

Sehr gut

Sehr gute App, nutze sie seit Jahren für jeden Lauf den ich tätige. Mir ist noch kein Fehler begegnet. Nutze die App hauptsächlich alleine oder mit Musik im Hintergrund.

Excellent!

Great work on the app! I use it all the time and appreciate its oss nature.

Great

Finally, an open source run tracker app that does what you want it to without any gimicks

Perfect

Definitely one of my top five favorite apps. It does what it’s supposed to do so well. With a great interface, no ads, zero privacy concerns.

Everything you need, nothing you don’t

Just opened the OutRun app for the first time in a while today and I was reminded why I kept it on my phone without deleting it all this time.

The UI is clean, elegant and focused and recording workouts (this app can record more than just runs) is easy. The app also has no bloat, making it run quickly, even on my aging iPhone 11.

Another note: the app download size is really small which just shows how unbloated the app really is.
Awesome app!

The best

Edit: Turns out that my brand-new 3rd generation SE has a case of “ghost touch”, which was the cause of the flaky behaviour.

This beautiful app had everything that I was looking for and nothing that I didn’t need. I used it daily for years. But, presumably due to updates to iOS, it has been acting up lately. That is real shame…

Was the best of the best, but has become flaky

This beautiful app had everything that I was looking for and nothing that I didn’t need. I used it daily for years. But, presumably due to updates to iOS, it has been acting up lately. That is real shame…

Stunning!

I rarely write review, however this app obviously deserve one.

Beautiful design, very straightforward, it displays the map during the run (extra useful if lost) and every insights after saving.

As a developper myself, I appreciate the Apple design language being respected, the compatibility (export backup and GPX trace) and the fact that it is open source is the cherry on the cake.

Compliments to the author, I’ll continue to test it and will be reaching out to help if I can!

simple and effective

great app!!

Take photo ?

Great app ! Could you add a « take photo » button ? So we could add photo waypoint to the recorded track? Thanks

Great App!

I really enjoyed using Strava with all its capabilities and nice interface. However, the terrible thing about it is its lack of privacy. You can set your own privacy settings of course, but Strava has access to all your information. I thought, “Oh no! I’m going to lose stats, and have to go old school and log it all manually!” But Outrun has been a great replacement. Been walking and hiking so far and will add cycling in the summer. Outrun is totally privacy focused with a slick interface and it works really well. No crashes so far. I haven’t really tried the export feature yet so I can log my workouts in an external application but I’ll try that soon.

App senza fronzoli

Fa tutto quello che serve senza appesantire con inutile funzionalità. Inoltre open source

Beste Laufapp

Schade dass es keine 6 Sterne gibt, diese App hätte es verdient. Ich habe ewig eine App wie diese ohne Werbung und Datenerfassung in OpenSource gesucht und nun endlich gefunden. Dazu sieht sie auch noch echt hübsch aus und benötigt kaum Speicher und ist mit Apple Health kompatibel!

Was ich noch schön fände, wäre eine kurze Sprachinfo die alle paar Kilometer eine kurze Rückmeldung gibt.
