### 2/5 — Not for iOS 16

*2026-08-26, version 6.1.7*

My iPhone 8+ cannot go past iOS 16, & the adjustable BPM in this app (the WHOLE reason I got it) does not work on this device. Tap the adjustment up to 110BPM & it matches, for that moment. But then tap the “Set” then “Set & Play” & the music immediately drops back to too slow for the pace I’m trying to maintain (while recovering from STEMI).

Also, iPhone itself is accurately tracking Steps Per Minute, but this app under-reports significantly. The DJ work seems fantastic. The tech fails completely.

### 4/5 — Great App, needs more integration

*2026-06-03, version 6.1.7*

I was looking for a music app and found RockMyRun. Absolutely fantastic music choice as has Christian music but it is a shame that it does not integrate with Garmin heart rate for the bpm selection. Many runners will use Garmin due to its running stats etc. would be 5 star if this function was available.

### 3/5 — It gets me through, when legs are dying…

*2025-04-28, version 6.1.6*

I find this app great. When I start to tire, put it on and it keeps me going during training or races. 
However, recently, my Shokz Open Runs can no longer control the music. I cannot pause or skip. Please address and get back to being a 5 star experience especially as this is a paid subscriber.

### 1/5 — Robbery

*2024-11-16, version 6.1.6*

Insane that there is no way to use this app for free. I used to love this app so much and now it’s all about the capital gains.

### 1/5 — Skip to next track too limited and Billed without consent.

*2024-09-28, version 6.1.5*

You have so few chances to skip to the next track that it’s unusable. Also, I was promised a free trial, but was billed.

### 2/5 — Went from 10 ⭐️ to 2 after I bought a lifetime membership

*2024-07-25, version 6.1.3*

When I bought this, you could skip as much as you liked. They also had the artists and song titles listed for the entire playlist. This provides better information when selecting playlists. Combined with the limited skips, removing the song title list significantly degrades the usability of this app. Sometimes I find I don’t care for the first several songs and then it gets good. Now I can no longer jump ahead. So in a 3 hour playlist, maybe I prefer than last hour but I can no longer get there.
It also seems like some songs have been removed from some of my favorite playlists though the playlist is still there. I know I contacted them about the skips change and was told this was a licensing requirement.
Given these restrictions, $8 a month (which I saw someone say was their cost) isn’t a reasonable price point.

### 1/5 — Will not open

*2024-07-24, version 6.1.3*

They conveniently charge your bank account with no notice AND the app doesn’t even open.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no success.  Find another app.  You have been warned.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-05-31, version 6.1.3*

App won’t load past the start up screen

### 1/5 — Cannot open

*2024-05-22, version 6.1.2*

App will not open. Uninstalled and reinstalled and it still will not work.

### 1/5 — Won’t Work

*2024-05-09, version 6.1.2*

Running iOs 17.4.1 and it won’t go past the initial open screen.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-05-03, version 6.1.2*

Won't even open..

### 2/5 — Like the Music - Distance Tracking Way Off

*2024-04-13, version 6.1.2*

While the music element of the app is great for a run, the metrics are all way off as it incorrectly lengthens the distance traveled.  The worst disparity happened today when my run was .7 miles longer in Rock My Run than it was in my other running app. I mapped the distance in Google maps and Rock My Run is the app that got it way wrong.   Hence, your pace, steps, etc are all incorrect to.

### 1/5 — No STARS for you, RMR!! ;)

*2024-02-27, version 6.1.2*

Literally, the app WILL NOT OPEN!!! 😤
Used this app for years, & decided to start back working out after a recent move. Downloaded the app, & went to set it up, & IT, the app, will NOT EVEN OPEN!!!  After reading the recent reviews, I’m sad to say, I’m just going to DELETE it & move on. SO SAD, I use to love this app! 😣
PS: you can’t even leave a review w/o leaving a star!! 😡

### 2/5 — Not so good lately

*2024-01-26, version 6.1.2*

I used to love this app until they limited the amount of skips. Also, the playlists have gotten WAY too long. 3 hours?? 😳……and why don’t the playlists start from the beginning?? 🤔🤨

Edited: they have deleted two of the best playlists they had “Hustle Mode 2” & “Formation”…..why?? 😠😠

### 2/5 — Skip limits!

*2023-12-22, version 6.1.2*

Most important question- What is the point of having limited skips?! It is impossible to make a playlist with having to listen only a few songs and then be stuck.

### 1/5 — It drains the battery too quick..

*2023-12-08, version 6.0.9*

I was a RockmyRun user from the very beginning.. 2017 or so l want to say.. they went from a yearly subscription of $35 to $70 + and charged me after l l cancelled.. Apple couldn’t refund me, they supposedly couldn’t help me.. l had to stop using the app because it drain the phone battery too quick..

### 1/5 — App doesn't open

*2023-11-28, version 6.0.8*

the app literally doesn't open. Reinstalled several times, no change. Latest iPhone model with latest iOS.

### 1/5 — busted app

*2026-08-22, version 6.1.7*

app will not load past the initial splash screen

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 17 pro

*2026-08-10, version 6.1.7*

I had it previously but doesn’t work on my new phone

### 1/5 — Ridiculous & Disrespectful!

*2026-07-11, version 6.1.7*

This app is a freaking mess, I wanted to listen to my music in peace while doing any workouts, but no, you guys had to charge me $79 almost $80 almost $100, the worst is that you guys will charge some money if they have enough balance for one they bought it like I did after the two week subscription, I recommend you guys don't get this app, because I was forced to almost buy this thing instead of listening to music in peace, TOTAL MASSIVE RIP OFF! 👎 😠

### 1/5 — Stupid watch app

*2026-05-02, version 6.1.7*

I specifically tried this app so that I could leave my phone behind while I go on my workouts. C25K uses Rock My Run and can't play music through your watch, so you have to either carry your phone so you can hear the interval instructions or use your watch, which supposedly gives you better tracking information, and forego the music.

I tried downloading this app to see if maybe it would close the gap, but it doesn't. What is the point of having a running music app for your watch that doesn't actually play music through your watch?

### 1/5 — Won’t even open

*2026-03-26, version 6.1.7*

I used to love this app. I got logged out somehow after paying for a year subscription. I tried to reconnect my Apple ID/restore purchase and it never went thru. I tried again today because I had such a great list of saved mixes, and I can’t even get the app to fully load to try to log in. I’ve deleted it and redownloaded it…nothing.

### 1/5 — Bait and switch junk.

*2025-07-19, version 6.1.6*

I download the app to try the 14 day trial and charges by credit $85. Not a good way to build customer confidence.

### 1/5 — Idk

*2025-07-17, version 6.1.6*

It’s won’t open for me and it loads forever

### 1/5 — App cannot load

*2025-03-06, version 6.1.6*

The recent app cannot seem to get pass the loading screen!

### 1/5 — App NEVER OPENS

*2025-02-18, version 6.1.6*

I paid 79.99 for an app the will never open!!! YES, I updated all the softwhere and your app will not open and is NOT operational!!!!!

### 1/5 — Won’t work on my hone

*2025-02-12, version 6.1.6*

It was very aggravating not to be able to make the app work after installation. I was not able to open it ever. I tried to cancel it so I reached out to them..they insisted on me working on the app with exhausting suggestions. I do not have the time do deal with the trouble.  The subscription did not appeared under the usual “apple subscriptions” so I though maybe it was not working and perhaps it did not go through.. then they charged me and did not refund me. What a hassle!

### 5/5 — Better than a metronome

*2026-08-13, version 6.1.7*

I’ve had this app for a bunch of years, and it’s great to be able to adjust the BPM. The selection of genres keeps me from getting bored and the mixes are well done. I’m surprised by the lack of recent reviews, so I thought I’d leave one. Most people I talk to have never heard of this app, which is a shame!

### 5/5 — 7 Year User

*2024-04-15, version 6.1.2*

I have been using Rock My Run for over 7 years now and I have loved it the entire time! They have the best mixes out there for pretty much any activity. I use them for running, working out and even studying.

Thank you so much for continuing to keep the app updated over the years!

### 5/5 — Best workout music

*2024-04-05, version 6.1.2*

Ever get tired of choosing a song to workout to? This solves that and so much more. I’ve been a lifetime member since 2015 and love the variety of pop/ dance/ edm mixes that can be slowed and sped up to meet your pace. Really awesome app that keeps workouts interesting!

### 5/5 — The best!!!

*2022-06-16, version 6.0.3*

I love this app so much! The mixes are so cool. Worth it! It gives me the motivation to workout even on my worst days. 💙

### 5/5 — No internet pickup on new iPhone

*2021-03-24, version 5.3.6*

I haven’t had any issues before with Rick my run picking up the internet in my house. Now that I have the IPhone 12 I can’t get the app to work because it says there isn’t WiFi available. I checked all sources and it does have WiFi available but still doesn’t work. I will stop my subscription if I don’t get this resolved by the end of March 2021.

### 5/5 — Fantastic selection gets me moving

*2020-12-10, version 5.3.6*

I have been using the app for several years and always find great new running music. I need high energy music to push me forward, specially during COVID is running a good outlet.
My only wish would be to restore the download option. When traveling overseas is this function important because I don’t always have access to data.

### 5/5 — Favorite app for getting my groove on

*2020-03-28*

Updating my review: RockMyRun is once again my favorite app. I use it almost every day to get movement into my morning. New playlists are always being added, and the variety is enjoyable. The best part is that I can easily select the tempo of my workout by using the beats per minute listed on the front of the playlist.

The previous rating had to do with an odd problem where the playlists were getting mixed up, especially the ones in my Favorites list. The good news is, after several months, the development team corrected the issue and it has been back to awesome ever since!

-previous rating-

I am *extremely* disappointed in the most recent update for iPhone. The reason I started paying for my subscription was because the paid version gave me a full list of artist plus title, in order, for every playlist. Several months back, paying members lost titles and only saw artists; this most recent update now limits the list of artists to 5, even on playlists in my Favorites to which I listen regularly. This is very, very disappointing- I used to regularly recommend this app to everyone, especially in my Weight Watchers group, but can’t recommend it anymore unless you return to the full title and artists list.

### 5/5 — Motivating!

*2020-02-15*

I love to work out with this app! The music is so motivating and helps me look forward to my workouts. I love that there is an option where you can adjust the tempo as well to help with my running cadence. 
I really want to upgrade to that next level, it’s not too expensive and I believe it would be worth the cost, however, as of right now there’s not an option of only using this app with a fitness watch. I bought my Apple Watch so that I could be free of my phone when I run. I really wish there was a way to use this app solely on my watch. I’d gladly pay for that option then. It is a great workout app!

### 5/5 — Used to love - not anymore

*2020-01-27*

Like other users have said, a lot has changed and this app is no longer the great app it used to be. My favorite playlists are gone, there don’t seem to be new lists, it doesn’t show the song list for the playlists so you can’t decide if it’ll be good for you or not (and an entire hour of running to blah music is a sucky way to have to figure it out), it now limits the ability to skip songs that aren’t good for your pace/workout/taste, and the “offline mode” is gone which was super important for me (I run in a lot of areas without cell reception, and have a limited data plan). I even verified offline mode with them before buying my lifetime membership!  It was that important to me. I really hope they refund my lifetime membership or figure out how to bring offline mode back...  we’ll see.

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-01-05, version 5.3.1*

Pretty good coverage and great choice of music.
