Great functional app

Gives a lot of excellent details while you are rucking, and provides good info for review after

For serious fitness

Loved the cadence training, I also started using it without a backpack

Great!

Great for walks or rucks. Enjoyed the map layout and interface.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We're thrilled to be a part of your rucking journey. Happy training, and we look forward to seeing your progress!

To the point

This is the best rucking app out there, covers the essentials very well, and it’s not bloated with social or media fake community non sense. If you want to track your rucks, this is the app

Great app

I have been using this as a beginner Rucker and find it useful for tracking and mapping my routes. Will continue to use!

Showed promise

Used it for a week and liked what I was seeing. The first couple times I used it, the app would stop tracking. I’d check it and find that it wasn’t tracking and have to start it again. All the rucks after that worked perfectly. Did a 10k ruck on Saturday and it worked great. Today, I can’t get the app to work at all. It crashes the second it loads. I’ve rebooted my phone and that didn’t help. I’m using an iPhone 16 Pro Max and iOS 18.6.2. Plan to ruck in the morning and I guess I’ll have to find another app to use. I’m afraid if I delete the app and reinstall, it will lose all of my history. The app doesn’t feed anything into the health app as far as I can tell and doesn’t upload backups to iCloud. Edited to add that I ended up deleting the app and reinstalling. Lost all previous progress. It worked for one ruck session fine. The next time I tried to open it, it instantly crashed again. I deleted and reinstalled again with the same results. Sometimes it will load without crashing, but it freezes and says “updating weather” at the bottom. It is completely unresponsive when that happens. I force close the app and then it goes back to instantly crashing back to the Home Screen.

I hate your subscription model

Hey! I was really excited to use this app but I hate your subscription model! Please make it free or don’t do it at all!

Response from developer

Hi! The subscription model may not have met your expectations, and we are sorry about that. Your feedback helps us understand our users better. The subscription helps fund the ongoing development, maintenance, and updates of the app. This allows us to deliver new features and ensure a smooth experience. If you are willing to share more about what you are looking for, we would appreciate the insights.

Next level rucking app

I love how this app checks the weather for the next six hours right where I am. It totally saved me from getting soaked on my rucking the other day. I did a quick one instead and saved the long run for the next day. Super cool feature!

Ottime

Ottime istruzioni, e stata una passeggiata incredibile, grazie

Response from developer

Grazie mille per la fantastica recensione! Siamo felicissimi di sapere che le istruzioni ti siano state utili e che la tua uscita sia stata incredibile. È fantastico sapere che Rucker ti accompagna nelle tue avventure. A presto per la prossima camminata!

Permissions

May be a good app, but it wouldn’t let me use it unless I allow location access when not using the app. Why?

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for raising this important question. We completely understand your hesitation about this permission. The app needs 'Allow all the time' location access so it can continue to track your rucking session accurately even when the app is in the background or your phone is locked. This prevents your workout from being interrupted or losing data. We want to assure you that your privacy is our top priority. Your location is only ever tracked when you have an active ruck in progress and is never monitored otherwise. We hope this clears things up, and we'd love for you to give the app a try!

10/10

This is great for newbie and experienced ruckers! I especially like that I can adjust the weight of my backpack, and the metronome for pacing is very useful for staying on pace while rucking.
