### 4/5 — Not Working in iPhone17

*2025-10-24, version 2.3*

It’s not working in iPhone17

### 2/5 — Fotos borradas

*2025-10-08, version 2.2*

Depois da última att quando coloca foto ela fica borrada como se estivesse sobreposta

### 4/5 — Please add the calories consumed

*2025-08-19, version 2.1*

I love this app and use it for every activity. But in my opinion, the calories burned are still missing. Then there are also the 5 stars!

### 1/5 — Looks great but not pulling through Strava

*2025-06-25, version 1.7.3*

Great idea but it’s pulled through 3 random runs from Strava which are 1 year old. Nothing up to date and no way to fix

### 5/5 — Replacing my terrible Garmin watch photos

*2025-04-20*

Love this app. I no longer have to take the typical photo of my wrist watch while trying to minimize the glare, to capture my run data (avg HR, distance, pace & so on). Now I just take a sick photo on my run and take my time editing and adding my stats with the Run Story app. 

Again, much better than the picture of my Garmin watch I was posting every Sunday on my long runs.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

### 3/5 — Used to work but doesn’t now

*2025-03-30, version 1.6.4*

Even with the update my Strava stories aren’t appearing, they are all blank and don’t load. I have tried redownloading it but hasn’t resolved the issue. Annoying because this was such a good app when it worked!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2025-03-14*

This app is the reason I’m back on using Strava!

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — In love with this app

*2025-03-06, version 1.6*

Perfect way to share your workouts beautifully

### 5/5 — Top d+

*2025-03-03, version 1.6*

Perfeito pra storys

### 4/5 — No Metric units 🫠

*2025-03-01, version 1.6*

Great app but you need to add metric units to be perfect!
