## What is Run Tracker?

Run Tracker is a GPS based tracking app for people who want to keep track of their running fitness goals. 

PEBBLE SMARTWATCH
Run Tracker connects with your Pebble to show you time, distance, and pace on your wrist without making you get your phone out.

STATS AND MAPS 
Run Tracker tracks speed, distance, altitude, and time. It also gives you a map showing where you have been while you are saving a run. 

COLOR CODED 
When viewing saved runs your route shows up on the map color coded by speed. It shows where you went the fastest (red) and where you were slowest (blue). 

VOICE SUMMARY 
Don't want to look at the screen every few minutes? You can have the app tell you updates on your progress either every mile or every five minutes.

FACEBOOK 
Share your workout with your friends on Facebook with our easy to use integration. 

LARGE DISPLAY

VIEW TIME PERIODS 
See the stats for the last run, last week, current month, or all time with the touch of a button as well as the ability to choose a specific track. 

MAP TYPES 
You can switch between 3 different map types including street, hybrid, and satellite view.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-05-08*

Love this app, simple to use and works well!

### 3/5 — Post to Facebook? . . No!!!

*2015-11-13*

I love the app, but I was extremely disappointed when I received an automatic prompt asking if I want to post my running stats to Facebook (in the middle of my workout). No! I don't want Facebook invading every aspect of my life. Make it an option for those who want it, but don't impose it on the rest of us.

### 1/5 — DOA

*2015-05-25, version 1.8.4*

Doesn't work. It won't pick up the gps signal ( my other gps related apps work fine ). I emailed them about this issue months ago, and got no response. Total waste of money.

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2015-02-24, version 1.8.2*

Very bad now used to work it is not working any more. Developer need to refund money back

### 1/5 — Was great now worthless

*2015-02-24, version 1.8.2*

Worked great until the last update when it stopped hitting the gps

### 1/5 — Rubbish don't bother!!!

*2015-02-17, version 1.8.2*

Doesn't work can't open it. It repeats an error message that the gps signal is too weak and needs to see the sky, even outdoors it still doesn't work!!!!!

### 4/5 — Works

*2014-12-08, version 1.8.1*

Readings are not consistent between iPad mini and iPhone 6+. Phone reads higher. IPad and my window phone usually agree.

Wish there was some way erase old routes.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2014-10-13*

Works nice up until I installed the upgrade on my iPhone 5. Can't seem to pick up the gps signal any longer. Will keep trying but other then that it's awesome.

### 3/5 — Data is off

*2014-08-14, version 1.8*

When my screen times out and i go back it adds to my miles. Almost a mile every time. Wish I could fix but don't see an option to calibrate

### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-07-25, version 1.8*

Clear and easy to use. Provides lots of interesting info.
