### 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.

### 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.

### 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

### 4/5 — Brilliant tracking

*2014-07-11, version 1.8*

Great apps to tracks your running and even colour to tell where you've been walking and jogging.

Would recommend this to anyone! Give 4 star because there is no tutorial of how to use the apps and to understand it better, but I'm glad it easy to use and can self learn your way through around your apps before use it for real 😊👍

### 3/5 — Good but could do better.

*2013-11-12, version 1.7*

This App is perfect for tracking your running routes. I like that you can overlay your route with real satellite imagery. However there is no guide that explains what the different colours mean on the track itself. Is blue fast, red slow? Please update with a key. Other than that this is a good little app for the price, you could do a lot worse. This also works great with bikes provided you have GPS coverage in the area you are training in. Without GPS your route will not track and you won't get any stats to Annalise after your workout.

### 5/5 — Sweet and simple

*2013-09-14*

One of the better running apps I've used. Cool over view of the area you've run and stats are simple and easy to read. Can either be put in miles or kilometers.

### 5/5 — Hopeful

*2013-09-13, version 1.7*

Great to keep on top of fitness runs. Wonderful to see where I've run on the map. Works perfectly each time.

### 3/5 — Runtracker

*2013-09-10*

Very good app. However, I lose my last (or current) walk/run if I have a reminder set during the activity. I have to close the reminder and within a nano second stop run tracker. Fix this bug and you would get 5 stars from me. ATM you rate a 3 😊

### 5/5 — 👍

*2013-09-09, version 1.7*

Awesome app!

### 2/5 — Nope

*2013-08-13, version 1.6*

Wasted $1 dont get it! It crashes and when i run it always says 1 or 0

### 4/5 — Great app

*2013-06-17, version 1.6*

Very easy to use and easy on my old eyes

### 4/5 — Easy!

*2013-05-07, version 1.6*

Good app!  Easy to use. Having a little trouble getting voice update to work correctly.

### 4/5 — A gem in the rough

*2013-04-17*

Works well within the limitations of iOS. At first I used it as an app that gave me a feel for my speed on my bicycle. I now use it for running. The stats and pause button are very useful!

### 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!!!!!

### 1/5 — No longer supported?

*2013-08-13*

I used this app to run about 900 miles,  literally.  I liked it. But, similar to other posts, the most recent "update" is not stable.  It records no data during a run. I went to the developer's website "30 South" and noticed it isn't shown on their website anymore.  Does anyone know what's up.  I wouldn't recommend buying this app until they get this fixed.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2012-06-15, version 1.2*

Doesn't work! Want my money back. Big scam!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!!

*2012-06-03, version 1.2*

GPS is too low? Dont have acess???I live in Dallas, if u can't get it to work 100% of the time here then it won't connect anywhere!! Very frustrating, it may just randomly start working on the walk I was so fired up-going to try the app "dog walk" tomorrow. Wish me luck

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2012-03-15, version 1.2*

I starting training for a 1/2 marathon and used this app for tracking my progress.  Today I checked my stats and discovered 3 weeks of info us gone.

### 2/5 — Upgrade problems

*2014-05-01, version 1.8*

This app is great but I advise that you don't upgrade.

### 2/5 — Shuts off

*2014-03-08, version 1.8*

I used to love this app but lately if I minus it out to change music ect it shuts off and deletes what I have already done.  If you leave it up the whole time it will record everything

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-05-08*

Love this app, simple to use and works well!

### 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.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-07-25, version 1.8*

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

### 5/5 — Love it, works as advertised

*2014-06-04*

I don't run streets, but paths and it is difficult to get a true distance. This works perfectly for that. In addition it gives me important stats to help me improve my pace and speed.

### 5/5 — Reseña

*2014-05-27, version 1.8*

Excelente aplicación

### 5/5 — This is great tool. Works perfect

*2014-05-26, version 1.8*

Great app. Work in all places. Easy reading

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-04-21*

I'm new to apps but this does the trick for me. Now I know how far and how fast I'm going. The maps are great for seeing where I've been & finding some new variations on routes. Someone mentioned on an earlier review that the verbal mile counter didn't work for them. I hadn't realized that feature existed but once I figured out which audio needed to be turned up on my phone, it works great! I love the feedback on my run. I just have to remember the volume since I usually keep the sounds muted. Overall, a great easy to use app. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Works great for me!

*2014-04-11*

I love the feed back for what I'm doing. I'm not a high intensity user so I don't have a lot of high expectations. It's never crashed or failed to work. I don't tend to do other functions while I'm using it though. 
I also use it to find my car in a big parking lot.

### 5/5 — Run tracker

*2014-03-10, version 1.8*

Great app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-01-13, version 1.7*

Great app......the feed back while you run is a great option.  Gave accurate data.
