Bad, not worth it

This app is lame. Sure, it works on your Apple Watch, but if try to switch over to your music, the app stops. There’s no history to see how you did over time. I never felt any haptic response. If I could give it zero stars I would.

High hopes...

It seems the developer has abandoned this app. It hasn’t had an update in over a year. I am fairly tech savvy, so I began using RunCadence thinking I could apply the correct permissions required to make it work right. Unfortunately I cannot make it work either. I would really like for this app to work right because it is exactly what I need. I am willing to work with the developers to get things setup right however I do not see any options for support.

Erratic

I gave access to all my health data on my iPhone, but just as other reviews said, it would start and stop erratically. Very confused.

Limited use

It doesn’t provide me with beat to sync my run. Since many running apps can used with watch alone without the iPhone, this app would be useful if we can get tempo beat through headphones connected to Apple Watch. Until then this app is off no use. You have free running apps which tell your cadence during and after run.

Frustrating app. Stops beeping randomly mid-run.

Just trying to get it to beep at 180bpm and stops working mid-run then starts up again at random beep pattern and stops again. Absolutely useless and frustrating.

Response from developer

When the app first starts you have to give permission for the app to access the health data on the iPhone. Without the access to Healthkit the accelerometer will not be giving information to the RunCadence app. If you miss this warning upon opening the first time you can go under settings and allow RunCadence the necessary permissions.

FAQ

What is RunCadence used for?

RunCadence is designed to help runners improve their running form by focusing on step rate, also known as cadence. It provides real-time feedback and training tools to help users adjust their cadence, which can aid in reducing the impact of each stride and potentially prevent injuries.

How does RunCadence help with running injuries?

By helping runners increase their step rate, RunCadence aims to reduce the shock absorption at the knee. Studies suggest that even a small increase in cadence can significantly decrease impact forces, contributing to the prevention of common running-related injuries.

Does RunCadence require a subscription?

No, RunCadence is available for free. The app does not require any payment or subscription to access its core features for cadence training and improvement.

What devices is RunCadence compatible with?

RunCadence is designed for use on iPhone 6 and newer models. It also supports Apple Watch and iPod devices, allowing for versatile training options.

How does RunCadence determine my ideal cadence?

The app includes a one-minute baseline test to help you determine your unique preferred cadence. Upon completion, it provides personalized cadence values, including targets 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% above your baseline, based on scientific recommendations.

Does RunCadence use GPS?

RunCadence can utilize GPS for running tracking, which is noted to potentially decrease battery life with continued background use. However, its primary function of cadence training does not inherently require GPS.
