I’m a track athlete, so I use it for meeting benchmarks for my races and keeping a log of my times with different races. The only thing that bugs me is that it rounds up the miles. If I submit “0.25 mile” for the distance, it shows up on the Home Screen (where it says “log”) as “0.3 mile”. I understand this and acknowledge that this app is more geared towards long-distance or cross country runners, but it would greatly benefit me if it was changed to say the exact precise distance, rather than a rounded distance. ### 3/5 — Loved the app BUT *2022-03-11* I LOVED THIS APP BUT IT NO LONGER SYNCS BETWEEN iPHONE/iPAD PLAYFORMS ### 4/5 — Great App *2019-02-19* Easy to use and great feedback in graphical form. Would be nice to add non-running activities and have them show on the calendar so cross-training days are seen. ### 4/5 — Simple and easy *2018-06-14* Just what I was looking for in a runner’s log. I like the capability to store common routes and the ability to record notes. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2018-02-07, version 3.3.1* After paying and downloading to my iPad, I’m disappointed that although I input info in km, the app keeps changing to miles and does not allow me to change to minutes/km pace and only shows in minutes/mile. Likewise the stats show miles.. It’s a pity ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2017-06-09, version 3.3.1* App very easy to use. Setting up the routes is easy and accurate. Simple and very useful ### 3/5 — Cant figure out how to sync *2017-05-24, version 3.3.1* cant sync ipad and iphone even though icloud is enabled on both in settings ### 5/5 — Simple, powerful and perfect *2017-05-22* This is the perfect running app to log miles in a way that makes sense. The ability to log, categorize, sort, and analyze all your information makes the app incredibly useful without being over engineered. My experience with the user support feedback is a response within about 5 to 10 minutes for any question I've ever had. This is simply an added bonus in my opinion. ### 5/5 — Perfect App *2017-05-04* This app is amazing. It's perfectly simple and easy to use. The interface is easy to navigate and displays all the data I need and nothing that I don't. I love the ability to create routes and store them, then associate them with my runs. I also like the shoe tracking capability. It's easy and simple like everything else. And the app support is awesome. They are responsive and quick to make fixes. ### 5/5 — Amazing App with Amazing Support *2017-03-26* I've used this app for years. It's everything I need without too many bells and whistles (aka distractions and annoyances). Easy-to-use, seamless design. Reliable. I recently contacted support for issues with the GPS tracking. They were highly responsive and issued a fix! I could not ask for a better experience with this app! ### 5/5 — App: simple and all you need *2017-03-19, version 3.3.1* • App records miles and logs miles on trainers. • Thanks for the recent update! • Just works. ### 2/5 — Usess since the last update. 15 Feb 2017 *2017-02-19, version 3.3* GPS doesnt work in the background. Long time user. Please fix it! ### 5/5 — Simply perfect *2017-02-16, version 3.3* No bells and whistles getting in the way: no social media, no automatic playlists, no leaderboards. But also no layers of menus to slow you down, and no ads. It's quick and easy to log a run, just as easy to see your history via calendar view or graphs for miles per week/month/year. Need to know when to replace shoes, or want to include notes or tags for specific runs? You have those options if you want them. ### 5/5 — Indispensable *2017-02-15, version 3.3* I was so excited to see an update to this app. I have years of running history saved here, it would have been a shame to lose it. This app has just the right set of features for tracking your runs and showing statistics. It's not bloated with insane bells & whistles to try to justify some subscription pay model. This is one of the truly indispensable apps for runners, highly recommended. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor map interface *2023-08-17, version 3.3.1* Very clunky. Stops working in the middle of jogs. Poor map interface. Doesn’t measure calories. ### 1/5 — No longer opens *2020-12-16* App crashes immediately. Perhaps it doesn’t work with newest iOS update. I don’t expect a fix since there hasn’t been an app update in 3 years. Really enjoyed it when it worked ### 1/5 — Stopped working :-( *2020-11-28* I’ve used this app for years to track my running and it suddenly stopped working. It no longer opens at all. I’m so sad that it seems I’ve lost more than 6 years of my running history. ### 1/5 — Stopped Working *2020-11-24* I’ve used for years. It no longer opens. I’m afraid if I delete and reinstall that I’ll lose my data. ### 1/5 — No more support *2018-12-16* After iOS 12.1 update calendar and stats portion don’t update new data anymore. I emailed support twice no response whatsoever. The program seems abandoned. Quite frustrating. People beware. ### 1/5 — Out of date! *2016-11-06, version 3.2* Desperately needs an update for newer iOS versions. Doesn't work with iHealth app. ### 1/5 — NEEDS WORK *2014-09-23, version 3.1* Not actually. I just want the ability to change the day my running weeks start at, I'd like my weeks to start on Monday but it's literally not even possible. ### 1/5 — Horrible horrible redesign *2013-10-10, version 3.0.1* I hate hate hate the redesign of this app. It now looks more like a plaything for preschoolers than a functional app for runners. The calendar is now so enormous that if a month has five weeks it doesn't fit on a single screen. The log is washed out and ugly and hard to read. It also has these annoying pop-up menus but I think were supposed to look "cool" but in fact are just hard to use. The old version was simple and straightforward and functional. I've used this app to train for two marathons and I'm so disappointed that they've completely ruined its functionality with this redesign. The effort to jump on the Apple iOS re-design bandwagon failed miserably. Bring back the old version!!!! ### 1/5 — Great App *2013-07-13, version 2.6* This is a great, easy to use app that helped me get back into running! Easy to set and edit routes with associated distances. My wife likes it because I can leave the app open showing my running route. ### 2/5 — Wish I could make the week start on Monday *2018-06-17* My only complaint about this simple app is that it starts the week on Sunday (for both the monthly calendar view and reporting weekly stats). As far as I can tell, there’s no way to change the start of the week to Monday, which is how most of the world operates and how I plan my running week. I emailed app support about this and have had zero response. Otherwise, this app does exactly what I want it to. It tracks weekly stats, gives a great visual of running days, and tracks miles on my running shoes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-09-11, version 3.4.1* I don’t know why this app isn’t more popular, it’s got everything you need for basic running and no extra time consuming graphs or notifications, accounts, syncing or subscriptions. Super easy to pin point your route by hand or have it track while you’re running. Log, Calendar, Stats and Routes that’s all you need. I really like the calendar display with the little runners icon, motivation to see how frequently you ran ### 5/5 — Since 2014 *2024-04-15* No need to change. Have my complete history. Awesome. ### 5/5 — Works *2023-03-05* Been using since 2018 and never had a reason to switch/upgrade to another app. Thanks to this app, I can review all my runs, learn that 2020 was my fastest year with most miles logged, learn that I’ve run 270 miles on my pair of Adidas, and I’m looking forward to tracking my post-injury progress now that I’m running again hopefully back to a decent mile time. I don’t use any fitness watches, so I’m not sure how this app would interact with one and whether I would end up using a different app in this case. ### 5/5 — Best running app ever!! *2019-01-28* Super easy to use... can track routes, distance, pace and time. One of the best features for me is mileage tracking for your running shoes. My PT first told me I needed to pay attention to worn down shoes to prevent injury. This app has been perfect for that as well as the other features. A true keeper!!! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2018-06-05, version 3.3.1* Great job, thank you, I enjoy using your app immensely. ### 5/5 — Perfect app! *2017-12-24* Love, love, LOVE this app! I love being able to track the mileage on my shoes and looking back at runs I’ve done through the years! My favorite tracking app ever!! ### 5/5 — Just right *2017-11-25* This is my favorite running log app of he ones I’ve tried. It’s not as sophisticated as the other apps, which is just what I want. I don’t run with my phone or any other device. I just run, return, and log the time/distance after I’m done—maybe 15 seconds total input time. No extra junk to get in the way. Bonus points for logging shoe mileage. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2017-08-02* Very easy to use. It gives the information I need and will actually look back to review. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-06-17* Perfect app for runners. Has everything I need, all in one place. I've used it for over a year now and never had any problem with it. ### 5/5 — Simply Easy *2017-05-25* This app is an easy and simple way to organize any info you need for your runs. Unlike other apps it's not super complicated but instead it's simple and easy to use for all ages. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
