## What is Running Mile Tracker?

Featured by Apple as a Health & Fitness "Best New App" and "Apps for Runners"

Vima is a GPS based tracking app for people who want to keep track of their running fitness goals. It is an app aimed at simplicity that allows runners to keep track of their runs easily without a lot of unnecessary stuff getting in the way.  

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

CALORIES BURNED
See calories burned. Set your weight in settings and get your calories burned in real time and on the history page after your run. 

APPLE WATCH
Easily start, pause, resume, and save a run without ever getting your phone out of your pocket. Check your distance, speed, time, and altitude from your Apple Watch in realtime.

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

VOICE SUMMARY 
Don't want to look at the screen every few minutes? You can have the app tell you updates on your progress in set distance and/or time intervals.

SPLIT TIMES
Added splits to the history review page. Choose from 9 different distances and see how each section of your workout went.

SHOE TRACKING
Track the distance on your running shoes so you know when it's time to replace them before they start causing problems

PAUSE AND RESUME

FACEBOOK & TWITTER
Share your workout with your friends on Facebook or Twitter (or email) with our easy to use integration.

### 5/5 — Efficient and easy to use

*2024-06-24*

The menu is easy to navigate and works really well. Also the statistics they tell me about my run are really helpful. All around 5/5, can’t complain.

### 1/5 — Roy

*2023-07-03*

Worked well until few weeks ago upgraded to premium - now hardly get anything and distance is not accurate- might as well cancel and go back to watch

### 1/5 — Subscription does not unlock features

*2021-12-30*

Do not subscribe. I did and I have not been able to use any of the features and can only save 5 tracks. There is absolutely no customer service. I don’t think the creators are even in business any more. I’ve had no response to my messages. Again, DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS APP.

**Developer response:** Very sorry about this. Not sure where you sent the messages but I don't see anything missed in my email. We do have 1 comment on our feedback form that might be yours, but it doesn't have an email attached so we had no way of responding. 

You should be able to click "restore purchases" in settings to get access, but if that doesn't work feel free to contact us again and we'll see what we can do. Also, be sure to update your app to the latest version, we completely overhauled the in app purchase system.

### 1/5 — App defaults premium to trial version after iPhone upgrade

*2021-03-07*

Totally disappointed 
After upgrading to iPhone 12 Premium version stopped working asking to upgrade to Premium and the settings in app provides NO login ability to resume Premium. Still paying .99 per month without the benefits. Ugh.....

### 5/5 — Review is Good!

*2020-12-23*

The app is really good because it doesn’t make you pay money and actually tracks where you are pretty well. You can pay for more features but works on its own. Very happy!

### 5/5 — Upgrade

*2020-10-13*

Upgraded for the premium yeah I’m still not able to track The miles I’m putting on my shoes, and I don’t have a voice activated telling me how many miles I’m running. I used to have it but now I don’t. And we’re paying extra. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Didn’t track my run

*2020-06-29, version 2.2.0*

Disheartened

### 5/5 — The best

*2020-03-23*

Love this app, only app I’ve ever used to track my runs, super simple and easy to use

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2019-10-27*

I bought this app after using the “pink” Vima. Now I can’t use it and the pink one only allows 5 trips. I am very disappointed. Developers must have moved on and found something more interesting. I will never use anything from these people again. And worse, they have my credit card information

### 5/5 — Useful

*2019-10-12, version 2.1.6*

It’s good, wish it was free tho 😁
