### 1/5 — Good app, but basically abandoned

*2026-06-16, version 6.5.4*

The app is good but feels pretty much abandoned. There haven’t been updates in a while, and there are bunch of bugs that have been unfixed for at least a year. 

1. The cumulative graph doesn’t switch properly when running or walking are excluded, requiring one more switch between week/month. 
2. The goals don’t sync to Watch properly. My watch is still stuck on last year’s goal. 

I’m ok with supporting indies with a subscription but this app is clearly abandoned.

### 5/5 — Used it for years

*2026-05-08, version 6.5.4*

Great app. Has helped me keep on track.

### 4/5 — Great Update

*2026-05-06, version 6.5.4*

Please consider adding a spot to tracking shoe mileage, i.e shoe name, miles accumulated.

### 1/5 — Was a great app, seems like it’s no longer supported

*2026-02-14, version 6.5.4*

Unable to reach the developer after multiple weeks/months of reach out. Tag function no longer working, data does not sync accurately anymore for workouts. Unfortunately had to cancel subscription as a result

### 5/5 — Love tempo

*2026-02-02, version 6.5.4*

This is a great app for Walkers and runners.  It’s easy to use and keeps a record of runs  and walks.   I use it daily.

### 5/5 — Best Running app

*2025-08-07*

I have Strava and TrainingPeaks and the COROS app and others, but (granted they all do slightly different things) this is the most important running app for me. This is my “source of truth” for running.

### 5/5 — Quintessential Training App

*2025-07-26*

I use other running apps as well, but I use Tempo to help me in my ultramarathon training (100 miler!) to get a better picture of my overall training distances and weekly average paces with the Cumulative Graph and Intensity Calendar. I also like the “per-mile or per-kilometer” and “per-segment” breakdown of important stats like cadence, pace, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, power, etc. This helps a lot with the varied terrain and areas I run. If I could request two things, I would appreciate a category for each mile / kilometer or segment that shows elevation gain and a grade adjusted pace option for weekly averages, as my routes have a lot of elevation gain.

### 4/5 — Great app but unable to reach developer

*2025-07-24, version 6.5.4*

I’ve loved all the features that this app has after a month of subscribing, and the price is totally reasonable, but I tried to reach the developer regarding an issue with walks being tagged as runs and was unable to get a response. I can only give 4 stars in good conscience as a result.

### 1/5 — Is this app still being supported?

*2025-07-23, version 6.5.4*

Have not seen any updates recently? Is this app still supported or has it been abandoned??

### 4/5 — What happened?

*2025-07-14, version 6.5.4*

What happened to the confetti when you hit a personal best? It doesn’t show up anymore. It’s a simple feature but I really enjoyed seeing it.
