Simple Run
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every run, walk, hike and ride you've done, drawn on paper. Scribble Run reads your workouts from Apple Health and draws each route in ink on a plain notebook page. That's it. – Tap a drawing to look closer: distance, pace, time. – "So far" puts every route on top of each other. Pick a year, or put them on a map. – Choose how many drawings fit on a row. – Write with ink, pencil or biro. – Widgets: your last run, so far, a logbook, this week. – Opens like a book on iPhone Duo. No account. No ads. Scribble Run only reads from Health. It never writes. Everything is free and nothing is locked. If it makes you smile, pay what you want.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Workout at none against Simple Run's 4. Workout also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 27 months) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
