The app's summary feature allows you to drill down your data by years, months, and days. Additionally, you can use the map course that has been set up to track your distance progress. The course starts in Miami, FL, takes you through Salt Lake City, UT, Seattle, WA, Bangor, ME, and back to Miami, FL, covering a total of 8288 miles or 13,338 kilometers. You can view where you are on the map as you go and zoom in and out of your current location. The Treadmill Logger app provides users with a great way to stay motivated on the treadmill.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: GymReader at Free against Treadmill Logger's $0.99. GymReader also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1). Treadmill Logger's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#198 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
