Most runners know they've run "a lot" of their city. They couldn't tell you which streets. MyRunMap turns your city into a challenge. Every street you run is marked complete, every city gets a completion percentage, and watching that number climb toward 100% is strangely hard to stop. Connect Strava or Garmin and years of history load onto one map immediately. New runs sync automatically. Or record straight from the app and watch streets complete as you run them - no desktop, no second app required. WHAT YOU GET FREE - One map of every street you've ever run - Per-city completion percentages. Tap any city to see exactly which streets are left - Activity import from Strava or Garmin with automatic sync - Native GPS recording that survives screen-off and backgrounding - Leaderboards for every city you've run in - Challenges: compete with friends to finish a neighborhood or rack up streets in a month - 40 achievements across streets, cities, competition and routes MYRUNMAP PREMIUM, FOR WHEN YOU'RE HOOKED - Route builder: plan your next run through streets you haven't done yet and export it to your watch - Create your own challenges and invite anyone - Extra map layers and watermark-free sharing - Connect Strava, Garmin, and Suunto at the same time Travel and see which streets of Tokyo or Lisbon you actually stepped on. Pick a neighborhood and close it out street by street. Chase 100% of your home town. Built by a runner who got tired of every running app treating every activity as a clean slate. Feedback goes to hello@myrunmap.com and we read everything. Run every street.

Volta is a running app built around the music — with three ways to run. LET IT DJ — during the run, Volta cues each next track to how you're actually moving. PLAN IT — before you go, Volta builds a playlist matched to your target pace and cadence. JUST PRESS PLAY — run to your own music, and Volta maps it for you. Whichever you choose, your route and your listening land on one timeline afterward — so you can see exactly what every song did to your pace. MUSIC THAT READS YOUR BODY In Match My Vibe mode, Volta watches how you're moving and picks the next song to match. Want to steer? Tap Hype to push the energy up, or Cool to bring it down — anytime. PLAN THE PLAYLIST BEFORE YOU GO Set your target pace, distance, and energy curve, and Volta builds a playlist shaped for that exact run. See every track's BPM before you start, and swap or reorder anything until it's yours. EVERY SONG, SHOWN ON THE MAP Your route, colored by pace and split by track. Tap any segment to see what was playing and how fast you were moving there. THE SONG THAT MADE YOU FASTEST After every run, Volta surfaces your Power Track — the one song you ran fastest to, with your pace on it and how far above your average it pushed you. YOUR SONGS, RANKED BY WHAT THEY DO FOR YOU Your whole library, sorted by the pace you actually ran to each track. Filter by month, sort by pace, and find the songs that reliably deliver — so your next playlist is built on what works. KNOW WHEN YOU HIT FLOW When your steps per minute lock to the beat, running feels easier. Volta shows you which tracks matched your stride and which didn't — so you learn what carries you. SHARE IT Turn any run into a clean, shareable image — your route, your top tracks, your pace — ready for your camera roll or your feed. Volta works with Apple Music and Apple Health.

Verdict

The call

MyRunMap and Volta Running both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Volta Running's written reviews are positive against 50% of MyRunMap's. Volta Running also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). MyRunMap's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
