What users are saying

1. Other than those nuisances, the app seems to track distance pretty accurately and gets calories in the right ballpark for runs (though it feels way too optimistic for walks).

2. It missed half the slow down and speed up cues.The distance tracking doesn't work consistently, sometimes it seems to track the whole run, sometimes it stops almost right away, sometimes it's somewhere in between.

3. Would be bad enough if it was a free app, but if you pay for it and it is not doing its only job, seems like a waste of money.My main complaint is the GPS distance tracking is garbage.

4. Overall, I'm using it and it works fine but there isn't really anything to it that you can't find in a free version.This is a good app for people who are just starting or getting back into running.

5. Annoyingly, the app contains 'personal trainers' you CANNOT get rid of, though you can mute them they still have noises they play at the beginning and end of your workout, this includes turning their volume to 0% and hitting the 'mute trainer' option.

6. I know its cheap but i still dont think it was worth paying for.Not a bad app before, but recently, the distance tracker is not working.

7. It also wont let you enter anything orher than distance if you run on the treadmill (or if it shuts down mid run).

8. I do like that all the workouts are pre-programmed and that I can play music and the prompts will still play and are loud enough I don't miss them.Good app but not really worth paying for.

9. When the GPS works, the distance split is often wrong.

10. You get correct paces and total distance but the distance for running/walking is wrong.

11. And since this app is meant to track running, seems like it is failing at its only job.
