1. [R2] 5/5 · US Love it: This app is amazing. It tracks my distance and my time. The app also gives you badges when you accomplish a goal or a new streak. The app also allows you to add runs that you may have not done using the app. When I run on the treadmill I’m able to add those to the app or when I do long walks I’ll add my distance. I’ve been using the app and the free version of the app for years and it’s
2. [R6] 5/5 · US Top Ten App: Been using this for years because it’s reliable and simple and doesn’t interrupt me with ads or cash grabs. Couldn’t recommend this for enough.
3. [R11] 5/5 · US Best Running App: I’ve had this app downloaded for years, stepped away from it and re-downloaded it to see there was an updated interface and a premium subscription option. I was sad at first, until I realized they kept the free standard version as well. Love this app - it’s straight forward, and I love it even more now that I know they didn’t sell out to greed and kept some features free.
4. [R15] 5/5 · US Very good and gets to the point: I love this app. It’s very easy to use and very efficient. I recommend it for beginners even advanced runners I go into the app give me 10 second warm-up and I’m off. I love this app a lot no time wasting just click on one button and you’re good five stars.!!
5. [R19] 5/5 · US Simple: I need a program I can just push the button and go. Makes my running g days so much simpler and easier to get done.
6. [R23] 5/5 · US Complete and functional: Really good app easy to use, accurate in time, easy to synchronize , very dynamic. I’m happy using it
7. [R7] 5/5 · US Great: This game gave me how my pace was and how I was improving so if I was u I would go check it out now !!!!!!!!!
8. [R12] 5/5 · US Got me running 5ks: Only disappointing thing: there were no fireworks or anything after completing the Couch to 5k plan.
9. [R21] 5/5 · US Transformative: Transformations start here!
10. [R36] 5/5 · US Not bad for a free app!: I’ve grown to really like this app - the fact that it’s free makes it even better! Great extra motivator for me and love being able to see my map of my own running (along with my time of course) Sharing it with friends is a great w yea motivator too!
11. [R14] 1/5 · US Watch Out, They’ll Charge You: I clicked the 7 day free trial to look inside the app. They charged me $98! Trying to get the charge removed from my card…be careful.
12. [R22] 1/5 · US Scam: Says free trial but I was immediately charged for 1 year
13. [R26] 1/5 · US Beware of “Free Trial” offer: This app offers a 7 day free trial to be able to use the pro service and then decide if you want to do the full subscription. However when you sign up for the trial, they charge you the full $89.99 right then and there rather than the free trial period. I have reported this to Apple but if nothing gets done just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone tries to sign u
14. [R102] 1/5 · US Tricked by FREE TRIAL: I signed up for the free trial because the app seemed great, and it was! I only used it for one day and canceled the same day, but I was still charged for a full year subscription. I contacted Apple for a refund, but they refused. It’s frustrating that they didn’t honor their free trial promise. The whole thing felt like a money grab. Be careful if you’re thinking about usin
15. [R4] 3/5 · US Stops tracking during run: I have not been using this app for a very long time, U currently have around 20 miles on it. While this app worked perfect for me during my long runs without me stopping, it has been stoping mid run and not tracking. I’ll be running and within the first 10 ish minutes it will stop tracking. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or something happening but this has bee
16. [R44] 1/5 · US Worst app ever: GPS is almost always off. My last 4 mile run was off over a quarter mile. This was on the track, so I know that it was absolutely wrong. Usually it’s around .07 mile off. There are some days it does not even load. I have had to manually go in and enter my distance and time, so that I can keep up with my mileage. I really like what the app does when it actually does what it’s suppos
17. [R66] 1/5 · US GPS tracker not accurate!: I’ve been using this app for a while and I loved it at first, but when I moved to college, it says the “gps” is weak no matter where I run and it does not track my runs accurately. I will be deleting this app and using a different one or my watch.
18. [R159] 1/5 · US used to work well: app used to work well. now it works a while and then stops tracking and just draws a straight line to where i finished. Not Accurate anymore. not really functional. i don’t know what happened.
19. [R37] 3/5 · US Could be great: Needs to work with Apple Watch. Only reason I won’t use this app. Otherwise the UI is great. Lots of great information
20. [R59] 2/5 · US Amazing app (BUT): The fact that I have to run with my phone is annoying and unpleasant. I’m not sure why I can’t just connect it to my Apple Watch and go on my run then come back and look at the results is beyond me. “Plz incorporate”
21. [R124] 3/5 · US Seems ok: Does not seem to sync well with Apple Watch for distance and cal burn
22. [R228] 2/5 · US Disappointing particularly for the high price: No Apple Watch control, no 3rd party music integration make this app a hard pass for me.
23. [R28] 3/5 · US X: Shuts down
24. [R95] 3/5 · US Great app butttt: I have used this app for many years but lately it will not load on my Apple X. Maybe my phone is dated but I can’t even get my running logs from the past. Would be nice if it loaded up right away but sadly, I have had to move to another run app.
25. [R167] 3/5 · US Crashing App !: This app was cool for a very long time but lately has been garbage. It drifts on the map and doesn’t seem to be as accurate with mileage as it was in the past. Another new feature is the app will crash half way through a run and give you zero credit for miles put in. The only way to fix this is by going in and editing the run if you know your mileage from previous runs. Downside to
26. [R212] 1/5 · US Stopped opening up: It is a bummer, I really enjoyed this app unroll it stopped opening up. Deleted and moved on to the next one
27. [R177] 1/5 · US Too much talking and app ended my workout before I did: Too much motivational speech to synch with my music App decided my workout is done and stopped tracking half way
28. [R179] 1/5 · US Works but has annoying future that can’t be turned off.: I just want to be able to listen to my music and run. I planned to use the app to track my run and times. Problem is you can’t turn off the auto voice assistant thing that pops in all the time and pauses music and takes me out of my mental zone.
29. [R205] 3/5 · US Lady's voice: I liked this app before I had to hear this voice coach and interrupt my peaceful walks. I got a new phone and it updated this app and now I can't figure out how to turn it off. It's not something I'm interested in having if I can't turn it off.
30. [R220] 1/5 · US Bad app: This app is terrible I never write reviews but this app drove me to it I just wanted to track my miles and time and the run automatically stopped halfway through it even thought I set it to freestyle mode and there was a computer voice that interrupted my music to try and coach me and I couldn’t turn it off
31. [R3] 1/5 · US You did not even inquire what interval i want. I hate you: Disgusting
32. [R82] 3/5 · US Cost: Good app, provides a decent plan and the functionality of the timer is good but nothing special so the cost isnt justifiable. Nothing new is added, i would say for a monthly rate, $7 is what its worth.
33. [R90] 1/5 · US Pay wall ruined this app: I loved this app and used it for like 6-7 years, but putting my mile splits behind a pay wall is insane and ruins the purpose of a running app. This is the last day I will ever use this app and I’m sad about it. I loved that it would tell you out loud what mile you were at so I didn’t have to look down at my phone, but I refuse to pay for MY own data.this app was great bu
34. [R101] 3/5 · US Timer: I just wish I could make the timer stop automatically at whatever interval I want. I’m trying to get my mile run time down but every time I try to stop when it reaches one mile, it’ll track me for 0.2-0.3 miles extra so I don’t know exactly what time my mile was.
35. [R17] 4/5 · US Amazing App, but inconsistently opens: Perfect run tracking app, no subscriptions needed, very straightforward. Unfortunately it’s been struggling to open for a while now (1400+ miles ran) and as I understand there’s no way to save its data! Reinstalling deletes all the data and I can’t lose all my history. Please help, it’s the only app I have that doesn’t load! I was able to launch the app f
36. [R114] 1/5 · US All my progress in gone after update.: I’d been tracking for months and all my progress is gone after this latest update.
37. [R171] 3/5 · US Help!: I accidentally deleted my running app and lost all my data!!! ): is there any way to restore it??
38. [R185] 1/5 · US STORAGE: I LOSE MY PREVIOUS PROGRESS IN MY OLD PHONE😭😭😭😭😭😭
39. [R182] 3/5 · US ⭐️⭐️⭐️: Good but you had to pay for many things.
40. [R236] 3/5 · US Just OK: Hi, this app is a bit pricey for what it is- 3 plans. Would love if a runner could create their own run or plan- then it would be 5 stars.
41. [R246] 1/5 · US It’s a pay to use app: They make you think it’s free then when you are ready to use it after answering questions and supposedly creating a plan you get the option of free 7 day trial or it’s $15 a month! Not cool…just let people know it’s a monthly service app.
42. [R34] 4/5 · US Fun! 🤩: This app is amazing and helps me track my running very good but it is really hard to stop and start sometimes. Other than that it is good 👍
43. [R276] 3/5 · GB Completes my run before being finished: Needs to be a better system in place for when you finish a run. Has prematurely finished mine on a number of occasions.
44. [R300] 3/5 · GB Quite good: What would really help is to be able to preset a run with a distance or time. Reason being ...for example you complete your 5k, by the time it takes to stop the app, it records an additional part of a kilometre which skews the stats and although you can edit to remove the extra, it doesn’t recalculate averages. A little bit annoying to have to do those tweaks (if you can be bothered) t
45. [R147] 1/5 · US Basic Algorithm Not a real program.: The programs are extremely basic and are the same programs for everyone. The programs purposefully hinder your progress so you take longer and spend more money. I honestly wish I had spent the money elsewhere. There is no customer service and no way to get my money back
46. [R265] 1/5 · GB Not working: The audio cues just don’t work. I’ve messaged several times but I don’t get reply. Why am I paying for just stop watch ??
47. [R274] 2/5 · GB Mostly functions but poor service: Doesn’t log workout properly with Apple health app. When you ask for support expect a nasty reply. The ‘comprehensive help database’ is sorely inadequate and mostly about how to get your money back. Why would I spend money on an app that doesn’t work in its most basic form?
48. [R485] 3/5 · CA Good app but impossible to change subscription: The app is very well done and has some great features, however should you choose to give them money beware it will be hard to cancel any subscription as there is no clear way to do so. As of writing this review I emailed support asking for help to cancel a subscription and no one has gotten back to me in over a week
49. [R129] 1/5 · US Fine but missing critical features: I completed the 10k training, I enjoyed many parts of this app. If it was free I’d give it 5 stars. But one of the critical features of any fitness plan is the adjustment of difficulty. This app has you rate the difficulty of workouts, then no matter what you say they keep upping the difficulty. It would take zero effort to improve this
50. [R168] 2/5 · US Very disappointed, you cant create custom workouts: I already have a running coach and need a good app to track my workouts. This one seemed amazing - I get very annoyed by creating custom running trainings at Apple watch’s tiny screen - but using the app I see I can’t create my own workout and intervals, which is very sad and frustrating :( you pay and use their trainings already set up. If you w
51. [R9] 2/5 · US Great tracking; discriminatory: I’ve used the app for six years. Loved it. Once, I emailed to ask about the superhero skins to include brown ones on the free version. They replied that I can only obtain that on the paid site. So the skins for all the images that are free are white and the rest of us can pay for ours. Not okay.
52. [R218] 1/5 · US Doesn’t work for me: If you are extremely obese like me and trying to find apps to help you get active, this isn’t it. The weight in this app only goes to 399 so if you’re heavier than that then look elsewhere. I am 430 lbs so this app is useless for me which makes me sad because it looks like a pretty good app. The only reason that I am leaving 1 star is because I am unable to use it. I am sure t
