1. [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.
2. [R22] 1/5 · US Scam: Says free trial but I was immediately charged for 1 year
3. [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
4. [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
5. [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.
6. [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.
7. [R314] 3/5 · GB Expensive: Too expensive
8. [R480] 3/5 · CA To expensive: Cheaper
9. [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
10. [R197] 3/5 · US Ok running app: Was looking to try a new running app. It is accurate however you have to pay to find out your time for each mile. Other apps include that so that was a miss for me.
11. [R483] 3/5 · CA Great app! More plans please 🙏: Very limited training plans. App definitely worth paying monthly fees, but it’s a bit unfair charging by default annual subscription, given that the app offers 3 months worth of trainings
12. [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
13. [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
14. [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.
15. [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.
16. [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
17. [R16] 5/5 · US Running tracker: It’s amazing. I tried to make calories I burn how far I ran, and my average pace.
18. [R33] 5/5 · US Recommend 100%: If you’re looking for a running app, this is a good one. It tracks your pace accurately, and even when you have poor connection it tracks your location and pace well. It’s really cool how it maps out your route and the places where you reached distance markers and where your pace increases or decreases via a color coded line through a detailed map.
19. [R45] 5/5 · US I can’t believe this is free for the best features: I’m able to track my runs over years. It tracks distance and speed and you can even look up the run on a map to see where you ran at the fastest pace or slowest pace. I do t pay for the app and get more than what I need with just the standard free features.
20. [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.
21. [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.!!
22. [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.
23. [R20] 5/5 · US I love it!: The best app to run! For beginners and advanced runners.
24. [R5] 5/5 · US I Love It 🐍🐍🐍: I had this app before and it always do right by me 🦍🔥
25. [R8] 5/5 · US My Fav!: I love this app. Been have it for a long time and it has never failed me.
26. [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.
27. [R12] 5/5 · US Got me running 5ks: Only disappointing thing: there were no fireworks or anything after completing the Couch to 5k plan.
28. [R54] 5/5 · US 5k: It helped me run a 27 minute 5k
29. [R48] 5/5 · US Casual runner loving the basic plan: I was looking for a basic app that will track my time and route with GPS and show it on a map without extra monitor integration or social functionality. This app without the premium plan does all that effortlessly, and is perfect for my use case. I like that I can switch between miles and kilometers easily, and that it tracks pace and elevation along the route.
30. [R25] 5/5 · US Awesome App: Small intro; I’ve had an accident back in 83 that left me with 1 broken arm, my jaw, 3 ribs as well as 2 broken legs with metal rods and wires for a year, 7 surgeries in total. I played soccer ever since I recovered very good, up until last 7-8 years. As I got older I was looking for an FRE app that I could use for my running. I’m not a big time runner, but I do it for healthy reason
31. [R29] 5/5 · US 5 Stars: Very easy to work app and it’s free!(for the basic version)
32. [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
33. [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”
34. [R124] 3/5 · US Seems ok: Does not seem to sync well with Apple Watch for distance and cal burn
35. [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.
36. [R3] 1/5 · US You did not even inquire what interval i want. I hate you: Disgusting
37. [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.
38. [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
39. [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
40. [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
41. [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.
42. [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.
