1. [R1] adidas Running 2/5 · US GPS is trash: GPS was weak and didn’t record my first mile which was probably my fastest mile yet. Very frustrating. I’m not a super star athlete but I do want to see my improvement. Nike app wouldn’t do me like this.
2. [R12] adidas Running 3/5 · US Enjoy the app but…: This app’s ability to capture actual walking speed is faulty.
3. [R15] adidas Running 3/5 · US Reliability: On any giving day, Running download and updates are wrong or incomplete.
4. [R37] adidas Running 2/5 · US Not too happy: The app is loaded on my iPhone 17. It consistently becomes unreliable in measuring distance after I pass the 7 mile mark. Why? Very frustrating.
5. [R10] adidas Running 1/5 · US Heart rate display and tracking stopped working.: It is not the watch or the setup as I have used the app for years and not made changes and the heart rate is recorded and tracked in my apple health partner account. Unfortunately, this is a necessity for me and if it’s not going to display, I can’t use it.
6. [R13] adidas Running 2/5 · US Loved it, but now I’m frustrated!: I loved using this app for all sorts of activities. I used to get my heart rate with my Apple Watch throughout my workouts, while simultaneously using my Bluetooth earbuds to listen to music. No if I use my earbuds, I don’t get the heart rate reading anymore. I only get it if I’m not using anything else connected to my phone via Bluetooth. Not sure if it’s becaus
7. [R18] adidas Running 3/5 · US Great App But HR Monitor Broken Now: I love this app. Much better than Apple's default workout app and since I am an Adidas fan, earn points is a really nice added bonus while working on staying fit. Unfortunately, as of a recent patch, the heart rate monitor has stopped detecting anything on the app itself. HR monitor works fine in the regular workout app, so it's not a hardware issue. I have an
8. [R19] adidas Running 1/5 · US Iwatch: Bad, very bad. It doesn’t allow my watch to be a heart rate monitoring monitor
9. [R6] adidas Running 3/5 · US New user experience: I’ve only logged a few runs. The app works well and I like the idea of getting club points for runs. I don’t like that the phone app has to run while using the Apple Watch to track runs. Can this be fixed so I can run without having to use my phone?
10. [R17] adidas Running 4/5 · US Love this app...: Love 💕 this app! I would’ve given it five ⭐️ stars, if ADIDAS/RUNTASTIC would update software to use on my Apple Watch while working out outdoors without carrying iPhone AND making it available to set in my ‘complications’ face-watch! I’ve been using to track my inline-skating workouts! Very few workout apps are compatible (track and sync) inline skating. Thanks for that ADIDAS/R
11. [R39] adidas Running 3/5 · GB This could be so good…: My wife has been raving about this for a while so I thought I’d give it a try ‘coz who doesn’t like exchanging their location data for free adidas points?? I’m running it in app and watch mode started it on the phone, big mistake as it doesn’t seem to auto activate any watch telemetry. Stop the workout, start it on the watch and it’s pretty good but why is there no live
12. [R3] adidas Running 3/5 · US Recent App Change: The app no longer displays the active time spent exercising. It only shows the time of day while exercising, which is much less meaningful.
13. [R4] adidas Running 2/5 · US The July 2026 30K goal is MIA: The July 2026 30K goal is MIA, and as luck would have it, so is the support and feedback page so this is the only place to report bugs.
14. [R9] adidas Running 3/5 · US Walker: There are still problems with this app. I cannot get to connect to FB like before. The pages freeze up if I tap on the symbol to connect to FB.
15. [R16] adidas Running 2/5 · US Calories Tracker is Off: How is walking 3.5 miles at 4mph only tracking as 35 calories. When looking up my weight, height, and steps taken all other resources show I’m burning 160-180 calories
16. [R7] adidas Running 1/5 · US Bring back the Russian language. · translated
17. [R22] adidas Running 1/5 · US Why isn't Chinese available in the language options?: Why isn't Chinese available in the language options?
18. [R27] adidas Running 3/5 · US DEVELOPERS PLEASE READ!: UPDATE: Below I have 3 issues listed. Number 2 has been solved. BUT, number one and three are still major issues. That would be really easy to fix and development and make this app so much better. 1. EDIT EXERCISE BASED ON LOCATION: sometimes I’ll go on a hike and I’m packing everything up, getting my dog ready, saying goodbye to friends, leaving in separate cars…. An
19. [R30] adidas Running 3/5 · US Great app and in many ways better than Apple Fitness however please add…!!!: This is a great app and earning points towards membership for activities is fantastic. What the app lacks though would make it almost perfect. While doing an exercise there is no way when you switch from say running to weight training hitting pause and adding a new activity. The app ojly allows closing current activity
20. [R11] adidas Running 4/5 · US Stroke survivor Neil: The App is great, only complaint is after 4years of walking to get back to my best 1.8m/day ~460 miles of data was deleted without notification. Love to get it back to measure my progress.
21. [R52] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 5/5 · US walking my beagle: Great app as helping me stay on track
22. [R55] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 5/5 · US Tracking progress: This app is great for tracking distance, time, location, and progress. I would tell anyone who is just starting to workout to use this app. It will help keep your focus on the end goal.
23. [R60] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 4/5 · US Proposed update: Love this app and I really appreciate the 15 second timer that’s been added! When I walk my dogs, I need a few seconds to get out of the house and my hands are full… A new proposed change is the ability to go backwards and slice off a piece of the walk… sometimes I forget and I jump in the car because I’ve taken them for a walk at a park… I would like the ability to go back and st
24. [R62] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 5/5 · US Perfect FREE running app for beginners: 1st I want to say this app IS free to use, ofc there are memberships and promotions to higher status and upgraded tools.. BUT it does track your runs, routes, times, and progress through out your time using the platform. You do have to exit out of a million ads to use it at first (there’s at most two) but that’s to be expected from a free app! 2.) this app
25. [R66] Nike Run Club 5/5 · US Made me more active: Since downloading this app I have ran more I just got done with one
26. [R68] Nike Run Club 2/5 · US Potential not met: I want to write a good review. The training sessions can help newer runners find motivation. But I cannot ignore the shortcomings. The app is buggy sometimes crashing and losing the entire run. When that is a long run in marathon distance and there is no way to restore or remake it? That sucks. Some portions of the app (rate run effort lock up and won’t let you press the checkb
27. [R69] Nike Run Club 5/5 · US The best: I always end up back here
28. [R73] Nike Run Club 3/5 · US Please update: This is a useful app for tracking runs. I’ve been using it for years but for the love of god please update it. I’m so sick of hearing the same Mo Farah encouragement for the last 5 years.
29. [R80] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 5/5 · US Great app: It’s a great app, it’s free and I just personally haven’t had any problems with it
30. [R83] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 5/5 · US Great app!!!: I have been using this app in basic mode since 2023. It’s reliable, intuitive, and informative. I recommend using this app to everyone!
31. [R86] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 5/5 · US Still awesome...: I think I've had this app 11, maybe going on 12 years and it's still awesome. It is perfectly useful. I'm already back to jogging/walking 8 miles a day after a long hiatus. Four in the morning and four in the evening. When I pushed it even harder than that (11.6), it was very clear to see from the following day's distances and times that I pushed it too hard and probably nearly i
32. [R88] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 5/5 · US LJOE3HHS: The app is great and I use it every day. I often go back and see previous workouts and races.
33. [R94] Strava 5/5 · US Music Playlists would make better!: I love this app. But ADDING MUSIC PLAYLISTS TO OUR WALJS WOULD MAKE THIS 6/5 STARS! Anyone agree? Please help me make make some noise about this and hopefully the developers will add this feature!
34. [R97] Strava 5/5 · US Tehehehe: Ts app was good but when will there be 3d buildings 🥺? I have used this app on my Samsung Phone and watch with Samsung health but I was wondering if I can connect with Apple health with this app. Gotta look cool with my thingies 😎
35. [R100] Strava 5/5 · US Great tool: Keeps me accountable. The only gripe I have is I feel like I’m a worse and better runner at the same time that the AI is pumping me up. Super easy to use. Keeps track of my shoe mileage. Would love if I could check that on the mobile app.
36. [R103] Strava 5/5 · US Love using this app: It’s simple to use and they have a free version. I love tracking my walks and workouts. It’s helped a lot in my motivation and seeing how often I am active. It was a pain tracking my workouts in my phone calendar and gym app. Now it’s all in one place.
37. [R108] Running Trainer 5/5 · US In use: Constantly
38. [R111] Running Trainer 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
39. [R114] Running Trainer 5/5 · US I Love It 🐍🐍🐍: I had this app before and it always do right by me 🦍🔥
40. [R117] Running Trainer 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.
41. [R25] adidas Running 1/5 · US Unreliable Activity Tracking: Very disappointed with this app. The step counter is inaccurate and does not record my steps correctly. It appears to be malfunctioning, which makes it unreliable for tracking daily activity. I have noticed that many of my steps are not being counted, even when I am walking for extended periods. I hope the developers address this issue and improve the accuracy of the
42. [R8] adidas Running 5/5 · US Best running app: I love how easy it makes it to track your runs and how each mile gives you points that you can eventually redeem for stuff like percent offs or even whole gifts if you get enough points.
43. [R26] adidas Running 5/5 · US Adi Club revived my running streak: Adi Club challenges and reward points keep me engaged with my workout routine and the brand I love.
44. [R41] adidas Running 5/5 · US Ability to earn points with running is a good incentive: Saw that it allowed earning points with running so I redownloaded - incentive is great! I like the one mile audio cues.
45. [R50] adidas Running 5/5 · US Best workout & lifestyle app!: Def motivates and en outages you to get out there and move! With a rewards programme that just makes sense. Highly recommend.
46. [R90] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 4/5 · US Love it: LOVE the guided workouts on free version. I bought the pro version when I was training for a half marathon and the plan it gave me was awesome and totally worth it for someone who enjoys structure !!
