1. [R5] 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
2. [R12] Running Trainer 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.
3. [R62] Nike Run Club 5/5 · US Made me more active: Since downloading this app I have ran more I just got done with one
4. [R119] Nike Run Club 5/5 · US Best training app for runners.: The coaching team is inspiring and motivating, especially coach Bennet he’s a favorite his coaching hits personal like he’s right there with you.
5. [R11] 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.
6. [R22] Running Trainer 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
7. [R64] 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
8. [R96] Nike Run Club 3/5 · US Can’t pause during interval run!: Pausing during interval run messes up the app recording run speeds and time. The voice talks like you’re in recovery mode but the app tracks it as if you were in run mode so avg pace is way lower than it really was. This has happened to me so many times.
9. [R3] Running Trainer 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
10. [R94] Nike Run Club 1/5 · US App doesn’t properly track distance any longer: 0 out of 5! App no longer tracks my actual distance I go. Thought it was a once or twice thing, but it’s been doing it for about 3 or 4 months now. I tried it again today and it said I went .11 while my Apple Watch said I went 1.52. Find another app that works!
11. [R34] Running Trainer 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
12. [R92] Nike Run Club 5/5 · US Something for Everyone - &Free: Nothing to pay, there is nothing - it’s about Community. I think I’ve run almost every guided run, except the Pregnancy Runs. So many great dialog to build your runs. All you have to do is decide to start. Start with a 1min or 5min run; do those until you’re ready to move to the next; it’s about starting easy, easy, and the rest will grown. Listen to Head S
13. [R10] Running Trainer 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.
14. [R56] Running Trainer 1/5 · GB This is a rip off - be careful!: I downloaded this app today. It offered me 7 days free. I accepted this but it has instead enrolled me for a 1 year subscription at £89.99. I feel ripped off. Be careful. This might be ok if the app could be used with apple watch, which I understand it can’t. Very disappointing and frustrating.
15. [R112] Nike Run Club 2/5 · US Pausing frequently, even with that feature turned off: I’ve been using this app since 2017 and it was great, but it has started auto-pausing frequently, even with the auto-pause feature turned off and while I’m actually running! It’s incredibly frustrating to have to mess with my phone while I’m running. I don’t know what else to do besides try another app. I’ve used one enjoyed this app for so lo
16. [R61] Nike Run Club 2/5 · US Doesn’t calculate right: It doesn’t calculate the correct way. I’m using three apps at the same time when I go walking my StepsApp says I did over 9000 steps. Nike run app says I did put 39 miles in nine minutes. The apple think heart health app says I need it close to the 9000 or something steps all right I have pictures of this so I’m hoping they ask for them but this needs to be fixed soon. Peo
