1. [R8] Runna 5/5 · US Game changer: I used to train with groups. This marathon training, I decided to go solo. This app is like having your own running coach. It provides strength, flexibility and running programming and schedules everything into a workable routine.
2. [R40] Runna 4/5 · US Great for training programs: I love the app for the training programs. It will tell me if I need to speed up, slow down, or I’m on pace. It doesn’t give some of the lap and some breakdowns that other apps do.
3. [R58] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 5/5 · GB Great Exercise App: Happy with this app. Ditched another exercise app in favour of this one because I was fed up with people trying to “follow me” or commenting on my exercise. Just wanted a simple app where I can focus on myself and and track my own progress.
4. [R94] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 5/5 · GB This app enabled me to run without injuring myself!: I accidentally found out that MapMyRun synced with my Under Armour shoes (suddenly there was a voice in my ear telling me about form and cadence!). It revolutionised my running. By following the prompts I was able to run longer, further and faster without injuring myself - I had been prone for years to pulling calf muscles and tweaking my hamstr
5. [R22] Runna 1/5 · US Overrated: Clunky interface and bit annoying to use. Cancelled in <1 month but still have to ride out billing. Much better apps out there with less friction.
6. [R36] Runna 1/5 · US One month not being able to sync workouts: I’ve been using Runna for some time now and syncing workouts to Strava. Since May 19, my workouts haven’t been recording routes, cadence and other analytics. Also, I haven’t been able to sync anything to Strava. I contacted the tech team and been passed on to 4 different people. I’ve been explaining to each one that I tried EVERYTHING the troubleshooting
7. [R78] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 5/5 · GB Easy to use: Find this app very easy to use
8. [R82] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 5/5 · GB Brilliant app: Really useful app which allows you to have a much clearer idea of the progress (or lack of progress) you're making. Fun to be able to share runs with friends and get a bit competitive.very easy to use, practical and reliable.
9. [R1] Runna 1/5 · US Messy App: As an experienced runner, I thought I’d be able to hop in buy a subscription and be able to use this digital format, but unfortunately, there’s no desktop support to it which is totally fine, but the app is glitching and it doubles up your runs and I have several runs scheduled in one day and I bought the yearly subscription and I found out you can’t get a refund because I don’t fall wi
10. [R10] Runna 2/5 · US Apple Watch Compatibility Issues: Good training program however very frustrating compatibility issues with Apple Watch Ultra 2. Every time a run was completed on the watch the run would have to be manually synced to the runna app in order for it to be shown as completed. Sometimes would have to attempt a sync several times before the workout successfully migrated to the iOS app. I talked to seve
11. [R53] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 3/5 · GB Runs don’t save: Worked at first and enjoyed using it but recently my runs aren’t saving. They appear on the workouts page at first but when I go off it and go back they’re gone. Sometimes even not appearing at all after pressing “save workout”
12. [R69] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 1/5 · GB What happened to this app: Used to love this app but now it’s well effin unreliable, I was considering investing further, getting the premium version and also the Bluetooth shoes to “enhance” my run. But now I see clearly I better off using my cash to blow my nose if I have a cold then give it to UA. It’s a shame I can’t give negative stars cos 1 star is too much for this company and it’s app
13. [R4] Runna 1/5 · US $20/month after week 2: Simply trying to go from couch to 5k. Nobody in their right mind with no running experience is going to pay $20/month after week 2. Misleading. Sad.
14. [R13] Runna 1/5 · US Only if you pay: The app is essentially featureless unless you pay for it. Free features are almost non existent.
15. [R70] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 5/5 · GB Rich bowen: Brilliant App & great 5 miles tonight. Have used map my run for 10 years. now. It’s all I need. Excellent.an excellent app. Using map my run for 6 years now & it is superb. What can I say. Still using map my run after 15 years. Does everything I need. 1st class app.
16. [R74] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 5/5 · GB Brilliant free app: Great app. Now improved with split time announcements every kilometre
17. [R7] Runna 1/5 · US IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL: DO NOT GET THIS APP! The training plans are fine, but it is virtually impossible to cancel, you have to jump through 3rd party hoops and depending on how you sign up you can’t change your email. It is a logistical nightmare, better off with something else.
18. [R32] Runna 1/5 · US Terrible refund and cancellation process: Links don’t work, customer service is a bot that sends you in loops of entering codes, links, etc. Free trial more of hassle don’t waste your time and money.
19. [R52] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 5/5 · GB Good app: Does the trick for running and riding. Like the way it speaks your split time n distance. Had to contact tech support over lack of Facebook support but recovered login with helpful staff.
20. [R65] Map My Run GPS Running Tracker 2/5 · GB Doesn’t work with Garmin and can’t start workout from Watch: Really upset for the fact I’ve paid the yearly membership but can’t use my Garmin watch with this app (can only merge the workout later) and can’t start a workout from my training plan directly from Apple Watch. Basically stuck to have to use my phone?? Really not happy, tried both map my run and runna and regret subscribing to the first
