1. [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.
2. [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.
3. [R65] 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
4. [R94] 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
5. [R2] adidas Running 5/5 · US Easy: Very easy to use on all ages
6. [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.
7. [R71] 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.
8. [R117] Running Trainer 4/5 · US Great for casual tracking: Used it for all of my runs training for a half marathon as well as the marathon itself. My favorite feature is how it tracks your course as well as your speed at each section. Sometimes it’s a bit spotty in tracking
9. [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.
10. [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
11. [R63] 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
12. [R82] 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
13. [R70] 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. [R76] Running Trainer 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
15. [R119] Running Trainer 5/5 · US 5 Stars: Very easy to work app and it’s free!(for the basic version)
16. [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.
17. [R55] adidas Running 1/5 · US Technical Issues: I’ve been having technical issues with my log in and premium features for about 5 months. And have yet to get any type of resolution from support.
18. [R114] Running Trainer 1/5 · GB Broken Scam app: Aggressively uses the sign up for free trial scamming technique. So i paid my subscription only to find out after hundreds of hours fiddling with settings and paying for tech support, that IT DOES NOT connect to apple watch for heart data and cannot post to facebook because it is fundamentally broken.
19. [R116] 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.
