It’s a good, simple to use app. Have been using it for about 10 months. I would recommend the app to anyone new to running. Would have given it 5 stars but unfortunately the developers have just updated the app so that the “auto pause” function is no longer available with the free version of the app. It is now only available with the premium subscription version. So if you run in an area where you frequently have to stop to cross a busy road you can no longer get an accurate measure of your actual moving or running time. Shame and a bit cynical really. Still Ok though if you run in the country and don’t need to stop anywhere. So from now on trying to compare my run times with all my previous times is a bit pointless.

Where did it all go wrong
cksummerhill
I have been using this app for almost 7 years. However since my last renewal it’s become useless. The GPS is totally random. The start and end points are the only elements that are correct is I ran the way the GPS tracks me I’d stop running completely. At times it has me crossing 4 lane dual carriageways, on the other side of 8 foot fences, across train tracks, in the middle of forests, and apparently my latest is to run in water! I can understand that the GPS will not be totally accurate however every run has me on multiple occasions 50 to 100m away from where I actually ran. As a result this has resulted in my times being somewhere close to what a certain Mr Bolt could run. The only part of this app I now trust is the total duration. Nothing else! I spent time and effort trying to better my run times, my km split times etc now these records are gone as this app thinks I’m Mr Bolt. If you want a good total run timer this could be the app for you. But if you want any split times, or accurate distances, I’d stay clear however knowing this app and it’s awful GPS you could be 100m staying clear and the app would have you right in the middle. Time for a refund people! The one star if for its timing.I’ve posted this on the developers site as detailed but haven’t received any reply. The review was based on the lack of response from the developer!!!

Better than Strava
wfpbj
Had this app for a few weeks and so far I prefer it to Strava which I was using before. I’m just using the free version to track my runs, I haven’t tried out the audio coach. From what I’ve read, the Nike running app may be a better fit for people who want audio coaching. I use the free NHS couch to 5k app for audio coaching, alongside this app for tracking distance/pace/calories.Pros:I like that I can set weekly goals for free (premium on Strava) and I like that it logs calories automatically (a faff on Strava) I also really prefer the look of the end-of-run stats (so much that I actually look forward to sharing them on social media!)But the most important things I like about this app is that it’s really easy to track running/walking/whatever, you can pause and resume, it still works great with data off, it doesn’t drain my phone battery, and I’ve never had it cut out or crash or forget to log my run (which seems to be an issue with the Nike app, hence why I never tried it)Cons:I don’t like that Personal Bests are a premium feature.I don’t like that there are no free training plans at all, I really feel like there should be at least one free one for beginners.(Especially considering how much you get for free in the training app, it’s weird that they offer so little in their running app!)I also wish this app integrated properly with the Adidas training app, which I also use. (Weirdly, my training workouts are displayed in my news feed, but not in my progress/activities tab?)
Very sad

Have been using the old runtastic ap for the last 4 years and I absolutely loved it, all my data in there (running 6 days a week ) then I start to get a heavy push to upgrade to the new ap, which I ignored but eventually it just happened and it just doesn’t work. Crashed every time I used it , have had to reinstall it 3 times , last running data and I had to input manually and I’ve just seen that it messed up data from previous runs incorrectly logging the date. A company the size of Adidas it can’t be beyond the bounds for them to develop an I phone ap that works can it. As much as I loved the old run tastic I have to move to another ap that works. Gutted......
