I've been a RunKeeper user for two years, but I started experiencing lots of poor GPS and crashing, so it was time for a change. In just a few weeks, iSmoothRun improved both my training experience and running form. I can concentrate on training, and enjoying my run without worrying about crashing or poor GPS. iSR has rock-solid tracking, and even if it does lose GPS (which so far it hasn’t), it can continue to monitor and estimate your run via cadence. Now I wonder how I ever trained without features like auto-pause, ghost run and cadence. Cadence audio cues have taken my training to another level. It’s something I never used to think a great deal about, but has already improved my efficiency and form, which I know will improve my performance and, most importantly to me, drastically reduce my chances of knee injuries.As with any new release, iSR is not without it’s glitches. It’s a little slow waking the screen up from battery save/auto-sleep (on an iPhone 3GS), and export to RunKeeper, when RK Live is on, uploads your run with your finish point about one minute early. A workaround is to either re-sync, or leave RK Live switched off for now. Despite those ver.1.6 glitches, iSmoothRun vastly outperforms many other apps in connectivity, flexibility, features and reliability. It’s clearly developed by people who are passionate about running, sport and fitness. Thank you iSR developers, you running geeks are awesome! ^^

Perfect for monitoring progress by GPS, cadence (with a metronome to help optimisation) and heart rate. Seamless exports to Dropbox (and then to Endomondo), Daily Mile and Strava, Garmin Connect, Movescount, Runkeeper are used by me although it offers many more. It even allowed bulk export of more than a whole year of runs when I recently signed up to these other sites. I love the customisable periodic audio commentary on distance, pace, cadence, HR etc. Fully programmable intervals (including warm ups and cool downs as desired) are great. Can select audio playlists also direct from the app. It's also great for cycling, hiking, skiing, skating, any gym cardio workouts (even accurately estimating treadmill distance by the accelerometer or footpod if used) and other activities. It uses HR data (when available) for calories burnt calculations unlike some other apps. I use a Viiiiva HR monitor which also bridges between Bluetooth and ANT+, so have also connected Garmin ANT+ footpod. Although the built-in pedometer from accelerometer is almost as good (except when I use my arm for drinking etc.!)Highly recommended.

I started my journey by buying this app first before I bought hardware. My first mistake was to buy a Garmin dongle being much cheaper than the Wahoo equivalent. WRONG! Software was very simplistic and ISmoothRun wouldn't pair with it. Eventually after talking to my phone provider, I upgraded to iPhone 4s, knowing that Wahoo had released a bluetooth HRM specifically for the 4s. iPhone 4 has Bluetooth v2, iphone 4s comes with Bluetooth v4: So, forget the dongle: upgrade the phone!The old iPhone is worth up to £235! I'm about to find out if its true as I've posted my old phone back to Orange phone exchange.Relief as ISmoothRun pairs seamlessly with the Wahoo HRM through the 4s!I have now done my first cycle ride and first run with Wahoo HRM. Brilliant software! Highly recommended! As an added bonus the App along with all the other data gives me cadence during running. Now how does it do that?

I think I’ve tried all of the running apps available for Apple Watch out there and this is definitely the best. One of the major features for me is the ability to use the phone GPS (which in my testing is still more accurate than the GPS in my AW2), but I can also use the Watch GPS stand alone if I need to. Then there are the customisable Watch fields and audio cues as well as the ability to record the weather and other data and post all of this to various apps like Strava and Nike+. It all works great and is very accurate and consistent. Ideally needs a few extra things like a complication from the Watch and the ability to use Watch held music so it can be truly stand alone but these are minor.

Only been using this app for the last week or two so is early days but got to say I'm impressed.Previously I was using both Runkeeper and Strava at the same time for all runs or rides. So I was interested in using this single app instead which would just export to the other services (as well as twitter and Facebook) at the end of each activity. That work flawlessly so makes recording activities way easier.This app is also way more customisable than any other I've used for training activities. Only tried it on runs and created a few interval runs specific for a route I had in mind. Creating the route/interval run was nice and easy but sadly something didn't quite go to plan when running it. The audio cues I got at the start of each fast or recovery segment would shout random numbers (ie 300 fast, 100 recovery when it should have been 20seconds fast and 2 minutes recovery). For this reason I will only give 4 stars. If this gets fixed (or I figure out what I've done wrong) I may come back and amend.This app also has massive potential for connecting with HR monitors and other external sensors but I don't have any to test it with so can't comment on that side of it.

I used to use runkeeper for recording my walks/runs, but didn't have a way of recording heartrate. Bought a wahoo adaptor and was browsing apps that support it and came across ismoothrun Liked the heart rates zones and audio cues, and I can still export the runs to runkeeper so I figure I have best of both worlds. I'm found a lot of crosstraining at the gym and love being able to track my heartrate while doing it so I can see improvements in my cardio ability. I was impressed with the accelerometer matching the distance I ran on treadmill when doing a 5 km run. This is the app I will be using to help improve my speed before taking part in my first 5 km race.I've not had any issues with gps when running outside.j
