adidas Running: Walk & Run App 4+

Change for the good

You know I used to not believe in cell phones, or the whole smartphone technology. But ever since I bought my first IPhone my whole opinion has changed. It’s amazing how I can use one app for one thing and another app learns and thinks through how to calculate and complete tasks. I downloaded the Adidas running app and it tracks my walking and biking and my Adidas app communicates with it to keep track of my points that I earn, basically without me lifting a finger. Totally magic and I couldn’t live without it. Adidas does an awesome job giving their customers great service all around, I can’t believe you can earn points by excercising, something you can’t live without doing anyways. All the incentive to believe in the world we live in today and keep on doing what I do to do my part on this planet that we live on. Thankyou.

Do not trust estimated shipping date

So the reason why I’m leaving this review is because I called customer service due to items, not even being shipped on the day that they were supposed to be received by me and while on the phone with customer service/supervisor they would not take ownership to making a mistake or by putting in their words an estimated shipping date that was impossible due to their policies of that processing takes between 2-3 three business days and shipping will take 3 to 5 but yet I was supposed to receive the item 4 days after placing the order, so the math doesn’t add up then they will not allow you to cancel the order. Their solution to the problem is is that when I finally do get the items if I choose to return it, I can do so at that time. and the other solution was that since I needed those items before I went on vacation that since I wasn’t gonna be here to receive the items that once they’re shipped, I can contact FedEx and have them hold them for me. which doesn’t help anything considering that items I bought were meant to go on vacation with us. So my point of all this is that if you’re on there and it says that the estimated delivery date is on the first do not expect it to be there on the first because according to them that’s an impossible estimated date that they put on there that you should expect it to be at least 5 to 7 business days minimum

Used to be great

This was my favorite running app bar none for years. I paid for the premium membership back when I hardly had two nickels to rub together because it had so many great features.

But it seems with the updates and things shifting around they’ve gotten rid of some of my old favorite features that I used to use to help monitor progress, like only showing one total average pace per session. I used to love after my session seeing all the information and details and especially seeing my fastest and slowest paces per mile through the session. When I finished my session today after not having used the app for a while, I was shocked at what little information was provided at the end compared to what used to be given. I searched all over the app looking for more info before realizing it’d been gutted.

Really a bummer, because I’ve loved this app so much and it’ll be tough to try to adjust to another one. It’s probably still great for those who want a streamlined experience or who didn’t come to love what we used to have, so have nothing to compare it to, but I think it’ll be the first year I cancel my premium subscription since starting it years ago.
