Edit: I ended up deleting it, because it kept messing up my distance. Would have been awesome if it could be more accurate.. This is a great app, but there should be a way to edit the distance, because I ran the exact same route as usual, but today it recorded it as a half mile less than usual. I don't know why, but now my average and everything is slightly off :\ Please add an option to edit distance just in case the GPS gets thrown off sometimes. Thank you
I was enjoying this app until I realized that when you pause a run it continues to calculate distance, which is then added when you un-pause the run. For example, if you pause the run after running a few km and walk for a bit, it will continue to calculate all the distance you moved. Never came across this with other running apps. Pause should stop everything. I wondered why I was getting very quick pace times - it was adding a chunk of distance without any time.
Good stuff here. Accurate, and gives a cool little visual after you finish your run. Saves your results, and you can set daily reminders and goals. I see people are saying it's not accurate, but for me personally, it is. I walked up and down my sidewalk the first time using it and it tracked me going back and forth about 15 times.
Seems accurate. Probably depends on many factors like signal strength, etc. Down graded my rating a bit. Drives me crazy at the end of a run the app runs in the background, so I'm fumbling with the lock screen, then more clicks to pause and stop the app. That, in and of itself, makes it inaccurate to time runs.
Distance is consistently way off at the beginning of runs. I ran a straight line this morning - 1.2 miles on Google Maps walking and Nike Run Club. This app read it at 0.4 miles. It captured the full 1.2 on the way back, but never got credit for the missing 0.8. This is the second time in 3 tries this has happened. Maybe my cell network, who knows, but hasn't happened with other apps. Going to find another option.
Used successfully for several months. Recently I have been forced to watch a video advertisement everytime I start the app. It has reached the point of more than annoying. Uninstalling the app.
Updated review. 4 weeks of using this app on the treadmill at the gym, I can see and feel results already. I have lost 8lb and feel fitter than ever. I have even started to continue running for an extra 5 mins when training is complete. This workout is fantastic for weight loss and toning.
Used it once. Showed correct route map. Calculated me 1/2 of the actual distance, had to check it in google later. Given that you guys are using google maps this is just bizzare. The only thing this app is suppose to be doing is display correct distance and then calculate speed and such from distance/time. How could it miss so badly ill never know, uninstalled.
Really wonderful; running with background as well so no tension it would stop in middle, calculated the distance exactly; suggest to some more features like pulse rate, speed rate virtual way plan; traffic and pollution rate through Bluetooth if possible that would make the app in top position
GPS is way off. The first time I used the app everything was fine. I was ready to pay the annual price. After two weeks of using this app, the distance it shows me running is off by at least 50%. I'll run 4 miles and the distance on the app will read 1.2-2.5 miles. Time to move on, life is too short to waste time on this app.
My furst run with this app and the result couldn't have been more wrong! Firstly, this got my jorney completely wrong despite 100% GPS coverage. Secondly, it stated that I ran 1.17km when in actual fact it was 3km, and thirdly, the calorie count was also way off. Could be a one off but not willing to give it another chance after failing me first time. Sadly, now deleting.
Its pretty good but its not pinpoint and therefore my mileage recorded is off. It has me zigzagging through yards and at the start of my run its not even close to the route I actually took. I honestly dont care if the map is correct but I think because the map is wrong it throws off my mileage data.
It is showing inaccurate pace and distance, because I have noticed that it shows my pace 7,8 and when I recorded the run on different day with Adidas Running app, it showed me around 10,11. And I have been running with the same speed as usual, little difference is understandable but it's too much. Even, in distance, with my same 43min plan this app showed above 5km. And Adidas Running showed around 4 km. Please, look into it guys. I have also shared this issue on your feedback page.
There must be an option to add activity manually. I have already started workout 3 days ago and I know those distances and timings, and I want to add those data manually. But there's no such option in this app.
This was my best jogging app but this days it no longer works. It's stops reading the distance covered at 1.3 kilometers and yet I go for a minimum of 10 kilometers. I've even set the app to operate all the time. You need to fix this
Iv never thought of myself as particularly sporty, I'm more of a type 2 diabetes kind of a guy, while this app doesn't really change that, it is useful to give me a baseline to measure progress, or lack thereof, against.
While running App randomly stops to ask if you still running... Then gives the incorrect distance. So you constantly need to check the app when running. This started with the recent update.
You can't edit information if the distance calculation is off. This is a major flaw. I also have a run that is 3km long instead of 8, despite my the GPS being accurate on the map. I don't know how that is possible but I can't correct it with data from another run on the same course for the reason mentioned above. I will move to another app because this is a dealbreaker for me.
