I really love this app! In my opinion, it is by far the best fitness tracker app. But I change my review from 5 to 3 stars for the really poor wearable support. Sports-Tracker doesn't work with most fitness bands & smartwatches. This means you have to use multiple apps, which is no long term solution.
This app was great, is now trash. I guess they deleted my other review. You used to be able to use this with GPS only while using the app, now they are forcing you to use it full-time GPS meaning that they're going to take this information and sell it so this app is now trash.
Much better than strava! you can view live stats on the go which strava is missing. Maps are way better.
Can you please stop asking for background gps to be on at all times. Every. Single. Time. I look at the app it displays the message. No matter what I select.
I have used Sports Tracker regularly for several years now, and have enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunately there is a new bug. Some weeks ago, I bought a new phone, and ever since the Tracker stays on "Paused" mode and therefore "on" between exercises, k.e. 24/7. The app is also glued to my puah notifications list (as "paused") as useless clutter 24/7, although I am not using the app at the time. Hoping this will be fixed soon. Otherwise the app is great.
If the app stops after a while it's usually your phones energy saving settings. I think for a free app it's extremely versatile and the best free tracker I found. As a wish list I would like to be able to customize list of sorts of sports somewhat: - be able to choose favourites, - be able to extend it or choose from more sports, Why not all we could think of? At the "sports tracker" server you give it some ID, and we can search by alphabet. Users can propose new sports and you can give it an ID. Popular sports get their luxurious own icon. This is what they should do at Garmin as well. In my opinion it's better than choosing for "other 1" or each individual user changing each activity manually.
I've been using Sports Tracker for a year or so. I originally used Strava, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. Sports Tracker checks all the boxes, and does it for free. There are no must-have features locked behind a pay wall. Unless you really need the different map types. My favorite feature, by far, is the in-app route planning.
I'm completely blown away with the amount of information this app delivers to the user. I use this daily for commuting, leisure, and long distance rides (I use it only for cycling). The ability to map routes with pinpoints, view side by side comparisons after a session, and personalize screen information & layout has made this app easy to use and hands down the best out there! One thing I would like to see in future updates is a more colorful screen to look at during an activity. Well done!!!
I'm not really into sports, so I don't know anything about the competition. But when it comes to this app, it definitely does more than expected and everything I can imagine I would need. It measures distance very accurately, average speed, allows notes from every round and even had the option to look no to images taken while running.. or otherwise exercising.
Great app that I've been using for 10 years. Recently bought the heart rate sensor that they aggressively advertise (Smart Sensor by Suunto specifically for the Sports Tracker app). One of the key ADVERTISED features of this sensor that it works in water and could be used for swimming. After testing it I learned that it does not. Suunto tech support did not help and recommend to contact Sports Tracker, which I did. They confirmed that it can't be used for swimming. Huge disappointment...
