This app was working great until about a week and a half ago now it keeps saying it can't find GPS even though I'm running the same exact route that it was tracking just fine for months. The few times that it does start it will stop about 5 minutes in and say that I've completed my run without me ever touching pause or stop. I was happy with this app but its time to find another.
Reviews for ASICS Runkeeper – Run Tracker
Been using this for over a year, nothing too serious, just recreational running. Been good to me. Sometimes, the gps does not work properly (e.g. I'll run the same route but it will show different distances), but I don't know if that's a problem with the app or my phone. I reached out to customer service with a question and they were quick and helpful!
As of late I get message that app is not responding properly. Overall I am pleased with the app, but it's frustrating when i get that error message. And sometimes when it finally "works" it does not keep track of calories burned. Seriously, a 3+ mile run/walk and no calories burned? 05/11/24 - The last few months it hasn't tracked progress on challenges. Asks if I want to join even though I've already joined at the beginning of the month. Very
I hated it, it made me so frustrated, I would go for a long run, and i would use this to track how far I traveled and how long it would take me, but it would continuously cut me off way too short!! It would stop tracking after .05 miles or even .33 miles for no reason, i know for a fact the problem was not on my end, but I just kept restarting the running tracker and it would still just stop for whatever reason. I'm done with this app, my profile is now filled with runs less than half a mile.
The app certainly has some nice features. However, perhaps they want users to sign in with Facebook or whatever to monetize their data, but as far as I can tell, if you have a standard account you created with RunKeeper, there is no way in your account settings (either with the app or online) to change your password! Nor is there a way to contact customer support to ask to have your password changed. Seems like a non- trivial security issue to me, which is why I only give them 3 stars.
For a free app, I highly recommend this product. I am considering purchasing the pay version, considering how much enjoy (and rely) on this version. I live in a less-than-favorable area currently and there are many hills, and I often venture on small, narrow trails to avoid people. The app's GPS tracks me very well. Recommend.
I have been using this app for years and in general am quite happy with it. I just do the free version. My biggest complaints is actually the lack of more common feminine issues that can be marked when you note that the run isn't great. Would love to see categories like 'hips' and 'pelvic floor' added to the lineup. Or for all -- 'mindset/mental'. These issues are more impactful in my running than the options currently available.
Installed to log mile times. Constantly stopped tracking, so I looked at my phone after not hearing updates to see that it hadn't tracked anything and the app telling me to give them money for pro. Terrible experience Edit: Tried again, still doesnt track activities correctly. It doesn't matter how the GPS is doing if it randomly decides to stop the activity whenever it wants anyways. Choose this app if you want to spend more time looking at your device than exercising. Anything is better
I actually paid for this app. Bought it because I want to start running regularly and the My 5k program seemed really useful. I love the coach, Erin, and her voice isn't annoying at all. The issue is that the workouts don't load properly. Currently sitting on my couch (again) waiting for the workout I already did to play through so I can go on my run. Who wants to spend an extra half hour waiting for an app to load in the early morning before a run? Hopefully they resolve this annoying ass issue.
Good run-tracking functionality, and I like that it allows you to program your own intervals. The guided runs are okay, but I find the trainers talk way too much, to the point where it gets annoying. It also automatically lowers the volume of your music for the entirety of the run and doesnt give you any option of changing it, which is unacceptable IMO.
