  1. 5/5Terrific App

    I’m getting back into running after many years off. I’ve tried all of the current crop of apps. Nothing is as flexible and configurable as this. Although the Apple Watch app is not “stand-alone” (bummer since I have an Apple Watch 3), the screens are beautiful and customizable. Audio cues are customizable. In addition, the training plan is infinitely customizable. To be fair, it’s generic for say a 5k/10k and doesn’t have a “dynamic” component (where it’s modified every week) With others (mapmyrun, Runkeeper,) it’s surprisingly difficult to modify plans, switch a run from one day to another, etc.... I don’t know why this app isn’t more popular. As someone who has spent a bunch of time comparing the options ( including the premium versions) this was the best fit for me. Please pay the modest fee for the Elite version and continue to support it!

  2. 4/5Best running app out there

    I’ve been a Garmin guy for the past 15+ years but decided to see if I could switch to my Apple watch and be as happy. I tried a bunch of apps but didn’t find one that I liked better than my Garmin until this one. It does EVERYTHING and then some. My favorite feature is one that surprisingly few apps offer, the ability to compete against your previous times on a rout (ghost runner feature). This is something Garmin has always had and I’m glad to see in incorporated into this app. The only thing lacking is the ability to use it as a stand alone. Currently you have to take your phone along for the ride. I don’t have a problem with this, it fits nicely into my running belt, but I know others do.

  3. 2/5Changed my review 👎🏽

    This used to be a 5 star review from me. My go to running app. These guys just don't get it anymore. Apple Watch support but you still have to bring the phone?!? Talk about a disconnect with your user base. Not only that, these guys have about zero customer support. I'm so sad I've moved on from this once great app. Just take a look at more recent reviews than the overall rating. Much more disappointment than in the earlier years. Update: Upped it to two stars ⭐️⭐️ The developer mentioned importing my info from the Apple Watch. Indeed you can, but you can only access that feature through a paywall, where other running apps just include this from your initial download. I did in fact pay to see if it works well and it does. I just wish I can use this app on my watch without my phone. If the developers can at least give us an update on the app and if they plan on working on a standalone app for the watch or even if it’s not in the cards.

  4. 3/5Should you buy? It depends ...

    It is difficult to rate this app. I bought it due to the shameful lack of run apps that have a lap feature. In my excitement to purchase I neglected to see in the reviews - not in the description- that to use the Apple Watch you need to carry your phone. I bought the Apple Watch so I could run without a phone. So, if you are like me, this will be massively frustrating. (I’ve only used the app once because of this.) Lots of cool screens - if you can read them. The one time I was able to use the app I found it difficult to read all but one of the screens while in motion. No doubt they are slick to look at when you are sitting on your couch. Good luck trying to see data at a glance. This review does not cover any of the other notable features (e.g., plans) because I truly only wanted a GPS app with a lap feature I could use on my Apple Watch - again, without carrying my phone. I’ll keep looking for it.

    I love interval data · 6 Aug 2026

  5. 3/5Lots of potential

    First, they get 5 stars for support. I couldn’t get my Polar heart rate strap to work and I emailed them. Got a reply in less than 30 minutes, on a weekend, with a fix that worked. Pair it to the phone, not the watch. Unfortunately the heart rate does not update very often on the watch app. It seems to only work when the phone is unlocked. Beyond that, the app has tons of potential. Great stats for running and walking. However, the interface really needs some help. All the right info is there, but it’s not pleasant to look at or use. On the watch screens you have to scroll to see all the info. I also enjoyed the running plans, the interval training features, and the emailing of runs to let others know where I am. If the heart rate screen worked better on the watch I maybe would have paid the yearly fee. If it had that plus a better interface, it would be easy to pay for it. I’ll check back later to see how it develops.

    Siri & Shortcuts, reimagined We've overhauled our Siri and Shortcuts integration. App Shortcuts now install automatically — no setup needed. Control Runmeter hands-free: • "Hey Siri, ask Runmeter to Start" (also: Lap, Stop, Discard, Reset, or Done) • "Hey Siri, ask Runmeter for Distance" (also: Time, Pace, Speed, Heart Rate, Power, Grade, and more) Examples: • "Hey Siri, ask Runmeter to Start" • "Hey Siri, ask Runmeter for Average Speed" • "Hey Siri, ask Runmeter for Grade" • "Hey Siri, ask Runmeter to Stop" Heads up: Any Shortcuts you created previously will need to be deleted and recreated. Wind and road noise can prevent Siri from hearing you, so commands work best when stopped or moving slowly.
