Really love this app! I started using it to track exactly where I was walking, and now I wouldn’t walk without it. I love the motivational voices, I use the Boston guy, and he’s so funny- I laugh as I’m walking when I hear him say something like ‘great job kid, you’re making your mom and pop proud’. So funny! You can choose different voices, and set the volume and time for responses (so you can choose to have it update you every 10 minutes, or 15 or 20, etc.). I also like that you can pause the app, if you’re walking to the shops or something, and want to pause while you shop. And it’s really good at tracking where you walk, so I get accurate maps of my walk.

I really like this app, and it generally works really well, but for the last couple months I have consistently been having an issue where my training plan will tell me ‘this is a partial week plan, full schedule will begin on Sunday’. Originally it would do this if my plan has three workouts and it gets to the point in the week where I haven’t done one yet and there’s not enough days to do three, but now it will do this randomly out of nowhere. Today is Sunday, I received my new workouts for the week a couple hours ago (there were three), and I just went to look at them again and now it says it’s a partial plan and there’s only two. I have had to restart my training plan about ten times in the last three months because it kept taking my workouts away. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling but nothing has fixed it. I don’t want to move away from this app because I like it and I’ve paid for Runkeeper go, but at this point it’s ridiculous and I’m starting to consider it.Edit: this issue has persisted for me, but I’ve started to encounter a second issue as well which is that the GPS tracking just does not consistently work for me. I’m not sure if this is a fault with the app or the fact that my phone is a few years old, but the app often cannot find a strong GPS connection or will lose its connection halfway through my run and start telling my I’m running anywhere from 2min/km to 57min/km. This makes it exceptionally difficult to track workouts as it will often tell my I’ve run anywhere from double to five times the distance I actually have.

I really love this app - in terms of its plans, what it monitors and the data and feedback I get back. Seem to keep coming back to it for these reasons. However two things that really need to be worked on and annoy me - more often than not my Apple Watch never starts working when I commence a run from my phone. This is infuriating. There is some sort of communication breakdown - despite installing and reinstalling etc etcThe other huge deal breaker at present is adding Facebook friends. I have emailed regarding this several times but something is seriously wrong with this function. Seeing your friends running is a big motivation in getting fitter. Tonight I found a friend who uses the app. We both managed to find each other and supposedly add each other. But the status on both our phones said the invite was pending???? For the most part Facebook friends of mine using the app never appear when I connect facebook. I have emailed about this several times - been told it is being escalated somewhere and then never receive any definitive actions or solution. Very disappointed by this. Wish the team would spend some time fixing this up once and for all

I live in metro Melbourne and at the start of every run the app tells me it cant get an accurate location, so I wouldn’t trust it for speed or distance if you’re a seriously training athlete but it’s perfect for someone like me who just wants to get a rough idea of distance I’ve gone. I mostly use it for giving me 5min interval notifications while out for a run so that I can make sure I run for the amount of time I want to without having to check the time constantly, as I’m not too worried about achieving a distance or speed. I don’t use the other coaching features and I don’t enjoy the ‘run reminders’ setting either where it hassles you to go for a run if you haven’t been for a while, but others may find that helpful. It’s good that there are lots of options. I also like that you can rate your run and take notes at the end to help with tracking training or an injury etc. Overall it’s very good, best running app I have found for my needs, which are pretty basic.
