Trash App
Krinksta
If you value accuracy and intuitiveness don’t purchase this app. The first problem is it doesn’t accurately record information. The app recorded an indoor 3+ mile run at 30 minutes as .01 miles for 7:00, laughable. Further, the watch auto pauses mid workout, even with the auto pause feature turned off. The user interface is just as bad and makes it painful to create structured workouts. Wouldn’t trust this app to record anything accurately.
Replaced my beloved Garmin!
The techy runner
I have been using a Garmin 910XT for years and love it. However, the lack of LTE capabilities meant that I had to either carry a phone while running, or be unable to communicate during long runs. The stock fitness App on the Apple watch was insufficient for me, but this ismoothrun app on the Apple watch has the features that I need for marathon training and racing. 1) Start / pause (or lap) by pressing the crown and button on the Apple watch. (Garmin has more hardware buttons, but one hardware button feature is enough for me.) 2) Download complex interval workouts to the watch (even easier than Garmin Connect workouts) 3) Accurate GPS (as good or better than Garmin during my tests) 4) Easy export to Garmin Connect 5) Good enough battery life, more than 50% battery remaining after a 3 hour workout. I was ok with the Garmin interval beeps and vibrations, but I do prefer the voice commands from ismoothrun. If not for this ismoothrun app, I would have bought the new Garmin LTE watch. But with ismoothrun, the Apple watch becomes about as good as a Garmin for a marathoner, and a much more capable device overall. The only reason I would use a Garmin now would be for ultra running training or races that require more than 5 hours of battery life. For everything else, I am using the Apple watch and that's because ismoothrun is so good. I rarely write reviews, but this app is so useful for me that I wanted to share my positive feedback.
Mileage way off

I read great reviews and bought this app. I’ve used it twice on my watch. Both times the mileage and pace were way off. My last run showed 4.5 miles, but I’d only gone 3.
Great...Sometimes

Does not sync with other apps as advertised consistently. Currently, no authorization approved for Garmin Connect despite multiple attempts to sync the apps. Also, no support or way to contact the company / app developer to remedy customer inquiries or requests.
Too many issues
JTDreamchaser
The auto pause keeps turning my runs on and off but at least I could that feature off in the settings. Although it would’ve been nice if it worked properly. GPS never tracked any of my runs accurately. It was hard to hear the walk/run intervals. And if you want to hear your music playlist then it turns your music app and it runs continuously despite pausing or even ending the run. I’ve asked for a refund but haven’t heard back :(
Great potential but too many glitches

I’ve used this app for about 2.5 years and most issues have stayed the same. Starting a run from my apple watch series 1 was almost impossible but even with the series 3 it still takes on average 20-30sec. While it doesn’t matter on training runs, it’s certainly upsetting during races. At times the app will also auto pause my workout while running and then switch back right away. I do love the ability to customize your workouts exactly the way you want to which may take some time initially but is definitely worth the effort. I hope the developers will at least fix the delay/synchronization issues btw apple watch and iPhone.
Excellent App

Does everything I wanted. Allows me to code intervals and then announces them so I do not have to look at the watch. Exports to Strava contain the data I want. One thing to note, if you are having troubles getting the app to work, try restarting your watch. On my series 4 it would not work correctly until I restarted the watch, no problems since then. Support was responsive, answering my question within 24 hours.
Best Running App Ever
Bing125
This is by far the best running app I have ever used. It allows you to program any type of workout that you can think of and then sequence them to optimize your performance. I use this app to run the FIRST training program and it is like having a personal coach. I can’t recommend this app enough.
Rowing

Like the simple yet powerful design. Would be great if this can also record workout on rowing machine(concept 2)
