Beware -wifi only app
l8rSunshine

For the first time ever i purchased a running app and was so stoked to use it! I am getting ready to head out on my run, setup my playlist, go in to set up the app to start running...... and it doesn’t work, gives me a login error tells me to reboot my phone and try again, so i do annnnd still doesn’t work. So i go for my run and figure i have a setting wrong in the app and will check it out later. I get home, and the app opens perfectly fine and gives me the options screen!?! What the..... so i try again on my next run and same result -login error. Ok what in the heck is going on? I get home and again no issue, so i look again through my settings to find no visible option i did/didn’t choose. Only difference from my run and home is i am connected to wifi at home. Not good

It doesn't work with Cellular

WIFI only App. It used to work with cellulite. But not any more. I reinstalled this app quite a few times and even changed different phones. I saw another user also reported this issue. I'm pretty sure the bug is on the developer side not users. Please fix it.

Great.

This app has really helped me get in shape. It sets out very good walk/run/jog times. A criticism is that the timing for the voice that tells you to walk/run/jog is off by a few seconds. I’d appreciate it if it told you to walk/run/jog at a more precise time. Other than that, this app is a fantastic addition for any runner.

Great for Physical Therapy to Reintroduce Running

I love the versatility of this app! As others have said, it gives you audio notifications (as you listen to your own music) as to the next step in your running training program. It’s very similar to an app I’ve in the past with one big, amazing exception... I broke my ankle 4 months ago and have finally been cleared by my physical therapist to start a walk-jog program as I get back into running. Each week I am supposed to increase the time I jog and decrease the time I walk, similar to any C25k program, only at a much, much slower progression. I love the fact that this app allows me to create running programs at the exact intervals recommended by my physical therapist. I can save each program and title them individually, which is both convenient and so helpful in my recovery. When I had asked my physical therapist beforehand if an app such as this existed, she said she didn’t know. I hope RunTrainer makes their app known to more physical therapy professionals so they can better support their patients. My only negative critique, similar to what others have mentioned, is that I’m not sure how accurate the GPS/mileage is (or kilometers—they have both units of measure). When I first played around with the app, from the comfort of my own couch, it measured that I had moved 0.1 miles during that time, when clearly I hadn’t moved much at all. I’m not sure how accurate my actual jogging mileage has been without a second device to compare. This isn’t a big deal to me, as I’m just trying to start running for longer time intervals. But this may be a very big deal to other, more serious runners. All in all, a game changer for me. Thank you!

Perfect application
Tsigan Vlad

Thanks! Very good application. Works when display is off and plays music in background.

not free
lhjrbowl

The app installs and you have to pay for everything....bad advertising it as a free app.

Starting to run
Dijaba

2011 will be a good sports year for me. I've been testing some features and all works like a charm. When running with a training schedule the app instructs to walk or run and for how long. All features are free except the Training Schedules which comes with nice instructions. You can check your next step and saves all training sessions.

Only for iPhone

I purchased one of the workouts and it can't be used because it requires gps signal only available on iPhone.

Pretty good
Reeses247

The app times you and everything, but then u have to buy the packages for the certain length runs. Seeing as the app is free, though, it's pretty good.
