Awesome!!

Just ran the blue ridge relay (209 miles with a 6-man team) over 28 hours. Had all 6 of my legs downloaded onto the app. Since there are no cell service in the mountains, I had the option of having the maps downloaded to the app. Having the Apple Watch app as well allowed me to view my turns on the watch while listening to the audible cues from the phone on my armband. The app worked flawlessly for the entire 36.5 miles I ran. All I can say is, good job developers. Good customer support as well. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Great new app, still needs work

This has some great features. Tutn-by-turn directions are awesome when traveling and running an unfamiliar route. However, there are two major issues that will keep me from using this every day: 1. No HealthKit integration - I cant integrate my workout results w my other training 2. Background app support - i stopped to take a picture of a moonrise and the run was completed when i switched to the camera app Other features lacking that would really make this great: 1. Apple watch heart rate recording 2. Auto-pause 3. iTunes integration- auto-pause music If the major issues are resolved, i will change to 4 stars. With the others (or some other feature i didnt even think of) maybe then 5 stars.

Love this app!

As an avid runner this app is great for my travel habits. I look to it to find any trails in my area which works out perfectly. Super convenient. I also love that I'm able to keep track and log all my runs.

Needs work

This app needs the ability to list the routes that you have created so that they can be accessed in the app.

Nice Idea but needs some refinements

Whenever I go to a new place one of the first things I do is look for places to run. This app is exactly the thing I need to explore running routs in new, unfamiliar places. The app,while its a good start, needs some work. It's not very accurate on the turns and it doesn't do a good job warning you when you go off the route. Although it seems like the intent of the app is for the user to simply listen to the turn directions, I find that you really need to look at the map occasionally to avoid going the wrong way. Like I said before it's a good start but definitely needs updates.

Best thing since running shoes

I've been running for 13 years. For 12.75 of those years I've run out and back since I didn't want to forget my route part way through and be stranded. Now, I can run new routes every day, explore new parts of town, and generally have a great time. No need to remember if I needed to turn on Main Street or 5th Street, because the app just tells me. The only times I get confused are typically just when I'm starting and can't remember if my route ends or starts in a certain direction and then on very rare occasion, I get a little nervous on long stretches, wondering if I've missed a turn. Overall, this app has made running a completely different experience. No long out and back, now exploratory. I highly recommend it and huge kudos to the developers. P.s. Get rid of the pacing and time tracking. Just give me a full screen view of my map and my route and let me easily drag the map around to figure out where I am. You're never going to get me off of Nike+/Strava - my friends are there and we compete - but you CAN monopolize the audio run guidance market and insulate yourself from future efforts in the same space.

Simple

All I wanted was turn-by-turn navigation while a stranger in a strange land. It did what I wanted. That's all. I charted a course on a map with the mileage I wanted, and took off. It worked. Next run, I found other bells and whistles. It was great. "Two thumbs up."

Good Idea, but poor excecution

Mcolizzo

This app works very well, but it doesn't quite understand what Ct. (court) stands for and was very confusing at first. Also, it seems to not have very good navigational skills, if you are not starting at the exact starting point of the route. It also knows where you are, but sometimes give directions from the past that it should've given to you previously. Overall, a pretty good running tracking when you're running ins new area, but it could definitely use some serious work.

Perfect!

Love this app. Been waiting for one with turn by turn voice and it works great. Plus it provides me interval timing for my run/ walk intervals.

Nice app

Very nice app! I will get a lot of use out of it. I would like to see a feature that allows the map to rotate such that the direction of travel is always oriented to the top of the phone. Keep up the good work.
