It seems with the most recent update that the GPS is not working accurately anymore.
I always come back to this one.

I rarely write reviews but this is a very, very good app. I look forward to a watch complication one day but other than that it fills my every workout need and has since 2012.
Don’t waste your money

I got this in order to hear my stats. Unfortunately the accuracy is shocking. All the values, time, pace and distance were way off compared to my Garmin Fenix, e.g. the time was 25 min off, pace 7+min per mile off.
Outdated watch options

Have used all three apps for over 6 years so have enjoyed what they offer. I have never minded the yearly fee for the three apps. I figure a fee gets you continued development. That said hear we are with the Apple Watch 4 coming in a week and still no stand alone support for the watch. As phones have gotten bigger I have been wanting to leave it home. At this point if they do not announce stand alone support at least coming by December I will spend December testing other apps and move on for the first time in over 6 years.
Finally - An app to replace my Garmin!

For a while I’ve considered retiring my Garmin 305. I’ve used that for years with the Garmin training center desktop app and liked the data I saw on the device and loved the ability to track the detailed workout data on the app. Garmin stopped supporting the app years ago. And with each os upgrade it got flakier. I also was wanting to ditch the chest strap heart rate monitor. Most of the replacement Garmin options were either expensive and or the device seemed to be outdated. Plus, you have to search for faces to present the data you want to see. I wanted to consider a Apple Watch, but their workout didn’t provide the data I wanted to see. Runmeter is the missing link. It provides an easy way to define screens by tweaking one of theirs or define your own. That coupled with the accuracy of the Watch Series 4 (gps version) biometrics, gps, and other data made this a solid choice. But then you have all the smart Watch features on top of this! I prefer the iPad interface for viewing my workouts. The larger display just is easier for me than the iPhone version, but I do use the iPhone for setting up the watch. I just sync it over using iCloud. I like how the data is presented and the user interface was fairly easy to learn and navigate—but I am a techie. A few criticisms—sharing the data between devices should be more seamless. Also, importing my old workout data was painful as it can only import a single workout at a time, some each had to be saved and imported separately. But, that’s a one time adventure. I am very satisfied with Runmeter plus the Apple Watch as a replacement for my Garmin over buying a new 935 or Fenix 5. At 53gm (44mm aluminum version plus silicone sport band), It’s much lighter than the Fenix 5 and just a few grams over the 935. And again, you are getting more general features. Overall, I have been very pleased with the iPad app and now with the Watch app. For the price, the Elite version is a bargain, especially as you get iPad, iPhone, and Watch for a single price.
Does not support stand alone watch use!!??

What a waste of a great app. I hate carrying my phone on the run. What is the purpose of having a watch app that requires you to carry the phone.
No Standalone Apple Watch Support

It’s buried in the details, but it really should be more obvious because it makes no sense. It’s a beautiful app. Very full featured, but some some awful reason, it requires you to lug your phone with you.
Poor Watch Support

They have chosen not to support stand alone support for the watch despite being available for a few years now. I contacted their support and they said it was Apples fault and have no future timeline for adopting stand alone running with Apple Watch. Strangely I have now been able to switch to several other third party apps that have been able to support this so their response to me seems interesting.
Music during running

All of a sudden I can’t listen to music while the app is running. I hope this is a bug and not on purpose
