You need your phone with the Apple watch ??‍♂️??‍♂️

I bought this app, online it states using the Apple Watch app is a great, but I couldn’t find anywhere it states you need to lug the phone around too, ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️

Incredible application

The combination of superb engineering and refined software is incredible for this app. Well worth every penny and more. The power features are kindly enabled with a subscription so the initial cost can be kept low. The level of customization and flexibility to customize this app is far greater than i could ever use as a hiker, runner and cyclist. It complements Apple’s native apps and works incredible well with the watch. The developer and user support is also exceptionally good.

Inaccurate to a fault

I don’t know why no one else has mentioned this yet, but the pace measurements are all over the map (literally and figuratively) in this app. I’ve been using this for a while and I’ve observed the following behaviors on a number of occasions: 1. It often stalls out and stops registering any change in time or distance 2. When it is working it often reports inaccurate information. For example, on a slight downgrade of a hill it reported that I was running a 5:30 pace, then on an equally slight upgrade it reported I was running a 10:00 pace. My pace was actually about the same on both hills. I’m not that fast, and I’m not that slow. At one point during my run it reported that my pace was 0:00 for about a quarter of a mile, at which point I turned it off and uninstalled it.

Used to love this, but no AW3 support.

I absolutely loved this app. Too many awesome, easy to use features to even list here. Been using it for years. But I bought an Apple Watch 3, and wanted to leave my phone at home. Too bad the Watch app only works if you have the phone on you! No thanks! So I will be abandoning this wonderful app after so many years. Please, please upgrade the app to use with the watch independently so I can come back!!!

Intervals don’t work with Apple Watch independently

Nothing else to say. All I need is an app that has an interval timer and a run tracker! Thought this app was the answer! No Soup!!!!!

Probably being unfair

But I want to use this app without my iPhone in tow. I have a Series 3 watch with cellular so in principle the app should be able to have all the connections needed to work on its own without the phone being there. I just can’t believe that there is no app to be found that duplicates the functionality of a Garmin Foreunner without bringing my iPhone.

Problems constantly

Runmeter is the most advanced running app. But if you do anything with your phone or watch other than Runmeter you’ll have some problems. If you like music on your runs, fahgetaboutit. It just doesn’t work as intended nor ever consistently. Simply put, I’ve been working with Runmeter for 6 years now. Two years ago I gave up exclusive use and stopped depending on my running mates to forward me their workouts for correction. It just never really worked. Since growing up and getting a Garmin device, I can at least use that and still use Runmeter to compare. I like that Elite will log weather data. But when your running app doesn’t do anything but the tertiary Wx logs, it isn’t really a “run meter” at all. I’d say 4 years of hard work to make this thing work is enough. If you just run and just use your phone to run Runmeter, *maybe* your mileage will vary. Good luck. You’ve been warned.

Excellent running app

I'd rather have great data than a social network of cheers while I run. This is the app for me. Watch integration is great. Pushes to Strava for more data analysis. Support is amazingly helpful and I’ve never been able to think of something I wanted to do that this app doesn’t have a setting or way to accomplish for tracking runs, hikes, bikes and more. - reliable - speedy - fast - powerful - great integrations with other services and apps - health app and workouts are ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's ya boi

Mileage is off

disappointed_runner

I have used and loved this app for YEARS and recently, my mileage is off for every run. The shorter run, I don’t really notice. For my recent half, it was over by 1/2 mile. It then impacts your average pace that it’s telling you in your ear which for this same race, it was off by 30 seconds - which is a lot. Today I ran 6.5 miles and again, it was off. So disappointing Bc it’s been my go to running app for so long :( I only gave it 3 stars bc of how long I’ve been using it.
