All around best running app

Elacke

I've used Runmeter for 7+ years and hundreds of run locations. It helped me train for my first marathon and as I hiked in preparation to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. I will miss this app when I move to android!


Sometimes stops for no reason.

Been using this app of and on for a few years. Yesterday was the last strike. The app stopped recording for no reason


Been using for 6+ years

I still love this app! Gives me all the data I need and more. I enjoy running with the Apple Watch and am looking forward to leaving my phone behind once that is possible with RunMeter. For now it's still easier to look at my Apple Watch for updates and info rather than the phone strapped to my arm. This is the only app I gladly pay a yearly fee for. A fabulous app!


Why are there mini game ads? I paid for this app

I paid $5 for this app. And there are ads now. I'm requesting a refund


App stops tracking

Nick5609

App stops working the second the phone screen goes to black. Not usable. Update: I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. After doing so it is working now. Works on both my series 2 watch and phone 7+ The developer did reach out to me and offer support.


Working with a couple issues

fbicking

Update 4-1-2017 So I have been able to get each of three apps to work but there are a couple things to making it work. First I have two series 2 watches and always would leave the three apps in the dock. This will not work. It has worked up till the latest version of IOS and WatchOS. Also finding that if I change watch shortly after using and app I need to reboot to get it to work again. Again this has worked till now. I could ride for 3+ hours with watch one, get off the bike change watch for fresh battery and jog. This now requires a reboot of the phone or the apps will lock up. Not a huge issue other than it slows the transition in training. I do recognize that a high end Garmin could do all this but I have been happy doing this with Apple Watch and these apps since series 0. Original review For the first time in about 6 years that I have been using the three apps from Abvio I am leaving less then 5 stars. There was 7 betas of IOS 10.3, how could not one of the three apps be ready and stable? I would be fine if you all communicate with your elite members but you don't. I am an elite subscriber to all three apps and all are broke and unstable on 10.3. Maybe send and email out to not update or here is a idea get a Facebook page and put up and update. Since I jog 3 days a week, cycle 3 days a week and walk on my recovery day I am hoping for a quick resolution. What I have done to try and fix the problem. Uninstalled all three apps from my phone and watch. Rebooted both phone and watch. There does not seem to be any way to make the apps stable. I get dropped heart rate, dropped distance even though it tracks on the map. Also the apps on the watch will crash and restart for no reason. I will add my weightlifting software works fine and tracks heart rate perfectly under 10.3 on my phone and watch. I downloaded and tried another running app and it tracks fine.


Seems nice, but...

John Galth

This app seems to be full of features, but there's no way to test without paying the $10 anual. I can't make sure that it will work for my needs (like: does it vibrate the Apple Watch for alerts if I want no sound?) A 3 day trial would make me buy it.


Please make use of the iwatch gps

Abx213

I downloaded this app as soon as I purchased the iwatch series 2. I paid 10$ for the elite which unlocks the entire app, comes to find out the app is dependent on the freaking phone if you want to use the watch ⌚ please add GPS for the series 2 iwatch. Update: used the app twice (I had to carry my phone on my run) because I do use the iwatch, despite that I must say that the app is impressive, lots of info, please add GPS function for the watch ⌚ then it will be perfect ? and another thing that's getting to be VERY ANNOYING 3 out of 5 of my runs when I go with my iwatch the app for some some reason don't connect with my heart monitor on my watch it says health restricted it but when I check on my settings everything is connected to my apple health.


Best run app I've used

Breckster81

I love this app. I've tried other, way more expensive apps, but Runmeter comes closest to providing everything I want in a running app and for way cheaper. It is highly customizable, even on the Apple Watch, and easy to use. It also provides all the data from a run in one place - without having to swipe to different pages. It doesn't make use of the GPS in Apple Watch 2, but hopefully that's a feature that will be added soon.


This App is Terrible

Russypelican

When I bought this app a couple years ago I spent a few dollars for it on the understanding that I was getting a premium ad free app. A few months later they added ads and demanded a yearly subscription to get them removed. Total bait and switch. I kept using it from time to time despite the constant ads for video games I will never buy in a million years, but now it has become buggy too, crashing mid-run. I'll take a look after an hour of running to see how far Ive gone, only to discover that it crashed long ago and stopped recording my distance. I hate this app. Hate it. I have deleted it and my phone seems cleaner and better for it.
