Running Walking Tracker Goals

Love this app! I only have the free version but that’s good for me because I’m not really an athlete. I just like to track the 5Ks that I walk around my neighborhood. I like that it stores your history and it shows you a map of where you walked. BUT… most importantly!!! Sometime in the last year or so there was an update that if something interrupted your walk or work out, you could actually RESUME IT! I was so excited, I can’t tell you how many times I interrupted my workout by putting my phone in my pocket, when I was deleting other apps that I had open and accidentally swiping and removing my workout while I was in the middle of it ,….so frustrating! hands-down that is the best thing about this app but it’s a really great app

I tried 4-5 apps before landing on this one. The good: captures well the results, works well on the Apple Watch and shows nice graphs and reports. The voice feedback is great. Could improve: the watch app has many screens and even though you can reduce their number, you cannot get to a single screen on the watch with the data you need. Pausing and resuming is a problem (say when you cross a street) bc you don’t get voice feedback so you don’t know if you succeeded and I ran while in pause mode for a mile before figuring it out. Also stopping the run is a problem because with your sweaty finger at the end of the run you need to scroll left to the screen with the stop button. As a result it’s harder to get a correct HRR reading. Finally in the graphs you cannot zoom in/out. But, it works consistently and after trying several apps, this is the one I’d recommend.

If you want to have some app tell you how to work out then this is just another one of those, of which there are 1000s, but if you need a customized workout including HIIT, this isn’t the app, but good news: Intervals Pro is for you! I thought this app was special because it allows custom interval trainings and I have had trouble finding apps that allow me to work out my way. But alas it doesn’t allow them on the Watch. So this is just another app promoting their way to work out. Your tactics are deceptive. After hours of research and choosing your app for Watch I signed up for the free trial only to find that custom workouts are not supported in Watch mode. This should have been made clear instead of promising the world of I tried it. I’d have given you 1 star if you hadn’t at least offered the free trial so I can bail out after spending half an hour configuring for my workout. I’m so tired of the pre-programmed workouts and promos for trainers and app upgrades. I want to work out the way I want to work out. Keep your programmed workouts.
