This app is extremely useful to find good places to run in a new area. It found all my local routes straight away!

Excellent app. The UI/UX is simple, easy to learn and adapt to. The web page is also easy to use for mapping your own routes. I’ve found when executing the route, it randomly “pause”, usually when I lock my phone screen. When re-open the app, it would ask to “resume” the route, but I’ve gone further already. The turn-by-turn nav would be a great feature, but also rarely work. I want to request new feature that let the user manually add a turn prompt on the planned route. Example: at way point 2, an option to add a prompt to turn left, right, or keep straight.

I love the idea of this however the route planning is bad. You can’t use decimals and the suggested lengths are not “normal” running lengths ie. 3.1, 6.2, 13.1 etc. Many routes it comes up with are no where near the length you chose. I searched for a 9 mile route and I was getting 15-20 mile routes. Only 3 were near the 9 miles requested. The routes have me crossing over major roads where there is no crosswalk. One road has traffic going 50+ mph 4 lanes wide and the app wants me to cross that. I would love this app if the routing were better and if I could edit the suggested route to avoid roads I know are unsafe to cross.
