Map My Run GPS Running Tracker

I’ve been using this app on and off for over 10 years and I love it! It’s taken me through 4 half marathons. It’s compatible with my Apple Watch and makes it easy to change tracks on my watch while in the app on my watch and running. I have friends I connect with and it has a user friendly activity feed where you can scroll and rapidly view distance/time/pace of what you and your friends have run during the week. I love that you can add pictures to the feed. Seeing your friends activity inspires you to run and it’s great if you have similar goals with those on your feed. And it’s great even if not. It’s fun. Some suggestions for the app: When I leave a comment on someone’s run it notifies them to view it, however it does not notify me back if they responded to the comment. If I was wondering if they responded on the app then I would have to pick through and find where I commented to see if they responded. Secondly, when I initiate the app through my phone there’s a delay in my MapMyRun app on my Apple Watch to pick up that I’ve started a workout already (not sure if this is MapmyRun’s problem or not). If I initiate the workout on my Apple Watch it does not communicate the splits through my Beats headphones (probably because they are synced to my phone, not my watch?). Again, that may not be the apps responsibility. But just some things I’ve noted. Overall a great app to pair with running training.

I’ve been using this app for many years. I even bought an Apple Watch as a companion to this app for running, biking, and walking the dog. I like that it communicates with myfitnesspal But here’s the rub. When this app is installed on my Apple Watch, it starts itself, runs in the background, and kills my watch battery before the end of the work day. A watch that does before the end of your work day is not very useful. I have to go I. To the phone and kill the app, then kill the app on the watch, and even by then it seems the Watch has opened the app on the phone again already. I spend 10 minutes fussing with it when I notice it’s doing that just so that I can make sure my watch battery won’t be drained in 6 hours. It’s fine when I remove this app. It’s even fine some of the time when I have the app on. I don’t run with my Apple Watch anymore because of this app. It’s pretty annoying. I’ve talked to support about it and they basically shrugged me off and said they’ve never heard of anyone else having that problem so it must be me. It’s a great app if they can fix that glitch, but until then, I can’t use it with my Apple Watch, which I bought specifically to use with this app.

I have noticed since the most recent update that something must have happened to this app. Wondering if a rep from the company would read this and get back to me? Have used this app for a year + and most recently for training for my half marathon for the past few months. So so disappointed as the last couple days when I tried to use it it pauses itself and I don’t know it. Wasn’t able to track a 10 mile run with numerous attempts of restarting the app and had to guess at my distance which is so so heartbreaking after all of this training. Also the app was already going when I launched it the other day? And it paused itself again and I closed it out, but all the sudden about 20 minutes later it started reading out my stats. Which was only five seconds because that’s when it had paused itself the last time I had tried to use it. Today when I tried it it didn’t even display numbers for the time or distance, it just showed dashes. I updated again this morning and I also deleted the app and then re-downloaded but no change. I’m so disappointed, and I was counting on using it for the half marathon which is in six days now. Help! I do see that option to get help with the app, but I would still like to reach out this way as well.
