No metric support!!! My running coach sent me to the track for a high intensity workout but I couldn’t express her “100 meter” or “400 meter” instructions in the app because I had to choose from 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile distances!!! Easy fix - replace scroll bar with text input and let me do the math to express 100 meters in miles. Add this feature and I’ll update my review. ❤️🏃‍♀️ PS there is an option in settings to switch from “English” to “Standard” - does English = Metric? In any case I couldn’t get this to work despite trying multiple times. PPS not everyone has email on their phones! There should be an email form on your web site. Okay I’ll update my review to four stars since you have the feature I need but honestly. It is well and truly buried!!!

But right now it’s just barely cutting it. The watch + iPhone setting just does NOT work. The watch app in watch only mode works as expected. Any time I try to start the watch + iPhone (from the watch) it just displays no info on the watch and the iPhone app sits at the start run screen. Don’t cut and paste your standard check your settings faq either. I’ve checked them all. Smashrun... I love your website but you might want to consider a “ymmv” statement when recommending this app right now. Update: I got the watch and iPhone app working together by starting the outside runs from the phone NOT the watch as shown in the faq. However, treadmill plus this app = fail. It constantly repeats stats, goes to auto pause when auto pause is disabled and doesn’t record the pace or distance correctly on a treadmill. The watch is recording the correct info and can be seen in the watch records. It’s the app.. right now it’s working ok for outside runs and that’s it. I’ll still use it over Nike’s nightmare though. It sad that the Apple Watch is such a running tool failure.

Updated to new version (6) Audio cues have gone wonky with this version. I’ve spent the last 2 days trying different setups and found: iPhone speakers + watch in iPhone/watch - Yes BT headphones + watch in iPhone/watch - No BT headphones + watch in Watch only - Yes Normally I would lay the blame on my inexpensive BT headphones but they worked fine before the update and continue to work because music is piped through when the workout starts. This issue is app specific. Please investigate. Old review All in all, I love this app. I've been using it as my primary run tracker for a couple months now. Pros: great feedback. From in-run feedback to post-run data galore, this app has it. Apple Watch touch and go. Start the app from your watch then go when you want...it'll pick up when you need. Cons: Watch app hangs sometimes, not consistently. I'll be running and know the phone app is still running (music) but I'll tap the watch screen to check my stats and it is frozen. Personal peeves, not real cons: when starting a workout from the watch, I'd like to be able to select from a couple of defined runs instead of being stuck with the run that is selected on the phone app. I'd really like to start an open ended Ghost pacer run. No pre-determined time or distance, I just want to go out and run at a certain pace. I can work around this using an absurdly long run time or distance but that's not the same. Still, great app...well worth the money.
