RockMyRun - Workout Music

I’ve never been much of a runner, but I’ve been challenging myself to go farther and harder; this app has been instrumental (no pun intended) in reaching my goals! I began with the free trial, and fell completely in love. The mashups are fantastic, the selection of music is incredibly varied and everything is expertly mixed. I love the way one song leads into the next, never lingering too long in one spot. The variety is perfect and frequent change ups keep me going even when I’d like to quit. My free trial is up, but even the little voiceover ad that comes on isn’t bad at all. You get nonstop music for a solid 15 minutes and then maybe 10 seconds of info on the subscriptions. I’d say paying is definitely worth it for the perks and added user bonuses, but the free version is fantastic as well. Five stars all around!

This app is exactly what I need to increase my running pace, since I am all about running in sync with the beat. I love that you can adjust the BPM to the pace you want, and there is a wide range of music genres to suit almost every taste (especially 80s!!). It was worth it for me pay for the subscription, for how often I use it. BUT - the last app update removed the song names/artists from the playlist and now all you can see is a handful of “featured artists.” Not until you are actually listening to a particular song do you get to see the artist and song title. Why?!?!? This bugs me to no end. I want to know what I am signing up for when I hit play before a long run and I don’t want to have to change stations mid-run because I’m not into it. Relatedly, it would be great if you could jump into a playlist mid-way rather than always start at the beginning. I’ll never hear the songs at the end of some of the longer playlists and I get tired of some of the ones at the beginning. Finally, I continue to see that the artist/title gets out of sync mid-way through many if not all of the stations, telling me that I am listening to a song we haven’t gotten to yet or that was two tracks ago. These are minor annoyances but their improvement would greatly improve my experience!

I’m a group fitness instructor and have used the app for the past year and a half. So when preparing for class I would look at a new playlist and I would be able to see song names and artists. But now when looking for a good playlist you cannot see the song names just a HANDFUL of artists. Are you kidding me? How can you gauge anything with just a playlist title??? On top of that you are limited to 6 skips per hour. So if you start a playlist and you hit bad songs (not knowing they are going to be in there because you don’t knows what you get even though you are PAYING for a subscription) may the odds be in your favor it’s only a couple with in the hour. Also if you get to the end of a playlist it used to play other songs. I don’t know if it was the next playlist in my list or similar songs or whatever but now it’s a long awkward silence so I highly recommend not to use this for group classes until that gets fixed. The app WAS good for a while. If the app was free I would understand but not worth the money now.

I’ve been working out for years - off and on. When I’m on, I used to make custom mixes with specific BPM and intervals to help me get through workouts. I’m not normally a rah rah person - but I’ve got to give RMR kudos. This is a great app. Finally finally finally I have found an app that is better than doing it myself. The mixes are very well done, and the ability to filter on BPM, music type, genre, and workout rally does help you find just the right mix. I did the free subscription and then I paid for the service, because you know what, it’s great. And if something is great and you want to say so, you should say so with your wallet. I’ve voted. It was money very well spent (though honestly, it was pretty inexpensive). Oh, and p.s., I’ve recommended this to a couple of friends, and they all agree it is the best music app they’ve found.

This has got to be one of the most disappointing and frustrating apps I’ve ever used. There’s always been small issues and bugs, which I never really minded because I really enjoyed the playlists and being able to adjust the tempo. However, this latest update has ruined the app for me. At first I just had issues with the station I selected not playing the correct set of songs, which was incredibly annoying to figure out. But today I opened the app to find that almost all of my favorite stations gone! Those playlists I loved so much, and that kept me coming back, just disappeared. They don’t appear in search and I can’t find them anywhere. There was no notice, no acknowledgement that they were deleting stations, they were just gone. Now, I don’t know if I’ll keep using the app, I’ve just had it with all of these issues. I would definitely recommend looking for another app rather than put up with this.
