Running Trainer: Tracker&Coach

I never write reviews but I wanted to address something that seems to be overlooked and would greatly improve the app in my opinion. For running, this app is five stars. It has always worked correctly, no glitches, and is exactly what I need. I purchased everything, all the running plans and the meal plans. My issue is with the recipes included with the meal plans. I love how you can choose what eating style you want (mine is Paleo) and you have meal plans set up for you. It’s pretty awesome and the food is really good. I made a smoky bacon chili recipe that my son said was the best he’s ever had. The problem is that the recipes just aren’t accurate. I made a baked salmon with honey Dijon and honey Dijon was nowhere to be found in the ingredients list, nor anything to make it with. I used a ready made honey Dijon I already had (not Paleo) and the recipe just didn’t come out right. I’m sure my improvisation was the reason. Today I looked up another salmon recipe that calls for oil but it is also nowhere in the ingredients list. No type and no amount whatsoever. I can guess how much or what to use, but fixing this issue would easily make this app five stars for me, especially since I purchased the lifetime option. It’s a little annoying when you grocery shop for your ingredients then are surprised in the middle of cooking dinner with an ingredient you don’t have. Thank you!

This is simply the best running app of them all. For starters, its simple, beautiful and just works great & accurately, every time. It doesn’t ask me for my email or facebook account like all the others do. The app itself is really gorgeous, and very simple to use. I just hit the start button and everything is automatic. It’s not overloaded with silly features no one needs, like the other apps are. The distance and pace tracking is very accurate, and I could very easily change the display to have it show me what I want in a really large font so I could actually see it really well while I was running (with the phone on my armband its not easy if its not large) I like seeing distance and pace first, but they also have calories, time, etc. At the end of the run they have their splits section which lets me see how fast I ran each section of my run, and their map is color coded so I can easily see the speed of each part of my run. I also love their heart rate zone display - really professional way of showing where I strained the most. They also have advanced running programs which look really cool, and I will probably buy their weight-loss plan soon. Last point, the way they let me share my run to facebook is really funny and cool (and they don’t ask for my account, they let ME post). Well done guys. Love it.

So I am 14 year old runner that runs about 20-25 miles a week but sometimes more, but this app really suited me, the overall simplicity of this app made it really easy to track exactly when i did the run and all the details about it. there are no glitches with the app but there are a few things that would help make the app better. The first thing is that it would help a lot of we were able to save a certain route that we went on. it’s not a huge deal but would be very nice. The second thing that would be better is if when you stopped running for more then let’s say 5 seconds, (like at a stoplight or crossing the road), it should stop the timer or laser without having to go into the app and stopping the timer. because where i love it rains half of the year and when my phone screen is wet and my hands are numb in the cold, by the time i get into my phone and pause the workout i have to start running again. The last thing that would be better is if when you press start workout, it have a 10 second timer until the workout starts, so if there was a setting to adjust how much time it would take to start the workout it would be much appreciated. Over a great app tho and would recommend to any type of runner.

I really do like this app. It is the best running app I have used. Everything is simple and straightforward. Setting are easy to change from the workout screen info to the feedback info. I like the layout of the workout history too. There has never been any confusion about how to use this app! The only issue I have noticed is I need to start this app a good 15 seconds or so before I start my run. This allows the app time to sync with the GPS on my iPhone. If I start the app and start running right away it won’t record anything but time elapsed. Not a big deal to wait a few seconds but something to be aware of. The only reason I didn’t give this four stars is because it doesn’t record elevation change. I am a trail runner so elevation change is something that is important to me. I keep trying other apps that do record elevation change but I keep coming back to the simplicity of this app. I hope a future update to this app will include elevation changes. Please!?

I have had the app for over two years. It worked well for the first few months, but then failed to complete my runs with me. It would stop working anywhere from less than a tenth of a mile into the run to almost 6 miles. It generally stopped recording at less than a mile. Why do I still use it when it fails so regularly? It has a beautiful screen layout and lists the previous runs very nicely. Unfortunately I had gone to the trouble of adding my lifetime runs, so that more than 30 years of runs were stored in the app. Perhaps that led to its problems, but I speculated my 16 GB iPhone 6plus was the culprit, and replaced it with an 11 pro max with 512GB of memory. The app still fails to record an entire run. So, I start an UnderArmor run tracking app (it has not failed yet!) simultaneously with Fitness22’s Run Tracker and edit the true run from UnderArmor into the Run Tracker, and so maintain an up to date running log in the beautiful app. I had contacted Fitness22 about its failure, but without resolution. Perhaps a bad review will help them address the issues I am encountering!
