User Reviews for Runmeter Running & Walking GPS

Runmeter motivating and modifiable.

Great for the data driven. Pairs with my Wahoo heart rate strap. The premium service is a bargain and we’ll worth the price. Most importantly, I can make custom work outs. I love to run intervals and I can set up interval runs of various time or length segments. I can choose what announcements I get and when. My only complaint is that it would be nice to be able to set up multiple repeats. I can set up a run 1 min/walk 30 sec x10 workout easily, but if I wanted to follow that by a 30/30 x10, I would have to set the whole thing up manually (doable, but tedious).I’ve been using this app for years. I love it. I find it amazing that I’m the only one who ever mentions it in my running groups. Highly recommended.

Best running app out there

I’ve been a Garmin guy for the past 15+ years but decided to see if I could switch to my Apple watch and be as happy. I tried a bunch of apps but didn’t find one that I liked better than my Garmin until this one. It does EVERYTHING and then some. My favorite feature is one that surprisingly few apps offer, the ability to compete against your previous times on a rout (ghost runner feature). This is something Garmin has always had and I’m glad to see in incorporated into this app. The only thing lacking is the ability to use it as a stand alone. Currently you have to take your phone along for the ride. I don’t have a problem with this, it fits nicely into my running belt, but I know others do.

Best I’ve used

I live in an area of limited cell service. Literally none in my driveway. Unlike others this running app does not require me to have cell signal to at least start and finish my run. Yes I do pay the optional small annual subscription $9.99 currently so I don’t have to wait for it to load advertisements, which it can’t do without a signal. The subscription also provides extra features such as automatically detecting a pause when I am waiting to cross a busy street or such. Unfortunately the indoor step detection is never even reasonably accurate despite advice on how to make it more so. But I only run indoors in a blizzard or squall so not that big of a deal.

Should you buy? It depends ...

It is difficult to rate this app. I bought it due to the shameful lack of run apps that have a lap feature. In my excitement to purchase I neglected to see in the reviews - not in the description- that to use the Apple Watch you need to carry your phone. I bought the Apple Watch so I could run without a phone. So, if you are like me, this will be massively frustrating. (I’ve only used the app once because of this.) Lots of cool screens - if you can read them. The one time I was able to use the app I found it difficult to read all but one of the screens while in motion. No doubt they are slick to look at when you are sitting on your couch. Good luck trying to see data at a glance. This review does not cover any of the other notable features (e.g., plans) because I truly only wanted a GPS app with a lap feature I could use on my Apple Watch - again, without carrying my phone. I’ll keep looking for it.

I love interval data, Jun 13, 2020

Lots of potential

First, they get 5 stars for support. I couldn’t get my Polar heart rate strap to work and I emailed them. Got a reply in less than 30 minutes, on a weekend, with a fix that worked. Pair it to the phone, not the watch. Unfortunately the heart rate does not update very often on the watch app. It seems to only work when the phone is unlocked. Beyond that, the app has tons of potential. Great stats for running and walking. However, the interface really needs some help. All the right info is there, but it’s not pleasant to look at or use. On the watch screens you have to scroll to see all the info. I also enjoyed the running plans, the interval training features, and the emailing of runs to let others know where I am. If the heart rate screen worked better on the watch I maybe would have paid the yearly fee. If it had that plus a better interface, it would be easy to pay for it. I’ll check back later to see how it develops.

Good app, but persistent issue with Music

I’ve used the app for years, and while I really enjoy it, it seems to have a persistent issue with the iphone music app. The Runmeter will usually stop working correctly if one starts fiddling around with the music app during a run. I have, in the past, notified the developer of the issue. They did respond quickly and request data from my phone to help them identify the issue. The did acknowledge an issue after reviewing that data. However, they requested further data/access from my phone that I was not comfortable sharing, nor did I have the incentive to get into a project with them. So the problem persists. Having said that, everything else about Runmeter is pretty good

Inaccurate to a fault

I don’t know why no one else has mentioned this yet, but the pace measurements are all over the map (literally and figuratively) in this app. I’ve been using this for a while and I’ve observed the following behaviors on a number of occasions:1. It often stalls out and stops registering any change in time or distance2. When it is working it often reports inaccurate information. For example, on a slight downgrade of a hill it reported that I was running a 5:30 pace, then on an equally slight upgrade it reported I was running a 10:00 pace. My pace was actually about the same on both hills. I’m not that fast, and I’m not that slow. At one point during my run it reported that my pace was 0:00 for about a quarter of a mile, at which point I turned it off and uninstalled it.

Changed my review 👎🏽

This used to be a 5 star review from me. My go to running app. These guys just don't get it anymore. Apple Watch support but you still have to bring the phone?!? Talk about a disconnect with your user base. Not only that, these guys have about zero customer support. I'm so sad I've moved on from this once great app. Just take a look at more recent reviews than the overall rating. Much more disappointment than in the earlier years.Update: Upped it to two stars ⭐️⭐️ The developer mentioned importing my info from the Apple Watch. Indeed you can, but you can only access that feature through a paywall, where other running apps just include this from your initial download. I did in fact pay to see if it works well and it does. I just wish I can use this app on my watch without my phone. If the developers can at least give us an update on the app and if they plan on working on a standalone app for the watch or even if it’s not in the cards.

Terrific App

I’m getting back into running after many years off. I’ve tried all of the current crop of apps. Nothing is as flexible and configurable as this. Although the Apple Watch app is not “stand-alone” (bummer since I have an Apple Watch 3), the screens are beautiful and customizable. Audio cues are customizable. In addition, the training plan is infinitely customizable. To be fair, it’s generic for say a 5k/10k and doesn’t have a “dynamic” component (where it’s modified every week) With others (mapmyrun, Runkeeper,) it’s surprisingly difficult to modify plans, switch a run from one day to another, etc....I don’t know why this app isn’t more popular. As someone who has spent a bunch of time comparing the options ( including the premium versions) this was the best fit for me. Please pay the modest fee for the Elite version and continue to support it!

Useless without Elite Upgrade

I've been a runmeter user since 2013 or earlier. I upgraded to Elite in 2014 when it was a reasonable $ 4.99. Then, in 2017 I STILL upgraded to Elite when the priced doubled to $9.99. It's actually a great app, but without the Elite upgrade, it's pretty useless (to me, anyway). Here's why. I went for my first outside run in 2018 and didn't notice my Elite upgrade expired last week. I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with my heart rate chest strap. It turns out you need ELITE to measure your heart rate. You're kidding right..? Nope. How about just measure your steps..? Still need Elite. I didn't take the time to detail everything you lose without ELITE but for me, if a running app can't track my heart rate or at least steps, I'll just switch back to my fitness band or use a HR watch with my chest strap.
