Sports Tracker: Run Bike Hike

I have been using this app for years, so many years I can probably say since the very first smart phone was introduced. This app was flawless in the beginning, then it went through a phase where I just shelved it. The updates were not coming fast enough for the iPhones and it could track it’s way out of a paper cup. But I will say this it has features other apps don’t and it’s ease of use or should I say user friendly platform is relatively solid. I went back to using it the last few years without any problems. It definitely has its quirks but it is always there when I need it. It’s an app the world is not going to end if it skips a beat. Give it a try but definitely learn how to use it and use its inline PC platform.

I’ve been taking evening walks after work in my hilly neighborhood for years but I’ve only really known the time I put into this activity. I’ve had a vague sense of the distance, but with this app I can see how fast I’m walking, how much altitude I gain, how many steps I take, etc. I I didn’t realize that I’m often going three or four miles each evening, with a variance of 200 to 600 feet of altitude gain. Now that I can see all of these details, it seems like much more of an accomplishment than I realized. I also like to try and outdo myself to try and go just a little bit faster when I repeat each of my different routes and the app shows the comparison. Love it!

I use this tracker for everything I do. I used it when I was backpacking in June on Eagle Rock Loop in Arkansas it actually saved us from getting lost a couple times when I would check where we were I would see our track looking like a pretzel then we would get back on course. Sometimes the map wouldn’t be in the background but it still tracked all of our steps and I could see our line. Once we got back on grid, the map loaded and it was really cool to see our route. I love all the info it gives from your workout as well. Great app!! I highly recommend it.

I’ve been using this since January of this year per doctors orders. Since I had another stroke, he wanted me to walk at least 5 miles a week. I also had to prove to him. Go figure! Sooo, the first of month I show him my progress. It’s been 8 months now and I’m on track. Not sure what I would do without this app. It’s saves my life and keeps my doctor off my back. He also thinks I lying.. :-). Anyway, wish I could pay for the whole thing, but I’m on disability. So it’s going to take awhile. For this to happen. Great App! Richard J Bowden

Terrible interface, too much going on at the same time, very confusing. The major flaw is that after an activity is finished, you need to go through several steps to save it. The “save” button is right next to “discard”, and it’s very easy to accidentally hit the latter and loose the information. Why not save each activity by default and then have an option to delete it if needed? I have been very careful with saving the activities but sometimes it would still lose all the information! Did I accidentally press discard instead of save? Or is the app doing something on its own? Frustrating. I also noticed several times that the trajectory it traces did not follow the actual route. Lots of adds doesn’t help make it look better. I’m going to switch to another app.
