Nearest to perfect of all such apps

The developers did a great job on this app, and continue to do so. Just look at the version history to see that these people care about their product and continue to maintain and update it.

The interface is clean and legible, which is obviously especially nice during a run when it is most difficult to read the screen and possibly interact with the interface.

Their hardware support is great. Their export options are great. I wish that they could export to Polars sites, but that is purely Polars fault for blocking anyone elses uploads.

My current favorite feature is the cadence alerts and support for Bluetooth stride sensors. The app can be set to alert you if your stride gets too long (i.e., your cadence drops too low). Itll duck your music and play a metronome that you can try to match with your stride. It really works to support actively retraining my bad habits.

I also love their Pebble integration. (And a bunch of other hardware integration.) This app is clearly a labor of love from the developer, who is clearly both an avid athlete and a power-user geek.

Ive tried a bunch of these apps, but this is the best all-in-one running (and other similar exercises) app. And, best of all, you pay for it upfront — none of this trick you into a series of hidden surprise in-app purchases. Instead, it is completely an honest and open transaction.

Try them all, but I think youll find this one is the one. (At least for now.)
