Run Keeper : Running,Marathon
doubtful ratingAn app named Run Keeper (not to be confused with Runkeeper by ASICS) that offers basic distance and time tracking. GPS accuracy is low by reviews: one user had a 1-mile error, another saw unreliable speed readings. No training plans, no audio coaching, no ranked stats. Free mode functionality is limited without a subscription.
