RUN — Running Club & Tracker
rating aligns with reviewsRUN offers a clean minimalist tracker with a design focus. The main complaint repeats across users: an update made the interface slower and more cluttered, losing the very core it was known for. GPS sometimes diverges from the map. Pausing breaks the route track, which compounds distance errors on long runs. Shoe tracking and My Plan are subscription-only. Cadence data is not available inside the app, you have to open Apple Fitness.
