Strengths
What users love
- Simple launch with no sign-up
- Voice pace and distance alerts work for some users. The app is free and requires no subscription.
Weak spots
What users hate
- GPS records 1.6 km for an actual 5 km run
- This is a systemic problem
- Not an isolated case. The workout disappears when you switch to music. Settings crash the app on iPhone 13 Pro.
Who it is for
Beginning runners who just need a timer with a basic distance count and no training plan.
