I want to like this app but...
I have used the Wahoo Fitness app for over a year now with a lot of success but it is more geared for cycling. So I was really excited for the Runfit app that would be more run oriented.
I do most of my weekly runs on a treadmill, but I do a long run outdoors on the weekend. All runs are done with a Wahoo Run HRM. I also have started using the 7 minute Ab workout that is included in the app once a week before my run.
I will start with the good.
Features- this app allows you to export the data pretty much every where. So you can sync it with MyFitnessPal, Runkeeper, MapMyRun, Strava, etc... No problems with this.
The 7 minute workouts seem to work great. The only problem I have with them is some times it will start to randomly count reps even when I am laying still or in plank. Note I always select to turn off rep counting but it counts anyway. This is annoying but most of the time I find it funny.
Indoor running or walking still great. This feature is an improvement over the Wahoo Fitness app as it will also do pace while walking. Indoor pacing only available with the Wahoo Run/X. The pacing seems to be very accurate on the Wahoo Fitness app it would normally be off by a quarter to a half a mile after a 5 mile run. This app is only off at most a quarter so far. The only problems I have had during my runs is sometimes I will accidentally double tap the HRM and music will start playing despite there not being any music controls in the app. Also even with the audio announcements turned off it still gives you an audio run report at the end of the run.
If I was giving a review on just the above it would be 4 stars. They have minor bugs but for those functions the app is still great.
Now the ugly.
I have had nothing but problems with the outdoor running feature. Today I ran 12.7 miles and it crashed after 0.16 miles. I would have noticed this on the Wahoo App because it syncs with my Casio Bluetooth watch. Unfortunately this app does not support said watch. So when I run with my phone in my race belt I do not have any way to get an update from the phone without pulling it out which is a pain. I would like to say that this crash was the first but it was not. Of the 10 or so outdoor runs I have done it has crashed on over half of them which I believe is unacceptable.
