Overview
Runkeeper is a fitness app designed to help users track their running sessions. Developed for Android, the app offers a range of features including GPS tracking, customizable training plans, running commentary, and the ability to capture photos and notes during your workout.
Features
Runkeeper provides users with a variety of tools to aid in their workouts. GPS tracking allows for precise measurement of distance covered, speed, and route taken. This feature has been notably improved in recent updates, with users reporting a significant increase in accuracy.
Customizable training plans are another standout feature. Runkeeper offers a range of training programs designed to help users achieve specific goals, such as running a 10k or losing weight. These plans are adjustable, allowing users to tailor them to their unique fitness level and schedule.
The app also includes a unique running commentary feature. This provides users with verbal updates during their workout, such as remaining time or distance. Users have responded positively to this feature, noting that the motivational prompts are surprisingly effective in keeping them engaged and motivated.
Lastly, Runkeeper allows users to record notes and take photos during their workout. Photos can be associated with a particular run, providing a visual record of the user's progress. This feature, however, seems to have been changed in recent updates, with users noting that their stats are no longer displayed on the photos as they were in older versions.
Usability
Runkeeper is praised for its simplicity and ease of use. Users find the interface intuitive, making it easy to navigate through the various features. The app is also noted for its compatibility with music apps, allowing users to listen to their favorite tunes during their workout without any interruptions.
