Runner's World Go App Reviews

Poor execution, logging runs is buggy and hasnt logged my last two runs after me saving them, manual logging wont do it for the right days. what to wear is nice. But why cant we choose what day to start a running plan? Why cant we skip days or move them forward or repeat weeks as the plans suggest?

Great concept and app but it wont let you pick your own start date. It annoyingly starts the program the following week. I want to start today!

I love the idea of the app! Has a lot of potential...only issue I have is the "What to Wear" feature. That particular feature seems to "glitch out" selecting a garment and flashing that one garment on/off, not allowing you to switch to the others. Cant wait to use it to its full potential.

They want you to give them your email address so they can sale it to others. If this was not the case, they would provide a statement saying they would not before asking for it.

This app has some real potential, but needs a lot of work after playing with it for a few minutes. What to wear is a great idea, but has a bug that flashes the suggested items. The app is suggesting a plan based on my "goals", which I was never asked about and cant find where to edit any goals. I hope RW continues to improve the app. Until then, Ill be sticking to alternatives and definitely not paying a monthly subscription.

The major issue I have found is there does not seem to be a way to adjust the running plans. No way to pick a start date, no way to tell it you cant do a particular day of the week, etc. I also cant find a way to schedule my own plan. Other running apps ask you what days of the week you run and when you want to start. And some of the Beginner running plans expect you to be able to run for 30 minutes! That is not beginner level. This app is a lot less useful than Endomondo, GarminConnect, or Mapmyrun. Very disappointed in Runners World.

I really like this app but it would be much more useful to me if you could change your long run days to Saturday, since that is usually when I do my long runs.

Summary: Workouts are great but bugs in the app are killing my training. I used the trial version of the “Break 3:30” marathon training plan. It was challenging but solid. The workouts have sufficient rest in-between harder workouts and I believed I was making great progress towards my goal of breaking 3:30. I went ahead and paid for a subscription when the trial version ran out. All was well until the 12 or 13 week mark. The app would tell me my trial had run out and I needed to buy a plan. When I tried to buy one, the app correctly informed me that I had already paid and all was good, with full access to my training plans. After about 5 days of this, all my training plans were erased. The app is running me through this cycle of “Buy a plan…oh, you already have one…buy a plan…oh, you already have one.” I’ve deleted and reloaded the app, restored purchases, etc. Nothing is working. RW support has not responded to online queries thus far, and attempts to call RW has been unproductive. It’s disappointing because I really think the workouts are great. I really believe I’m in a position to reach my goal…if only I could access the rest of the training plans. If I were in week 3, I’d be ok, but I’m more than 75% into a training regimen and can’t afford missteps.

Could be an amazing training tool, unfortunately tracking is horribly wrong, crashes a lot resulting in runs not being able to save causing training log to be off. Hope Runners World can make some major improvements for their runners.

First time I used the app it only tracked 0.08 miles of a five mile run. Disappointing.

Thought this would be great for tracking my runs for the run streak. Tracking wasnt even close to being right. It was 1/4 mile off. Cant blame my phones gps because run keeper tracked it just fine. Disappointed that I cant use it.

I started the Runner’s World winter 2015 challenge today so I set up this app, I mean it’s a running company their app should be awesome... They have a lot of nice training programs in the basic free version. I opened the app to start my run and decided to also start my Nike+ Running App (I’m doing challenges) simultaneously, glad I did! Ran a quick 5K on my treadmill while watching the games. When I was done I double clicked my home button to move from Nike Running to RWGO to stop my run there also...and RWGO tracked a whopping 0.08 miles (even though I specified kilometers in settings). The only thing it measured correctly was the time of the run (so yes it was on). LOL! I reported the problem to them so hopefully it will be fixed.

My first use was a bust. Im trying to take the 37 day Thanksgiving to New Years--I walked 2.09 miles according to Nike and RWGO app??--.11 miles. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

This is my third day using this app. I downloaded the app for the Thanksgiving to NewYear running streak. Upon set up this morning I noticed my run from yesterday was gone. I had to re-enter data but the map/splits were no where to be found. I started it up this morning for my run anyway and four miles later found it only recorded the first three minutes and distance if 0.3 miles! Im deleting this piece of junk. Dont waste your time on this app. Im sticking to my faithful Garmin F15. Good job runners world. Great concept but terrible execution.

Three runs and it hasnt tracked any of them. I like the plans, but its pointless if the app wont track the runs correctly. I had higher expectations for the RW running app.

Past 3 runs disappeared. Severe delay accessing features of app. Awful.

Very bad app wont let me sign up it said my email was wrong I was like what??? And then I was like oh... Someone stole my email! Someone probably fat.☹️☹️☹️ looking at this app downloads it signs up saying,"Oh lets do a random email because I dont have an email." And then that fat person took my email!

Doesnt log my runs anymore and cant tell what its doing.

I thought this app would be great since its from Runners World which in my mind was a pretty good running resource. But its like they didnt even test this app or think about how runners might use it! As people have mentioned the tracking is off....of all the things runners want an app for thats the most important!!! You would think they would have tested and got that right! Also....their suggestions for what to wear while running are laughable.....for instance its 40 degrees this morning and it thinks I should wear shorts and a tshirt?!?! I dont think so.....this app has the potential to be useful....I just hope they fix it by run streak next year which is why I downloaded it in the first place.

I purchased this app to begin a training program. Used it the first time today to track my warm up walk. It was at least a mile off on my distance. Hoping for better results tomorrow, but based on the other reviews, Im not betting on it
