RW Fail

Bad tracking. Crashes. No voice cues. No music integration. Very disappointing considering its from Runners World.

Horrible app.

First off I should have read the reviews. But since I am a runners world fan I did not think I would have to. Like most reviews I agree the tracking is horrible. Thank god I also use NiKe-running or I would have lost my 7 mile run this morning. RWGO tracked 1.4. I run this route every morning 7 miles is 7 miles. Looks like RW will be sent to the trash, where it belongs. Too bad because it seemed promising. Very disappointed runner.

Very disappointed

I am very disappointed in this app. First there is not a way to manually enter your runs. I dont like carrying my phone with me on a run. I use a small iPod to listen to music and time my run. This app requires me to carry my phone with me. Second is the training plans. I was excited to see this feature until I found out you had to pay for them on a monthly subscription. I very much preferred the old Runners World Training Log. This app is useless for the most part....

This app does not work

Multiple issue with tracking a run, miscalculation of pace, and would not correctly track my Runners World streak challenge. A waste of time.

Was very excited...

Ive been running a long time and reading Runners World just as long so I was pretty excited to try out this app. I like that the training plans, calendar, and recorded runs all connect. Or rather I would like it if it actually worked. Theres lots of potential here but its not something Ill keep using if it doesnt work! I logged a run today and was happy up until the point where it just totally disappeared from the app (but not before it synced with mapmyrun).

App is of no use

When you try to renew the plans they Dnt work, it constantly hangs , and the customer service is also poor , no reply to any trouble on the app.

Frustrating

Liked it at first, but it all went down hill. It does not work! It keeps telling me to subscribe when I have just paid for it. It has potential but seems like its not ready for runners to use. RW

Disappointing

I was excited to see an app from Runners World with training plans. However, I was unable to access plans after my first month subscription expired even though I renewed. I also had trouble saving runs. This app is not ready for market.

Could have been good...

Runners World, shame on you. Youre a big corporation and youve been around a long long time. I wanted an app from you so badly, but it actually has to work. This one doesnt. It doesnt save, it doesnt give me beeps at intervals, either mile markers or the intervals at which Im training. It drops out in the middle of runs. Please dont make me go to Under Armor, they are new… Im old. It is my hope youll respond to these negative reviews, make the changes that need to be made, fix the glitches that need to be fixed, and have a good quality product like we all expect from Runners World. In the meantime, I will be looking for a new app in the likelihood you sit on your corporate laurels.

Disappointed and Frustrated

This app has crashed multiple times. Ive uninstalled, reinstalled, re-subscribed (3x) and its crashed yet again, this time on the final week of a running plan. Super disappointing because Im jacked up to finish the 7th week. Even after resubscribing again, I cant access my prior progress or my upcoming final week of runs. Argh. Too bad for RW because I would gladly pay the $3 per month to have access to this service if it was reliable, and I was hoping to start another running plan to advanced my training, but Ill have to look elsewhere. Maybe Nike has something, based on another review here?

Fix is in

The app has been updated and now works as intended. Thank you Sam for answering my questions and keeping me updated as the update was being worked on. This app is worth a second look.

Doesnt record run

I am starting to run again after an injury, I started the app,ran, then finished. I saved the run. But this app says I did not run at all today. So its not useful. Im gonna go back to run test dick. (Siri translate for Runtastic)

What to Wear doesnt work anymore

Downloaded the app for "What to Wear". Worked great when I first got it, now it doesnt work at all. It shows the correct weather, but constantly blinks in & out & changed what pieces you should wear. Disappointing

Awful

I was 5 weeks into my training, I logged out of the app and once I logged in, it went back to zero weeks.m

Not measuring distance

I like the integrated running plans but the distance measurement is not working. Would like to see a fix for this. Thank you.

Great Schedule Poor App

This is by far the worst running app. I have lost progress in a 10 week running plan multiple times. What to wear is inconsistent. I wish I would have paid $5 for a pdf. I would have had a better experience.

Worthless app

This is a sorry excuse as a replacement for the Classic Training Log. I much prefer RunMeter for tracking and the Classic Training Log for logging. You guys really messed up.

Doesnt log distance beyond .2 miles for me

I have tried to use the app during runs, but when Im done it has logged time, but distance is at .21 miles. I cant seem to even log the run manually. With so many great running apps available, why would "the runners world" app be unable to log runs?

Cant look at plans

I dont want to purchase a plan without being able to see if it even is something I can use.

Love the plans, app is terrible

Just went on a run, tracked with the app, then it doesnt save over to the plan. I have to enter the numbers from the run I just tracked in the app. Syncing with mapmyrun still doesnt transfer data over. Dumb app.
