The thing I like most about this app is that it is just the basics. No fancy features, no social networking. Just tracking of my activity from my phone with no external devices necessary. Because it is just the basics it does not require much resources and does not drain the battery. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because it does not seem to track elevation. I would have hoped that since it uses the phone GPS it would be able to log elevation as well.

Excellent training companion providing information on effort, duration, and fitness levels. The best bit is that it records all sessions and provides the impetus to train harder next time. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and colleagues. The ability to have treadmill walking is not just running but an advantage. Especially so as I have recently had an ankle replacement, so I am using the treadmill for rehabilitation and recovery training.

Horrible GPS based information. The app has been misinforming me about the distance I run each time. It inflates the distance by around 10%. Horrible. Horrible. Been reading that it's been like this for ages and yet can't be fixed. Will be moving to a different provider. Update: I did as suggested by support and still distance covered during exercise is inflated around 5% compared to apple watch and compared to runna app which uses phone GPS. Both runna and polar share battery saving settings.
