About this app

Go for a run with voice navigation guiding you along the way, or take on a race. RunGo is the running app that gives directions.

Looking to find or create and follow a running route? Hands down, the easiest way to stay on track and enjoy your run is through customized, turn-by-turn voice navigation.

Important updates:
* New onboarding messages, to make sure location, battery, and speech settings are on properly
* This will allow RunGo to work when the screen is off: run tracking and voice messages
* Please make sure "Location permission" for RunGo is set to "Allow all the time" or "Allow only while using the app"
* Please make sure "Battery usage" for the RunGo app does not have background restrictions
* Please make sure "Text-to-Speech" is set to "Google Engine"

Please contact [e-mail] if RunGo is not working as you expect.

RunGo is the most popular running app featuring turn-by-turn voice navigation.

Build your own route, or select one of the 850,000 routes or verified routes worldwide, and follow a voice-guided tour, including every time there's a turn or a cool landmark, or an encouraging reminder that you're halfway there.

It's 2024: you're probably beyond trying to memorize every turn, printing out maps, checking your phone’s map every block, or never doing anything new!

You’ll find amazing runs in running cities such as San Francisco, LA, Boston, New York, Chicago, Austin, Vancouver, London, Sydney, Tokyo, and many more. RunGo also tracks your run stats like time, pace, distance, elevation, and estimated finish time. We proudly include no ads in the app, and a paid premium upgrade is available for additional features.

RunGo was recently recognized as one of the best travel apps for your next trip and exploring the world, and how to find great running routes everywhere you travel.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"Great app. I have no sense of direction so being able to create a route and import it into RunGo is perfect for me. It's given me the confidence to run a bit further from home and in other towns when I'm travelling for work. I did have a problem with the app "crashing" after 5 or 6 minutes exactly but this turned out to be a "feature" of my phone, Honor 10 (made by Huawei). There's a battery saving feature that shuts down apps when the user doesn't use them, but they still look open. I applied the fix and RunGo has performed flawlessly since." -App Review by Louise Coleman

Ratings and reviews

I wish I could give this garbage fire of an app zero stars. It simply does not work and cannot be relied upon to give directions while you're running. I have tried it on a Pixel 4a and 7 Pro and had the same problems. On clear days with unobstructed skies the app constantly tells me I am off route when I am not. It also consistently misses turns completely or tells me to turn when I am already 50-100 meters past the turn. Do not waste your time and sanity on this POFS app!

When my screen times out and turns off the app no longer tracks distance or route. When I next look at my phone the app draws a straight line from where I was last time the phone screen was on. No, my phone does not go into Bedtime mode as I've seen in another response. Screen normally darkens so it doesn't drain battery. Used to be a great app. I had run over 1100 miles using RunGo. Now I'm looking for another app.

Impossible to tell if you have downloaded a route. Had to turn off my data just to stop the app from bringing up every route around me. There also isn't any indication that you have downloaded it, nor another page that shows a list of your downloads. It took me forever to find the legs of a race thanks to the awkward search engine. Also there seems to be zero instructions on how to use any features of the app.
