RunKeeper - FitnessKeeper, Inc.
RunKeeper uses the GPS technology found in the iPhone to track your fitness activity, giving you comparable results to an expensive GPS watch. Now, you can also enter your activities manually, including your treadmill runs too!
The intuitive and easy-to-use interface of the app makes it easy to track how far you went, how long it took, what your pace/speed was, how many calories you burned, and the path you traveled on a map.
Once your activity is completed, the data is synced to the RunKeeper website (www.runkeeper.com) where you can view a history of all of your activities, and cumulative totals of all of your vital stats. You can also share your progress with friends by posting your activities to Facebook and Twitter, and creating a profile page that allows people to view all of your public activities.
You can get insight in your ear while you are doing your activities on whether you are ahead/behind your target pace, or get coached through an interval workout.
You can also get in-app heart rate data during your activity (separate hardware required). Get more info at http://runkeeper.com/heart-rate-monitoring.
Features:
* Activity Tracking
No need for an expensive, standalone fitness tracking device when you can use your iPhone 3G or 3GS to do the same thing. Now you can track how far you went, how long it took you, and the route you traveled right from your iPhone
* Personal Dashboard
Store all historical activities on runkeeper.com, where you can keep track of totals and monitor your progress
* Maps integration
See the exact path you traveled on a map, both on the device and on our website
* Activity Sharing
Share your activities with friends via email, or by posting them to your favorite social sites, including Facebook and Twitter
* Music
You can listen to the iPod during your activity, and even change tracks without leaving the RunKeeper application
* iPod Integration
Choose one of your iPod playlists to start automatically the moment you begin your activity
* Audio Cues
Get time or distance-based updates through your headphones during your activity
* Interval Workouts
Create a workout built from intervals of time and/or distance, and let the audio cues coach you every step of the way
* Target Pace
Enter a target pace at the start of your activity and get coached on whether you are ahead/behind that pace through your headphones
* Geo-tagged Photos
Take photos without having to stop your activity. Photos are geo-tagged so when you view them on RunKeeper.com, they appear on the map right where you took them
* Splits
You can see your split times in the app as you do your activities
* Manual Activity Input
You can enter activities manually, including runs done on a treadmill or without your iPhone
Please Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. FitnessKeeper, Inc.

Great application I started using the free version but after a month I decided to buy the pro version to support the developer. After few months using it now I can't go out an run without it. Highly recommended!

Love This Product! I've been using RunKeeper Pro for about a month and a half. It's an invaluable tool during my runs, and it really lets me see where I'm making improvements. The recently released build has made great improvements to stability and battery life. I ran 2 1/2 hours with RK Pro and music playing and still had about 40% battery remaining! The audio cues on the pro version are great, looking forward to seeing what other features are rolled out!!

Drops recording This app is constantly dropping the signal. I have only been able to record three runs out of 20. Once you start it up it grabs a signal but drops it. But, I have to keep it running so that I at least have a time record. I would not buy this until they have figured out these bugs and given you a product that is dependable

Great Execution, Fatal Flaws I love the idea of this app, and all of the cool features you could think of are included. But there are some fatal flaws. After three attempts at using this app, I have still not successfully logged a full run.1) Sleep should NOT suspend the GPS tracking. There is no reason for this. Your interruption handler does not need to stop tracking mph & route. Do some research on this. If Pandora can keep streaming music over 3G, Run Keeper Pro can keep tracking me on GPS.2) As far as I can tell ANY interruption causes the same behavior: receiving a call, text message, or email will pause your run and screw up your stats. I understand that while the phone is ringing you can not track GPS, but you can still do some decent recovery from this situation by NOT PAUSING when your app returns from the interruption!I'll re-review this app after its next update, until then I won't bother lugging around my iPhone when I go for my runs.

First attempt at use in a remote area of Oregon was very successful I'm pretty new to the iPhone and used this app for a 16 mile run today in the river canyon of the Deschutes out of Warm Springs, OR. I followed the simple directions for set up last night and launched it when I started my run this morning. Pausing and resuming was easy so I could take pictures along the way. I was out for almost 3 hours and the phone said I was below 20% battery when I finished. I have wireless in the house and turned the wireless on the phone back on when I came home. That will be an issue for longer hikes and runs. At home I opened up the RunKeeper Dashboard on my Macbook Pro and found my run already there. I will test it on another run tomorrow. I log all my runs - Coolrunning before it blew up, and now RunningAhead. This app will make logging easier, however, I love to search my runs by course and see the total hours and miles I've done on them. I don't know yet if RK has those features. I don't see a shoe miles feature in RK, which I rely on in RunningAhead and plan my shoe purchases according to the miles. While this is the highest cost app I've bought, I was impressed by the quick response of the developer to questions on the blog and the number of active users commenting on the blog. I have not tried other similar apps and chose this one because it looked the most robust and the most promising for future developments.

Rkpro I was looking for a Nike+ app for iPhone. Tried a few free apps for running and this is best out there. Much better than nike as well. The web site integration is great, maps perfect, easy to use. Love it; well worth paying and joining the RK community.

Improving with time I bought the original RunKeeper when it was the only game in town. I was happy with it, but moved to iMapMyRun due to the better integration with their website. I decided the other day to give RK Pro a try. I'm hooked. The audio updates are AWESOME! It's nice to just tap the screen and hear your stats. I give them 4.5 stars because the website can't compare with MapMyRun yet, so I'm using both at this point.

Best app ever. I've been using RunKeeper since it came out. To the naysayers complaining about the lock behavior: tap the damn lock icon on the screen! Apple's GPS is buggy, and won't stay on if the phone sleeps; that's why the program includes its own lock functionality. Seriously, few apps on here are as well thought out and beautifully implemented as this one. It's my favorite paid app, and while the price point is higher than some, it's one of only a handful whose value justifies the price.

An App that is Useful AND Fun With so many games and entertainment apps, it is refreshing to see an app that can change your life (or at least your lifestyle). This app has made me a dedicated runner. I am in better shape now than I have been in years. After each run, you can tell your distance, time, speed, and a map of your route. It has basic statistics that can be accumlated and accessed on the iPhone and detailed statistics (such as caloric burn and altitudes) that can be accessed on the web. Avid users will want to become part of the blogging community on the web. Doubts on whether it will fit your workout style? Start with RunKeeper Free. After a month, you wil know whether the paid version is for you.

LOVE THIS APP! I bought this app about a week ago and used it for the first time today. I am very impressed!! It kept accurate info, is easy to use while listening to your ipod, and when you are done, you can send your run info to the runkeeper.com site and track your own data more in depth. It shows you the route on a map, as well as your speed and elevation throughout the entire run, distance, time, even calories burned. I'm a new runner and training for my first marathon, this app will be a great training tool.

Good But Could Use Some Polish Overall this app is solid with a good website feature. I would like to see an improved interface. Numbers need to be larger so can be readable on the run and I'd like to see a real time map display.

Runkeeper Pro I have been using the free edition but purchased the "pro" edition because the author deserves to be paid for his work. It's a great app.
