Product Positioning & Context
Community Voice & Feedback
This app is completely useless when trying to integrate it with Apple Watch Ultra 2. It does not record the workouts nor does it offer to add any recorded on my watch.
Great app only been using a couple weeks and I already feel an improvement in my fitness.
Didn’t used to have issues with the distance & pace tracking, but after a recent update which required enabling Apple Health options the distance & pacing is tremendously off.
A specific route that I have verified through numerous methods in the past as exactly 1-mile (and used to work seamlessly with Runna) now shows a distance of 0.91m upon completion.
With such a staggering difference on just 1-mile, the longer the distance the more inaccurate the results. A simple 5k will have me run almost an additional half mile.
Unfortunately I can no longer rely on this app for accurate workout tracking.

I have never had such a terrible experience with customer service. They are completely unavailable, unresponsive and unhelpful. When you reach out, you get a message saying that they are behind in requests and will get back to you in 1-3 days. They have reps working across the world and they will respond at 2am local time and by the time I would see the request they were done for the day. They do all of their customer service via a messaging within the app. I never ended up getting my subscriptions to link and wasted hours in loops with their customer service and redownloading and resetting up my running plan.
When it worked it was great but it glitched more than it worked.

Tried 3 times to cancel and could not. They keep charging. It’s essentially the Columbia House Records scam or today.
When running with Apple Watch (without iPhone), I often use a coaching app (e.g. Runna) alongside Spotify (offline podcasts). Currently, when the coaching app speaks, the system automatically lowers (“ducks”) the podcast audio without pausing it.
This creates a poor experience, as I miss parts of the podcast every time the coach gives instructions.
I would like more flexible audio control options, such as:
• The ability to automatically pause background audio (e.g. podcasts) when a coaching app speaks
• The ability to adjust relative volume levels between apps (e.g. lower coaching voice vs. maintain podcast volume)
• More granular control over audio priority between apps during workouts
This would significantly improve the experience for users combining coaching apps and spoken audio content.

Good structure and plans/insights but the syncing with apple watch and the iphone app is atrocious. It’s good when it works, which is only half the time. You would think for $20+ a month they would figure out the most basic features of syncing
Have consistently had issues with heart rate monitor. Very frustrating when you pay for a premium service.
Love this app. Add landscape mode on iPad and it would be 5 stars.
pair is with strava for the ultimate experience! it’s genuinely perfect for running.
As someone getting back into running after a longggg time off, this app has immensely helped me grow in my fitness and gives excellent feedback! I absolutely love how personalized it is! I highly recommend this app.
I cannot begin to explain how grateful that I came across the runner app. It helps me out significantly and holds me accountable each and every day. I love the fact that it tells me each day what I need to do without having me think about creating a plan. It does the work for you, which is amazing.
I’m not sure what happened, but lately when I try to start a workout it says it’s connecting to my Apple Watch and then it just hangs forever. It’s so frustrating and I’ve had to fully disconnect my watch from the app to be able to start any workouts. I won’t be renewing my subscription after this
There really is no need for a subscription until you’re ready to take a deep dive. It is amazing. I could not run at all, and now I can run for three minutes straight! I have done 7 runs in the beginner plan so far, and only two were a bit difficult. They do a great job leading you up.
The app is great, and I’m a long time Strava premium user, but this app didn’t tell me anything that 5 minutes with ChatGPT couldn’t. The custom plan run a built vs ChatGPT were nearly identical. Don’t wast the money.
