Description
RunKeeper uses the GPS technology found in the iPhone 3G/3GS to track your fitness activity, giving you comparable results to an expensive GPS watch at a fraction of the cost. 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.
** RunKeeper is only compatible with the iPhone 3G/3GS **
Features:
* Activity Tracking

* 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

Customer Reviews
Easily the best app out there
I really like RunKeeper. Liked it enough that I purchased the pro version. I have a few thousand words review comparing this with other applications here. http://bit.ly/Zc3U.
- It is developed by a runner, so the features all have a nice touch that gears it towards runners. For instance, the lock button turns over the screen so when you are using an armband, you can easily read the stats.
- The fonts are big and nice and easy to read.
- Their customer support is phenomenal. I usually ask questions through twitter at @runkeeper and I get a response within minutes.
- The only 'failure' I had with this after about 20 runs is on a very very very cloudy day when iPhone GPS did not work. NONE of the other GPS apps worked as well, so it was not limited to RK.
- The software evolves continuously and RK team is very receptive to your suggestions. Any gripes you have might be addressed sooner than later.
- Those who have problems with GPS connectivity, please check the RK forums for suggestions. In many cases, turning off WiFi would help a lot.
In short, I have spent 100s of $ for software that I use regularly, but RK Free and Pro have given me the best bang for the buck out of ANY software I have used, iPhone app or not.
A Waste of Time
After losing my iPod Nano with the Nike+ receiver I resorted to this application. I'm sorry I wasted my time. The application left me with 10% battery life remaining, and half way into the run I checked my progress only to find it was starting over. Running the app and music simultaneously used the entire battery on a 50 minute run. You could resolve this issue by not listening to music or running shorter distances. Also, even though I locked the app before putting in my pocket, it was easily unlocked and I lost half my 5 mile run. On the positive side the information it did give was accurate. I've run this route many of times and I am confident in the data, but if you’re not getting all the data, it’s superfluous. I’m going to break down and replace my Nano/ Nike+.
They lied...
They told past paid users we would get access to the updated paid app. They lied. New free app keeps quitting after the many commercials.
