" I swore by CycleTracker until I found this. That's not to disparage CycleTracker at all, which still does the job nicely. But Kinetic is by far simpler, cleaner, more intuitive, and has all the same features in a much easier to use design. It also syncs with Daily Mile, which is likewise a much smarter and simpler fitness tracker than CycleTracker has with Training Peaks. " - Customer review by JDob

Great app!
I love this app. I've used this on almost all my hikes and it has always been simple and very helpful. You can set the level of GPS accuracy to low or high. The high setting will give you great accuracy. I've looked at my hikes on google maps and it basically records on top of the trail +/- 10 feet. The drawback to this, of course, is it will deplete battery life much quicker. Also, on the last two hikes that I recorded, it has told me I have ascended and descended somewhere on the order of 12,000-13,000 feet, which is impossible ,among other reasons, because there are no mountains of that altitude around here. Hopefully it is just a glitch that will be fixed quickly. Other than that, Kinetic is one of my favorite and best apps on my phone.
Love it!
I've tried several running apps and I like kinetic the best. I love how versatile it is and how you can change modules. I like that it includes training programs for free. I bought the paid app so I also get voice prompts, which is very helpful. I have shared via facebook and email, plus I upload every run to Runkeeper effortlessly. Only complaint is that I can't edit my runs, like when I use the treadmill. I still use kinetic for the treadmill just to log the run's day an time, but hoping I will be able to edit soon for distance.
of all the fitness tracking apps, easily the most thoughtfully designed
A common goal with these fitness-oriented apps involves making sure that the user is well-attuned to their own activity, the idea being that an awareness of your activity will lead to a more mindful lifestyle, and obviously a more active one.
There are a ton of apps that accomplish this basic task, Runkeeper and Cyclemeter being two of the most robust as well as my favorites. But what all such apps seem to lack for me is the attention to UI detail that so often describes more "work-oriented" productivity apps and the like. What I love more than anything about Kinetic is that it gives me a ton of data about my activity (in my case, cycling) but never skimps on making the app look good. Given the relative cheapness of apps on the App Store, this level of concern for the aesthetics is going to be what sets an app like this apart from a similarly-featured competitor. For every benchmark that matters, I find Kinetic to deliver in spades.
