Marathon

Best running app I've seen so far

This appears to be a great app. I like the items listed on the dashboard and in general it seems well calibrated. I did notice that what appears to be a screen for the maps isn't working for me, so I'm not seeing any maps. I do like the control you get in settings around the announcements. Personally, I wish there was an option to announce by distance (inform me when I've finished each mile) as that's how I gage my runs. Announcing every 5 minutes sort of a poor man's solution, but I guess it works. I really like that you can calibrate your device based on known distances. Each device I've used has a slightly different calibration, so being able to match them is cool. The online experience seems adequate, as well. Its easy to set up and use. I like being able to automatically post my workouts to Facebook and Twitter. All in all, this is a very solid GPS running app. I'll definitely continue to use it.

Good start, but like a beta

This is a good start, but doesn't quite get it done. (Unless the trial I used is gimped in ways that aren't disclosed.) The language is a bit funny -- doesn't seem English is the developer's first language. There may be too many options. It's not intuitive to just get started. Graphing and mapping looks very strong. Shouts to social media are nice. I'd like it to shout out at given distances so, for instance, friends and family could know where you are while you're out for a long run (or racing in a marathon... yes, I tuck my phone in my shorts for races...) Messages sent to facebook don't seem editable (or if they are, it's not intuitive to figure out how) and the whole save/track situation confuses me. I'll probably play with it a bit more, but won't buy until there's an update that addresses some of these little issues.
