Sports Tracker: Run Bike Hike

Easy to setup and log workouts. You do not have to create an account by linking all of your personal info to use it. Many options to choose workout styles. Have compared to other phone loggers and data matches good. Many details to analyze tracked data. If you want to share info, you have to turn it on, which is nice. I highly recommend this app; glad i kept searching after trying another few.

AVOID! This app was great, but now they require a log in that is a data stealer! You cannot log in without giving total access to your information and friends list. If you edit to prevent this, you cannot log in or use the app. Complete garbage now. (Edit) You can say what you want, but the app does not allow going past the log in screen if you click off the invasive information. PERIOD. If you update your app, I'll consider changing my review.

I have had this app for 5+ years and absolutely LOVED it! From the real time tracking to drawing routes, and being add free, it was spectacular! A recent update put many of the features that I loved (including seeing previous routes and route creation) behind a paywall. What started out as my favorite outdoor activity app has now been downgraded to a backup, inferior tracking app. I'm super bummed and don't think I will be using the app anymore.

It was a great app, I particularly liked how it would show all my rides in a single map, it was neat. Then, a few days ago it stopped saving my progress. I figured I'd try and update it --BAM! Everything is hidden behind a paywall now. As far as I can tell, the app now is a useless husk that does nothing if you don't pay for the premium version. It's not even that expensive, mind, but pulling this without any sort of warning is the mother of all dick moves. I'm uninstalling this. Good riddance.

I use this to create new routes, track live workouts, and review progress. I've had it for about 3 years now and I love it! The amount of activities you can select when tracking a workout is convenient and something I haven't seen elsewhere. The adjustable voice is good for running if your trying to keep pace or want to know your mileage. I LOVE THE PRIVACY. You can chose to share your routes publicly to help others or you can keep them to yourself which I find very nice.

Sports Tracker is a nice product for keeping track of your log. However, lately it has stopped working as I am walking. This morning went for a half hour walk. It stopped twice as I was walking. It only captured 22 minutes. Quite annoying. Would be nice to have an audible alarm of some type when this happens then you could restart almost immediately. The second time it stopped this morning I was carrying in my hand so as not to accidentally stop it by body contact.

Been using off and on for years. Really need the ability to edit your distance on the map, and have it autocorrect mileage and time accordingly. Kcal counts are very inaccurate (not surprising seeing how it's impossible to know for anyone), but saying 580kcal for 10.6 mile MTB in 1 hour, compared to hiking for 3 miles at 500kcal, is highly erroneous. Auto start/stop doesn't work (Very frustrating trying to track progress). Quit one of the walks I was on out of nowhere recently. Typical.

Have used this app several times for walking/hiking. Am very pleased. 10/23 Update.... Not so happy lately. There have been a number of bugs along the way and features taken away to encourage purchase of premium, which I was considering doing. Current bugs include constant message to change track your location always, even when not using the app! Crazy. To avoid must change permissions opening and closing app. Also hard to really close app, and clear notification that app is paused. 2 Stars

It's been really good for 10 years but with the latest update it keeps asking to use location all of the time. I went to settings, denied and still every few seconds it pops up again. Clicking settings again doesn't work at all. I hit cancel and it goes away for about 5 seconds. It's frustrating as heck! Other than that it does what it's supposed to so... Update:. I hoped that the Feb update would fix it but no. Still does the same thing. Sucks! Looking for new app

I have used this app for over 5 years and it has been great for tracking all my run and bike workouts and progress. However, as of this month many of the great features like audio tracking during workout, progress tracking, comparison tracking over different courses, and some other features were moved from free to premium pay service. This reduces the value of the app a lot. I will now be looking for a comparable app that doesn't require payment.

Used to be so good, better than anything else I have ever used, and free (mostly) However, after almost a decade, advertisements have started to become increasingly invasive. And, now, all the nice features have been locked, only to be available in the "premium" pay version. The functionalities that remain available in the free version are, in my eyes, no longer a discriminant wrt the alternatives. Sooo sorry!!

Can't figure how to change from kilometers to miles. Other than that I like it. This app is live action. If you get lost out on the trails, the map shows where you are so you can get back on track or explore new areas without wondering IF you can get back without retracing steps. And since it's on the phone, you know time of day. The app shows distance, pace, and duration. Really like this, but since I'm in the USA, I want miles. Instructions on app support don't match the app.

Used it for the past 7 years and worked perfectly. But with this recent update I had trouble. It shut down during one of my routes, wouldn't let me start and track another, and I couldn't view my journal without error messages. I saw many others with the same issue and them being told to un and reinstall the app. I did this several times with no success. Finally it did work and the app is fine now but that trouble bothered me. Still love the app, but hope you can resolve this issue. Thank you.

Generally, it is a reliable app, but recently, it has not been tracking correctly. It jumps around, making straight lines between points (seemingly whenever I look at my phone to see if it's working or not) instead of actually tracking the path. It is very frustrating as I use this app to track hikes and want reliable tracks and collection of times/mileage.

I have been using Sports Tracker for over 5 years and I love the app! It gives me all kinds of data to track, analyze, and plan my workout routine. However, I have not found that it works with some of the newer, most popular heart rate monitors. It worked with my old Wahoo Tickr but not the Tickr X or the Polar H10. The app should be able to use any heart rate sensor that isn't using a proprietary connection. I'll have to stop paying for premium and switch apps if it doesn't get fixed 😭

Definitely going downhill as of late. Nearly every feature is locked behind the premium version, and after three runs, it has failed or stopped tracking it just deleted a half mile of distance without warning. If your app can't properly track my distance and time, I've no use for it. Uninstalled.

Please explain why u need my location at all times if I am not using the app? If I select only while using the app, I keep getting pop-ups to change the settings to allow always, and it stops tracking at some point. Spying on me? This once was a premier tracker. Since u decided to make it a money grab, it has dropped from over 4 stars to 3.1. "Pay" attention to those who make or brake you.
