RunGo - The Best Routes to Run

Proceed cautiously.. app doesn’t recognize premium purchase. May have just wasted $6

Love the idea of this app! And with a few improvements, it could be perfect. For one, as other users have stated, it often creates and narrates unnecessary turns in the middle of the run. I will be on a straight section and it will say “turn right, turn left” to keep me going straight. Two, no matter how many times I select the option to only announce turns on my phones, the app will announce from my phone to my headphones AND watch app will announce for everyone nearby to hear. It’s incredibly annoying. Three, because of all the unnecessary audio cues, I often have to pull out my phone to check the map. It would be so much easier if one of the options on the watch app was a map zoomed in on my current location on the run. Four, I wish I could select how many announcements I want for turns. Sometimes it’s just one per turn, sometimes it feels like 3-4. It’s very disruptive. And last but certainly not least (maybe the most annoying glitch!), sometimes I need to pause my run to look at the map. Whether I pause from my watch or phone app, it will immediately “resume” on its own. So I’ll pause it again, then it will restart immediately, and on and on. I hate the impact that has on my mileage times since the app is tracking my pace / mileage. If you’re someone who likes to stop and stretch or stop and walk, this glitch might be a deal breaker. For the pros, it’s really easy to create and share new routes. I can also make them private which is great so strangers don’t know my routes. You can create routes using roads, trails, paths, etc. - anything that would show up on a map. If your trail run has a lot of turns, it gets pretty annoying with the constant interruptions but it’s better than having to carry my phone and check the map all the time. Honestly if they can fix the issues above, this will be my favorite running app. And until then, I’m still going to use it because I like to run different routes without having to stare at my phone the whole time and I have yet to find another app that does everything I want.

Found this app doing a search for what I needed. I wanted to create a route, share it with people and also create a GPX file for other smartwatches. There’s not all in one app like this for this cheap or free. Also I didn’t need all the bells and whistles like Strava or Map My Run. It actually has more than I expected for a free app. It also shows all kinds of data on the Apple Watch and iPhone. And it calls out data like pace, miles where to turn etc in your Bluetooth headphones, watch and phone. I just tested this morning for the first time and worked great. Now for GPX files and to save serval routes you have to pay, but a third of the price for Strava. I don’t even think you can map routes in Map my Run. If you just want a couple routes this is a great free app. And I wanted a live tracking feature to let someone know just in case something happens. This has it too in the paid version for way less than the others. All I can say so far is this is a great app. Not sure why all the 1 and 2 star reviews. I’ll probably pay the yearly just to give them money to keep this app going.
