This is a good app. I have been using it 4 or 5 years now. I like the newest update. I did not like it after the big update but they have fixed that as it makes it easier to enter my time and distance. Thank you for listening. I love this app!!

One question: can you edit your routes in the app or do you just have to keep adding when you get another route?

I've used this app for over 4 years now and it's exactly what I want in a log. It's not fancy but I have never cared for some of the cluttered, crowded interfaces of other apps. I strictly was to log my distance and time and I like that it figures out your pace automatically. I also like the option to view your weekly, monthly, yearly, and total miles. I don't want or need much other data and this app just gets it done for me.

I do not like new version. I don't like the way you now tap twice to get to date; nor that you cannot enter distance and time on same screen; nor the scrool to get location; nor the new blue and red; and a lot of other small things. It was great, almost perfect the way it was for several years. PLEASE let us have the option to go back...I never should have updated it!

I've been using the app for years but the new update is really bad. It's not as easy to view the summary and when you look at the weekly summaries, it shows Sunday to Sunday and includes runs on both days! They need to fix this!!

I wish that you could change the start of your week to Monday

The old app didn't do this. I'm not sure why it was changed. I measure my weekly miles 7 days at a time, not 8.

I've been using this app for five years now. I love the new look of it and it's so much easier to see my previous work out. I will continue to use it on a nearly daily basis.

Love this app. A great way to keep track of those hard earned miles.

Great app with great updates

I shouldn't have updated to the new version. Previous version was simpler and easier to use. Terrible update. After two years of using this app I'm now removing it.

I like the new updates

Great, does everything I need. Wish it was more obvious what day is highlighted on the calendar in the new update. And/or there was a way to change the day of a run if it's on the wrong day besides deleting and starting over.

I used to love Running Log. Now it is so difficult to use that I am really bummed. I should not have updated but did not know that it would ruin the great app!!

Thanks for update!!

Couple more ideas.....

Can you please fix the summary for the week to be 7 days not 8.

Fix to Sunday-Saturday.

Currently weekly summary includes 2 Sunday's.

Also can you create a way to edit routes? (Rename, add to, delete, etc...)

Love the App.

Look forward to next update!!!

The only real weakness is the summary section. Program of chart axis values is barely acceptable. Everything else is good.

Not sure if this version is an attempt to modernize but at least on my phone it has so much less appeal. I liked the calendar view where I could see in a glance my effort, type of run, etc. now all I can see is mileage. Loved the old. Won't recommend the new, and may stop using it.

Great improvement on the previous update. Thanks for listening.

A little color would be nice however.

I've used this for years and love it. I am so happy it's finally updated!! The calendar view is a bit bland, but could easily be tweaked in a later update. That said, ios8 UI is pretty bland as well, so it is consistent with that. I love the ability to look at my totals for the week, year, or forever, and the fact that it makes use of the bigger screen. Thank you!

Update: been using the new update and am noticing more issues. Cannot add an entry for any other day except today. Even if I highlight a different date and hit the plus sign, it only adds it to the current day. You also still can't delete an entry. Fix these issues and I'll add my stars back.

Update after update: much better! The problems I was having are now fixed. Back to 5 stars. Thank you!!!

The previous version of this app was something that I used everyday. This version is unusable.

I think this app is great but why are we not able to log more than one run per day? I'm giving this two stars until I'm able to log more than one run per day.

I really like this app, but wish there was a way to switch the start date for the week from Sunday to Monday since many runners, including myself, calculate their mileage M-Su rather than Su-Sa. It's only a minor inconvenience, and doesn't make the app any less effective. It's just a personal preference.

I love the update, but I lost 5 years of activity from my old version. :( Info did not transfer.

I absolutely loved this app since the beginning. The new update is even better. Thank you!

I love this app. I was a little disappointed with the updated version, but they listened to the complaints and fixed it again. If you're looking for a plain, simple running log... This app is for you.

This is a good app to keep track of your running and training. Nothing fancy but gets the job done.

This is a good app that has been improved by the update. Thanks especially for correcting the input issue - it is much easier to input via the keyboard. In a future version I'd like to see a way to keep track of the mileage I put on shoes. Great app! Thanks.

The new app is ok, the old one was better and easier to read overall. Might look for something else

I've been using this app for years and love the app. I was frustrated by recent update but am so happy and pleased by how fast the developers responded and fixed the problems!

The latest update is great, and is easy to use and now that pace is working properly I can see the advantages and enhancements of the summery layouts. Good job!

Simple but effective app that I've been using the last 3 years to track my running. I like the new design. Tracks everything I could want. Has nice graphs and total stats. Would highly recommend.

Update May 27th, 2015

The most recent update puts stars up to 3 and I added another because the developers are clearly paying attention to the reviewers and wants of their customers! Almost all of my complaints have been resolved with the update. The scroll wheels are gone, and you can now enter runs or rests on days other than the current one. Still missing the weekly/monthly summaries on the calendar view, bring that back and this is a 5++ star app again!

--------------------------------

This was my all time favorite running apps. I absolutely loved the simplicity and user friendliness of data entry and review. It's one of the reasons I went back to Apple after a couple year hiatus, but since the update I'm strongly considering going to a different app... Here's just a couple of the reasons. The scroll wheel for data entry is worthless, even for a short mile or two run its takes 2-3 times as long to enter your run. You also have to make sure you enter your run on the day you ran it because you can no longer enter runs or rest days on any other day than the current one. The summaries have now been moved exclusively to the summary tap, whereas before the update there was a weekly and monthly summary on the calendar view (by far was one of my favorite features since you could compare your months to each other while also looking at the breakdowns of quantity, spread, and mileage of each of the runs you did month to month). The new coloring is sort of cool, but that's about all the positive I've got to say for the update.

For the most part, I like this app, although I'm not as happy with the recent updated version which I find to be clumsy. I especially wish that they would link specific runs to distances, to save the redundancy of having to separately enter distances on each entry for the same run.

I wasn't thrilled with the first update. All the scrolling and was not very user friendly compared to the initial version. The latest update brought back the typing in of the time and distance which is much more user friendly!!! The training week being displays from Sunday to Sunday needs to be fixed...should be Sunday to Saturday or Monday to Sunday

I've been using the app for over 2 years! Love the new updates!!

I like that a few items were fixed from the last update. I would still like to see tempo and progressive run added to the options for type of run. The only other thing I miss is the month summary on the home mileage page. Thank you for listening to the reviews!!!

Updated review:

Issues were addressed that many of us complained about in the update that happened earlier this year. Thank you for fixing! Have updated my rating from 1 to 5 😄

Previous review:

I've used this app for years and have loved it. Unfortunately they really blew the most recent update.

It does not allow you to enter runs from previous days. Instead it stacks them all up on the current day. Terrible if you're trying to enter data from a previous week or month.

You also have to now enter your times all in minutes. So if you've run longer than an hour it's 60 plus minutes. There's no hour option. For longer runs this means you've got to calculate. Not a huge deal but took me some time to figure that out. I just don't understand the change.

This latest version of Running Log™ is just a bit better than the last. I have never had issues with the app, and use it almost exclusively for running data. I would like to be able to track mileage from different sports separately, like biking mileage, kayaking mileage, and walking mileage. If this was the next upgrade, all would be perfect. As you can tell, I like to keep running info only for running. Keep up the improvements!

I've been using this ap for several years. I make entries daily. The revised version had a few quirks, but the tech team at WP got right on it and smoothed them out. The revisions that were made from the earlier version are good. The ap was already good, and it has now gotten better! I had difficulty importing my data from my "vintage" iPhone to my newest device, and tech support responded promptly and solved my issue.

It's fine, but seems less intuitive than the original. I hope it does not mysteriously lose data like the old one sometimes did.

New app to time consuming . Summary and weekly reports not as easy for reviewing. Have to now choose date disappointed may switch

Why the scrolling numbers? And now it's hard to enter data for previous dates. Not happy and not using this again.

I honestly hate the new version of running log. The original version was much more user friendly and much more pleasing to the eye. This version is confusing and ugly. Haha but seriously it's not as fun and easy to use as the original.

The average pace isn't being calculated correctly. Looks like you're using a simple average instead of a weighted average. If I run 9 miles at 6:00 per mile and one mile at 7:00 per mile, my average pace should be 6:06 not 6:30.

Great app to keep track of your runs

Used this app for last 4 years. I loved the basic set up, back up, etc. no glitz just a great runners log.

The update, though, should enhance your product NOT take it backwards! Only allowing entries to be made for the current day is a disaster! So is only allowing total minutes of run, this is more limiting than you realize for ultra runners.

PLEASE fix the two issues above ASAP! This app goes back to 5 stars with those changes.

Bring back the old version please. Please change weekly summary view to last seven days not last eight days. It double counts my miles when you do an eight day summary. Please update and I will rate higher once improvements are made.

Over all not to bad, but the workout

That is logged it's not added to the

weekly,monthly and yearly totals. And

Don't like the fact that you enter time in minutes, I have a race that could go 17 hours under the new format I couldn't enter the time. So I needs improvement already !!! I'm not sure this get sent or not but I don't like inputting my workouts in minutes like I said I have a race longer than the time allowed to be in put, this needs to be fixed !!!! Other than that I like the app but won't rate it any higher until that gets fixed

Don't like they update. Data entry is clunky using the wheel. Liked keyboard entry better. Does a better job of displaying data. Overall, liked the older version better. Recommend more of the old interface with newer data display features.

New version isn't as easy and user friendly as old version.

Old version better. Used to see more on calendar at a glance. Used to see monthly running total on calendar view. I see change but no improvement and actually a little worse than before. Better icon

Old version was WAY better. Nice job fixing that which ain't broke. Hate not seeing my monthly mileage on the first screen. I've been using this for five years and now am considering NOT. weak sauce!!!

Sorry. But I feel I feel you took away rather than added with this update. I used to like how the older version switched to graphical view in landscape mode. I liked scrolling through my list of runs in the summary. I liked seeing the monthly and weekly totals in calendar view. Unless I haven't learned to use this version (which is possible since help is very limited) you took all those away. And the scrolling to add run data...not a fan. I will patiently wait a return to "classic".

It's a good app to track my runs, and that's all I want it to do.

Great for this purpose, allows me to enter day, time, distance, type of run, notes, and more.

Would recommend if you're looking to track basic info.

I also like the summary function: with one look I can review all my past efforts - perfect.

I liked the older version. I really don't like change much. The older version was easier to use. I had a difficult time getting it to switch to miles instead of KM. Still trying to get the time down right. I put in my hour and minutes and it doesn't tell me my pace correctly. I'll figure it out. I do like that you can now see your data at a glance at the bottom of the month. With some practice it will become easier.

I've used this app for years & loved it for its utility. I used the new version this morning to enter my data for the last three days, and even though I thought I was pressing the date I wanted, it entered all three runs on today's date. Not sure if I just wasn't doing it correctly or if it's a bug, but I also now can't figure out how to delete the information that's not for today. Granted, it asked me to review before I was done playing with it, so I may figure it out after I'm done here, but from what I've seen so far, I prefer the previous version of the app.

While the update probably improved the functionality of the app, I felt almost compelled to hold a funeral for the very concept of aesthetic that they practically murdered with the visuals in this update. It was never a pretty app, but the previous theme, which I had grown used to in the three years I've used the app, was far and away better than the attempt at modern minimalism with which they have assaulted my eyes.

Still need to fix the inability to clean up (delete) routes. If there's a way to do it, I haven't figured it out.

This is a wonderful app -- I've been using it for well over a year -- but it desperately needs IOS updates! I need to clean up my routes; however, whenever I attempt to delete any, I get booted out. Also, with regard to the Notes section, the issue where the text of a list being clipped needs to be addressed. Fix these items and I'll change this to a 5-star app!

This is exactly the running log app I want - it’s simple, collects all the data I want to track, and dumps it to an excel file I can use for graphing and analysis. (Yes, I’m a data geek.) I don’t want it to be a GPS run tracker - I already have all the tracking devices I need. I just want someplace to log and review the data. And this does the trick.

I love this app and have been using since I started running four years ago. I love the tracking, charts and graphs and that you can easily export to Excel. However many features are not working under iOS8 and right now I can't restore the data to my new phone. Please update ASAP! Edit: just saw there has been no update since 2010...hopefully app is still supported.

This app is simple and straight forward. I use it to track all of my runs and have been since the first day I found it.

My only complaints/suggestions are:

1) The note field quite often losses most of or all of my notes. I keep track of race names and spits there and ONLY there. So when I go back to compare things having all or most of my notes gone is quite annoying!!!

2) Changing the day of the week that things start on would be nice, but not really a big deal.

3) Some way to search for runs. By distance, time, pace etc... Going back to find old runs is time consuming.

4) Someplace to keep track of PRs or even special workouts.

Really other than the notes this is a great app!!!

I have read a lot of the reviews below and I would first like to address some of the key complaints. First, and foursome, a lot of reviews complain of a non-tracking ability, and to this i BEG the creators to NOT include this. It is the fact that overly complex aspects like that are not included that makes this app so wonderful. As for all of the graph complaints, come on. It doesn't matter. I mean yes it could be tweaked a bit, but what would that do? I'm just afraid that this app will give into the peer pressure of more is always better. This app masters the less is much, and i have ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS, IT IS WERTH EVERY CENT!!!!

I would LOVE the app if it was changed so I can see my distance and time on the calendar rather than the generic symbols and number indicating level of effort. I might want to read details like that every once in a while, but at a glance I want to check my previous workouts in terms of distance/time so I know how to train for the upcoming workout.

Otherwise it's an okay running log.

I'm an enthusiastic, casual runner. This app gives me exactly what I need to chart my progress. I love looking back and comparing my miles, speed, etc over time. I cross train a lot too. There isn't a cross train indicator so I just mark that day as a green rest day. The only thing I wish this had was a way to track how long I've had my shoes. It would be cool to keep that info in this app too.

I LOVE this app! Work all 99 pennies I paid for it! A total bargain!!! I love that I can log runs and see my weekly and monthly summaries. It's also nice to be able to record what type of run it was and the effort level. You can even name your runs. The notes section is a nice feature as well. This app does what I was hoping it would do. It is also a good motivator. I love seeing my runs add up!

Would like to see one change make Monday the first day of the week It would be convenient to have the Sunday run, be the last day of the running week, rather than the first day. All other running logs do this, including running schedules. That sure would make It easier to keep my running schedule and my running log in better sync.

Make the week start with Monday- or make it a settings feature. Also make rest days automatic or easier to input rather than having to go through log a run. Maybe even an I should have run but didn't button...so log run, rest day and I should have run!

Overall great Ap and I am happy to see the miles rack up- motivating!

I love this app, but wish you could enter cross training workouts in addition to running. I also wish you could select a specific week to view weekly stats. Finally, it would be nice to be able to enter a custom "type of run".

Other than these few improvements, this app is exactly what I was looking for! I love the month view that lets me see quickly and easily which days I've worked out or taken off. It's got all the basics- time, distance, notes, effort level, route name, etc. Great app!

After using a written log for YEARS I did not trust or have interest in an electronic log.I tried this app tho and am continually delighted and amazed! It is user friendly, covers everything, is flexible and adaptable,and the customer support is right there with prompt friendly clear help.

Amazing! Never another app or paper again!

This app works well and is perfect for a runner wanting to keep track of their miles.

Some suggestions to make it even better:

- feature to track the miles on different pairs of shoes

- option to associate route names with their distance so that when you select one of the route names you have saved, the mileage is automatically filled in

- option to display the history ( pace and duration, personal best) for a route, and for a type of run ( distance, pace, duration) so that you can see trends over time

Also, one is able to enter long route names, but then the whole name does not display. I made the mistake of using a description as the name of my route, and as I run different combinations of loops, some names start out the same. Now I can't tell which is which, and I can't delete them!

I am training for a marathon and recommend this app!

If you're looking for a good app to log your runs, don't pass this one up. Sure there could be a few improvements, but for 99 cents, I'm really surprised the way some reviewers whine about what the app doesn't have. One word of warning: if you want a GPS run tracker, this isn't it. But personally I can't see wanting to lug around an iPhone on a run anyway. Improvements that might be nice would include maybe a shoe mileage tracker & weight tracking ... Dunno. I'm just really happy with it. Plus, when I emailed them I got a friendly response right away!

Have used this app everyday this year and it works great. It reminds me of a palm app called Athletix. Love to see addition of shoes selection area and maybe a place for pictures to remember certain runs. Maybe a Trophy area for racers. Also information about the race. The field size. Your age group finish place and overall placing. A section for weather temp ect... I know I would in app purchase an update with these features! Keep up the great work!

I have to agree with other reviewers, the one major complaint I have about this app is that I can't start my week on Monday. Building in a choice would be extremely helpful.

Aside from that, I love this app, I use it everyday. But the weekly mileage totals are less helpful than they could be for me because of the start day.

Love this app! Running on a treadmill makes all the gps tracking apps useless. This is exactly what I needed. Simple, easy, and good features. Could use a Retina update though.  I really like the export/backup/restore functions. Had to use them once so far and worked perfectly.

I like the Running Log, have been using it since May. However, the one problem I really have is that I do not have the option of starting my week on Monday instead of Sunday. There needs to be an option for what day you start your training week. Overall though, good, useful app. Much easier than having a hard copy of your log only.

I love this app. It's a good way to track total mileage. It's easy to use and does what it is supposed to do. The charts are great. It still needs a little improvement. I wish they would add a cross-training section so I could track the total time I spend exercising and I would like to track things like interval training It's a real motivator to see lots of days on the calendar with workouts listed. Overall, the best way to track just my runs.

This is an excellent, simple, easy to use app. I couldn't find it in any others, but a "milestone" for monthly and total distances would be fun and motivational for some. Like "you've run from [ ] to [ ]." "You've run across Rhode Island," " you've run across Texas." The Sahara, the USA, whichever you'd choose to put in. Even a "miles to next milestone" for a challenge. It's still my favorite running app though.

I love this app. It's easy to use and keeps track of most everything I need it to. My only to wish list items for an update would be 1) A cross train option for adding in any cross training you do into the log, differentiating it from your runs, and 2) Add something to put in when you get new shoes and to let you know when it's about time to get a new pair.

Really love the app though!

If you hate recording your runs by paper or your computer, then this app is for you. It's faster than those types and you can look at your runs where ever you go. Plus you can email your runs to whoever you want. A must have!

This app is a good basic App. It needs to be updated with a function that allows you to add multiple parts of a workout under one run instead of under a separate run. For instance, warmup pace and distance, tempo run pace/distance and cooldown pace and distance. A function that allows you to add an incline degree if you are on a treadmill is good too. Also needs to add tempo run as a type of run. This is a huge oversight. Everyone I know does tempo runs. Also needs a function to put in distance and pace that figures out total duration automatically instead of the other way around.

Wow! I so luv this app. It is totally what I needed. After my ankle injury last year my PT told me that I should be keeping a running log to track how i'm feeling, how I'm running, etc. I tried to keep up with one but I kept forgetting to write it down in my book right away. I resolved January 1st to stay on top of it. I found this app last week, transferred all of my notes, and now I've always got it...super easy.

I also luv the graphing. What a well thought out app. And it motivates me to run even when I'm feeling tired...I just luv seeing a full month!

Thanx!

This app rocks!! It keeps pertinent data on the mileage, shows progress in graphs and keeps me motivated to improve on the previous weeks mileage by displaying both weekly and monthly totals. Even provides a notes section so I can notate calories expended when on a treadmill. Great app for me!!

Not one to write reviews (second one actually) but this app is worth the money and great for keeping track of what you are accomplishing. Definatley keeps you accountable for your running ; keep it on the front screen so you see it everyday and check what you've done.

As for running shoes feature would be nice but I just keep track of that in the notes along with weight calories burned etc.

Nice basic log for running. It would be nice if you can move or copy a run to a new date. It would save time to copy workout and then just need to modified run. Also, I put the info on the wrong date and it was a pain to put all the info in again and delete first entry.

This app is great! I do agree a shoe mileage tracking option would be great, but keep it an option in case some do not want to use it. I would also like to see weekly / monthly / yearly totals included in email exports.

The developer is great at answering questions. Thank you for that! This app is a steal for the price. Not sure what the free version does not offer that the paid does, so no comment there.

This program is easy to use and easy to read. I love the calendar view to see how much I've run and the graphs are great. I am more motivated to run and then to run to my iPhone to enter the data. I would ask the developer to add a tracking feature for my running shoes. That would keep me from needing another app and would make this one worth five stars.

I love this app. I use it many times a day. One way that I believe that it could be improved is to add a graph to see your progress. That way you can see what days you did well and what days you didn't. It would also help you see and track your progress!! Please consider mr suggestion. Love the app, keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!

This application is worth the money and more. It has far more features than I was looking for. The presentation is impeccable. I would have paid even more than what they asked for. I would recommend this application to all runners. It is a must to have.

I love this app!! It let's you enter notes like how I felt or weather. It keeps track of my totals. It will allow you to generate a list of your favorite runs by name. The calendar view is great! The only thing I would add is A) landscape mode, B) keep running total of each shoe. Definitely worth the small price!!

Great app. I am finally keeping up a log of my runs ! Easy to use, it takes seconds to log each run. I like the export feature. I asked the developer about adding a pace calculator and I got a nice email back and it was update less than a week later. It would be great to see a cross training section and a designation for speedwork intervals etc . Very nice product.
