Can anyone recommend a good running app. I'm using Mapmyrun at present and it keeps failing. Probably because I'm using an Iphone 4 and not the iphone 5 or 6 it is designed for.

I quite like strava :) I have it synced with my fitbit.

How easy is that to do? I have a fitbit so it sounds like a great idea!

If you have the fitbit app they will communicate with each other :)

I'm finding MapMyRun needs to be left 'on screen' when I lock my phone instead of C25K or my music so I always start MapMyRun last and then it works properly, otherwise it does fail after a few seconds and I don't notice until I get home!

I use runkeeper , it has it moments of being utterly frustrating but then I am sure others do to :)

Another vote for Runkeeper. Ticks all the boxes for me at the moment.

Sadly not compatible with my phone. Guess an upgrade is needed.

Not what you're looking for?
