Running app

Hi all I've just installed map my run on my phone and wondered if it's worth paying for the premium features. Has anyone else done this or is there an app that is better. I like to know how far I've run and my average and fastest time.

All of these apps give you the information you've specificied above for free. On that basis I'm fairly certain it's not worth paying for the premium features.

Why not test out MapMyRun a times and see what you think?

Good luck :-)

I've been using map my run for a while now, and I personally don't see any point in upgrading.

Have you gone through the settings, and adjusted them accordingly? It's quite comprehensive.

I like the Runkeeper app. It's more like a social network site and more 'fun' (I think than the map my run app). It does the same thing and you can see and comment on friend's runs. It also has site wide challenges you can participate.

I don't think any of the running apps are worth paying for because you get a lot of info on your runs anyway for free.
