Runkeeper problems

Started using Runkeeper a few weeks ago, but occasionally have problems where the app turns itself off part way through a run, which is annoying as you lose the information on your run.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Or has any tips on how to avoid it happening

Thanks in advance

I had different problems with runkeeper, was giving crazy distances ?? Had to stop using it as way off.

I’m using it and had been getting on ok with it except for the last two runs. I did a 12k but it only awarded me an 8k 🤷‍♀️☹️ Then, the other day, it congratulated me on my 12km “walk” and told me I had Burned 49 calories 🙄.

Huh, I haven’t had any issues with it. It doesn’t always match my watch, but they’re always close.

I had that issue for the first time at the weekend, when I took part in my first ever 5k race! It stopped after 11 seconds. Was absolutely gutted! As a result I've decided to move over to Strava.

I did complete my race in a time of 44.01 so I was very happy with that mind you!

I've never had an issue with Runkeeper. I've had issues with Strava switching off and telling me I have run at a pace I cannot physically run!
