    I tried it. Thought the app was poorly made. Too cluttered, and not very helpful. I just watch my step counter that comes with the iPhone now

    Yep I use it... not so much for running, mostly walking/hiking. I use it to track my distance and I like looking at the little maps of where Ive walked. I keep a few routes bookmarked so I can challenge them but I think it over estimates calories so I don't use that.

    I have it and like it well enough. Lots of ads, but otherwise it's good. Some people I have read say it's not accurate on distances but I don't have anything to compare my distances to so I just take it as correct.

    I also agree its not entirely accurate on distances, but it's not terrible. I see minor variations on the same routes I take which at most are a difference of .2-.3 of a KM. To some people thats a problem, to me..Meh. Merely a satellite problem and its only an iPhone. =)

    I think today I will compare calories it says I burn to the calories burned, based on my heart rate. It will be interesting to see! As for distances.... When I was running with a trainer last year it was dead on with her pedometer! :)
