I have read a lot of reviews for this app and i like it but im curious how accurate it is. Im not in the position to buy a hrm right now, not one thats worth much anyway, so has anyone used this app before?

If so, did you find the calories, distance, and such were correct. I feel like mine are but not sure

    It seems to be fairly accurate to me. There are occasional issues but I've used it on 3 chip timed races and the time/distance was nearly dead-on the official time/pace. For me the calorie burn was just a tad low from what my HRM said but it was close enough to not really worry about the difference.

    I think the distance is accurate. I just started using it and it makes my run more fun:)

    Good to hear, thank you. It said my calories burned were a bit higher, not by much, than what MFP said but I went with runkeeper bc it takes into account the terrain im walking and such..
