Latest reviews of WeatherRun: Cycling, Walk, Hike Tracker, Altimeter- using Barometer, logger with Pebble Watch, Heart Rate monitor, M8 Motion Steps app for iPhone and iPad
Good app, but could be better with international units systems (kilometers instead of miles, and Celsius degrees)
Difficult to read when running and using on the arm. heart beat is almost impossible to rad when running. Difficult to change display. data display not well organized. does not work with M7 and do not measure distance correctly
I would probably use this if I could change the units. Currently only miles/Fahrenheit. Attractive app otherwise, but Ill stick to my others that have some customization options.
I was really impressed with the accuracy and unique UI of the app. Definitely beats Nike running and other run tracking apps. Would be nice if I could import routes as GPX files.
Really impressed with a different kind of app design. Didnt find any other app that keep track of weather and runs at the sane time. Looking forward to have camera and photos feature within the app.
