| 2024-04-14 |  | | I have found a work around for the GPS drops described below. If I set Caynax to display always on, I find that the GPS connection does not drop, but auto pause does not work, so I have to manually pause it when I stop activity during a workout. Pixel 6 battery sufficient to accommodate extra drain. Android 14 not supported. GPS connection drops with no notification or auto pause when GPS connection lost. |
| 2024-02-11 |  | | Rating set to three while troubleshooting with Caymax update it is Feb 2024 app has struggled to work with gps once again. No updates available. I may need to look for an app with gps stability through versions. The last upgrade may have changed GPS to a fused method. I've changed it to the API to see if that fixes it. 2/8/2024- that didn't help either. Clear cache, rebooted, change GPS settings, still loses GPS all the time. I tried always allow settings, still drops. Pixel 8pro fyi |
| 2023-11-04 |  | | I'm not at all happy with the new red banner telling me to "fix" a non-problem. Having notifications turned off is my choice; it's not a problem to be fixed. I don't want or need reminders and running activity notifications. If they leave this banner up, I'll start looking for a new app and will expect a refund from Caynax. They just lost 2 stars for this. Other than this annoyance, it's nice. Does everything I want and has good selection of settings. |
| 2023-09-25 |  | | It's a good app. Only complaint is the reliability of the GPS data. It's all over the place and sometimes it's just loses connection and ruins my distance record to compare to other days. But overall it's good and the minimized ads that don't interrupt the screen is a big plus. |
| 2023-05-08 |  | | It was good. Stopped using it for 10 months because of injury. Had used it for 2 years or more, and loved it. Now they updated it and want permission to see my contacts, pics, etc. And the app stopped working like before. Changed all permissions, so that my 2 mile walks are not showing up, not recording it. And, now ads in-between every function, didn't have this before. So, time to get a new tracker for my walks ... This one sucks. |
| 2022-08-14 |  | | Very useful for walking, running, Nordic walking. Be sure and become familiar with what is in the settings. Many times advertising, GPS, battery and other settings can interfere with what you are trying to do. Do. Many recent releases have dealt with some of these problems, so many of them may be gone. |
| 2022-05-31 |  | | I tested this tonight against my Garmin. Very accurate results. One of the best apps I've tried for kayaking or sailing. Haven't tried it on the bike yet. One nice feature is the 5 Second pause. With my Garmin I have to manually stop the program. This automatically does it. Edit.. I wish I could recommend this app because it used to be good. Something has changed and it drops GPS all the time I don't have a single record of a completed workout. Unfortunately no one is helping me with the issue |
| 2021-11-10 |  | | Six months of reliable use. I have used several apps like this and it is far and away the best. The interface works well, it faithfully records my entire run, it provides a lot of useful data, and it is easy to start and stop. I appreciate the countdown timer as it gives me a chance to secure my phone before I get going. I just purchased the home workout app and the HIIT app tonight because how much I like this app. So far they're looking real promising as well. |
| 2021-03-09 |  | | Nice and reliable. I dumped the under armour app because it took too long to start up. Too much junk going on in the backend, no doubt. This one gets going as fast as I do. And it displays nearly everything I need. I would like to see the minutes per mile rate in addition to miles per hour. It gives me something tangible to shoot for. But anyway this one is working great and I can track my workouts. I paid up... Happy to support independent developers! |
| 2021-02-24 |  | | Very impressive app. Well designed and easy-to-use. Seems highly accurate, except maybe for the altitude measurements. Not important to me, though, and it may do better with larger changes in altitude. As a longtime Android user, I was considering switching to iPhone just so I could use an Apple Watch. With this neat little app and the Galaxy S9 heart rate monitor, no need. |
