Great app! I am using it for tracking running for the marathon training. Without ads and trackers! It clearly shows the trajectory on the map, speed/time plot, pace per kilometer. The app is simple to use, but initial setting is slightly counterintuitive - some UI adjustments and welcome setup after the first startup would help, especially for speed unit setting and automatic lap after one kilometer.

RunnerUp is great. The fact that it's free really blows my mind. I think it would probably benefit of a bit of a face lift both merely aesthetically and as an optimisation on how data is displayed - but super happy with it as it is and it's my go to app for running nowadays.

How do you start a workout. There is no start button. My hrs shows up but no workout / audio cues start. I have the zones and audio cues configured in the settings. How about adding a start button.
