People have used sweatbands or other things under the watch to keep it away from sweat, resulting in much improved performance.

This is a must have app for my Sony smartwatch, and is way better than using the native Strava app. A+++

Love it but can't seem to change my route colour on the map!

Must for Sony smartwatch 3

K70%

Used on a Huawei P8 lite 2017 paired to a Sony Smartwatch 3. Stats for a descent 8 mile run completely lost due to relying on this app to record the data. Seemed fine up to about a third in then kept resetting.

Great app that worked well for two weeks but now no longer uploads to Runkeeper - I'm just seeing "error status: 500 internal server error" for each of my runs this week. Please fix this - I was very happy with the app otherwise!

Amazing app, my sw3 ⌚ has a new lease of life after sitting in the back of a drawer for months! well done and keep up the great work!

Like this app for having only what's needed. Minimalistic design is a plus. Thanks!

Cool

R70%
by R####:

History graph doesn't show heart rate data. That's the thing I'm mostly interested in when I use an app like this. Endomondo has that function, but I hate that app. I was so happy when I thought I finally found a better one. But without that function this app is useless to me.

X70%
by X####:

I installed this app primarily for the AndroidWear 2.0 integration which I'm finding is too buggy for regular use (I have the Moto 360 Sport 2) I wanted something that would work in standalone but the standalone abilities are unreliable. After sending a lot of time setting up Ghosts, syncing to my watch and even testing it to make sure it worked it still failed me when I went on my first run. I have hope for this app and hope the developers know that and won't give up on a true standalone running experience on AW2.0. I'll gladly change my review to 5 Stars if/when the AW experience is improved.

K70%
by K####:

Great app but why is the delete activity button (immediately after stopping an activity) on the left when every other app has it on the right, on the smart watch app? I've deleted my last two runs by mistake because of this. Other than that i love it!

W70%
by W####:

I have tried a myriad of running applications (run keeper, Google fit etc.) But none synced with strava smoothly got glitches, not sinking when I thought it had etc. I always have my phone cycling but I like to rub phone free and never found an application I liked that I could use without my phone. I love ghost racer on my smartwatch 3, simple, clean and works.

Desperately needs Tizen support. The Gear S2 and S3 are the most popular smartwatches for Android devices yet this app only supports Android Wear and the Sony SmartWatch 2 (which no one has).

K70%
by K####:

this is the best running app for my moto 360 sport. This is the only app which allows me to select 3 zones per my choice and synchs to Strava instantly with HR and everything. 5 stars . fast GPS, fast responses just fantastic. I can only wish for capability to undjusting location of those 3 zones, push it little up right left ... moto 360 sport is not fully rounded on the bottom so it would be good to be able use effectively available spacw

G70%
by G####:

Can you please make the ghost track colors configurable? Then it would be perfect, lime green is frequently hard to make out against the map if you're using them for pathfinding.

K70%
by K####:

If the starting elevation was correct i would give it 5stars.not a big problem because uploading to strava will get me the correct readings. I always have an elevation gain of 60m after 1m ride. After that it goes correct.

I've got a new Sony SW3 and I can't get past the screen overlay settings on watch even though my settings on Galaxy Samsung S7 has allowed all storage and location.

It makes what I needed, save .gpx files on my Sony SmartWatch 3 to see it later on PC and that without conversion. Great app!

it's lean, precise, useful and lets me upload my data to smashrun.

Fantastic app. It's great to be finally able to sync across strava & runkeeper automatically. Love it

Would be great if users can creat workout just like garmin

Easy to use and reasonably accurate, syncs with strava, great app

F70%
by F####:

I really really like the app, it's so useful for tracking my runs, but me and my dad have both found the colour scheme awful, as both of us are colour-blind. We can't see our tracked path shown on the map- it's the same as the road colour, so some sort of patterned line or a different colour!

K70%
by K####:

Fantastic app. This app really puts functionality first, whether you want to use the watch as a secondary display, or just leave the phone at home. I've had no issues with my SW3 and integration with Strava (and then onwards to Google fit either). Really love it.

K70%
by K####:

Love the app, use it all the time. Support for a round display like on most smartwatches like the moto 360 is a must. Please add that feature asap!

Not intuitive. No directions. Innaccurate GPS

Works really well on sony sw3. Double tap to change music track is a great feature

Y70%
by Y####:

Really like this app and it is really good on battery power for phone and watch. I use the app mainly for cycling and strap my watch to the handlebars, setting the watch to paired mode (with phone) and screen to low power mode to save battery and it lasts hours, which is fine in the daytime. My phone just stays in my pocket. I am yet to test the map option but you can upload a route, from strava is easiest.

Simply brilliant. Having been quite disappointed with the performance of Strava on my Sony SmartWatch 3 when not connected to the phone (going out for a run without my phone was the main reason to get the SW3), I gave this app a try. Works perfectly. Whatever filtering it does on the GPS reading, this app gives an accurate path that I ran. I've just bought your other paid app, not because I wanted it, but because you deserve to be getting paid. Add some paid for features to this and I'll happily buy them.

A70%
by A####:

With no need to carry my phone using my Sony Smartwatch 3, this app allows me to record my run and upload it to Strava. It works really well, but you need to give it some time for the GPS to lock on, I don't know if that is an app issue or a watch issue.

Hi there, desperate to get this to work, others say how great it is. But not showing on sw3, google play services is same as phone version, any help??

Great app for my sony sw3

Works amazingly on my Sony SW3 and 2, only request would be S Health integration as that works with my fitness tracking service in South Africa, and you can't link S Health and Google Fit together. Also direct Google Fit integration would be nice, but linked through Strava right now... But great great app!

G70%
by G####:

I had been writing an app like this myself and got stuck. A friend pointed me to Ghostracer and I think it's great - it does most of the things I was thinking of and a lot more. The key thing I was after was the ability to have a virtual side-by-side race against myself or others. It's all very well knowing your target time for a segment, but this tells you the pace you need at each stage in order to improve times. I've already got several PBs that I couldn't have imagined getting without this.

Thanks so much for taking into account the Sony Smartwatch 3 built in GPS. Best app ever for android wear. Uploads to Strava which is awesome.

Very good android Wear app. Endomondo sync would be great

Loved this now with 9.5.5 it removed from android wear and will not install I am premium user as well

S70%
by S####:

The best app for running that I have tried so far! I was a longtime Endomondo user but their updates made the experience too complex when you just want to track a run. The only "complaint" that I have is as the title says the pace graph after a run is showing the wrong activity. For run I get cycling axis and vice versa for cycling. Not a major deal though. 5/5 would definitely use again!
