While the HR app itself doesnt req Large fonts, other apps like Google Maps do (for humans older than 30). The problem is, for times over 1hour, the number line wraps, bumping STOP and PAUSE buttons off screen and out of reach. Not just poor usability testing, a usability full stop failure.

I can't stop it at the end of my runs so it's useless.

Being an RA web user, I love this app. Would be nice to get details of past RA runs in history (splits, etc).

I love the online options. The website is awesome. But the trackers sucks and stops recording your position after about a mile and a half. Pls fix!

Tried it a few times but the distance is waay off, disappointing

Sometimes crashes and nothing is saved. Pace information is extremely unrealiable.

Worked great for the longest time but now its just picking up crazy stuff... like it told me I had gone 32.8 miles about 30 seconds into my walk.

GPS tracking not accurate, sometimes combines days so you can't get an accurate time, told me I'd run 318.99 miles in 30 minutes.

Works great! I love how I can stack my progress and enter my own trails/runs. Super accurate with miles and where I actually run.

Tried it tvice, it krashed at end of race and nothing saved. Tried a few run apps this was the first with lap function.

It's really time to update this app. It has been too long. Runningahead goes Mon to Sun. This app goes Sun to Mon. UPDATE THIS APP ALREADY...

Great app! I love not having to map out my runs anymore - or enter times in my log. All that info is easily uploaded to RA. Thanks!

I mistakenly answered a call at the very end of a run this morning and lost my run data. :( It also seems to over calculate the mileage sometimes...might be due to the gps on my phone though. Other than these bugs this app is great. I've been using it for almost a year now with very few problems.

Although this app has some good reviews, I can't give it a rating higher than 3 because the developer has failed to keep the app updated and resolve issues that have been posted in the reviews. The apps greatest feature is its connection with RunningAhead, other than that it is just basic. This app hasn't been updated since 2010.

Y70%
by Y####:

There are several other apps out there that are better than this one. Handyrunner doesn't link with a Bluetooth HR monitor and many other apps do.

Please add a tab for gps, bt and song control and I will give it 5 stars. Now force closing at save of runs.

At first I was ecstatic that it integrated with RunningAHEAD. When I saw the simple and functional user interface, I knew I would like it. But recently, it refused to log my walks/runs. And after noticing that it hadn't been updated since Sept.2013, I knew there would be no update. Too bad. I wouldn't bother with this app.

Y70%
by Y####:

Nice interface. But, phone is horrible in picking up sattelites at start. This app uses the last GPS location - often in a different zip code! Pls fix

Y70%
by Y####:

This app has great potential, however it needs some serious tweaking. More often than not, the manual run entries fail to save. Does not multi-task well without having multiple entries on the same run. When it does work, I do appreciate that it uploads to my RunningAhead account automatically.

H70%
by H####:

I have been using this app for several weeks now for work outs longer than 60 minutes at which time the pause button disapears and the stop button gets too small to sellect with sweaty fingers. This is my biggist issue with an otherwise good app.

Love this app. Would be even better if it would upload the course map along with the other data.

This app has been a great app over the last year+ for me. This year there has been multiple times I start handyrunner and watched for a few seconds to make sure it started. After my run it shows nothing and I have a "red guy" icon at the top my screen that says workout started with no other info. I am training for a marathon and can no longer count on HR. Love all the features but I need reliability.

Derek, please consider adding bluetooth connectivity to Polar Wearlink Heartrate strap.

if someone calls in the middle of your workout, you lose your progress and time and everything. be sure to disable phone service before your workout:/

All I can say is...... it doesn't work!!!!

Worked great on my old phone. This one, not so much, HTC One X. If I use any other app, it restarts my run

Y70%
by Y####:

Very basic app, I used it a lot though on my new phone (Galaxy i 9070) it crashed a lot and did not save tracks. It also crashes when you pull out phones accidently during workout. Besidw that ok.
