What is the best running app overall?
Much of the online consensus points to one of the most popular running apps, Runkeeper, for its real-time audio-guided workouts, regular supply of routes, and features like Gear Tracker, which notifies you to know when you need new running shoes.
What is the best running app with a free version?
Again, Runkeeper — which has free and paid versions — seems to (pardon the pun) run away with this category.
What is the best running app for beginners?
Definitely, C25K, which is designed with beginners in mind.
What is the safest running app?
There are a number of apps designed with runner safety in mind, among them ROAD iD, whose safety feature lets five of your chosen friends or relatives track your route via text or email.
