Map My Tracks: ride run walk Reviews

by Bingley52522

Two problems with MapMyTracks:(1) when I turn it on at the outset of an activity and then stop the tracking when the activity is completed, MMT on more than one occasion fails to update information on the activity, so from MapMyTracks it appears I I did nothing when I actually walked over 5 miles. (2) When I start MapMyTracks , it blocks any podcast I happen to be listening to, so I have to restart the podcast. I’ll keep trying MapMyTracks for a bit longer get but may delete it if I keep experiencing these problems.

Normally I would give MapMyTracks 5 stars. I have used it for a number of years and it does everything that you would expect it to - with a catch. I downloaded for free to track bike rides and then upgraded so I could access elevation data from my rides. Along comes a new version and once again I can't get access to my elevation data without upgrading yet again. Fool me once shame on you....there's not going to be a second time. So in the end, it's certainly useful for free but I'd think hard about upgrades. If not for legacy info, I'd replace this with a cycling computer.

We enjoy exploring pathless natural and wildlife areas. MapMyTracks helps is get back to the car, and understand the terrain.
It’s be great for it to also interface with publicly owned boundaries for assistance in not trespassing unintentionally. Perhaps that’s on a map layer I’ve not experienced yet.
Reliable even in remote spaces.

I️ have been using MapMyTracks for quite a while as an in-line skater. I️ was and still am relieved MapMyTracks has inline/rollerblading as an exercise option. Except for a few places where MapMyTracks seems to think I️ went way beyond my speed limit, the GPS works really well for me! I️ really enjoy watching the video through the map and seeing exactly where I️ was when I️ went up/down or how fast I️ had been going!

The only two things I️ would have to complain about at this moment would be to having it work on Apple Watch, that way I️ can put my phone away completely and just stop/pause or start on the watch.

The second thing would be that none of my fitness recording apps accept MapMyTrack data. Always have to add it in manually and they DON’T have rollerblading as a type of exercise 😔

Of course will continue to use MapMyTracks despite these two things, thank you so far developers!

I like that I can track and save my workouts and see the time and distance. It helps keep accountability with myself. However, the oath that I use isn’t a straightshot, meaning there are curves and I don’t feel the tracking is accurate 100% so my distance tends to be slightly off, hopefully not by much. Also, it would be cool to have more features like tracking miles on shoes, motivational notifications, etc.

This is a really good app for horseback riding. I like that it gives you your fastest speed along with a whole bunch of other information. I also like that you can go back and review your ride later to see how fast you went, the elevation, etc. at specific parts of the trail. The only problem I have had so far is that it sometimes it will not shut off when I press the stop button. It also drains the battery of my iPhone after a couple hours of use.
Update: every once in a while the mph messes up. Today it recorded our top speed as 68.9 mph when it was probably more like 12 mph. Can’t find anywhere to submit this issue in the website.

Map My Tracks is a great app to keep track of your works. They give the exact distant and timing of what you did. There’s many features I haven’t even explored yet. I have recommended MapMyTracks to family and friends

Tried several other walking apps but they all stopped working as my iPhone was updated. This one works great so far on my iPhone 10. Distance walked is consistent with Fitbit app.

Map My Tracks does exactly what it’s name states. I’ve used it for several months and am able to keep track of how much I’ve ridden each week. Easy to use and syncs to my Apple fitness app.

Fast and easy to use. Intuitive in format and usage, I continue to use while other apps have come and gone.

Works well and records distance walked and time it took, also pace. Keeps good track and can progress and challenge yourself more when you know how far, how fast you’ve been walking. It’s a great app!

I'm really happy with MapMyTracks. Its simple to use and is great a good tool for keeping track of overall distance and altitude gained. Also I don't have to worry about getting lost since I can use it to backtrack if necessary. Works great on my iPhone 5.

It works very well. Had used another big name ap for years but then all of a sudden it stopped recording the distance properly. Communicated with ap maker and could not get it corrected even after several attempts of reloading the ap. Map My Tracks on the other hand works very well. I especially like the automatic pause when I stop to chat with someone on the road

I wanted an app that would track my esk8 adventures, happy to have found this one! Easy to use, gives you all sorts of data about your trip like; mileage, elevation changes, mph and afterward you can replay you trip which is fun to see! Going to pay for upgrades soon. Thanks guys:)

I want to easily track the total distance and total time that I walk. MapMyTracks does that without requiring tons of private information. Easy to use and I push myself when I have this in my hand.

I have tried several apps for tracking my rides but this is by far the best. Even without any service, the gps continues to work. MapMyTracks continues to run even while the music app or podcasts are playing. Has not failed yet.

I use MapMyTracks when riding my horse. It seems accurate and the map of each ride is really helpful and a good record of my conditioning workouts. I like the ability to enter comments about my ride also. Very useful app. I highly recommended it for horseback riding.

I just wanted a simple, easy to understand method of mapping my cycling while trying to improve my general health. I didn’t want to waste my time navigating a complex app, and this was exactly what I wanted. It actually serves as a form of motivation that has enhanced my exercise regimen, and that adds to the value proposition!

I’ve been using this app since 2014 and can go back to see all my historical activities. Its great for anyone who loves being outside and multi-sports.
Sea kayaking, sailing, hiking, walking, snowshoeing, etc are all there and it will track you via gps when cell service is not available, downloading a map once you are back in range. I’m using the free version.

Much better than the other apps of this type I have used. Map My Tracks is easy to use, gives me all the feedback I need and doesn’t ask me for personal information.

Love how MapMyTracks works. Functionally it is intuitive. I like that I can keep track of my miles, pace, type of workout.
My only real complaint is that I’ve noticed over the last couple months I’ll finish a ride and MapMyTracks recorded nothing. The history will show no map, no miles traveled, just the time I rode my bike until I hit the stop button. It’s happened exactly 5 times over the last 2 months. Frustrating as I set my mileage goals to say the least. Considering other apps now. Need something I can rely on.
