Sports Tracker for All Sports Reviews

by PakaBoy808

Every time I do a walking exercise running SportsTracker on my Apple Watch when I go to sync to my phone SportsTracker crashes and just continues to crash every time I open it. I have to delete SportsTracker and reinstall it and obviously that workout isn’t saved. When I do other workouts it never has a problem. I do love using SportsTracker but I hate when things like this happen. Everything is up-to-date: my iPhone, SportsTracker and my Apple watch, everything’s running the most current version. Hope you guys can figure this out.

Both SportsTracker and the web version have a bug that has been around for many months where you cannot change your weight. In SportsTracker when you try to set your weight, SportsTracker just randomly scrolls to a weight setting that is hundreds and sometimes thousands of pounds different than what you entered. This throws off other calculations in SportsTracker like calories burned.

Another bug that has appeared is that after finishing a workout and clicking the Finish button SportsTracker can stall for a minute or two before you are allowed to proceed and save your workout.

I have contacted support several times with no response. Many reviews on here report the same issue. SportsTracker was great but these bugs really decrease the value. Looks like it may no longer be supported or maintained.

Terrible interface, too much going on at the same time, very confusing. The major flaw is that after an activity is finished, you need to go through several steps to save it. The “save” button is right next to “discard”, and it’s very easy to accidentally hit the latter and loose the information. Why not save each activity by default and then have an option to delete it if needed? I have been very careful with saving the activities but sometimes it would still lose all the information! Did I accidentally press discard instead of save? Or is SportsTracker doing something on its own? Frustrating. I also noticed several times that the trajectory it traces did not follow the actual route. Lots of adds doesn’t help make it look better. I’m going to switch to another app.

Been using this fitness app for bike and running fitness tracking for years. My wife uses Strava, but I like ST dashboards and feed back better.
One glitch that has been happening more frequently the past year is it will just stop recording your event without you knowing it. All you get is a message that it was interrupted and you could disregard what has been recorded or resume. If you resume the data is all jumbled and nothing makes sense. I have lost many workouts with this issue.

I love SportsTracker . It gives great information about my activity. I love the heat map. My biggest gripe with it is that when I am finished with an activity, I am always not keenly aware of SportsTracker , and always forget to “end” the activity. Usually, I am driving home then I remember to end the activity. By then, my metrics are all screwed up. It doesn’t allow me to “trim” my data back to the actual time of my activity. That way, I can get an accurate representation of my activity. I do my activities to have fun and engaged in the activity. Tracking metrics should be not be intrusive. It should allow me to be able to “forget” that I am tracking metrics and allow me to trim later.

Everything was awesome until cadence monitor was omitted about 1.5 years ago. with the new update... why the cadence monitor has been removed? I was told it will be fix beginning of this year.

I have been using SportsTracker since 2011... it should be at least 6 stars for me but with the omission of cadence monitor I am extremely unhappy as I need to use 2 different app to monitor my cadence.

I’ve been using this for years, however I only do three activities. I would love it if when I start an activity it would list the last few activities I did. It could replace the ”most popular” list (who cares). Needing to scroll through them all every time is inefficient.
Plus I do Pilates which isn’t listed so I choose “stretching”. Another fix suggestion.

I use SportsTracker to track my walks. I need to walk to manage pain & the doctor likes to know progress. Maybe I will be able to do something different later. I like the options for several types of activities all on the same app.

I’ve been using SportsTracker on my iPhones for a few years now. It does everything I could want EXCEPT over the last six months it will often (50%) not stop when I hit the stop button! It starts my workout with no problem, but it takes over 30 seconds of touching, pressing, tapping, and squeezing with different fingers to get it to stop, so nothing is accurate. I don’t have that problem with anything else—even buttons that are in the same location. When outside, I keep my phone in an inside pocket and my hands in gloves.

I’ve been using SportsTracker for well over 5 years and have never had an issue. Recently I’ve noticed that previous routes no longer have the correct distance at the end. The distance has been as much as a 1/4 mile more than the correct distance. I checked to see if there was a new update to correct the problem and there are none. I’ve deleted app and will upload to see if that corrects the issue.

by Alioopshi

I love SportsTracker for tracking al types of activities that I do. But PLEASE add either 1. A search function to search for activities in the sport list or 2. keep ALL previous activity types in the “recent” section at the top. I do 5 types of exercise regularly, and I hate having to scroll through the whole list to find the one I want when it isn’t in the recent section.

I’ve used SportsTracker for many years and it tracks everything! From running out doors to rising dirt bikes with the family on ride days. Gym workouts and treadmill run. You name it I have tracked it. I absolutely love my sports tracker and I have no reason to use a different app. This one does everything I need.

I’ve been taking evening walks after work in my hilly neighborhood for years but I’ve only really known the time I put into this activity. I’ve had a vague sense of the distance, but with SportsTracker I can see how fast I’m walking, how much altitude I gain, how many steps I take, etc. I I didn’t realize that I’m often going three or four miles each evening, with a variance of 200 to 600 feet of altitude gain. Now that I can see all of these details, it seems like much more of an accomplishment than I realized. I also like to try and outdo myself to try and go just a little bit faster when I repeat each of my different routes and SportsTracker shows the comparison. Love it!

The old Sports Tracker app before 4.0 version is no longer supported. It is not compatible with the security protocols and thus no longer able to communicate. The old version is not compatible with iOS 10 and newer.

I still think that the 3.x is the best tracker app I have had used. What a pity...

by Runner Short Changed

Update:
After reporting SportsTracker crashing on my watch, the tech support team contacted me immediately, informed me that they are working on a fix with the latest Apple Watch upgrade. I am impressed with the superb communication and work ethics!
SportsTracker is the best integrated running app I have used, out of a dozen. The stats offered are very informative and motivational. I can compare my performances when running the same route, instead of competing with others (sorry, Strava). I especially love the international heat map! So when traveling, I can easily find trails near me.
SportsTracker also offers coaching and merch drawings to keep you engaged.

This is my second incident with SportsTracker not loading on Apple Watch after the most recent app update.
I normally LOVE SportsTracker! When paired with my Apple Watch, it tracked my heart rate and it displayed detailed workout information. Since the upgrade in March, SportsTracker doesn’t even load on my Apple Watch. I tried uninstall and reinstall SportsTracker both on the phone and watch to no avail.
Please fix it. Thank you!!

Been using SportsTracker for many years. Have lost track how many exactly. Use primarily for running, hiking and power walking. As a means to track my routes, miles, times, speeds, and progress. And to keep my sanity. Have not run into any issues with app along the way. Always there for me. Highly recommend.

by Bdotson1

Been using it over Strava for two years. It is more consistently stable plus I love the interface and great Apple Watch UI!

Just an all around great app and the heart rate zones are excellent. I highly recommend this app!

UPDATE: Yesterday I saw just how much better of a cyclist SportsTracker has made me: My average speed displayed as 3818mph and apparently my favorite trail of 12 miles is now over 6000 miles long. Wow! I must be epic or something! Either that... or SportsTracker has a bug as of late? Nah - Im just all that!

by Xzenk

This is a great app and I can use it on my Apple Watch. I can leave my phone behind and it has no trouble tracking me. I use it when I Horseback ride (could you add that as a sport??). My big concern is the mileage tracking on the watch switched to kilometers from miles. I really like miles. It converts it on my app but I want it to go back on my watch. This could make me look for a new tracking app but I really like this one!
Can you fix it? I couldn’t find anyplace to send a message

by Alex1987q

Not sure if it the best sport tracking app out there, however I am using it since the pre-touch mobile phones era (on my smart Nokia phones) until this day and I could not be more satisfied. I simply do not care about other apps.

It is non-intrusive, simple&quick to use, not bothering you with the ads, pop-ups, notifications and similar. Simply, it performs perfectly the work it is designed for and lets you do your excercise.

Top and must-have recommendation (even if you are “only” walking).

I’ve been using this since January of this year per doctors orders. Since I had another stroke, he wanted me to walk at least 5 miles a week. I also had to prove to him. Go figure! Sooo, the first of month I show him my progress. It’s been 8 months now and I’m on track. Not sure what I would do without SportsTracker. It’s saves my life and keeps my doctor off my back. He also thinks I lying.. :-). Anyway, wish I could pay for the whole thing, but I’m on disability. So it’s going to take awhile. For this to happen. Great App! Richard J Bowden

I use this tracker for everything I do. I used it when I was backpacking in June on Eagle Rock Loop in Arkansas it actually saved us from getting lost a couple times when I would check where we were I would see our track looking like a pretzel then we would get back on course. Sometimes the map wouldn’t be in the background but it still tracked all of our steps and I could see our line. Once we got back on grid, the map loaded and it was really cool to see our route. I love all the info it gives from your workout as well. Great app!! I highly recommend it.

by Csafgrey

The new revision is great! Now, when I walk 4 miles, it says I’ve walked 6 1/2, or maybe 9.2. Who knows!!

Today, I walked a route I know to be about 2.25 miles. this app said I walked 3.15 miles at 5.5 mph!! What is wrong with SportsTracker now?

Today I walked about 5 miles. The tracker said I walked over 8 miles. Before walking, I deleted SportsTracker and then obtained it again. I’ve also completely closed down my IPhone6S snd restarted it. The route indicator (blue line) is semi-accurate—squiggly line and occasionally a straight line??? I got version 4.2.6. Can you fix this? Thanks.

As a rule, I don’t write reviews in SportsTracker Store. But I have been using SportsTracker for a month, and it is simply amazing. I have never imagined that there would be an app that could do what this does to track my cycling activity, and I am astounded by how well this works and how much I’ve come to rely on it in such a short period of time.

by DAinMichigan

Used it about 6 times now and very pleased with how easy it is to use and how I don’t need my glasses to see the data important to me (speed, distance, time, etc.) I’m not a super athlete - I’m just using it to make sure I’m walking the distance I want and for the time I want and at my target speed. Perfect for my needs!

I am an avid walker. I have had SportsTracker for 8+ years and have used it in several countries to record my walks.
I also works great to track my gym sessions and yoga classes.
It doesn’t matter if you are outside of WiFi range. It will record your walk and pull in a map when you are near WiFi.
I highly recommend it!
