Run Across America

Update: the tracking settings link has been addressed. Thank you! Original review: This has been a pretty great app, up until the latest UI update. Now it's nearly impossible to tap the "tracking settings" link to switch modes. It's pretty essential functionality. I'll go back to 5 stars if that's addressed. It also forces landscape mode if I turn my system font size to small, so that's rather unpleasant, but I don't think it's as important as the tracking settings.

This app worked great for the first 4.64 km of my first recorded 5 km walk/run. Even in my hoodie, it would announce when I had completed the first, second, third and fourth kilometer. It tracked my progress and location very accurately. But then with less than half a kilometer to go, the progress and location processes froze. I had to manually enter the final time. I might give it another chance, but once burned, twice shy.

Terribly designed. Lacks major functionality, like submitting issues through the Problem link (there is no submit button). When completing a timed run using the internal tracking capability, there is no button to save it. Forces landscape mode, and doesn't even offer a portrait mode. I develop mobile apps... I wouldn't dare ask to be paid for creating an app like this.
