"Workout tracker"

Reviewed by: Emmanuel Lund / Dec 23, 2011

Runtastic GPS Coach is a workout tracker which uses geolocation and calories counter

Runtastic is a professional coach tool for those who want to track their workout. It allows you to set routes, track the distance and the time it took to you, as well as the heart rate (if you're logged in and if you have the specific item for it: Wearlink+Bluetooth). It uses GPS to track your route in the map. In this regard, it should be said that it's quite accurate, more than other we've tried (it's full integrated with Google Maps).

What's more, you can add sessions manually: that's it, set your workout to your liking. You can set what kind of activity, distance (km), duration, time and calories goal. Likewise, you can let the app ask you what kind of sport you're going to practice every time you start a new activity: jogging, biking, nordic walking, skating, snowboarding...
It keeps a history of your workouts in order to monitor your progresses.

When you have finished your session you can save it and, after that set the bpm average, notes, what was your feeling, what surface you were practising it through, how was the weather and temperature. All this stuff will help you to know if you're progressing given the same conditions.

This is the free version with the basic features. If you want to get social sharing, more sports in the list, extra statistics, cheering during the activity with friends and many other extra features, you will need to upgrade to the pro version (€4.99).

Runtastic GPS Coach has been developed by runtastic, an emerging developer who has just launched this app on the market with remarkably success though.

If you're trying to get fit, this could be a reasonably option to motivate yourself. Recommendable.
