I do like the RunKeeper and I have tracked many activities with it since I came to the Amsterdam. However, I think it doesn’t have many necessary features that every service should have these days. And I think many old users suffer from some of these drawbacks, and they are maybe thinking about replacing it with another service. I read many times on the Internet that the RunKeeper is great but we are considering to move to another service for following reasons. I wish they spent more times on their product. I am not saying that they don’t put effort into it; however, as a user I think they are a bit lazy and satisfied about the product that they already have and they don’t feel the needs for making it better. In fact, this is just a personal opinion with hopes to make the lovely RunKeeeper even better. I asked this question on the Quora to increase the chance of participation and availability.
Although they have recently updated their iPhone and Android app, but I hardly find big changes in at least in the Android App. They look better than the earlier version but that’s it. Yesterday, they put the new Beta version of RunKeeper for Android (3.1) and I think they add some new features but not really useful. Maps improvement is very good but the Night Mode is something fancy and unnecessary in my point of view. Of course, people exercise at night but do they need Night Mode. If you tracking your activities outside probably you need your mobile light, and if one tracks an indoor activity he/she will not do it in the dark room? I have pointed out because I believe they should change their point of view to keep the RunKeeper great as always!
