    Yeah I tried reviewing for all my devices, PC, iPhone and iPad. It won't let me. I'll wait tomorrow and see if it works.

  3. iTunes is not taking reviews on this app.

    If you look at the reviews on iTunes, they are all before 4/15/11 when you first on posted this thread. I cannot post a review on this app either through iTunes or with iPhone. This also happens with another app called Clay Moon so I know there is some iTunes glitch going on for sure.

    Here is my take for what it is worth.

    First, a disclaimer. I am not a runner but I am interested in the technology in this kind of app and I will explain why at the end of my review.

    Very cool use of iPhone technology. Looking at various running/walking related apps on iPhone, I noticed that there are two types - GPS apps and accelerometer apps. Of the former group, I installed and tried WalkJogRun, RunTrainer, RunKeeper, runtastic PRO, and Run Logger 5. I don't own any other accelerometer pedometer apps for first hand impressions but I looked at a review at http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/iphone/articles/104090.aspx. The GPS apps are distance training oriented whereas the accelerometer apps are more for fitness and burning calories. Pedometer PRO GPS + has both GPS and accelerometer modes so, in a way, it has got the best of both worlds. I like the alarms that keep you at a certain pace or lets you know if you have reached your distance goal. There are many more features to explore. I would recommend this app without reservations.

    What I like to see is voice prompts instead of just beeping. I realize that would mean potentially multiple languages but it would be so much cooler when your trainer talks to you. I would love to be pushed to keep going with prompts like good job, keep it up, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes to go, 10 minutes to go, 1 mile to go, 5 minutes to go, that's it you can cool down now, etc. For my personal selfish needs, I would like to see the accelerometer technology applied to cycling cadence (outdoors with GPS or indoors exercise bike). I can also use daily notification when I should hit the gym. That's all folks. :rolleyes:
