Verdict
Runkeeper's basic tracking is accurate and easy to use for free, but a few features that used to be free now sit behind a subscription paywall, and syncing with watches and other devices is a recurring complaint.
Best for
Someone who wants straightforward GPS run tracking without paying anything and doesn't care about syncing to a Garmin or Apple Watch for detailed metrics.
Dealbreaker
If you rely on syncing with an Apple Watch or Garmin device, or expect historical run comparisons to stay free, reviewers report both broke down over time.
