Pros and cons of Run Watch - GPS Running Watch for tracking, mapping and memorizing routes app for iPhone and iPad

Run Watch - GPS Running Watch for tracking, mapping and memorizing routes app good for

Good app for those who want to keep track ! A shame that we cant map the runs before hand on the map so as to better plan our run !
I use this app whether Im walking or running outdoors or in on a treadmill. I like that Im able to manually enter my activities. The only problem I have is sometimes the signal is low outdoor and drops my activity...
I walk the dog every day on trails, love that I can see my walk on satellite and see beyond the trail, all swamps & side trails. Great info on the walk itself. Best app on my iPhone.

Some bad moments

The update destroyed my old tracks and save only worked once since then. When pressing the bottom "save" the programm goes to the home screen and no entry in the calender. Please correct ASAP, was a good program b/4 the update!
Shitty app since the update!!! I want my lost data and money back!!
This stupid app have destroyed all my routes – anywhere only start and end points and single straight line between them! Thank you very much! Damn, a crap update from 1.3 version!
Good idea but full of bugs, I sent an email but neither answers nor fixed..
After the update, I could not see all of my data. I exported the data as a CSV file, emailed it to myself from inside the app, and viewed the results in a spreadsheet. All of the run data associated with each route was missing except for the last run in each route. The run data that is now lost forever is many months of running. The app also crashes now. And I do not trust it to record my run data going forward, after reading others problems after the update. I emailed the app support at bhi technologies. I do not expect them to do anything about my issue. They cant bring the data back. The app did have a way to backup and restore. That kluge way of doing things should have been my first indication that these guys are not serious. Similar apps can store your data in the cloud, so you never lose it. I only wish I could get my money back. These guys do not deserve it.
When I tried the lite version it worked great for 5 runs. Then I switched to the paid one, it did not sync my previous rubs and since the upgrade it does not save my runs. It works great until you try to save, then it kicks me out and does not save the information. I am switching to runtastic. Runtastic is more money, but I guess you get what you pay for.
