2.0 out of 5 stars very piggy July 18, 2011

This app really does nothing that the popular MyTracks app doesn't already do for free. Both will create GPS tracks of your runs or bike rides and record your time and distance. JogTracker Pro records BlueTooth HRM data. MyTracks records HRM data as well as bicycle cadence and power meter data. JogTracker shares your routes via an obscure proprietary web site. MyTracks shares via the much more powerful and popular Google Maps.

I'm giving JogTracker a below average rating because it is a huge memory hog. Even when I stop recording and close the app, it still leaves a huge 20MB process running on my phone. MyTracks does not do that. What is this process doing, other than slowing down my phone?

Uninstalled. Not recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars It is OK but there are better options available July 18, 2011

By Shannon Bradford VINE™ VOICE

While this is a nice little app that has some useful features, it is overshadowed by other applications that have more features (like CardioTrainer, Endomondo) or other apps with a stronger community/forum support and a better interface in my opinion (like RunKeeper). Right now there is a LOT of competition in exercise apps that monitor your route and give you feedback on pace, and heart rate. If this developer continues to develop this app, it might compete, but right now it falls short in my opinion after having tested out more than 20 of these kinds of apps.

It would be nice if other reviewers here with high status as reviewers would mention specifics instead of just writing a nicely worded, but otherwise empty review.

3.0 out of 5 stars Web site goes down October 1, 2012

This has been the 4th time that the website associated with this app has either been hacked or down or now it seems to be another website altogether ex.Welcome to Parallels!
It has become to frustrating, as I was using it everyday to cycle and keep track of my progress online. Now I am looking for another app to fill my needs.
