^accuracy ng smartphones ay dependent sa signal, kapag may mga buildings medyo sumasablay. Pero magandang may ganitong tool kasi hindi ko na kailangang mastress kakabilang ng ikot sa Ultra or sa UP.

Pang iPhone naman ang app review...naka Android ako which I think has some differences...in particular sa user interface (i don't have the "Cheers" sa smartphone ko, but the tablet has--depende siguro sa version ng AndroidOS).

As for accuracy....since based sya mainly sa GPS, you can't be "tracked" indoors obviously (the accelerometer will just kick-in), and pag surrounded ka ng buildings (which I have no problems with), but then it would help if your smartphone is of the A-GPS type...but I think that would be added cost(?) ata with your network service provider (which shouldn't really be an issue coz naka Unli plan naman ata ang iPhoners right? Overall, based on experience having a running GPS app is better for longer runs and/or walks and for plotting your location (its fun making shapes of your runs)

Speaking of which...

Ang aga at ang layo mo naman mag run! Pero ba't hindi nakikita ang location mo?

^LOL bakit hindi mo kita? Hindi ganyan ang view sa akin. Eto nakikita ko:



Condura Skyway Marathon kasi kanina, kaya maaga. 2am andun na kami.

So far, accurate siya kapag free of obstructions, kasi kahit yung sa fairview runs ko may problem sa tracking eh. Tapos nowadays, mejo $ucky yung app, nagsstop siya so hindi nya narerecord yung buong distance. Nakakainit ng ulo minsan, kaya parang gusto ko na ng Garmin or yung Runmeter na app. (Boo sa iOS dahil walang runstatic, mukhang cool ang platform nya)

Any other na app na maayos pala na nakakarecord ng run? So far, na-try ko yung Smart Runner at Run Keeper. Pero mas okay pa rin yung hitsura ng Nike + Running. Naghahanap ako ng makakatalo sa kanya.

May number number pa pala sa Nike App...

Sa Garmin isang linya lang...

I think the Nike+ Running GUI features is ok na compared to most (the few that I've used/seen) although sa GPS yung lang nga, questionable ang accuracy) but that's more on the hardware and the user's location rather than the software/app...im "working" towards improving it
If you want a more reliable (and cheaper) alternative, mag Nike+ Sportband ka na lang (to compliment/back-up GPS apps)

Or, kung GPS apps talaga ang trip mo, try using Zombies,Run (mas accurate ang GPS maps kesa sa Nike+, may gameplay/drama pa while doing your runs/training and mas maraming synched info...pati songs played...yun lang nga, hindi free ang app and not sure if meron for iPhone.



PS: Di ata kita ang GPS graph mo kse hindi naka "share" ang location sa Nike+ profile mo eh ....wait...saken ba nakikita mo?!?
