So I post a quick review this evening comparing Nike+ and Runkeeper. I decide to send out a link to the review on Twitter. Within 10 minutes of tweeting the link, the developer of Runkeeper replies and states that one of the features I've suggested (posting status updates without map data) is "coming soon". How cool is that? It's great to hear back directly from a software developer, and it's great to see that features suggested by users are actually being incorporated into the product!
It's been over 30 minutes now since the blog post and tweet went live, and I have yet to have any response or commentary from the folks at Nike, and I don't really expect one will be forthcoming.
If you have an iPhone 3G/3GS and are a runner (or do any other sort of outdoor sport), pay the $10 and buy Runkeeper. Totally worth it, if anything just to support such a responsive developer.

I follow @runkeeper on Twitter, but I don't actually own an iPhone, so can't install the app, but am still intrigued by the concept. Can't get enough of how much attention RunKeeper has gotten over the last few months (CNN, NIKE, etc.)
ReplyDeleteI'm a runner and I haven't gotten out in a ew weeks. Keeping up with this topic makes we want to get some new shoes. :-)
I highly recommend an iPhone... I used an iPod touch for about a year before picking up the iPhone. It's a remarkable device, and far more user-friendly than any cell phone I've ever used. Having Runkeeper on it is just a bonus!
