Runner's World for iPad app review

Runner’s World

Price: FREE (subscription required to access content)

Runner’s World by Rodale, Inc. is the official app for the most popular monthly running magazine in the world.

With this app you will have access to tons of information covering a variety of running-related topics, such as training, nutrition, equipment reviews, and injury-prevention.

Runner’s World also includes other fun features like app-exclusive audio and video content, quizzes, and slideshows. Each monthly issue features original columns and articles with lots of information for runners of all levels.

Subscription to Runner’s World is available in annual format and is priced at $19.99 per year. This subscription will automatically renew 24 hours before the end of the billing period.

Alternatively, single issues can be purchased for $4.99 each.

Runner’s World was updated to version 1.6 in early-February of 2013. The current version has a total of 111 customer ratings with an average rating of four out of five stars.

I found the app itself to be slightly temperamental with a few minor stability issues that I’d expect to see fixed in the next update. Aside from that, the content of the magazine is what you’d hope to find in any paper edition of Runner’s World; entertaining and informative, it almost makes me want to throw on my running shoes now.

For: iPad with iOS 4.3 or later.
