Although imapmyrun is buggy, I still like to use it for the social network benefits as it seamlessly notifies my map my run account, Twitter and Facebook when I hit save.

The only error I have not found a fix for is the spiking of the GPS, sometimes I get to the end of my run and the Reading will show something ridiculous like 72 miles. I think this may be down to other applications running simultaneously.

The main issues are the weak GPS signal, which if you start the app a few minutes before setting out it often fixes, although I start it off with a weak signal and it is fine.

Make sure you have your data push turned off. I think we are asking to much if you expect your poor iPhone to handle iPod, iMapmyrun and receiving your emails at the same time.

The other major bug is the saving of the run via 3G. My first run ends at the gym where I wish to save. Every time I receive an error when I try. The only way I have managed to get around this is to come out of the app and reload it, when it restarts you will see the message “you have unsaved runs” hit save and more often than not you will be successful.

An annoyance that should also be addressed if the developers read this post, is the fact that after you hit stop the pace and time continues to count. Alongside the save error issue this produces an inaccurate recording nearly every run.
