Our verdict on iSmoothRun
iSmoothRun records running and other fitness activities on iPhone and Apple Watch, with metrics including distance, pace, heart rate, cadence and power. It suits runners who want detailed watch-based tracking, custom intervals and connections to training services or Bluetooth sensors. Its Apple Watch app can track a run without an iPhone, which is useful for runners who prefer to leave the phone behind while still recording workout data.
Workout controls go beyond basic run logging: custom sessions can use pace, heart-rate zones or power, and audio cues provide workout announcements. Watch users can configure metric display pages, connect supported Bluetooth heart-rate and running-power sensors, and track shoe mileage and workout statistics. The app also exports activity data in GPX, TCX, KML, PWX and CSV, and integrates with Apple HealthKit, Strava, Runkeeper, SportTracks, SmashRun and MapMyRun. This breadth makes it a fit for runners who want to move workout data between services or retain files in common formats.
The US App Store lists a $4.99 price plus in-app purchases, and there is no free plan. Syncing structured plans from TrainingPeaks, Final Surge and TrainAsOne requires Pro; those services may make the app more compelling for runners already following plans there, but the Pro subscription adds a paid dependency. Choose iSmoothRun if phone-free Apple Watch tracking, sensor support and workout customization matter more than a free option. Runners seeking a free app or support beyond the iPhone and Apple Watch ecosystem should consider alternatives.
