Comments on Ghostracer - GPS Run & Cycle for Android
★★★★★Andy Crawley· Jun 6, 2023
Really intuitive, easy to use and has some nice features. Runs well on Wear OS (in my case a samsung watch 4) and sync's well with Strata.
★★★★☆Logical Brain· Jul 25, 2021
Hands down, best running app you can get for watch OS!!! Love the customizability!!! Only issue in fossil gen 5 is, the heart rate and other sensors not working in paired mode. Please look into this
★★★★☆Nigel Taylor· Jan 21, 2021
I'm capturing power data from a sensor but whilst I can see the graph inside the Ghost racer app, that data isn't exported in the GPX/TCX file (or pushed to Strata etc.)??
★☆☆☆☆Eddie Hao· Jun 14, 2025
GPX file import does not work in the premium version. Nothing happens when I click to import a GPX file
★★☆☆☆John Staunton· Sep 19, 2021
Unfortunately basically unusable on the Tic watch Pro - if the screen isn't always on, it kills the CPU and takes 10-15 seconds just to get the watch screen to turn back on. Then crashed yesterday midway through a run, and the whole watch had to be restarted just to get anything usable again. I only use it in standalone mode. Nice idea, poorly executed.
★★☆☆☆Alexander Terp· Feb 12, 2021
I would like to just be able to select a previous run I've done and run against that, but this doesn't appear possible, which is a massive downside for me. I'd love to be corrected, but as far as I can tell, you can only import segments or created routes from Strata. Segments are too small for my route and I have a free version of Strata, so I can't create routes. Outside this, the UI is also pretty rough and non-intuitive. Could do with a re-design.
