Comments on Ghostracer - GPS Run & Cycle for Android
★★★★☆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
★★★★★Andrew Clifton· Oct 17, 2020
Favorite run tracker for my Wear OS devices. Strava and endomondo have issues trying to force them to use the watch GPS
★★★★☆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.)??
★★☆☆☆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.

Paid for premium, and I then found Ghost racer doesn't get a GPS fix in standalone mode - but for me the whole point of this app is not to carry my phone while running. Using a OnePlus Watch 3.

GPX file import does not work in the premium version. Nothing happens when I click to import a GPX file
