Which running app should I use?

What this episode covers

Recode's Kara Swisher and The Verge's Lauren Goode discuss the generally disappointing state of running and workout apps, some of which suffer from poor design while others lack crucial features. Swisher vents her frustrations with Nike's entries in the fitness app space, which she says have gone from best in class to mediocre. Later in the show, the duo shares app recommendations from our readers and listeners and wonders if gamified experiences like Pokémon Go and Zombies, Run! are the solution.
