It seems that recently official app support has been picking up for Windows Phone, but there is always one fish that swims against the current. That fish is RunKeeper. They have announced on their blog that they will no longer be supporting their Windows Phone app, and it will be removed from the Marketplace by tomorrow.
RunKeeper says that the Windows Phone app (along with Symbian) make up less than 1.5% of their user base. In order to focus more on their “roots” they are dropping support for WP so they can focus more on iOS and Android. The app will still be functional for those that have it, but after tomorrow you won’t be able to find it in the Marketplace. We wish they would still keep it available to download with a “NO LONGER SUPPORTED” disclaimer. Sometimes an abandoned app is better than no app at all.
The best alternative to RunKeeper is Endmondo, which may even be a better app. Endmondo is available on all platforms, and has many of the same features, plus a lot more. Support the devs who do care about Windows Phone.
