The purpose of this study was to analyze user reviews of running applications using text mining. This study used user reviews of Nike Run Club and Runkeeper in the Google Play Store using the selenium package of python3 as the analysis data, and separated the morphemes by leaving only Korean nouns through the OKT analyzer. After morpheme separation, we created a rankNL dictionary to remove stopwords. To analyze the data, we used TF, TF-IDF and LDA topic modeling in text mining. The results of this study are as follows. First, the keywords 'record', 'app', and 'workout' were identified as the top keywords in the user reviews of Nike Run Club and Runkeeper applications, and there were differences in the rankings of TF and TF-IDF. Second, the LDA topic modeling of Nike Run Club identified the topics of 'basic items', 'additional features', 'errors', and 'location-based data', and the topics of Runkeeper identified the topics of 'errors', 'voice function', 'running data', 'benefits', and 'motivation'. Based on the results, it is recommended that errors and improvements should be made to contribute to the competitiveness of the application.
