I'd guess it must be down to the quality of the gps receiver on your phone. There is no way that any of my phones have been that inaccurate. A quick straw poll (OK..... I asked 2 mates who also run) concur with me, although one of them uses a differents app (sports tracker I think he said)

If all apps were as inaccurate as your experience then I doubt if anybody would use them.

Pretty accurate is good enough for most training runs. Competitive PBs should really come from official timing anyway.
