An All-Encompassing Option

This app is really an all-encompassing option where you are given a number of practical easy-to-use tools as well as fun features to keep you motivated. How many running tracking apps also support the Game Center so you can earn achievements, compete against other runners, and rank on the leaderboards? The app can track your warm-ups, walks, jogs, and runs and then give you real-time statistics to show you how you're currently performing. This can greatly enhance your training obviously. What is also great is that even though you're given a number of options and tools nothing is confusing or hard to access. The app has user-friendliness as a top priority.

Using the App

So what can you expect with this app? It has a very simple and clean user interface, live voice feedback during your run, more than 25 achievements you can earn, six different leaderboards to rank on, and the ability to race against others in real-time. It's not just about fun features though, as you can also view in-depth statistics and data from your runs offered up in graph form. Set up the app to give you run reminders, track your calories burned, and in-run updates. If you do choose to race against other runners you'll get audio and visual prompts that alert you to who is currently behind you and who is ahead. By winning races you will begin to earn achievements. There are also other ways to win those achievements.
