Tractalis app review: a collection of route maps of famous running events 2021

Introduction

One of the most activities in the world at the moment is definitely running. If you nowadays log in to Facebook or any other social network, you will see that half your wall is covered in people trying to show off their RunKeeper or Nike+ times and progress from a running app.

The best iPhone apps for running

Personally I am not a runner, even though I love to go and see the marathon or similar events simply to see the athletes give it their all just to beat their own record. If you want to run one of these races, you don’t necessarily have to enter them.

You can also just run the route when the event is not happening and now developer Tractalis.com has released a rout tracking app with the same name that shows you exactly where the routes are.

The running route app is compatible with both iPad and iPhone and weighs in at just under 10 MB. Keep reading our review on this route maps app to see if it's exactly what you are looking for. It's definitely one of the better running route apps out there today.

What it Offers

As mentioned in the introduction, this app has a wide collection of different routes for cyclists and runners. The routes are visible on a map and easily marked by different landmarks on a map.

The app also has all kinds of details on the actual race, showing you what times the professionals cycled or ran it in. Every event also has an extended information page where you can find different information and intricate details on each event.  

App Design and Layout

The place where the app falls down is the app design. The app is not really easy to use and it can take a while to load, especially on 3G connections, as all the data from the app needs to be loaded from the Internet servers of Tractalis.

Best iphone and ipad apps

The app can be a fantastic solution for organizers though, as of course this app can also be used during the event by the organizers and competing teams alike. The last downside is that the app is only focused on the United States, as personally I would love to cycle the Tour de France in the off-season. 

Pros and Cons

Pros

• The app is free
• Tons of different event routes
• Information about each event

Cons

• The app isn’t designed very well
• Only usable in the United States
• An Internet connection is required to use the app

Conclusion

This app is a great solution for people who would like to track events as they are happening or for people who would like to try out the routes of certain events on their own. The app is only valid in the United States as no other continents have any routes logged into the app.

There are a lot of details in the app about said events, which gives it a good advantage. The app isn’t designed very well, but it is designed for both iPad and iPhone. The app is just about 10 MB.
