## What is Forrest?

Forrest is an innovative fitness tracking app designed for iOS users who want to add a fun and challenging twist to their running and cycling workouts. Forrest gives your usual workouts a new competitive dimension. Your runs and rides are no longer solitary endeavours, but exhilarating races against virtual opponents (ghost racers) or your personal bests and previous races. In the latest Version 2.0, we’ve amplified the excitement by enabling you to challenge your friends wherever they are in the world, infusing social connectivity into every stride. The purpose built race screen provides real-time insights into your position during the race, while audio prompts keep you focused on your goal even when your iPhone is locked, empowering you to fully embrace the race, whether you’re on foot or two wheels.
It turns your runs and rides into races by giving you someone to compete against.

Here's how it works:

1. Choose from a variety of preloaded race options or craft your own custom race event according to your preferences.

2. Add virtual opponents in the form of ghost-racers that'll run or ride at a speed you choose.

3. Add your personal best times or previous race results to race against yourself.

4. Add your friends. Take the challenge to the next level by racing against your friends wherever they are in the world.

5. Race!

6. Hear audio prompts on your race progress while you run or ride:
	• "You've overtaken your personal best to take 1st place."
	• "That's 30 minutes. You've completed 5.3km." 
	• "Your target ghost racer is 12 seconds ahead of you in 2nd place."

7. Win! Get faster and fitter.

8. Review your race with maps, graphs, and export to Strava or Apple Health.

9. Share your achievements on social media with integrated social sharing.

Forrest for Apple Watch gives you the freedom to race without your phone. Enjoy the same fun race experience from your wrist with live stats, race progress, and opponent times; hear the same audio prompts you’re used to hearing on iPhone; and listen to and control your favourite workout music.

### 3/5 — Race my brother

*2026-05-11, version 2.4.1*

Now I can race my brother even if he lives 50 miles away. He can’t cheat

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-05-09, version 2.4.1*

Love how motivating this app is!  I like to run alone and get lost in a playlist or podcast but then fun to ‘compete’ against ghost friends!

### 5/5 — Cycling App

*2026-04-29, version 2.4.1*

I love how encouraging this app is! I have a bike and I enjoy cycling and this app allows me to compete with friends and gives me  the extra push that’s needed.

### 5/5 — Running app

*2025-03-16, version 2.3*

Excellent app; it’s amazing how you can engage and motivate yourself through the app, like some sort of social media.

### 2/5 — Awesome but

*2024-04-28, version 2.1.2*

It crashes a lot, too much ugh

### 4/5 — Can’t save run

*2024-04-21, version 2.1.2*

I often could not save my run. Not sure if other people have the same problem.

### 5/5 — Excellente app 🏃‍♀️ 🚲

*2024-04-11, version 2.1.2*

Cette application est très fun et motivante pour nous donner envie de faire une activité physique et ainsi rester en bonne santé. 
Je préférais qu’elle soit traduite dans d’autres langues et en particulier en français, please.
Bravo au développeur !

### 5/5 — Incredibly motivating

*2024-02-14*

This might be the app I think about most on my phone. I normally don’t care about racing and tend to stick to my easy paces, but something about coming in 2nd to Andres has me fired up to train. 😁

### 5/5 — Really great app

*2024-01-01, version 2.1*

I think it’s great how it encourages you to beat your personal best. Running against your previous race certainly helps to make that possible.

Jeff’s Rule:

• Jeff from Boston dropped us a line with a great suggestion to make Forrest even better. We agreed it made sense, so now, after finishing a free run or ride, the app will smartly auto-set your next race. Thanks for the tip, Jeff—you’re a star!

Safety Net:

• Let’s face it, crashes happen (though we hope they don’t!). If Forrest ever quits on you mid-race, don’t worry—we’ve got your back. Your race will be waiting right where you left it when you reopen the app. Crisis averted!

Comment on races:

• Nothing says support like a personal message. You can now add comments to your friends' races. Let them know they “smashed it”, offer pacing advice, or simply say you “love it!”
