## What is RaceChall?

Race Chall is all about making hour daily exercise more fun and challenging. We believe that this is done by transforming them into a race!

If you have ever been in a race, you know the feeling of being behind someone. You HATE it, you push yourself, you fight, you work harder! You do NOT want to loose! You give in to the race!

Race Chall enables you transform your daily/weekly route into a race! When you race, you will see how far ahead or behind you are to your best race. You can also turn on the haptic engine and feel a vibration pattern if you are ahead or behind. Just like the athletes use a guiding light in some arena competitions, you will know if you are ON TRACK to a new record!

Since a race is never linear, Race Chall correctly follows the true track where speed will go up or down as it did in the actual best race. Because let us face it, we do not simply follow a static pace throughout the race.

How it works:
You start by creating an initial Personal Chall and complete the first initial race. This becomes the initial Best Time Race which will be your chall in your next race!

We Challenge you to make a Race!

Roadmap:
- You will get more race specific insights
- You will be able to create public challs, which will enable you to race against others in a live race without being in the same area!


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-01-13

App has received a face-lift + removed connections to cloud storage.

### 1.16 — 2022-11-19

Fixing some design issues for iPhone 14 and iOS 16.

### 1.15 — 2022-04-21

Just a small bugfix release.

### 1.14 — 2021-11-04

Finally added voice to the app. While you are in a race, the app can now speak and tell you how far you are ahead or behind. This works nicely with music, but remember to set your preferred prompt interval in settings.

The app now also works with haptic even while app is in the background and in your belt or around your arm.

### 1.13 — 2021-10-26

You cannot race at 100 % at every exercise. This is why you now can add a handicap percentage to your race. This will allow you to compete against your best race with the same race feeling, but at a given percentage slower pace. Have a great exercise!

This version also adds cloud storage to the product. We plan to release something we call live public races (RaceChalls), and we need to store data in the cloud for this. This new feature will be released soon! We also store statistical information about app usage. Please see updated Terms and conditions on our webpage.
