FAQ
What is Run Rivals?
Run Rivals is an audio-based GPS running game that turns your outdoor runs into dynamic chase experiences. It uses audio cues to simulate a rival pursuing you, with the soundscape adapting to your real-time pace and distance.
How does Run Rivals work?
You select a run mode and a rival, then start your run. The app uses your GPS location to track your pace and distance, adjusting the chase audio to reflect how close your rival is. You can listen to your own music while the game provides immersive sound effects.
Is Run Rivals safe to use?
Yes, Run Rivals is designed with safety in mind. The audio cues are intended to be heard without requiring you to look at your phone, and the game never instructs you to run into traffic or cross unsafely. You can use the pause function whenever needed.
What are the different run modes in Run Rivals?
Run Rivals offers Steady Pace, Varied Pace, and Sprint Intervals. Steady Pace is ideal for consistent runs, Varied Pace introduces rolling pressure changes, and Sprint Intervals are for short, intense bursts with recovery periods.
What are the different rivals available in Run Rivals?
You can race against the Zombie for free, which offers slow, relentless pressure. The Pro version unlocks other rivals like the Turtle for easier runs, the Cheetah for short, sharp chases, and the Shadow to race against your past performance.
Does Run Rivals have ads?
No, Run Rivals does not contain advertisements. The core experience is ad-free, with optional in-app purchases available for premium features and rivals.
What are the subscription options for Run Rivals Pro?
Run Rivals Pro offers a weekly subscription at $4.99 with a 3-day free trial, and a yearly subscription at $34.99. These subscriptions unlock all rivals and premium run modes.
Can I use Run Rivals offline?
While the core GPS tracking and audio features require an active location signal, the app saves your run data locally. You can review your route replay and results offline after completing a run.
