## What is RunGen?

RunGen makes planning your next run, jog or walk easier than ever before. There is no more using tools online to measure out a loop or route around you, just to find out that it's not the length that you want it. Simply select the distance you like, press the generate run button and let RunGen's run maker find a brand new random route around your location on roads you may have not even known were there. Don't like your new walking path? Simply press the button infinitely until the run creator makes a route that fits your needs. 

There is no free running app or run mapper as good as RunGen for planning out your next random route. There are many examples of distance measurers, but that requires you to do a lot of work just to make a route that you may have already done before, and probably didn't measure correctly.

Get RunGen pro to unlock more features such as longer run distances for those of you that enjoy a run longer than just a few miles, or the ability to choose a location that isn't your current one. In the near future, expect updates to RunGen pro that will allow for saved runs, run tracking, and much more!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-04-21*

Great concept, but it simply does not work, meaning the app seems to have been left alone from the developers. Simple functions within the menu do not work. This probably needs to be removed from the App Store.

### 5/5 — A great young app!

*2020-05-30*

I can see this being used by many runners nationwide.

### 5/5 — Terrific app

*2020-05-29*

Wow!  Very innovating! 

Just wish the medium runs where a little longer.
