Territor.io turns a run into a land grab. Close a loop on your route and the ground inside it becomes yours: painted in your color on a live map and worth points on the board. Run a bigger, smarter loop than your friends and you take theirs. Lost ground? Run it again and take it back. HOW IT WORKS • Start a run. Territor.io tracks it with GPS and keeps tracking with the screen off. (Continued use of GPS in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.) • Close a loop: circle back to where you started, or cross your own path. Any shape that encloses ground counts. • Finish to watch your captured area light up. • Already running with your Apple Watch? Turn on Apple Fitness sync in Settings (iOS) to bring those runs in automatically. They show up in your history and can be published to claim territory, just like runs you record in the app. • Publish when you're ready. Nothing is shared until you do. IT'S A TURF WAR The newest loop to enclose a patch owns it. Your territory is always up for grabs, and so is everyone else's — the map never stops moving. BRING YOUR RIVALS Create a private group, invite friends with a link, and share a map and leaderboard that belong only to you. Or publish to the Global game and take your place on the world board. RULES THAT CHANGE THE GAME Each group's season picks which rules it plays by: • Conditions: a hard run is worth more. Cold, heat, rain, snow, darkness and climbing all raise your multiplier, measured on our servers from where and when you actually ran. • Milestones: points for distance covered, a bonus for every week of your streak, and permanent trophies for your first 5K, 10K, half and full marathon. • Territory Decay: ground you don't re-run slowly fades and releases. Consistency beats one heroic land grab. • Landmarks: bonus points for looping around parks, monuments, museums and capitols. Either everyone can claim each place once, or only the first runner there gets paid. SEASONS AND TROPHIES A group sets its own season length — monthly, quarterly, yearly, or open-ended. When a season closes, the top three take home permanent trophies, and the map opens as unclaimed ground. Every past season keeps its own frozen board and map. SEE EXACTLY WHY YOU SCORED Tap any score for a full breakdown: the ground you're holding, what each active rule added, and the total. BUILT TO BE FAIR Scoring rules are set by Territor.io, never by group owners, so nobody can tune the game in their own favor. Weather, elevation and daylight are looked up server-side, so nothing your phone reports can inflate a score. Runs at impossible speeds are rejected. YOUR PRIVACY A run stays private to you until you choose to publish it. Other players see your username, your color and the shape of the loops you've published but never your real name, email or photo. We don't store the raw point-by-point GPS trail of your run on our servers, only the boundary of the loop you claimed. Lace up. The neighborhood is up for grabs. ## Key features - Capture territory by closing GPS loops - Compete with friends or globally - Customizable game rules and seasons - Earn points and trophies - Detailed score breakdowns - Apple Fitness sync ## Recent user reviews (3 of 3) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/territorio/id6785139321/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Good looking app! *2026-09-03* The app introduced a great way to play a game while getting out and about! A must have for people that need a purpose for their walks/runs in a competitive way. I also appreciate how informative the interface is. ### 5/5 — Territor.io lets you compete in private groups with people you actually know. SO FUN! *2026-09-03* I love that this app lets you join more than one private group competition and set different game modes for each one! I’m playing one with friends in the neighborhood so the turf war competition is strong! And another with family out of state (even though we don’t run the same area we are still competing to be the top scoring player based on distance covered). Such a fun game! And the competitive part is so great—I can’t stand to see someone has stolen my turf, so I get out there to take it back!! ### 5/5 — Ultimate Family Competition *2026-09-02* I’ve only been using it a couple weeks and I’m already hooked. My wife and I are already competitive and she keeps stealing all my turf!! I love the scoring and I love that the About Section is so thorough so I can figure out exactly how to crush my opponents lol! Hands down favorite gameified running app! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! I am happy you're enjoying the app. If you ever need support or have ideas for the apps improvement, feel free to reach out at forsyte.studios@gmail.com ## Frequently asked questions about Territor.io ### How does Territor.io work? Territor.io uses your device's GPS to track your runs. By closing a loop on your route, you capture the enclosed ground, which is then displayed on a live map and earns you points. ### Can I sync my Apple Watch runs with Territor.io? Yes, you can enable Apple Fitness sync in the app's settings on iOS. This will automatically import your Apple Watch runs to be used for claiming territory. ### How is territory ownership determined in Territor.io? The most recent loop to enclose a patch of ground claims it. Your captured territory is always open to being taken back by others, making it a dynamic turf war. ### Does Territor.io have ads? No, Territor.io is ad-free, allowing for an uninterrupted gaming experience. ### What kind of rules can be set for a Territor.io season? Seasons can include conditions like weather and elevation for score multipliers, milestones for distance and streaks, territory decay, and bonus points for looping around landmarks. ### Is my running data private in Territor.io? Your runs remain private until you choose to publish them. Other players will see your username and captured territory, but not your real name or raw GPS trail. ### What is the age rating for Territor.io? Territor.io has an age rating of 12+, making it suitable for a younger audience interested in gamified fitness. ### How often is Territor.io updated? The app was last updated on September 8, 2026, with version 1.0.25, indicating active development and support. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.0.25 — 2026-09-08 • Import your Apple Watch runs: Turn on Apple Fitness sync in Settings to bring in runs you recorded on your Apple Watch. They appear in your history and can be published to claim territory, just like runs you record in the app. • Delete individual runs: You can now remove a single run from your history without deleting your account. • Runs stay tied to their season You can publish a run to a board only while that season is running. ### 1.0.24 — 2026-09-07 • Import your Apple Watch runs: Turn on Apple Fitness sync in Settings to bring in runs you recorded on your Apple Watch. They appear in your history and can be published to claim territory, just like runs you record in the app. • Delete individual runs: You can now remove a single run from your history without deleting your account. • Runs stay tied to their season You can publish a run to a board only while that season is running. ### 1.0.23 — 2026-09-04 Version 1.0.23 is a feature-and-polish update. It adds no new permissions, background behaviors, sign-in requirements, purchases, or ads, so the 1.0.22 demo video and the App Review Information notes on file still apply. What changed and how to exercise it: - The first real Global season launched. The world board now runs a fresh **quarterly** season (with conditions, distance milestones, and a landmark race) starting Sept 1, 2026, and all Global play from the pre-launch alpha is preserved as a closed **Season 0** with its own frozen standings and podium. Everyone who ran in the alpha Global game receives a one-time **Founding Runner** trophy. To exercise: open the Global board's season banner (quarterly season, countdown to Dec 1), open its past-seasons list to see Season 0 and its champions, and open Profile → Trophies to see the Founding Runner badge. This is a server-side game configuration change; the app renders it with no new data or permissions. - Landmark map markers now use a distinct symbol per importance tier (a plain pin, a monument, or a castle), and the landmark point values were rebalanced. In a group or the Global game with a Landmark rule enabled, open the map to see the tiered markers; finish a loop that encloses one to see the bonus on the run summary. - A tappable season banner now sits above every leaderboard and group board, showing the current season and its countdown. Tapping it opens the season info sheet — editable for a group's owner, read-only for other members. - Run history now marks an accepted run that hasn't been published to a group yet with a small dot. - A one-time "What's New" summary sheet appears on the first launch after updating. **Compliance impact:** None. No new data is collected or transmitted (the changelog is a static bundled asset; the only new stored value is a device-local "last seen version" string), no ads, no purchases, no new permissions, and no legal-doc changes. ### 1.0.22 — 2026-09-01 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
