Outdoor Run++ tracks your outdoor workout using your iPhone's GPS. You can use it to track the distance, time, speed, pace, and calories burned during a walk, run, or bike ride. You can even use Outdoor Run++ to track your driving path. Outdoor Run++ gives you the capability to see the distance, pace, and speed measurements in both miles and kilometers units. You can easily switch between the two units even in the middle of a workout with a swipe on the distance label. Outdoor Run++ saves a map of the path you have traveled and shows you mile or kilometer markers. You can use the "Mark" button to mark certain locations on your path so that you can check the distance and time it took you to get to that mark. Outdoor Run++ has the capability to track multi-section workouts. You can use "Start", "Pause", and "Resume" sequence to track your multi-section workout. In the workout summary you will see each section of your workout under "Workout Splits". HealthKit Access: You can choose to grant access to Outdoor Run++ to read "Date of Birth", "Sex", "Weight", and "Height" information from your Health app (HealthKit). These data points are solely used for calorie calculations. Therefore if you choose not to grant permission to Outdoor Run++ to access your health data all the functionality of Outdoor Run++ is intact except for calorie calculations. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any questions, comments, to report any bugs, or to suggest additional features you would like to see in the upcoming updates.
