Jog Up

Read full description

Jog Up is a fun little app that counts your daily steps and stacks that distance up against a curated list of the world's mountains, letting you virtually summit them as if you were jogging straight up into the sky. Rebuilt from the ground up for modern Apple Watch - it's time to Jog Up! [What's New in 2.0.0] * Completely rebuilt as a modern watchOS app with a refreshed, cleaner interface that scales beautifully across every Apple Watch size, right up to Apple Watch Ultra. * Brand-new watch face complications designed for today's faces and the Smart Stack. * Redesigned mountains list. * Faster, smoother, and ready for the latest watchOS. [Features] * 200 plus mountains, carefully chosen to motivate you to move a little more every day. * No start or stop required. The app tracks your whole day's step data and resets at the beginning of the next day. * Tap the main page to switch between your jogging distance and the mountain heights. * Swipe across to browse the full list of mountains and see your progress on each one. * Modern watch face complications * No sign-in or account needed to use the app. * No ads and no unnecessary pop-ups. * We respect your privacy. The app does not collect or send any personal information. [Important] * For the app to work, your device must support and permit access to motion data. * The app neither tracks elevation nor is intended for climbing exercises or activities. * It uses a conservative formula to convert the step count provided by Apple Watch into feet, so there can be differences between actual and calculated distances. * Complications refresh in the background roughly every 15 minutes and are most up to date right after you open the app. [Feedback] We welcome your feedback and suggestions. Please use the app support page (https://www.mpathy.tech/contact-us) to get in touch with us. If you find this app useful, kindly let others know about it and rate it on the App Store. Your support is essential for the continued development of this app.
