Tap Start tracking once and Afoot records your day on its own. It can tell whether you’re walking, running, cycling, or driving. You don’t need an account. Your history stays on your iPhone. ■ Automatic recording You don’t have to keep the app open. If Afoot gets an activity wrong, you can fix it on the timeline. ■ Workouts Choose cycling, walk/run, or hiking and set a goal by distance, time, or destination. Afoot reads out your progress as you go. When you finish, you’ll see your pace (speed for cycling) and estimated calories. ■ Place alerts Save home or work to pause recording while you’re there. Save a place you’re heading to, and Afoot notifies you how far you have left as you get close. ■ Collections Put the activities from a trip, or a route you take often, on one map. Photos and videos you took along the way show up where you took them. You can export a collection as an image or a video. ■ Maps and history Every route has speed and elevation graphs. You can jump to any past day from the calendar. You can also import and export GPX files. ■ Privacy There are no ads, and no tracking or analytics code. Afoot looks through your photos on your iPhone and uploads nothing. You can lock the app with Face ID. ■ Battery Using GPS in the background can drain your battery faster.
