Run 'n' Graph makes a course diagram, speed histogram and speed trend graph while you run. It can also speak speed changes and periodically speak mileage to keep you on pace. Simply touch the start recording button and start running, jogging and walking. The visuals are designed to show a good history of your run while instantaneous output gives current run information. There are also ways to view and export the numeric data of your run should you have the desire to dig deeper. If you see a good speed trend or other visual then touch-hold to save it or send it to others. Run 'n' Graph has been used in many situations. For example, a five mile residential run decreased battery charge by only 1% when operated in background. When in foreground the battery decreased by 12% during the same run. Due to the signal filters Run 'n' Graph tests well while running under and near trees, on forest roads and in neighborhoods. Run 'n' Graph has been designed to perform well from a walk or casual run to a marathon and from residential to rural and forest runs. Its visuals and options are designed to provide meaningful results to help you make informed decisions, to validate your run and to share your data and running measurements with others. FEATURES • Tap a button to start recording position and speed. • Makes a course diagram, speed histogram and speed trend graph in real time. • Shows current pace, distance and stopwatch time. • Speaks speed changes when that option is set. • Periodically speaks distance and speed when that option is set. • Speaks in background and foreground. • Records location and rate data in either background and foreground. • Locks touches during recording to help eliminate unwanted changes. • Uses about 1% of the battery per five miles in background mode. • Uses about 10% of the battery per five miles in foreground mode. • Filters GPS data to give more accurate information. • Does not require pace training. • Speaking mixes with music and other audio in either foreground or background. • Touch a graph to email, store it or export to the powerful Graph IDE application. • Use the table interface to copy the underlying data. • Does not require or use a website. The data is stored, and visuals are made, on your own phone. • Settings for metric or English units. • Use indoors, during rain, thick cloud cover and other conditions that can obstruct the GPS signal may be problematic. • During actual use the instantaneous speed (pace) may vary by about a mile per hour from the actual instantaneous speed. This variation is an inherent limitation of the GPS sensor and the filter tries to minimize that variation. However, the speed trend graph and speed average has given meaningful results during actual use. • Designed and tested by runners and walkers. NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

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.
