Match your feet to the beat, and running turns into dancing. BeatRun Pro plays every song at the exact speed of your steps. Run to the beat and your body starts to move like it's dancing – running becomes fun. Fun makes it feel easier, and a steady rhythm carries you farther. RUN EASIER, RUN FARTHER • Set your target cadence (steps per minute) with the dial or one-tap pace presets: Run/Walk, Slow Jog, Easy Run, Long Run, Marathon Pace, Tempo, Intervals and Sprint. • Every song loops seamlessly at your cadence – no skipping, no off-beat tracks, just a steady rhythm to lock into. • Find my rhythm: run 500 m and the app learns your natural cadence and step length. COLLECT MUSIC BY RUNNING • Every 1 km you run unlocks a new song. The farther you go, the bigger your playlist. • Running tracks picked for steady footsteps, with strong beats and bass. THE BEAT IS YOUR COACH • 8 workouts: 12-week cadence plan, Long run (LSD), Tempo, Intervals, Fartlek, Strides, Pyramid and Build-up. • The music changes speed for every segment, so your feet always know what to do. • "Train today?" suggests the right workout for your level, plus a gentle 4-week plan that never pressures you. • Voice guidance, a race-start countdown and a course chart show what comes next. SEE YOURSELF IMPROVE • My cadence, my step length and my level, Sub-3 to Sub-10 – updated after every run. • Best cadence, best step, best pace and your longest day – with "new!" when you beat a record. • A stamp calendar of every run and workout. • A route map and distance for each run, and My trace map where every run leaves a mark. YOUR RUNS ARE SAFE • Running records and earned music are saved to the server and restored when you reinstall or change phones. No sign-up – you get a BeatRun Marathon bib number instead. • You can turn server saving off anytime; turning it off deletes your records from the server. APPLE WATCH • Change cadence and pace presets, control playback and start workouts from your wrist. • See the current segment and time left during a workout. MAKE IT YOURS • 8 screen themes: Standard, Volume Dial, Running Track, Cassette, Minimal, Neon Sign, LED Dot and Radio Tuner. PRIVACY • Your route stays on your iPhone. Location is used only while you run – to measure speed and distance and draw your route – and is never uploaded. Contact: chulkwon@gmail.com
