Runigo

Read full description

Runigo is a game you play on your runs, right on the streets around you. Each day it places a new set of flags on nearby paths. Run to them, capture them and collect the points. The further out you go, the more every flag and every metre is worth. HOW CAPTURE THE FLAG WORKS β€’ Up to 35 flags appear each day, every one on a path you can run. β€’ They spread across five coloured rings that reach 5 km from where you start. β€’ A flag is worth 2,000 points in the nearest ring and 10,000 in the outermost. β€’ Every metre scores too, from 1 point near your start to 5 in the outer ring. β€’ Reach a flag and tap Capture to claim it. With Runigo Pro, flags are captured automatically as you pass. β€’ Flags reset at midnight, so tomorrow brings a fresh set. β€’ Prefer a plain run? Go without flags and your distance still earns points. LEADERBOARD AND FRIENDS β€’ Global Leaderboard: see where you stand among runners everywhere this week, this month or of all time. β€’ Add friends by username and join the challenges they send you. CHALLENGES Creating a challenge needs Runigo Pro. Joining one you’ve been invited to doesn’t. β€’ Leaderboard: the highest score or longest distance wins, over a day, a week, two weeks or a month. β€’ Capture the Point: every player has a flag. Capture a rival’s and you gain a point for every minute you hold it, while they lose one. β€’ Track: plan a one-way or loop route, then race it for your best time, alone or against friends. Stay on the route or the attempt won’t count. PROGRESS β€’ Set a weekly goal of one to seven runs and build daily and weekly streaks. β€’ Earn 20 achievements, from your first run to 200 flags captured. β€’ See your totals, averages and best times for 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon. β€’ A grid of your running days shows how consistent you’ve been.

Your city is the map. Every run and ride you record paints real ground in your colour β€” and you keep it only as long as you keep showing up. RouteRush turns training into territory. Record a run or a ride, watch your route close a loop on a 3D globe, and claim the ground inside it. Someone runs over your turf, they take it. Consistency is the only defence. Meet Boldi, your AI coach. Talk or type to build a training plan, then change it by chat (or by voice with Ultra) when life shifts: sick, travelling, taking a break. You see the before and after, and you can undo any change. Boldi is a training coach, not a doctor. CONQUER REAL GROUND β€’ Record runs and rides with live pace, distance, elevation and route β€’ Closed routes become territory on a 3D world map β€’ Territory fades over time β€” go back to hold it, or take someone else's β€’ Territory leaderboards by area captured and ground covered β€’ Day, Dusk and Night map styles CLIMB THE WEEKLY LEAGUE β€’ Earn Rush Points on every activity β€’ Weekly cohorts of 30 runners with promotion and demotion zones β€’ Bronze, Silver and Gold tiers, with a placement week to find your level β€’ A fresh table every week β€” the season never stops TRAIN WITH BOLDI, YOUR AI COACH β€’ Chat about pacing, recovery, race day and the week ahead β€’ Send a photo or a PDF β€” a plan, a track session, a race entry β€” and Boldi reads it β€’ Nine training plans, from your first 5K to a marathon block β€’ Weekly workouts with target paces built around your benchmark CLUBS, FEED AND FRIENDS β€’ Join or create a club, then take on club battles and challenges β€’ Post photos with stats stickers and a route card in three styles β€’ For You and Following feeds, plus an Events tab in Explore, with comments and likes β€’ Follow other runners and see the ground they hold BUILT FOR IPHONE β€’ Live Activity and Dynamic Island while you record β€’ Quick Start home screen widget β€’ Apple Health: reads your workouts and metrics, writes your runs back with their route β€’ Records without a signal and syncs when you are back online β€’ Pace, heart rate, elevation and best-effort charts for every activity β€’ English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French and Italian Tracking, territory, leagues, clubs and the feed are all part of the app, and so is seeing who owns any territory. RouteRush Pro and Ultra are optional subscriptions for more Boldi β€” text chat, starting plans Boldi builds for you, a monthly coached run, and with Ultra voice chat and live voice coaching on every run β€” plus a verified badge and unlimited username changes.
