Stop counting laps in your head. Orbit is the ultimate hands-free automatic lap tracker designed to track your walks, runs, and workouts—both on indoor gym tracks and outdoor paths. Using advanced sensor fusion and GPS routing, Orbit detects whenever you complete a loop, allowing you to focus entirely on your pace. WHY USE ORBIT? • Hands-Free Lap Counting: No screen tapping or button pressing required. Just start your workout, pocket your device, and let Orbit count every lap. • Indoor & Outdoor Precision: Seamlessly toggle between Indoor Mode (using motion sensors, pedometer calibration, and optional BLE beacons) and Outdoor Mode (using high-accuracy GPS). • Live Interactive Maps: See your exact walking or running route on a live map, including satellite overlays, start-line calibration, and nearby points of interest (POIs). • Voice Announcements: Stay in the zone with real-time audio cues telling you your lap count, split times, and overall pace. • Smart Calorie Burn: Uses scientific MET (Metabolic Equivalent) pace tracking and your body profile to estimate calorie burn, complete with fun food equivalents. • Personal Records & Analytics: View your historical workouts, track your fastest laps, longest duration, and celebrate milestones with a personal records trophy shelf. • Privacy First: No account creation or internet connection required. All workout logs and GPS paths are stored securely on your device. ---------------------------------------------- ORBIT PRO SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Upgrade to Orbit Pro to unlock the full potential of your training: • Unlimited laps for both indoor and outdoor workouts (Free tier is limited to 3 laps). • Access to live GPS workout maps. • Premium analytics, history details, and native file exports (CSV/GPX). Orbit Pro is available as a Monthly ($4.99/mo) or Annual ($29.99/yr) auto-renewable subscription. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to your Account Settings after purchase. ---------------------------------------------- REQUIRED SAFETY & HARDWARE DISCLOSURES • Location Services: This app uses GPS location services to track outdoor runs and calculate lap boundaries. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. • Sensor Usage: Indoor tracking relies on your device’s motion sensors (pedometer/accelerometer) and Bluetooth (for optional BLE beacon track integration). • Health/Fitness: Calorie estimations are calculated using standard metabolic equivalents based on the weight you enter. Consult a physician before beginning any new exercise regimen.
