LoopRun plans running and cycling loops that start and finish where you choose, at the distance you ask for. Set a distance, tap once, and get up to three routes on real streets and paths. Every route is checked against your request: anything more than 10% off is never shown, and if nothing fits, LoopRun says so instead of handing you the wrong run. Plan from where you stand, or from anywhere else. Search for a place or address, tap the map to drop the pin, or pick one of your recent starts. Know the climb before you set off. Each route shows an elevation profile with its total ascent and descent, worked out from open terrain data. Then run it. LoopRun follows you on the map, calls out the turns, warns you if you leave the route, and keeps your time, distance and pace (or speed on a ride), even with the phone locked, where the run also shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Pause whenever you like; breaks never count. Finished runs and rides go into your history and, if you turn it on in Settings, into Apple Health as workouts with their distance, time and route. Also in LoopRun: - Run or ride: runs from 1 to 30 km (1 to 20 mi), rides up to 100 km (60 mi) - Loops or out-and-back routes, in any direction or pointed north, east, south or west - In many areas, routes favor footpaths and cycle paths and avoid dead ends and private roads - Export any route as a GPX file for your watch or training app - Save your favorite routes and open them again any time Try it free, then unlock unlimited route planning, saved routes and GPX export with LoopRun Premium. You can manage or cancel your plan at any time from Settings in the app. This app offers a weekly subscription with a 3-day free trial, and an annual subscription. A one-time Lifetime unlock is also available (non-renewing). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID Account Settings.
