Some details
Our client wanted an app to help runners prepare for the yearly Samsung Night Run. They wanted the app to focus on the running routes trainers could take and to track their progress.
Most running apps provide a vast amount of data and can sometimes be off-putting. The aim of the Samsung Night Run app was to focus on the most essential information runners needed to help them achieve their training goals.
The app
focused on training routes runners could take, tracked their performance and provided tips to enhance their training. Extra functionality was provided closer to race day.The app achieved its goal of not overloading users with too much data. It is ideal for beginners to advanced runners and for anyone wanting to just focus on their running and performance, without the hassle of having to update other features.
Samsung Night Run is an Android app, written in Java, that uses the phones location and mapping capabilities to record the users running sessions. It integrates with the existing Night Run website, MapMyRun.
The app provides information on a number of local runs, as well as being a full GPS based running tracker. It was developed to work on its own without needing to store or share data online. Users can start a session and GPS coordinates are stored on the device by the app as they run.
