Solo Running is very much a passion project of mine after seeing the lack of simple and cheap applications targeted towards exercise. I wanted to help runners like myself track and record their acitivity over time with a focus on reliable user experience. With an elegant UI, users can easily create new runs by interacting with a custom map interface built on top of MapKit. Essential information such as estimated durations, distance, steps, and routes are provided to help you plan your exercise. When you're ready, simply confirm the route you like and the app will immediately start tracking your run data. To make run sessions more enjoyable, Solo comes with an integrated toolkit to interact with Spotify, which means you can play music within the app as well. I plan on releasing this app very soon under a extremely reasonable subscription plan of $0.99/month or $8.99/year
Solo Running requires the use of Apple's Location Services for maps and Motion Kit to track physical activity. The Spotify IOS SDK has been implemented according to the official guidelines here. Users of this app should expect to grant authorization to establish Spotify Player control whenever they use the service. All other data including images, notes, and statistics are all stored locally on every user's device. Solo Running does share this data with any entity.
Released MVP build with basic functionality. Minor UI/UX bugs throughout the app. No ability to track run data in background
Added background processing to track run data while app is in background. Added breadcrumb path tracing. Improved the UI for exportable route cards. Polished UI.
Improved the scaling and labeling of charts for steps and time. Reduced rolling window size for active pace graph to prevent extreme squashing of time marks.
