@outrunapp congrats on the launch! I can see this being utilized by companies to promote health/wellness. I will give this a go with my friends.

This is awesome! Now the social feature of competing steps isn't limited to people using the same ecosystem of step trackers. Well done on the launch!

Looks interesting.. I would focus on what your app can do that Apple Fitness and Fitbit don't currently allow.. Like compete with friends on any device.. where as Apple Fitness is just Apple to Apple. etc.. good luck

This. Is. Outrun. (read super dramatically) Create and join weekly step contests with friends, family and people across the world. Supported trackers: - Apple Health app - FitBit - Garmin How weekly step contests works? All weekly contests start on Mondays and finish the following Sunday with the results announced shortly after. You can compete for prizes or for fun depending on whether the group admin has set prizes or not. Public contests like out International one are open to everyone, contests hosted by private groups are invite only. Leaderboards will enable you to keep an eye on how other players are doing every step of the week, so you can catch up or stay on top (or for bragging purposes). Creating groups Create your own groups to host weekly step contests and invite your friends & family to join. Groups are joinable by invite only and you can manage your group pic, prizes, name and members from the admin screen. Prizes can be set for the next 2 contest from the admin screen, you can also compete without prizes. Profile You can also track your personal progress with Outrun on your profile screen, showing you statistics on total steps, distance, and calories burnt. It’s here that you can also change your profile picture, username and choose tracking app.

@outrunapp Congratulations on the launch! This is a fun way to gamify healthy habits. Is this limited to one metric (no. of steps) or other goals like calorie burn etc can also be incorporated?

@adityavsc Thank you πŸ™πŸΌ For the time being, it is limited to step count only but a great idea for future feature releases πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ
