We have some quick news we wanted to share with you. . .
RunKeeper Pro 2.0 is Now Live
It’s been almost 1.5 years since we launched the first RunKeeper application. During that time, we learned a lot about what runners want when it comes to your data. RunKeeper Pro 2.0 has the same core functionality, but has been fundamentally redesigned so all of the data that you care about most (based on your feedback over many months) is at your fingertips during your activity!
Key changes:
- both current and average pace/speed on the main tracking screen
- improved photo taking
- improved layout and data access
- swiping between screens
- run stats on the map screen
- easier to access splits and training workout display
- calories burned in-app as well as the website
- new start screen
- easier to define pre-set settings
- easier to toggle between GPS mode and manual activity input
You can get this new application here.
We believe you will find it to be a much more intuitive user experience. Once you try it, let us know what you think! In addition to the improved in-app experience, the new design also makes room for significiant additional functionality, which we plan to add to the application in the coming months. Stay tuned!
12/12/09 Addendum: If you have purchased RunKeeper Pro in the past, this is a free upgrade and you will not be charged again.
LeWeb Recap
We returned tonight from a great few days in Paris at LeWeb. We had fun in the startup competition (see minute 27:54 for the RunKeeper presentation), and although we didn’t win, we got a great shout-out on the main stage from the judges and got a lot of great visbility and exposure. Thanks to all of you who gave us the terrific virtual support! It was a fantastic few days in Paris, and we can’t wait to come back next year.
