Run with Blast-GPS Run tracker 1.0.1
It's a nice application filled with all sort of interesting features that you could use to monitor your runs and workout sessions. It's very useful for people who like to keep an eye on their runs and keep track of their progress.
Fluent interface with plenty to offer
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or a presentation of its features, which is quite inconvenient since new users wouldn't be able to get an overview on the app's tools. The first thing that you need to do after launching the app is to register with an account.
Unfortunately, there's only the option of using your Facebook account and not even an email address. The next step is to setup your profile, you can change your profile picture, provide the app with your age, gender and a picture. Since it's a workout app, you'll also need to input information on your weight and height.
Track your runs or walks
Simply tap on the main icon so the app would start recording. However, you will need to enable location services so the app can find you on the map and it's best if you do that outside, since the GPS works better.
The app monitors the distance that you've run, the duration and the average pace. It automatically saves the stats so you can view your progress. The app lets you follow all sort of users from the network.
More features and tools
It has a separate section in which you can check out the latest posts made by the developer or other users on the network. You can like pictures, comment on them or share with friends on social networks.
There's also the option to read motivational messages to make sure you continue with your workout. During recording, it has voice controls so you would hear in your headsets when the app starts recording.
You can also check your route on a map and pause it if you want to take a break. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the option of accessing your music player and listening to music. It would have been nice if it had a player integrated.
