Frequently Asked Questions

Still undecided about RunTracker? Check out some of these frequently asked questions about this privacy-focused fitness app.

What is RunTracker?

RunTracker is a new kind of fitness app that can track your runs and other outdoor activities in a unique way. It’s also laser focused on privacy for security-minded individuals who want a running app that’s safe for the whole family.

Is RunTracker available for Android?

Yes! RunTracker 2.0 is on Google Play as well as the App Store, with the same features and the same privacy promise. With RunTracker Plus, you can even move your runs between iPhone and Android with a backup file.

Does RunTracker Plus need an account?

No. You buy RunTracker Plus through the App Store or Google Play, and that purchase unlocks Plus on your phone. There’s still no account, and your runs still stay on your phone. Got a new phone? Tap Restore Purchase on the Plus page.

What's the big deal about privacy? I'm just going jogging.

With many running apps, your fitness data is stored on remote servers along with your personal information. This data is used for marketing, research and sales, directed at you and third parties. This information typically includes data that can pinpoint where you are, where you might live and in some extreme cases even who you are. To learn more, check out this 2021 article from TechCrunch describing the practice.

How does RunTracker protect my privacy?

RunTracker keeps your data in your hands, right on your phone. Your runs, routes, heart rate and profile are never uploaded to us, and there are no accounts, so there’s nothing for anyone to hack, sell or market to. The app sends only anonymous usage statistics and crash reports, never your location, routes or name, so we can fix problems and make it better. Our privacy policy lists exactly what leaves your phone.

What's the Tracker part about then?

Unlike many running apps, this one adds the ability to drop a tracking marker anywhere on a map before you start your run. Once you get going, the app can show you where that marker is in relation to you, both in direction and distance. This makes for some pretty cool use cases. You can see how far you are from where you started, or what direction your goal is. Or point to a different landmark that isn’t even along the way.

I'm a serious runner and I'm looking for more data, like splits and Apple Health integration.

Good news: RunTracker 2.0 is built for you too. Every runner can save workouts to Apple Health or Health Connect and see heart rate during a run. The optional RunTracker Plus subscription adds splits with pace and elevation charts, structured workouts and intervals, weather with every run, and unlimited history.

Choosing the right running app: A quick how-to guide

Hey there, fellow runners and fitness enthusiasts! Today, let’s chat about something we all care about – finding the perfect running app. In a world where our phones are almost as essential as our running shoes, choosing the right app can be as crucial as picking the right gear.

Big Yikes: Are hackers getting your location from your fitness apps?

Fitness trackers and apps from some of the largest tech companies on the planet are convenient and fun and informative. They can also be leaky with data and there could be minimal repercussions from a fitness data breach. And hacking these apps might be easier for some than you might think.

Your data is precious. Be sure to protect it!

We live in an amazing time. Our phones are electronic marvels that contain access to tons of tools and information. They also serve as repositories for our own personal information, which some apps can find too tempting to resist. Fitness apps are no exception.
