Racefully is the world’s first truly social fitness activity tracking app. Run, walk, cycle, ski or snowboard and track your performance in real-time - on your own or with others, wherever they are around the world. You can count steps, train or race with your friends, even if they’re on the other side of town - or in another country.
Create your own tribe or find tribes to join and collaborate - or compete - to achieve your fitness goals. You can be just as social as you like - schedule activities with friends, share routes for others to try out, and message your buddies with texts and pics to cheer them on.
And, if you want to exercise alone sometimes, you can race yourself or against runs or rides shared by other users any time you like.

FEATURES
Achieve your goals
• Set your personal goal for how far, fast, or often you want to exercise. If you share your goals with friends they can encourage you to achieve them.
• Join Tribes with shared goals or interests and achieve your objectives as a team. Collaborating and competing together really helps you stay on track!
• Keep track of achievements as you hit new milestones
Exercise Together:
• Share your routes to social and your friends can not only see them, they can load them in Racefully and then walk, run, ski or ride them - wherever they are. Simple and amazing all at the same time!
• Join tribes with similar goals, interests or causes - or create your own. Brilliant for staying connected with your buddies. Tribes are great for clubs, event organisers and charities, too!
• Have a step-counting conference call with Walk&Talk - boost your creativity and your wellbeing at the same time!
Smart Tracking
• 4 modes
-> Social - set up a private or public activity and walk, run, cycle or ski virtually with up to 7 others, wherever you all are
-> Solo - get out on your own and track your route and performance
-> Ghost - race against your own or others’ recorded runs or rides
-> Steps - track your steps 24/7
• Tracking - Racefully’s smart tracking commentator updates you in real-time on your performance, and our unique equalization feature makes sure it’s a fair comparison
• Auto-pause - when this is on, Racefully will pause and re-start tracking you when you’re out and about and get held up
• Continuous recording for skiing and snowboarding - Racefully splits the session into individual runs at the end
• Listen to your music as usual - Racefully will fade it for updates
• When you finish, view distance, pace, elevation gained/lost, relative effort, and calories burned. Plus check out our gorgeous maps for details of the route and splits
AI Training for runners
• We offer TaOR Ai - the leading adaptive AI run coaching for all levels - just connect your TrainAsOne account!

more The interface has to be one of the simplest/ easiest to navigate. The tracking, network, and accessibility is almost seamless. Only issue sits with syncing to other apps and never uploading such as Strava, or lack of compatibility such as Fitbit.

I love this app. Do yourself a favor and download it. I live in Colorado and most of my fitness buddies live in another state (or country). I love that we can exercise together, while apart - it’s fun and a fresh take on using technology to stay connected. The app itself is beautiful, intuitive (and I’m a millennial with high standards) and even has a lot of features that I haven’t explored yet, like the auto-pause. As a long-term user of Runkeeper, I can say that Racefully has smoothly filled the gap between just sending your runs to friends (afterward) and meaningfully sharing your runs with friends. Take it for a spin. Or a run. :)

Finally an app where you can Easley race against your own time during a previous run or walk. It tells you exactly how far you are ahead or behind which is really motivating to hear that you can beat your previous record. Keep up the great work! I’m definitely a fan!

I wish there was a summary view of my activities so I could we total miles walked in a week, months week over week improvements in my distance, pace , time.I cannot manually log my walk which I have tracked in my iPhone health and Apple Watch.

If you have enabled text notifications for wearables (in Settings->Activity tracking settings), they now include a sound and vibration if your device supports it. In-activity prompts provide feedback on distance/time. If you have enabled TrainAsONE running training, they also let you know when to start each segment of your training session.

Sometimes you just want to be alone with your thoughts, so alongside the existing split commentary settings we’ve added the option to turn commentary off entirely when recording an activity. You’ll find it in Settings -> Activity Tracking Settings.
Auto-pause for walking has been updated so it more reliably detects when you’ve started walking again.
And we’ve fixed bugs in challenge progress display and a mis-labeled step in TrainAsONE’s Tabata workouts.

For everyone taking part in virtual races, this is the update for you! Premium Tribes have a new “Race” challenge. The Tribe owner sets the distance or duration of the race, and then each tribe member’s best effort over the challenge period is recorded on the challenge leaderboards. No more sending round screenshots of your effort or manually keeping up with everyone’s time. You can even sync your activities via Strava if you are using another platform or device for tracking.
Alongside races, all Tribe challenges can now be based on duration as well as distance, so it’s easy to set a goal of a certain number of minutes of exercise a week and for everyone to keep track of their progress towards it.

3.42 06/22/2020
Racefully needs to be able to track your location in the background so you can listen to music, take a call or lock your screen while you’re recording an activity. We’ve made some improvements to how the app handles the new iOS location permission. This includes a voice prompt if you’re recording an activity in the background when the iPhone’s permission confirmation dialog is displayed.
We’ve updated autopause for walking. Recording now resumes when you’ve moved a distance away from the location where you auto-paused, even if you’re walking slowly. You can use the resume sensitivity setting of autopause to set how far you should move: high sensitivity = 5 meters, medium = 10 meters, low = 20 meters
We’ve fixed several bugs, including one that prevented the name of a scheduled activity from being saved.

When you tap on an image thumbnail in a chat, it will expand to show the full image.
The “Start/Pause/Stop” tappable area during an activity recording has been reduced to the center area of the screen to avoid catching it accidentally at the edges of the screen.
For users who sync with Strava, Racefully now imports manually-entered activities as well as treadmill/power meter workouts.
We’ve made layout improvements for iPhone 11, and fixed some bugs.

3.30 09/19/2019
This release we’re showing our TrainAsONE training plan runners some love, with improvements to narration at the end of workouts depending on your “Extend final step” setting. We’ve also added “sync and launch” from the TrainAsONE website to go direct to your training plan in Racefully.

3.29 06/25/2019
Racefully now supports workouts on static bikes and treadmills that are synced from third-party services. That means you can walk, run or cycle outdoors against a workout you or a friend recorded in the gym or the basement. How cool is that?
We’ve also enabled premium tribes to have multiple admins so more tribe members can post news, invite people, and set challenges.

3.28 05/23/2019
By popular demand, we’ve added an activity summary popup to the end marker on the map view of activities. Too many people were tapping it to see them even though they’re right at the top of the screen anyway. So you win (of course!)
We’ve also improved the layout of the signup and login screens when keyboard is displayed, and whacked a couple of bugs:
• Don’t display the expected distance for initial Couch to 5k training runs where your pace is not yet known
• Display the correct background color in the challenge screen for tribes with dark backgrounds

3.25 04/04/2019
This release improves navigation for our iPhone X users, as some of the buttons were a bit small on your fancy screens.
We’ve also changed the “Extend the last step” option in training runs so that it doesn’t apply to some step types (like standing still at the end of a Perceived Effort assessment).

Everybody needs somebody, as the song goes!

3.21 03/02/2019
You can now capture your step count from your connected wearables by syncing Racefully to the Health app in “Settings->Sync with other apps” and giving Racefully permission to read your step count.
We also fixed a bug that was causing Tribe chat to crash
In case you missed our last update, here’s what else is new:
Want to let a friend know you’re thinking of them, and maybe give them a little encouragement? Just go to their profile from the Friends screen and tap the Chat icon at the top. You can have your own 1:1 conversation with them, including emoji and images. In case the conversation gets too much, you can snooze notifications for up to a day, or block off chat completely from one another. On your own profile, the chat button takes you to a list of all the conversations you’ve had with your friends.
That’s not all! You can now search and filter activities to find that 10k personal record from last year, or all activities with “walk dog” in the title. Just tap the magnifying glass button at the top of the My Activities screen to set up your search. You can do it with your friends’ activities too, if they’re sharing with you. Go to Friends, choose who you want to see, and tap the activities button at the bottom.

3.17 02/19/2019
It’s time to get training for the first race of 2019! This release adds support for TrainAsONE’s new Couch to 5k programme and new settings for training runs.
The Couch to 5k programme uses the same adaptive technology as TrainAsONE’s award-winning training for more experienced runners, so even if you’re just starting your running journey, you will get a plan that suits you. Just go to Training in Racefully, sync to your TrainAsONE account, and choose the Couch to 5k training plan.
We’ve got two new settings for training runs that you can find by pressing the cog button on the Training screen:
• Extend final step : with this turned on, the final step of the workout will continue beyond its scheduled end time until you manually stop recording. We’ve been using this to give us a chance to run home after a training session without needing to record a separate activity
• Time and pace updates : choose how often the audio commentator updates you with stats during your session. There are separate settings for easy steps and hard steps - we’ve found we prefer more frequent updates when we’re sprinting!
In addition to the training improvements, we’ve added a list view to the Activities screen so you can quickly scroll through and bring up that race you did in 2018 where you totally nailed it. Toggle between the card view and the list using the button at the top-right of the Activities screen. Racefully will remember your choice and show that view the next time you open up the app.
We also fixed a bug if you chose a step goal of zero steps (but who would do such a thing??)
