New Hydration Feature Helps Users Make Informed Decisions with Post-Activity Insight<\/em><\/p>\n

Today Runtastic \u2013 an innovative suite of apps, products and services that track and manage health and fitness data to motivate individuals to get in shape, stay healthy and improve overall fitness \u2013 announced a brand new version of their flagship app, Runtastic. Over the past year, the award-winning app has undergone a complete transformation incorporating user feedback, expert knowledge and industry trends. The result is a revamped design and user experience, as well as new features and improved functions. This announcement comes as the company surpasses 70 million downloads worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s impossible to make progress by standing still or becoming complacent,\u201d says Florian Gschwandtner, CEO of Runtastic. \u201cWe’re confident that the new Runtastic app will help inspire and enable our users to continue on their health and fitness journeys with renewed focus, motivation and passion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fresh Design & Enhanced Experience<\/strong>
\nRuntastic 5.0 boasts a clean, modern design that provides users with a more polished and engaging experience. Screens and navigation options can be easily customized to meet users\u2019 personal preferences, and state-of-the-art technology allows data to sync seamlessly and effortlessly between the Runtastic app and users\u2019 personal Runtastic.com accounts. The app has also been enhanced to run consistently across multiple platforms, while simultaneously utilizing and capitalizing on each operating system\u2019s unique functions and characteristics.<\/p>\n

New Feature to Keep You Hydrated<\/strong>
\nHydration is a key component of staying healthy and becoming fit. That\u2019s why a new feature in the Runtastic app takes into account users\u2019 activity details, personal stats, local weather conditions and more to provide a post-activity hydration suggestion. In the past, when a Runtastic user finished an activity, they would only have the opportunity to input activity details. While this ever-popular functionality is still present and useful, the hydration feature takes tracking to the next level by offering an instantaneous hydration recommendation based on user-specific data.<\/p>\n

“We need to continue moving beyond simply tracking and aggregating data,\u201d says Gschwandtner. \u201cThe hydration feature is one great example of how we can coach users and help them make a healthy, informed decision, at precisely the right moment, using their unique, personal data.\u201d<\/p>\n

Improved & Free Features<\/strong>
\nExisting elements of Runtastic have been fully-optimized and several features that were previously only available in the PRO version of the app, such as the Music Player and LIVE Tracking & Cheering, are now available for free. These user favorites motivate Runtastics to engage with one another, share their activity with their social networks and ultimately achieve more advanced health and fitness accomplishments.
\nAndroid users will also be pleased to see Runtastic Training Plans available on Android devices for the first time. Training plans can be purchased within the Runtastic app or on Runtastic.com.<\/strong>
