The usual questions

Do we have to take the same route? No. A race is distance and time, so Tokyo against Amsterdam works exactly as well as two people in the same park.

Can I use it on a bike? Yes. Pick Ride before you start. Cycling keeps its own records and its own boards at 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 km, and the screen shows a speed instead of a pace — a bike on a running board would beat every runner alive and mean nothing.

What is a ghost? A run someone already finished. You race the times they ran, metre for metre, as if they were next to you.

Why can I not pause? A race runs to the finish. Hold the button at the bottom to end one early; it still counts as a run, it just does not count as a win.

My distance looks wrong. Give the GPS a few seconds before you start — the line above the start button turns green when the fix is good. Under trees and between tall buildings every phone drifts.

Does it work with an Apple Watch? Yes, and it works without one. The phone is the complete app; the Watch is an extra sense.

How do I delete my account? Settings → Delete Account. Everything goes, at once.
