With RunSocial, run through real-world videos of beautiful locations and see, inside your video, avatars of others doing the same in real time from around the world. And they can see you too. Experience RunSocial’s completely new "mixed reality" technology blending HD real-world video, 3D virtual world capability and social connectivity. The app can track your running speed and you can enjoy it either on your iPad screen or via a bigger screen if connected.
FEATURES INCLUDE:
* A variety of different locations from around the world
* Free sample downloads of the routes
* Adaptive video playback that matches your running speed
* Adaptive ambient sound that can also run in background if you play your iPad Music
* Different ways to track speed: Besides manual control, our built-in StepSensor uses treadmill vibration to estimate your speed. For a very accurate source, RunSocial has a physical sensor (no fitting, works with any treadmill) and streams live data to your iPad.
* Different ways to see the video. Besides watching it on your iPad, you can also plug your iPad into a TV via an HDMI cable or AppleTV for full screen HD video.
* Log in directly or via your Facebook and share your runs.
* Track and store your data
* Integrated with the Apple Health app (options in Settings)
* Set up your own live running events and invite family, friends, or anyone around the world to join.

Please connect with Nordic track treadmills!

Great program. Needs to integrate with more treadmills. Manual mode is really annoying.
Pricey and doesn’t work
Chris65535
The Good: clean UI. Nice concept in theory Foot Pod BLE client works. The Bad: 1) A La Carte pricing is crazy high. Much Too expensive. YouTube has better options and is cheaper 2) Apps’ BlueTooth doesn’t follow correct BLE client specification for treadmills and, therefore, isn’t comparable with all treadmills where Zwift BLE works flawlessly. 3). Video playback speed is obviously too fast for any given pace. 4). Grade on videos is obviously incorrect. 5). No Strava/Garmin connectivity. 6). Tech support was not helpful— They really don’t seem to care much, which is too bad. This could be a good app with a little tweaking. In short, this is nothing short of an expensive gimmick, and not for serious runners.
Please keep updated

Please keep the app updated. I have purchased the runs & enjoy the app. Thank you!
Use it often

This app helps keep me motivated/interested. I use it with my Schwinn elliptical so I can keep up with speed and elevations. I have found that the VR run through different locales is a definite attention keeper. My Apple Watch displays heart rate information on the screen and displaying it through Apple TV on my flatscreen makes it awesome.
So far good

I have a bike and use ride social. Run social seems better. Got tread tracker and will try using an ifit treadmill.
Frequently crashes
MX1001
Good idea but over the last 10 uses, it has crashed at least 8 times. Also, I see the same runners even when I run at different times of day. Make me wonder if some of these runners are bots.
Great app

Great app. Totally beats mindlessly staring at the TV while running on a treadmill. It’s interesting to see folks from allover the world. If you are hard-core and or hell-bent on having a 4K display in front of you then this is it for you but if you want a cool app to help keep track of your work out, sync with your treadmill and something to look at that isn’t infomercials while you are running, then this is great. Monterey is my favorite...
