Ever since we launched on Google Play, one question kept coming back: "When is it coming to iPhone?" The answer is today. Runplanner is now available for free on the App Store.
TL;DR
Runplanner is out on iPhone. It's the same free, privacy-first running route planner Android runners already use: plan a route with a few taps, generate loops or A to B routes at the distance you want, and navigate them turn by turn. No account, no ads.
The same app, now on iOS
The iPhone version isn't a cut-down port. It's built from the same code as the Android app and ships with the latest version, 1.3.9, so iPhone runners start with everything we've added over the past six months.
- Tap-to-plan routes: Tap the map to place waypoints and your route snaps to real roads, paths and trails, anywhere in the world. Drag a waypoint to move it, tap a + to add one in between, or tap one to remove it.
- Roundtrips and A to B routes: Pick a distance and a direction on the compass and Runplanner generates a loop from where you are. Or choose a start and an end and get a route between them at the length you want. Every generated route can be fine-tuned like one you drew yourself.
- Turn-by-turn navigation: Run your route with on-screen directions, street names and a heads-up when you go off course.
- Know what's ahead: Every route shows its distance, estimated time, elevation profile, surface breakdown and the weather forecast for when you plan to run.
- Discover routes: Browse a curated collection of running routes when you want inspiration instead of a blank map.
- Schedule runs and plans: Put runs on your calendar with reminders, and build interval workouts to run on your route.
- Share and export: Send a route as a link or QR code, or export it as a GPX file for your watch or other apps. GPX import works too.
- Private by design: No account and no ads. Your routes and plans are stored encrypted on your phone.
Routes travel between iPhone and Android
If you run with friends on a different phone, that's no longer a problem. Share a route link or QR code from Runplanner and it opens straight in the app on either platform. Anyone without the app is sent to the right store to get it.
What's different on iPhone
A few things are Android-only for now: the Next Run home-screen widget and importing past runs from Health Connect. An iPhone widget and Apple Health support are both on our list.
Tell us what you think
This is our first iPhone release, so your feedback matters more than ever. If something feels off, you find a bug, or there's a feature you'd love to see, let us know via the contact page. And if Runplanner helps you find a better run, a rating on the App Store goes a long way for a small independent app.
