Runplanner works the same on iPhone and Android for almost everything: planning, loops, navigation, scheduling, sharing and GPX. A few features depend on what each phone allows.
Android only
- Import runs from Health Connect. See Import runs from Health Connect.
- Weather briefing before a scheduled run. iPhone gets the run reminder only.
- Automatic phone backup with a Welcome back restore on a new phone. iPhone uses your normal iCloud backup.
- In-app update prompt when a new version is out.
- Widgets: Quick start and Saved routes.
iPhone only
- Live Activity: the next turn on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island while you navigate. See Live Activity on iPhone.
- Lock screen widgets: Countdown, Start time, Runs this week and Plan a run.
Works a little differently
- Opening a GPX file in another app: Android shows a list of apps, iPhone opens the share sheet.
- Moving a waypoint: on both, press and hold the point, then drag. On Android, hold still for about half a second first.
- Navigation in the background: Android shows a Navigating notification, iPhone shows the blue location indicator.
Requirements
iPhone with iOS 15.5 or later. Android 8.0 or later. Both are free in the App Store and on Google Play.
Questions
Can I move my routes from Android to iPhone?
