It invites users to don their sneakers and head out, whether on foot or by bike, to explore their neighborhood or city. By doing so, they can capture and claim parts of their environment, making exercise more interactive and motivating. The app has earned praise from notable sources like Engadget, Runner’s World, and Variety for integrating fun into routines and motivating new runners to start their fitness journey.
