by
Stride is a new game for runners and walkers. The objective is simple: own the most tiles in your neighbourhood. To capture tiles just hit start and the app tracks your physical movement in the background.

I have been running with Stride since it began as Run An Empire. It lost its way for while, but is now back to the basics, which are the really fun parts of the game! I love running, and Stride adds an extra layer of achievement to my runs. Plus, it encourages me to go running in new areas, and claim new territory, instead of running around the same park every time (although I need to keep running around my park as well so no one else steals it!). A great game, with new features being released regularly, so I would highly recommend it to everyone that wants to spend more time outdoors. My vote for the next feature is to be able to message other runners, so you can meet like minded people and create teams (not just from your existing friends). Well done to the Stride developers - all the best for the launch!!

Sentiments from many friends and colleagues whom I've gotten onboard..one in particular stands out! "This (Stride) is just what I need to get me off my @$!" I already notice quicker launch times and smoother operability in version 2 and I'm excited to continue using it. Thanks to @ben_barker and the Stride team.

Hi. Its a awesome app and I support it as a paying user. Could you please add a sound or vibration when a hex i captured?
Ben Barker

Thomas Yes

This looks very interesting. Unfortunately, I don't have a Garmin or Apple watch... Any plans for a Strava connection? That's what I use...
Ben Barker
@danischenker Hi Dani - if you're on iOS you can connect Strava via Apple Health. Or if you're using a different smart watch (Suunto, Polar) your better off connecting directly via Apple Health. If you're on Android then we're going to be integrating Google Fit in the coming months.

@ben_barker I don't use any watch at all... I only have Strava on my Android phone for my walks. Not big watch fan, hehe. Cheers
Ben Barker
@danischenker Ok, then you might need to wait until we have Google Fit integrated

Nice idea! Is it working in Europe (french here)?
Ben Barker

Hey ?makers, is Stride limited to a certain region or does it work globally? Is there any way to integrate data from my tracking apps (e.g. Strava)? @fariz_hakim check this out!

This app is life changing, I'm so glad that I discovered Stride, it's the Strava of 2022. Stride has got me (and the whole family!) out and about more and the timing couldn't be better with the spring weather starting to hit. Love the updates and responsive team, looking forward to it continuing to get better and better!
