Race Yourself, Beat Your Ghost!

This is a new app taking the idea of racing your ghost in video games and applying it to real life fitness exercises like running, walking and cycling. The app gives you real time feedback against your chosen ghost on a chosen route and shows you a live delta as well as capturing your progress at 12 splits along the route, showing you per split timings and overall progress against your Ghost. Think olympic splits but on your watch against you, or your friends ghosts.
honestly this sounds really fun, kind of like having a workout buddy who never gets tired. one thing that might help though is letting users race against ghosts from people with similar fitness levels instead of just anyone, or maybe an option to adjust the ghost speed if you want a more realistic challenge
@aksinerson87631 haha exactly! you will be able to set a pacer, and when racing a ghost you can then choose which ghost to race, so you don't always need to race the fastest - to avoid clutter it does only show your friends fastest ghost, but it shows all of your saved ghosts
@aksinerson87631 and again thank you for taking a look and feeding back!
The split-by-split breakdowns sound really motivating, especially seeing exactly where you lose or gain time. One feature that would make this even better is letting you overlay multiple ghosts on the same run so you can race against yourself from last week and a friend at the same time, rather than choosing just one.
@nevinwchr oh thats cool! you can on leagues, It will pit you agains the top four ghosts, but choosing more than one to race is a great idea!
@nevinwchr thank you for checking this out!
Would love to see a small audio cue or vibration at each split point, like a subtle beep when you cross a marker so I can feel the delta without having to glance at the watch mid stride.
@tolga245243 there should be haptics and audio cues for the splits, the audio queues are off by default but the haptics should be working!
@tolga245243 and thank you so much for taking a look and commenting!
Would love to see a head-to-head mode where you can race a friend's ghost in real time instead of only solo, even a simple "challenge sent" link they open on their phone to sync up would make this way more social and replayable.
Hey! thank you for the comment and the view! the head to head kind of works, so if I make a ghost I can send I to a friend for them to challenge and race against.
did you mean live, like two different courses but challenging against each others pace?
Love the splits breakdown, that sounds super motivating on a long run. One thing I'd really love to see is a small audio cue at each of the 12 splits telling me whether I'm ahead or behind my ghost, so I don't have to keep glancing at my watch and break my rhythm.
@nurullahstender I've built in audio queues, I'm not happy with the voice selection though! you an turn these on via the settings menu, off by default.
Thank you for taking a look and commenting!
Raced my old 5k ghost on the wrist today and seeing the live delta tick up or down each split was way more motivating than I expected, the 12 split breakdown makes pushing through the middle miles actually fun.
@lyasl9qo love this!!!! thank you so much! and I know that feeling, I knocked 2.5 mins off my 5k in testing, I didn't want to loose against my ghost! the hard part is capturing this feeling for marketing!
