iGo personal coach 1.8.4

iGo serves as a personal coaching application designed to monitor running, cycling, and walking training sessions. It is particularly suitable for individuals seeking to document their training progress or those initiating an exercise regimen. The developer’s ethos emphasizes inclusive sport participation across all age groups.

The app records all training activities, providing users with summaries of distances covered on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. Additionally, users can export their training history via email in GPX format for further analysis or record-keeping.

During exercise, iGo displays real-time metrics such as:

• distance traveled
• duration of activity
• average speed
• training rhythm

Post-workout, the application offers detailed insights including:

• average speed
• total distance
• duration
• calorie expenditure
• visual graphs depicting speed variations and altitude changes
• route visualization for circuit overview

The basic version of iGo is available free of charge. The full version, priced at $0.99 and accessible through in-app purchase, unlocks additional features.

Note: Compatibility is limited to iPhone models running iOS version 3.1.2 or higher; it is not compatible with the first-generation iPhone and iPod Touch.

Key Features:

• Lock Mode: Locks the screen orientation to landscape, facilitating hands-free use when attached to an armband.
