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 totally like Stride! First of all, I have instantly got back a wish and will to activate myself again due its' interesting ways of dealing and such a nice motivation for a healthy and yet entertaining activities! Big congrats on the launch! ^_^ I especially like friends' challenges! Is a number of team members limited? :D
@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.
Hi all - Ben here, one of the makers of Stride. We're really excited to be launching the full version today on Product Hunt. It's been a year of working to get the game to where it is, we're really proud of what we've achieved. You can now download for free on android or iOS.
Our mission with Stride is to make every run or walk an adventure. Whether you're exploring to find new routes, competing against a friend to own your suburb or looking for a social game there is always a reason to run with Stride.
We're running a one day only product hunt exclusive giveaway to win $100 in amazon vouchers and 5 free premium memberships. Every submission will receive a free 3 month premium membership: Win $100 and 5 free premium memberships
Thanks everyone, and let us know what of you think of Stride in the comments.
@ben_barker I have had a fun time with this product. It keeps my aunt and I motivated to run and overall it lets us compete against others that use it too. 😊
I’ve been trying Stride for about a week. It’s a fun app, but the Product Hunt promise of 3 free months was baloney. Your website link failed and I had to pay full price at the App Store. Good app but I will probably cancel because I feel misled.
Creative idea! This is definitely exciting to learn about as a life-long, avid runner. My family has an active Strava group, and I have all of my devices sync with Strava. Is there a way or plans to connect with Strava? It is definitely a huge market of runners that are very competitive people. Great job with the app!
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!
I've been super excited for this launch to give Stride a try, especially with spring right around the corner up here in Canada 🇨🇦 One of my favourite aspects of the Strava app are the Local Legend statuses, but they don't happen frequently enough or keep me motivated/aware of what turf I should be going after, as the gamified aspects of the app are tertiary to the route tracking and data. Stride feels like a great alternative, so I'm excited to give it a shot—will report back in two weeks with how my runs have gone 🏃
Ive been using Sride ever since it rebirthed in beta and it's my go to running app mostly because it does inspire me to explore new runs away my boring south london routes!! LEGENDS! (the map social share is brilliant)
When I clicked on the Get It link and went to your website I only got the option to buy from the AppStore/PlayStore. I was never asked for the discount code so had to pay full price. Other than that it is interesting.
Any app that turns running into a game gets my vote. I played with this right back in its early days, and that initial seed of inspiration has turned into a very slick running game. See you out there!
By far my favorite app for all my running, hiking and walking activities. Highly motivating and continuously being improved. Keep up the good work!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨
Hi Ben, I love Stride, and use it lots here in SW England, but I love your original App "Run an Empire" even more. I have two questions about "Run an Empire". 1. PLEASE can you tell me when you are going to add the next levels after "Steel Forging"? 2. PLEASE could you reverse the part of the recent Run an Empire upgrade where you made it so that the collection of resources involves you tapping for EVERY unit you collect? My fingers and thumbs are aching! Please put it back to "one tap to collect all" for any one resource hex. I have quadrupled my physical activity since getting these Apps, which isn't bad for an over 60 year old. Don't get me wrong, I love and use both Apps, but Run an Empire now seriously needs more of your attention.
