Sprint-o-Mat 2021.2

Sprint-o-Mat is a well-designed application for Apple Watch that facilitates structured workout sessions for runners. Specifically, it enables users to engage in pre-set programmed workouts with various customizable features.

This application offers robust support for:

• Distance interval repeats, inclusive of warm-up, interval rest, and cool-down phases
• Time interval repeats, also featuring warm-up, interval rest, and cool-down
• Multi-leg long distance runs
• Flexibility to choose between running in miles or kilometers

Users have the ability to tailor the number of intervals, precise distances and times, as well as paces for each workout, which enhances personalization and effectiveness.

Key features of Sprint-o-Mat include:

• Optional GPS for improved distance tracking and detailed workout maps
• Haptic feedback to signal the commencement of new intervals
• A visual display that incorporates a pace runner for real-time guidance
• Color-coded pace alerts to indicate whether users are within their designated pace zones

Privacy Policy Considerations

Sprint-o-Mat requires authorization to access certain data from HealthKit. While users may choose not to grant this access, it is important to note that the application’s functionalities may be compromised.

Should users allow access, the app reads:

• Your heart rate
• Active calories burned
• Total running distance

This data is utilized solely during workouts to provide real-time feedback. Additionally, if permitted, workout data will be recorded in Apple’s Health and Activity apps. Importantly, no data is sent to external servers or third-party services.

If users wish to revoke health data access at any time, this can be accomplished through the Settings App under Health > Apps.

Sprint-o-Mat also seeks location information; however, this is optional. Users can opt out, albeit with the understanding that this may affect the accuracy of distance tracking while still allowing the app to function effectively.

The app commits to not storing or sharing any of the collected data with third parties. All pertinent information is recorded with the workout directly into Apple's Health and Activity apps.
