I’m proud to announce that Buddy Runner was released!
Instead of investing in expensive sport watches, you can turn your mobile phone (currently Google Android) to one. Buddy Runner allows you to track your workout, while clearly providing statistical info and real-time voice feedback during the workout.
Go ahead and check my dashboard at http://www.buddyrunner.com/yossi.pik
Yep, this is what kept me busy in the last weeks and probably will keep me busy going forward as now there are real users (500 downloads in the first 12 hours) with feature requests and bugs to fix (not much).
So, if you have a G1 phone, go to Android Market and get yourself a buddy to run with.

Way to go!
The dashboard UI looks good...
Btw, you should modify the alternative flash text (for people who don't have Flash, like me up to 5 minutes ago). It currently says "Alternative text goes here."
Looks good.
What about other activities such as biking?
@Eran, thanks. will be fixed.
@Uri, buddy for biking is also planned.
This might get me:
1. A New gadget - G1
2. A reason to start running
:-)
BTW, are you testing it on a real G1?
How is the Android SDK so far?
Good luck!
Yep. I'm using a real Android phone.
The SDK is very good, especially the emulator that speeds up the development. Give it a try. I would be happy to help.
Cool!
If you need any Beta site- I am it. I am currently training for the TLV marathon...
(Don't have an Android phone though :)
Or, good luck with the next Marathon. I wonder if my body is ready for such a challenge
How about Buddy Runner in
hebrew?
;-)
I wish there were more Android users in Israel...
congrats. :)
the dashboard looks great!
would like to see some more videos/screenshots of the actual phone app.
Do you know if Buddy Runner still works even after you lock your phone?
During workout, Buddy Runner keeps running in the background and tracks your workout even if the phone is locked.
When there is no workout in progress, Buddy Runner does not work when the phone is locked to save battery.
Thank you. I just got back from a run and it worked just fine. Again thank you.
..never tried buddy runner...using another app called CardioTrainer that works really well! Heard the gps feature works better with CardioTrainer
@buff20000, give a try to Buddy Runner. Would appreciate getting your feedback.
Anyhow, enjoy your runs!
oh man, I have just found out about it only after the TLV marathon, Damn it could have been nice...
Looks great. I have downloaded your software but can't figure how to get to my dashboard. Am I missing something?
Hi there - I do like this app although the GPS doesn't seem to work as well as MyTracks and it 'drops' the signal more often on the same walk. But I love the calorie counter. Can you tell me what formula you use for taking account of calories and elevation? I presume that it does take account of elevation and weight and calculates calories accordingly?
Hi!
App looks promising. Does anyone have any recommendations on G1 running accessories like an arm band for running (how else might you carry it) bluetooth headphones, etc.
Hey! I am from Brazil, i've just starting running and i have a milestone (motorola) and forerunner 305... Your application it's amazing :D Congrats ;) i just missing the heart monitor... :) any idea for a device (hardware) that could connect with the heart monitor? your application it's amazing ;)
Hi there, I can't seem to find Buddy Runner in the Market on my HTC Hero with Sprint. Any advice on how I can get this app? or is it not available to Sprint Customers? I even tried the barcode scanner on the website and that didn't work either....I appreciate any help!
Julia,
I am in Brazil... and i could find it using my market app into my i5700 now :) try this link...

If didn't work let me know i can send to you by e-mail the apk :)
Have fun! It's the most amazing for workout that i've tried :) Again :) congrats...
For some reason I can't find it in the Android Market. I searched and I also used the QR code. Has it been removed?
Love the Buddy Runner so far! I have the Motorola Droid through Verizon.. I was trying to access the website my phone, but it said I didn't have the right version of flash.. think there will be a fix for that? Or maybe an update to the app to shows the charts? That would be nice because that is the best part! Seeing your charts!
Awesome looking app! Looking forward to trying it today after work. Finally something on android that gives me what Trailguru did for the iphone. =)
Buddy Runner version 50.
Failed to track run until 1 mile into exercise. Any suggestions?
THANKS...
