◆ Introduction
On June 27, 2012, we released our previous version, JogRecorder. The development tools (Eclipse and Android SDK), which were the mainstream at the time, were no longer supported, and we continued updating the app through trial and error. However, no matter how hard we tried, the previous version was unable to display maps on Android 10.
So, we rebuilt it using Android Studio to enable map display on Android 10. We also added features for sharing recorded screens and photos, as well as the ability to shop for jogging gear, to make jogging and walking more enjoyable. We hope you enjoy it!
◆ About Background Execution
To ensure continued jogging recording, JogRecorder V2 collects location information via GPS in the background only while recording, even if you close the app or turn off the screen.
◆ Main Features
JogRecorder V2 has the following main features.
- Saves GPS location information every second
- Displays lap times every 1km (lap distance can be changed)
- Map display of measured route
- Recording screen sharing (can be shared to X (formerly Twitter), etc.)
- Photo sharing (can be shared to X (formerly Twitter), etc.)
- Shopping function for jogging gear, etc.
(Features jogging gear recommendations on Rakuten Market, and product search functions on Rakuten Market, Amazon, and Yahoo! Shopping)
