Has anyone tried out the new iPhone App, Zombies, Run! ? https://www.zombiesrungame.com/

I just went out for a run with it and I LOVE it!! Especially when you have the option "zombie chase" on. When zombies are chasing after you, there is a beep. The slower the interval of beeps, the further away they are. But if you slow down, the beeps come on faster and then the zombies are closer. It's pretty cool!

What I really would like is for them to log my distance, pace, and calories. But they say that's "Coming Soon" and they're going to integrate it with RunKeeper. I think tomorrow I'll try to have both Runkeeper and this running and see how it goes. But I really like it! The story is super interesting!

    It's 8 bucks and it's amazing! It's a lot of fun. You pretty much just do missions and run from zombies!

    All I can see are dollar signs! This company is ingenius. They are taking the idea that Wii started with combining games and exercise to the extreme! Awesome

    There is a free Android zombie run app.
    Not sure if it is the same.
    Looks like you enter the density of zombie, the speed of the zombies and it has a map.
    So it may be.

    I LOVE zombie movies and shows...LOVE! But there is no way I could use that app. I'd wind up having a heart attack from fear before anything. I used to work out at my apartment gym and on the way back up to my apartment, I'd play mind games with myself (not on purpose). I'd tell myself if I didn't get back inside my home with the door shut before the song was finished, I was going to be attacked by zombies. I hated that I did that to myself and it would scare the absolute crap out of me. I do this at night when I have to get up to pee too. I tell myself if I'm not back in bed in a certain amount of seconds, a zombie is going to grab me. I actually wish I hadn't read this right now because I'm home alone and freaking out now.

    Definitely isn't the same~! It's called "Zombies, Run!" not to be confused with others.

    So I tried it out this morning and it was so much fun. Its pretty immersive and can be a great distraction from a typical run. I give it 10/10
