About this app
Welcome to Race Day App, the groundbreaking app that can receive stats from your Garmin watch, while your runner is in a race.
Race Day App makes use of the Bluetooth technology built into your phone in order to receive stats from your Garmin watch. Therefore, you can use this app to keep tabs on your friend/son/daughter as they run a race. This app can receive data like distance, time, pace, and heart rate from your runner’s watch, so that you can know how your runner is doing without the guesswork! With this app, you can know at what part of the race you are cheering on your runner, and how long it should take your runner to finish the race! In addition, this app could be useful to cyclists who would like to see their own stats like heart rate right on their phone, without even looking down at their watch!
*******************
Disclaimer: This app sometimes fails. Sometimes it doesn’t receive transmitted data from the watch. That is why it is in BETA. I am working through these bugs, and each update will hopefully make the app easier to use and more stable. If you have encountered a bug, please send me an email.
Also: The companion app for your watch is required to see the race stats. The Garmin app can be found here: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/b25efabb-52a5-43ee-a446-54e370be7e1a
*******************
You should get this app if:
As a parent/friend, you would like to see your runner’s race data in real time.
As a coach, you want to be able to see your runner’s stats in real time.
As a cyclist, would like to see data on your phone, never having to look down at your watch.
It’s a no brainer. Download the companion app for your Garmin Watch here: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/b25efabb-52a5-43ee-a446-54e370be7e1a
