Runkeeper now allows you to sync music from Spotify
To start the year well and continue with the resolutions to improve in this 2015 sometimes you need a little help and motivation And the team at Runkeeper knows that the best option is music Even more so when practicing sports. Perhaps for this reason it has reached an agreement with the best-known Internet music service: Spotify In this way, they seek to offer the user's favorite music during their workoutsA real convenience to avoid switching between applications and taking extra steps.
The agreement allows the user to link their Runkeeper account with their Spotify Premium , your version of payment In this way it is possible to use the playlists created by the user himself through the sports application With this, you only have to establish the exercise to be done, choose the music and practice sport. Something that avoids having to search for new songs, carry them all in the terminal's memory or stay halfway through training without music. And it is that Spotify also has infinite playlists with selections of songs for the wholetype of activities and tastes
Of course, you must meet certain requirements And, for the moment, this agreement can only be carried out through the version for iOS of Runkeeper, which has been recently updated to be able to use this new service. In addition, it is necessary for iPhone users to have downloaded both the Runkeeper application and the application itself from Spotify Once this is done, just follow the steps in the sports tool to link both accounts and be able to choose the contents of the Spotify service as the training music source
Apparently this would only be the first step of the improvement agreement being carried out by what is one of the most known to quantify training details The next step will be to be able to link both applications also on the platform Android, although it won't end there.At the moment there are no more details or specific dates, but it is hoped that this sports tool will continue to evolve throughout 2015
And a warning to mariners. The Runkeeper itself warns that, from this integration, a greater consumption of Internet data by its application is detected. Something to be attributed to Spotify, of course, since the streaming service requires a constant connection to be able to bring music from the Internet directly to the terminal.
It is also worth mentioning that in its last update, Runkeeper included an interesting widget for iPhone With it it is possible to see from the control center what is the training plan for the day , in addition to knowing the statistics and being able to start the racefrom here, without having to access the application directly.
The new version of Runkeeper is now available for iOS usersthrough the App Store. It's a free app, but it has several in-app purchases inside it.
