After a long process of updates, the new version of 321run will use the iPhone OS 3. This version of the OS that was released in July allows a ton of new features, such as in-app maps à la Maps, music selection and access, new nicer animations etc etc.
So guess what? The new features of 321run are using these core features.
A simple example is handling of sound and music. In 321Run 1.2, you still need to start the music before you run or start the app. That’s is annoying. And if the music you’ve decided to listen to doesn’t please you in the middle of your run, you’re stuck with it.
Actually in the latest version available today in the AppStore, you can skip if you have a headphone remote, and that’s all. And if the whole list doesn’t please you, rats! You have to quit the app to choose other music.
In the 2.0 version, you can directly choose your music from within the app. Click the music icon and you have access to all your music, tracks and playlists. Add files one by one or add them all, and you are done. And if you don’t like the music you’re listening to right now, you can easily skip it or change it. If you want to change the list of music, just go back to the list and choose new tracks: the music will directly change.
While you run, if you need to change the music and skip, and you don’t have a remote on your headphones, double tap the black screen and you’ll skip.
But wait, there’s more…
You remember that time when you didn’t hear the sound of the coach telling you how far you are, or when to change rythm? It won’t happen again. Now, everytime the coach speaks, the music lowers its volume so you can hear him.
That’s it for today. But come back to learn what is new. Or better, subscribe to the rss feed and to the web site 321run.com, right now.
