Before you start your virtual run there are a few important points to consider. They differ between Android and iOS.
You can check the settings in the app under Settings -> Is my device ready to start!
Important app settings for iOS users
-
Make sure the viRACE app has access to your location.
Settings > viRACE > Location > Always or While Using the App. On some iPhone models the location permission does not show up immediately. Tap Start in the bottom left and the app will trigger the permission request.
-
Make sure the battery on your phone is well charged.
A battery level that is too low can stop background activity even before the battery reaches 0%.
-
Make sure mobile data is enabled and that you choose a route with reliable reception.
Only start the run once you are outside and disable Wi-Fi just to be safe.
-
Using the microphone (phone, voice control, camera) can interrupt the audio guide.
Enjoy your run without distractions.
