OutFront (US $ 4.99) is a GPS iPhone app that tracks your time, distance and pace for a variety of outdoor activities, running, cycling and sailing. Since I am a racer, I put the app OutFront to the test to see how it stacks up against favorites like RunMeter or RunKeeper Pro.

The first thing you see when you start the application is a login screen. you must create an account, which is free and easy to do by OutFront app. Once you have completed the task, the homepage is fairly simple.I recommend, by extracting the menu settings before so you can enter your weight and change the default units from kilometers to miles.

OutFront integrates with Facebook and Twitter, you can share your workouts with friends. You can have the application automatically send out a Tweet when I start or stop an execution, for example. While that is a characteristic, RunMeter, my app running-rated, has more features as automatic email warnings, announcements and voice virtual competitions.

The application of OutFront integrates with mapmytracks.com, a center of online activity that offers more reporting options and the ability to view other users ' activities.After a race, app OutFront automatically transfers data at mapmytracks.com so you can see total downloads and route maps. the site also includes some nifty graphs that show the elevation gain and pace of fluctuations during execution.

Starting from rush OutFront is simple.Just tap ' start ' on the homepage and start searching for a signal GPS app.Of all applications running that I tested, OutFront has time connection faster GPS--took just a second or two to gain a strong GPS signal in most of my test.The application works fine when running, although numbers may be larger.That is one thing that I really liked about applying RunMeter, which displays all your data running in large numbers that are very easy to read.

Finished running app OutFront Show total distance and duration, average pace, plus a map of route. OutFront is very accurate and I was very impressed by real-time maps and data running.

The only disappointment with OutFront is that which does not include any controls iPod from Dashboard screen. you can still listen to the iPod while it is running, but you'll have to get playlist started before you start the application.

OutFront lacking some functionality than other GPS for running applications, and has no way to control your iPod playlist. However, some runners not care about features like voice alarms or virtual competitions--they just want a quick app that connects with GPS and Displays accurate information. If describing, OutFront is worth a download. I was very impressed with the speed and accuracy of this app; I just hope that developers include iPod controls in a future update.Total: 4 stars out of 5.   

What you need to

OutFront works with iPhone GPS enabled as the iPhone 3 G, 3Gs and 4. It requires iPhone OS 3.1.2 or later.
