leadchipmunk Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I've actually been waiting patiently for this!Quick question... Does this require GPS to work? My phone (Samsung Infuse) doesn't like GPS and I'm lucky if I hit one satellite, let alone the 3 needed for mapping.

cracked_belle Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 anyone use the Android app yet? how's it working out for you? I'm terribly interested. there is never a sudden revelation, a complete and tidy explanation for why it happened, or why it ends, or Why or Who you are. you want one and I want one, but there isn't one. it comes in bits and pieces, and you stitch them together wherever they fit, and when you are done you hold yourself up, and still there are holes and you are a rag doll, invented, imperfect. and yet you are all that you have, so you must be Enough. there is no other way. ― Marya Hornbacher, Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia Link to comment
fire.eagle Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 O.O I might have to replace Endomondo.But seriously, has anyone tried this yet? I'm all for supporting the devs, but I get a little twitchy when an app costs $8.

Yanz Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Fire.Eagle: I bought this and it's working nicely, with more updates planned very soon.. I emailed the dev before buying and they said they plan to continue supporting Android for as long as they continue iPhone.. and with a 72,000+ backing from kickstarter over their original goal of 12.5k they're doing pretty good on funds. Especially with the app costing so much. Their support is amazingly fast at replying, so any problems you have they will fix for you and future updates will be awesome.Android app is awesome. It makes me continue running, I came home to finish my run and heard a transmission saying there was a zombie behind me, so I went back out and ran faster than before to outrun it before returning home.

jdanger Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I don't know how this works but I eagerly await witnessing people running mindlessly into traffic and other obstacles in an effort to avoid dots on their phone while running.

Vicarious Ink Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Haha. I love this app, I bought it when it came out for the Android on June 14th. It's so damn amazing. I love it. Yes, if you want to do zombie chases, you need to have GPS enabled, but I also have a Samsung Infuse and it works really well. Once you finish missions, you can upload them to your zombielink so that other people can see your runs, like so:http://www.zombiesrungame.com/Vicarious/108726/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] |Ogre Monk| My Challenge to all NF'ers Link to comment

I was under the impression that was pretty much the only thing it did was the missions. Well, besides tracking.And do you have any problems with the Infuse picking up GPS? It seems hit or miss from what I hear about the Infuses, but I must have had a major miss because I can never pick up any satellites...I could use one of my parents' old iPhones as an mp3 player and get the iOS bersion of the app. But I'd much rather not have to pay for it again when I upgrade my phone (hopefully) within a year. That, and I detest iStuff...

Jkaylor Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 OMG its so much fun. I just want to keep running and it made the time fly by. I want to run away from zombies every night Link to comment
fire.eagle Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Thanks for the review Yanz.Well, I shelled out the $8 and picked it up last night. I think I'm going to try to test it out on a run tomorrow morning when it's only upper 70s, as opposed to my normal evening runs where it's been 90 lately...

fire.eagle Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Finally got out and did a run with this app. This thing is amazing. Definitely worth $8. It's like Wheatley is coaching me though the zombie apocalypse.Yep, the radio guy reminds me of Wheatley from Portal 2. I can't stop hearing it now.Only warning is make sure you have short songs/a long enough run. I had some 8 minute songs on my playlist and got caught by zombies at the end because I hit the end of my run, but still wanted to finish out the mission.

JerzyJenn Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I had forgotten about this. I had an android and really wanted it. Switched to an iPhone 2 months ago and completely forgot about it. So glad you reminded me. I was going to go to the gym and run on the treadmill tonight while I did C25K but I'm really excited to try this out so I'll brave the heat and run outside now! Just downloaded the app and I can't wait! Link to comment
