LapTrak V4 brings activity tracking direct to the iPhone. You no longer need an Apple Watch to use LapTrak and all features of the Apple Watch app are available on the iPhone app, including all programmes. Now you can choose to track on iPhone or Apple Watch (if you have one).
The Lap Repeats programme has been given an upgrade. You can now track by dynamic location on both fast and recovery laps. Simply set the metric to location and tap the lap button to set a dynamic location point. Return to that point to trigger a lap automatically. This feature is fully supported in both the iPhone and Apple Watch app.
The Classic Laps programme (free with LapTrak) now includes a handy half-way point reminder to motivate you on those long runs!
This release also contains numerous small improvements and bug fixes.

2021-09-09
LapTrak version 2.8 adds the following new features:
- Optional warmup and cooldown laps for every activity type. There's now no need to stop and start new activities for warmup and cooldown - they can be included in the activity itself. Don't worry though - from a stats perspective the warmup and cooldown are separated from the activity itself. When uploading to Strava, LapTrak will allow you to upload warmup and cooldowns as separate activities so your stats remain correct.
- Yasso 800s programme. The famous marathon time predictor and training programme. 10 intervals of 800m at a pace calculated from your target marathon time, with a rest interval in-between. LapTrak calculates your fast and recovery pace and time based on your target marathon time. You can also set the number of intervals so you can work towards the 10-interval programme target. And don't forget you can now build in a warmup and cooldown into the programme.
- Internal improvements and bug fixes.
