Instructions
a. First, you need to provide your personal and physical information like height, weight, age and gender.
b. Before you start walking/running, open the app, tap “Start Jogging” button inside “Jogging” screen and keep the phone in your pocket. Please be careful so that the phone does not fall from your pocket while you run/walk. After you finish your session, just tap “Stop Jogging”, and you will see the results.
c. You can set your target from the “Settings” screen. Please read the following “Setting targets” section for details on setting targets. To set a target in rounds, you need to configure how long a round is. To do that, just take the app out to the place you run/walk. You need to open the “Configure Round” screen, then tap “Start Round” when you start running/walking and “End Round” when you have finished running one round. The app will calculate how long the round is in kilometers or miles.

Setting targets
a. You can set targets in three ways. First, you can mention that you want to run/walk 3 kilometers, or 3 miles.
b. However, if you are used to run/walk around a park or a field, you can mention number of rounds you want to complete as a target. In that case, you will need to let the application know (only once) how long (in kilometers or miles) one round is. You can do it pretty easily: when you are running or walking, just tell the app when a round begins and ends.
c. The third type of target is calorie burnt. For example, you can specify that you want to burn 300 calories in each session.
d. After your running/walking session ends, the app will show you how you did in achieving the target.

Basis of measurements
a. When you keep the iPhone in your pocket while you run/walk, the application can detect your steps. It can also detect whether you are walking or running, how fast you did move, and how much time you did work out.
b. Based on your physical and personal info (height, weight, age, gender), it can also measure the length of your steps and the rate of calorie burn (for a person like you) during walking/running.
c. Based upon the above information, it then calculates your speed, distance covered, calorie burnt etc.
d. However, please note that these calculations are only approximate, and can vary from the actual numbers. That said, this app will suit your purpose well for normal use.
