Looks like an abandoned project https://github.com/timfraedrich/OutRun

Or feature complete?

Bugs are not being fixed. The author said a little year ago that "I wouldn't necessarily say abandoned. I still work on it from time to time, but progress is very very slow", but its has not being worked on a long time before and since this message. So its safe to say that its not an active project.

I’m really interested in this, but it looks like it hasn’t been worked on in a while and there are some crash reports on the iOS store reviews. I would love if Apple built some of this in native apps. I do like sharing runs with a small group of friends.

Apple native app is called fitness. You can share workouts.

Can you record a run in there somewhere? Might just be bad googling, but I can’t see an option just using the phone.

Looks great. I'm abit worried about it being free, though. People that take on arduous tasks for free tend to get tired of it after some time. Open source helps a lot here, though, so I'm not too worried. Source is here, fwiw: https://github.com/timfraedrich/OutRun Edit: Looks like the project is abandoned. So, yeah, maybe it should have costed a couple of bucks.

I think a free project that’s someone’s passion is a better long term fit than $5 app that eventually gets monetized by adidas or something.

Very nice but last update was 3y ago so not going to survive Apple's "break backward compatibility like it's 1999" approach.

A lot of these apps that come with fitness hardware are free these days (i.e., Wahoo bike computer, Garmin watch) so there's less of a need for something like this. But nevertheless kudos for making it FOSS.
