Three Routes: Run & Walk, an iPhone and Apple Watch app for planning and recording runs and walks, is giving away its one-time lifetime Pro unlock for a limited time. New Mobile Life reports that the lifetime option normally costs US $29.99. The App Store listing, published by developer STEVEN JAMES GOOD, carries the line “Launch Promo Offer - Free Lifetime Until Halloween” and shows Three Routes Pro Lifetime at $0.00.
What is free, and for how long
The free item is the lifetime version of Three Routes Pro, sold as an in-app purchase. The app itself is a free download. The listing says the promotion runs until Halloween, but neither the listing nor New Mobile Life gives an exact date, hour or time zone, so the end date is not stated precisely.
The listing does not show Canadian pricing. The US $29.99 figure is a US dollar price reported by New Mobile Life, and the listing shows its prices without naming a currency.
What the app does
According to the listing, Three Routes covers several jobs in one app:
- Route planning with up to three options per request, using Apple Maps pedestrian directions, as a circular loop or an Out & Back, set by distance or by time and pace.
- Original 5K and 10K training plans with guided run and walk sessions, plus custom workouts with warm-up, run, recovery and cool-down stages.
- GPS recording on iPhone or Apple Watch, with spoken cues and haptics on the Watch.
- Saved routes that can be shared as GPX files, and optional saving of workouts to Apple Health with your permission.
- Squat counting with an on-device camera or by hand, and a guided stretch routine.
The developer states that there are no advertising or third-party analytics SDKs, and the privacy label says no data is collected. Apple notes that this information is supplied by the developer and has not been verified. The developer’s own privacy page also describes the app, its Apple Watch companion and its widgets.
How to get it
- On an iPhone, open the Three Routes: Run & Walk listing on the App Store and download the app.
- Open it and finish the first setup screens.
- When the paywall appears, check the Lifetime option. New Mobile Life says that if it shows $0, you can take it at no cost.
- If the price is anything other than $0, the promotion has ended, so do not confirm the purchase.
The listing adds that prices and any eligible offers are shown in the app before you buy.
What it means for readers
This suits anyone who wants one app for route planning and basic run and walk training and would otherwise face a subscription. Without Pro, the listing says new installs get a welcome period of unlimited route searches, after which only a small number of route searches and camera squat sessions are free each period. Pro otherwise costs $4.99 monthly or $19.99 yearly, per the listing.
Things to check first: the app needs iOS 17.0 or later and, for the Watch features, watchOS 10.0 or later. New routes need an internet connection and depend on Apple Maps coverage, so confirm that your area is covered. The listing also says fitness guidance is general information, not medical advice. It has too few ratings to show an average. Always get the app from the official App Store listing.
