Untrod vs CityStrides: which is right for you?
Both colour in the streets you’ve covered, using OpenStreetMap. CityStrides is a website that turns runs, walks and hikes from your trackers into street progress per city; Untrod is a walking app for iPhone that records walks itself and adds neighbourhoods, stamps and daily routes.
Choose CityStrides if…
- You already record with Strava, Garmin, Coros, Polar or Runkeeper and want it to sync
- You run and hike as well as walk
- You want to compare your progress with others in your city
Choose Untrod if…
- You mostly walk and want the app to record your walks
- You like collecting neighbourhoods and landmark stamps
- You want a suggested route through new streets each day
