About this app

Looper allows you to generate and navigate running loops in your home city and beyond. With turn-by-turn navigation that gets you back to where you started, Looper will plot a variety of routes with low traffic and high air quality, wherever you are.

EASILY NAVIGATE AROUND UNFAMILIAR CITIES
They say the best way to explore a city is on foot. Think about all the time you could spend plotting scenic routes around unfamiliar cities, trying to not get lost. Now think about letting Looper do that for you. Looper plots a selection of routes, navigates you around them, and takes you right back to where you started. All you have to do is run.

DISCOVER MORE OF YOUR HOME CITY
If you’ve ever been stuck running the same old route, you already know the monotony we’re trying to avoid. Plotting routes is time-consuming, and it’s easy to fall back into that familiar loop around the park. Looper generates varied routes so you see more than just the shops down the road. All while keeping fit.

CHOOSE FROM UP TO SIX DIFFERENT ROUTE OPTIONS
You’ll be spoilt for choice.

THOUGHTFULLY CALCULATED ROUTES
The selection of routes should keep your runs feeling fresh, but so should the routes themselves. Loops are plotted with the air quality index, traffic index, green spaces, and points of interest in mind. It’s a trade-off: you get thoughtfully calculated routes but if you’re out of breath, that old pollution excuse won’t fly anymore.

TURN-BY-TURN NAVIGATION
Running is just as much about the mind as the body. That’s why we want to do some of the mental heavy-lifting for you. Looper offers visual and voice turn-by-turn navigation so you can focus on what really matters; just putting one foot in front of the other.

GET BACK TO WHERE YOU STARTED
It sounds simple, but being guided back to your door is more important than you might think. Especially when you’re in an unfamiliar city. Or running an new route. Or when you’re too exhausted to handle real-time navigation. Just keep running, and let Looper take care of the rest.

TRACK THE DISTANCE OF YOUR RUN
Proof. You never know when you might need it.

GO FREESTYLE
Exploring doesn’t always happen in a perfect circle. If you want to go off piste, just hit ‘freestyle’. You can return to the loop when you’re ready.

TAKE THE FASTEST ROUTE HOME
We’ve all been there. We’ve gone big, and then we’ve wanted to go home. If you find yourself running out of gas in the tank, hit ‘take me home’ to find the most direct route back to your door.

KEEP TRACK OF YOU
We’re not saying that you’re going to get lost running round in circles. But, if by some chance you do, Looper will keep track of you, so you can navigate back to the loop.
