I’m happy to announce you’ll be able to run your favorite Virtual Active tours on Android soon. There is a bit of a twist, however. Rather than re-write the existing “Virtual Active” for android, we have created a whole new app simply titled “BitGym”. It’s been our labor for nearly a year, and it’s a culmination of the feedback you have been giving us.
BitGym will be released on both iOS and Android. It includes all the Virtual Active trails you love. We knew variety was important, so instead of asking you to buy each tour we wanted to give users access to the entire Virtual Active library. We also wanted you to be able to stream each tour instantly instead of filling up your device storage with videos. To accomplish this we’ve moved to a subscription pricing model. For $8/month you’ll get unlimited streaming and offline access to all of BitGym’s content. There is an opportunity to get it much cheaper though – read on.
We are launching this effort via Kickstarter, and supporters who back us now will receive a lifetime discount on BitGym. Not to mention free beta access, t-shirts, and a special profile badge.
Oh and the coolest part? We’re adding multiplayer. Soon you’ll be able to take your best friend on a run through the Alps, complete with voice chat.
So please check out our kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acgourley/bitgym?ref=uservoice
We’ve been working non-stop for last year on this, and I hope you guys will support us.
Sincerely,
Alex, Clint, Josh and Keerthik
