Everything you need to know about Are You Faster
Yes. Are You Faster is currently free to download and use at the core, with no subscriptions, hidden costs, or ads. We are a Community Interest Company committed to accessible fitness.
iOS (iPhone and iPad) on iOS 16.0 or later, and Android 6.0 or later. GPS works best outdoors in open areas.
Run Wild is GPS-paced racing against a species-scale roster of 6,561 biologically accurate mammal opponents waiting to challenge you, with five difficulty bands. Hunt and Escape are chase-versus-survive rulesets inside Run Wild. Community adds human and team challengers across multiple sports. Fantasy Teams are rotating featured opponent lines with their own leaderboard scope.
We prioritise privacy: detailed GPS traces and personal run history stay on your device. Online features (leaderboards, profiles, daily race limits, live roster data) use secure cloud infrastructure and only sync what those systems need. We do not sell your personal data. A signed-in account is required for ranked online play and community features. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
Are You Faster is a gameplay-first GPS racer with a live-updated mammal roster and a clear split between Run Wild, Community, and Fantasy Teams, currently free at the core, built by a UK CIC. That is a different product shape from subscription-first social trackers or audio-coaching apps.
The app is designed for outdoor GPS. Indoors or on a treadmill, GPS is often weak or inaccurate; outdoor use is recommended.
