History

The initial idea was born during a project at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria[4] for tracking sailboat races.[5]

The company was founded in 2009 by Florian Gschwandtner, Christian Kaar, René Giretzlehner, and Alfred Luger in Pasching, Upper Austria.

In August 2015, it was announced that Adidas had acquired Runtastic for €220 million ($240 million), this included the 50.1% stake Axel Springer bought in the company back in 2013, making Runtastic entirely owned by Adidas.[6]

At the beginning of 2019, Runtastic turned away from its multi-app strategy and focused on developing its two most important apps. These were rebranded in September of the same year. The "Runtastic" app became "Adidas Running", and the "Results" app became "Adidas Training".[7]

Reception

The broad acceptance of multi-functional mobile devices generally helped reviews of products that make good use of all the extra functionality (e.g., GPS-tracking, audio and video recording and playback, web-syncing, social sharing). This can be seen in reviews of company products, for example from The Verge,[8] TechCrunch,[9] VentureBeat,[10] or The Next Web.[11]
