How do I switch between light and dark in the app?
Updated
In the RunFast app on iPhone or Android, open You and choose System, Light or Dark beside Appearance. System, the default, follows your phone, and the change is instant. Maps always stay light, so routes and the runners on the live map read the same either way.
Where to set it
In the RunFast app on iPhone or Android:
- Open You.
- Under Settings, find Appearance.
- Choose System, Light or Dark.
The app changes straight away, with nothing to restart. The choice is kept on that phone.
Which to choose
- System follows your phone, so the app goes dark when your phone does, for example at night. It’s the default.
- Light or Dark keeps one look all the time.
In the dark look, buttons stay RunFast blue with white text, and links turn a lighter blue so they’re easy to read.
Maps stay light
Maps never go dark: street maps stay light, and satellite imagery stays as it is. Only the screens around them change. That keeps your route, its colours and the runners on the live map easy to read.
The colours that mean something stay the same in both looks: green, yellow, orange and red for the weather’s effect and for heat stress. See why the route is coloured.
