The app comes from the makers of the [RunKeeper app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pace-progress), but instead of focusing on jogs, it acts like a pedometer, coach and tracker to keep tabs on your movements, as well as celebrate your successes. The Breeze app is optimized for iPhone 5 devices running on iOS 7 or later, since it taps into the [activity tracker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitbro). Even though Breeze may be busily running in the background, the app uses minimal battery life so that when your phone is tucked away, the battery levels aren't drained. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fitness Pedometer Apps:** Opportunities for companies to create mobile apps that track fitness beyond running - like walking and other physical activities. - **Personalized Fitness Coaching Apps:** Opportunities for companies to develop mobile apps that provide personalized coaching based on individual fitness data and preferences. - **Low-power Fitness Tracker Apps:** Opportunities for companies to develop mobile apps that require minimal battery life but can still track fitness and provide feedback. ### Where This Applies - **Mobile App Development:** Opportunities for mobile app development companies to create new fitness tracker apps or improve existing ones like the Breeze app. - **Wearable Technology:** Opportunities for wearable technology companies to integrate with mobile apps and provide more accurate fitness tracking data. - **Fitness and Wellness:** Opportunities for fitness and wellness companies to partner with mobile app developers and create new products and services that integrate fitness tracking data. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Integrated Daily Step Counters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steps-daily.md) - [Route-Making Running Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitcrumbs.md) - [Comprehensive Running Diaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godiary-running-tracker.md) - [Simple Activity Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/activity-journey.md) - [Productivity-Focused Exercise Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steppin.md) - [Gamified Walking Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkable.md) - [Comprehensive Fitness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strava-2.md) - [Gamified Step Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cangogo.md) - [Fitness Tracking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitbro.md)
