Codoon is one of the top social fitness apps in China with over 100M users around the world. As running, hiking, and other outdoor activities are growing in popularity in China, more users are relying on smartphone apps to track activities and connect with peers.

You can now track your exercise routes and progress in 3D AR with the latest version of the Codoon app, providing a more interactive experience and a new way to share content with friends.

The Codoon app is built with our Maps SDK for Mobile, allowing users to discover nearby routes and track stats for each route, all contextualized on a custom map. The latest iOS update adds a new AR playback feature so users can visualize their activities in 3D. This feature is built with our Maps SDK for Unity, which provides developers the tools to create location-based 3D and AR experiences.

Codoon users can visualize their routes in 3D AR for all types of terrain, from flat land to coastlines to mountains.

Use the Maps SDK for Unity to add location-based AR experiences in your app. Contact our sales team to learn more.
