First, you’ll want to learn your cadence by running at a consistent, moderate intensity for one full minute. The app will then provide you with a cadence summary, which will help improve your running by reducing shock impact. The next time you go for a run, set your target cadence and monitor to the best of your ability. You’ll see results in no time.

You’re a frequent runner. You’ll be surprised how much it can help.

Planet of Cubes places you in an open environment with an unlimited amount of other players located worldwide. When you’re placed on the planet, you’re provided with your very own rental space where you can build anything you want from cubes. But be careful, because rental spaces will expire, and when they do you can be locked out of building on them and another player can take over. The game includes more than 160 different players skins to choose from, built-in chat, and the ability to explore anything and everything on the planet.

You love to create. The ability to collaborate and take over other players’ work adds even more to the mix.

You’ll need coins to unlock new skins.
