Bluefin Software, LLC

Welcome to Bluefin Software.Bringing your training plan to the mobile world.

About Us

Bluefin Software is powered by a husband and wife duo, Alex and Tanya Stankovic. Together, we develop apps for mobile devices. Our apps are more than just beautiful at their core, they're designed around the fitness experiences of real people and supported by the latest knowledge in health and fitness, software design, and technology.

We came upon the idea for our first app during our first running experience in 2008. That year, we decided it was time to get in shape and set off on an adventure to tackle a 5K training program. Alex quickly realized that following the training program could be much easier, so he created an iPhone app to help us follow the program and make it more hassle-free. The result? We started enjoying our runs, and we haven't stopped yet! Since 2008, we've completed several 5K races and the 2010 Chicago Half Marathon.

To this day, we use our products regularly in our workouts, change anything that doesn't work for us, and listen to customer feedback. By offering these great apps, we hope to enrich the lives of others through fitness and lifestyle changes while utilizing the latest technology. We strive to provide great functionality, customer support, and community for all of our users.

Are you a running coach who offers training plans? Would you like to offer your training plans as an iPhone app? If so, we have the perfect solution for you: our RunHelper mobile training platform.

We have been diligently developing our mobile training platform since 2008 and have some of the most popular running apps in the App Store - all of which run on our platform. We can take your running plan and build a custom mobile app for you.

Plan Schedule

Enable your customers to carry your training plan right in their pockets. Your app will display your training schedule with a well-designed and intuitive interface where customers can track their progress and always know what workout they need to do next.

GPS

Our mobile training platform has GPS support, allowing your customers to see the distance and pace of their run with nothing more than their phone.

Mapping

Seeing is believing. When your app is built with RunHelper, your customers will be able to view a map of their run location and overlay their exact route on top of it.

Training Journal

Every workout is saved in an in-app workout journal so your customers can make notes about their workout and see the stats and map of their run. The Journal also features a calendar view that displays workouts by the month, giving users instant visual feedback on how often they've run in a given month.

Social Networks

With built-in Facebook and Twitter integration, your customers can publish their runs and let their friends know how they are doing. This is a great motivational tool for those who like to be held accountable by their friends and family.
