TELO is an app that puts users in short audio-AR experiences that make them run in order to escape, survive and/or win them. This makes the experience of running far more fun than guided lessons available on several other running training apps. It provides users the necessary motivation and keeps them engaged through creative storytelling and engaging smart alerts.
