About this APK

Ghostracer - GPS Run & Cycle is an app by Brave the Skies in the Health & Fitness category, listed since at least January 2021. It includes native code only for x86 64-bit, so it won't install on ordinary ARM phones (only on x86 devices such as emulators and some Chromebooks).

Since version 1.0.5.8, the minimum Android version rose from 4.4 to 5.0. It asks for 21 permissions, 6 of them sensitive, including precise location, approximate location and body sensors.
