RunKeeper for iOS integrates Spotify into app

RunKeeper knows how well music and running work together. That’s why the app now integrates the streaming music service Spotify. The feature will be available for Spotify premium users. It’ll let you open music right from RunKeeper’s start screen. You don’t just get access to your playlists, too. The app will even suggest top workout playlists for you. It’s currently only available for iOS though. We won’t be surprised if it’ll make its way to Android pretty soon.
