Disappointed
This app did not work properly with my iPhone 8. Wouldn’t locate GPS even though my watch had full signal. Lost 1 mile of progress within 5 miles. Occasionally gave me a an update up to about 6 miles in and then stopped. Did not have any option to save at the end of the race. Waste of time.
Buggy
The idea of this is great - have a race virtually, and things like sound at various miles is cute. But the implementation isn’t there. I used this for the GNR reimagined and it didn’t register the first kilometer I ran, and seemingly crashed my other running tracker I had on. The app doesn’t have any of my detailed running info either so I’m stuck with an inaccurate summary with nothing else. It did burn through battery too. Not really being able to even test for things like GPS signal didn’t help - if the app is a bit flaky, give us a chance to test things. Disappointed at my inaccurately bad GNR time

Great app until the last 400m! Argh!!!
Great app until the last 400m!!!! Just finished GNR but it crashed in the last 400m when the finishing commentators were painting a picture of the finish line! It suddenly cut out and when I got my phone out it said would I like to save or continue the race. I said continue and it put me back into the race at 18km and roughly 1000 places back then crashed again so closed the app. Soul destroying finish to the race and couldn’t do another 6km. Hopefully they will accept another form of recording. The rest of it was great hearing all sorts of famous people cheering you on. And the red arrows of course!

Unreliable
It worked for the first 5 miles then constantly asked me if I wanted to continue and I heard none of the commentary for the Great North Run. It’s a good job I used my own watch to track the run as it was a mile out when I finished. I wouldn’t use the app again and it’s been deleted!
Needs serious work
This version is too unreliable to be of any use, needs some serious work to make it useable. GPS drops too easily in places where I’ve never had any problems previously. Race ruined because the app stopped working halfway through.
This app worked fine, for the first 8,5 km of a 21,1 km run
App had all permissions it wanted and kept dying during warm up. During run it stopped logging after 8,5 of a half marathon. Useless PoS. Garmin and Strava saved me.
Crashing
App was awful. During Great North Run, it kept stopping during the race and losing GPS. Apple activity app worked fine, so must be poor app rather than issue with GPS
Not working and don’t le me update
The app is not working, I’m waiting for the update (show me update to 1.4.1) but it doesn’t let me do it, I’m waiting for something before the race (tomorrow) but it’s impossible to use because my race is not in the list...
I had no race results
I think the App is great but yesterday I ran a 5K race I had an excellent signal I made my race Migros Run N Win, it did not mark anything and in the results I do not appear, I ran it while I was in Miami, I do not know if it is a problem of the app but it is frustrating and I repeat the signal was super good since my Polar measured the route and the kilometers perfectly as always
