Advertises live tracking
Advertise this as having live tracking, but an hour in to the start of the race and it’s still showing that the marathon relay will be starting soon. App is not intuitive to use at all. The only benefit is the links to info about the Akron race.
Multiple races
The only issue I have with the app is it won’t update the different events. I did the race series this year and before each event I have had to delete and reinstall the app each time because it won’t update to the current event. Other than that I like the app.
Inaccurate or delayed
I had used this app this year and last year so I could have followers on my Akron Races. On the Goodyear Half Marathon race, it still says I’m running even though the race ended a few weeks ago. I also was told it hung around the finish line for a while even though I was nowhere near the finish line. Then it decided to trace me 4 miles behind(an example is when I crossed the finish line, it finally decided to start tracking at mile 7)

Poorly functioning
This app does not work well. Multiple attempts to add Sport ID failed.
The app also failed to track the bib, and some experienced person said 20-30% people the app will not adequately track (as a heads up if people are trying to track you).
The app said I was still actively running the course even one hour after finished.

Nice app
Love results a little slow
MISLEADING/FALSE INFORMATION
This app displays a pace that is completely bogus until passing on of the splits at 7.5, 15, and 12.8 miles (for the mini), leaving the user with a TOTALLY inaccurate impression of the runner’s performance except at those spots. You can’t go 7.5 miles between accurate updates!
The screen freezes regularly when looking at the map so that you can’t slide it or zoom. Transition between screens is awkward, requiring you to select the runner each time rather than being able to toggle between the map and split times screens. The “Y” symbol with a “do” in the middle is undefined. It does make the splits, but by clicking on it you should be able to learn more than the mile mark, like what it means.
The map is completely misleading in that it apparently is based on a projected pace rather than actual location. At the “finish”, The app shows conflicting information. Map shows runner reached the finish line, but the split times aren’t shown yet for even the 12.8, let alone the finish, and the projected finish time continues to count down at the current clock time.
So, basically, the information presented by the app is totally imaginary.

Very good
Liked the tracking others tracked myself and I could track others while running.
Awesome
Was great to follow the status of the runners!
Great app for a great race
First class, like everything associated with Akron Marathon. Best event, time and time again.
Best Race-Specific App!
I have used many so-called "race-specific" apps to track myself and others, get race info, etc. Usually they are random third-party apps that fit a "want" but don't fit the "need". The Akron Marathon Race Series app goes above and beyond! It gives exactly what you need and want direct from the people involved with the races. The in-house branding helps too! No third-party nonsense here. Well done!
