The Best App for Humanity

I used the app as my connection to the people I love. I came to New York City by myself to run the marathon, but I’ve never felt closer to my friends and family. That’s because of Cheer My Run.

Thank you for creating this. Five stars to any app that restores our sense of humanity. It’s a wonderful app, and it helped carry me all the way to the finish line.

If I could make one suggestion, it would be to only leave voice messages. Hearing personal messages is so meaningful. The robot voice for the typed messages was often drowned out by the noise of the streets and spectators, which made the messages less effective.

Friends left. Cheers I never received.

I so badly wanted to love this app, but felt that it was just OK. More than half of the cheers were robotic voices versus recordings. I’m not sure if the person who was leaving the cheer had a choice to either type a message that was read to me or voice record, but the voice recorded messages were way better. I also had a few friends who asked if I received their cheer, which I did not. I’m not sure what happened with that, but it was pretty sad to know that they sent them and I never received them.

Génial !!!

L’idée est la réalisation sont parfaites

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup ! Que l'idée et l'app vous plaisent autant, ça nous fait vraiment plaisir. Bonne prochaine course, avec encore plus de messages de vos proches.

Wonderful Tool

This app helped friends and family cheer me on for my first marathon when they couldn’t be there in person. It’s such a wonderful tool and I love that I can go back and listen to the notes after!

Amazing for my first half marathon

If it wasn’t for this app allowing my loved ones to send me voicenotes, I don’t think I would’ve gotten through my race. What a wonderful concept to allow them to place their cheer at different kilometres. Truthfully had such a great experience. I wish I could save these voice notes to my phone!!!

Response from developer

Thanks Cassie! Your first half marathon, carried to the finish by the voices of the people who love you. Good tip on saving the voice notes to your phone, we've noted it. For now you can play them again in the app whenever you want to relive the race.

Races are easier

My family was away during my half marathon, this made me feel more supported than I’ve ever felt with them there.

My fiancé tracked my location and was able to give me direct feedback where he was and his cheers.

This is a game changer

Response from developer

Thanks Ellie! Your family away and your fiancé still right there in your ear, following you live and cheering from wherever he was. Congrats on the half, and hope your next race comes just as loud.

Amazing experience

Personally, I am a person that is learning how to be more gentle with myself and celebrating my accomplishments. This app gave me so much motivation while I was running. Being able to hear my love ones cheering me on, was amazing.

Response from developer

Thanks Ana! Learning to celebrate yourself is a big deal, and doing it mid run with your loved ones cheering in your ear makes it even sweeter. Keep collecting those wins, we'd love to run with you again.

Tout est payant

Principe sympa mais on ne peut même pas faire une course gratuite pour essayer.

Response from developer

Merci pour votre retour. C'est vrai, CheerMyRun est payant dès la première course : derrière chaque message il y a le suivi GPS en direct, les messages vocaux et leur lecture au bon kilomètre, et tout ça a un vrai coût. Le prix est toujours affiché avant de payer. Nous étudions quand même des options pour qu'il soit plus facile de l'essayer.

Game changer!!

This app made all the difference in my mental state in the marathon i ran last weekend! Having people cheer me on, in my earbud and follow along in my progress was amazing!! More runners need to know about this, I think it would be a great way to encourage them and improve their race day experience!

Response from developer

Congratulations on your marathon! We're so happy your people could be right there in your ear and follow you all the way. Thank you for letting us join you on such a big day. Hope to see you again soon.

Trop cher

Même avis que les autres payer à la course ok mais 15€ pour tester une fois non merci
En plus le nombre d’étoiles est faux car il y a plus de mauvaises notes que de bonnes et pourtant l’appli est noté quasi 5 étoiles …

Response from developer

Merci pour votre retour. Sur le prix, CheerMyRun fonctionne par abonnement pour l'instant, et nous étudions des options pour qu'il soit plus facile de l'essayer. Sur la note, par contre, elle n'est pas fausse : c'est Apple qui la calcule avec toutes les évaluations, et la plupart des coureurs notent sans écrire d'avis. Nous ne pouvons ni la modifier ni choisir les avis affichés.

Loved it

Used it for my first half marathon and it let my family and friends know where I was at and always gave me a boost when I needed it

Response from developer

Thanks Britta! Congratulations on your first half marathon, what a big day! We're so happy your family and friends could be with you and give you that boost right when you needed it. Thank you for letting us join you. Hope to see you again soon.

Best Cheer App

As someone whose family lives out of state but still want to support, this app was perfect. The voice messages came through very clear. I run with music on but then the message came through, the music plays faintly in the background. It just sounded so great. I love this app. And the fact they can “track” you during the race is such an excellent choice as well.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We're so happy your family could be there with you from out of state, and that you could hear every one of their voices so clearly. Thank you for letting us join you. Hope to see you again soon.

Half marathon

I used this app for the half marathon & can truly say it got me through the race! It's so easy to use and hearing those messages was amazing they just played on their own I never touched my phone the whole race! The messages just play automatically at each km I've recommended this app to anyone who's running a race!

Response from developer

Well done on your half marathon! We're so happy you could hear your people all the way with your phone tucked away, and thank you for recommending us to other runners. Thank you for letting us join you on such a big day. Hope to see you again soon.

Wanted to love it but nope

When it works, it’s great. But half of the messages didn’t go through. Different users. All tech savvy enough to press a few buttons, and all had successful and unsuccessful messages. I emailed tech support 3 weeks ago and there was communication but no resolution. Just a request for time to look into it. I asked for a refund. I wouldn’t bother on this app. Spotty message receiving makes it pointless.

Response from developer

Sarah, you gave us a real chance and we're sorry not all of your family's cheers reached you. We did answer each of your emails and added 30 free days while the team looked into it, but we know that is not the same as a fix. Since you subscribed through Apple, only Apple can issue the refund: if CheerMyRun doesn't show at reportaproblem.apple.com, getsupport.apple.com can do it directly.

Great Motivator

Really love this app. The only negative I would say is that you have to manually start your race. Aside from already having race day jitters and making sure my watch is tracking from the start, it’s another thing to start…it would be easier to just have it automatically start at the set time.

Response from developer

Thanks Ally! Good tip, race morning has enough going on already, and we're working on improvements and reminders for that. We're so happy your people kept you going out there. Thank you for letting us join you on such a big day. Hope to see you again soon.

Amazing!

This is an amazing app!!! I loved each personalised audio, made me smile, laugh tear up and just appreciate the people I have in my life 🫶🏾

Response from developer

You have wonderful people in your life, and we're so happy you could hear every one of their voices while you ran. Thank you for letting us join you on such a big day. Hope to see you again soon.

L’idée est génial

Franchement l’idée est top l’application est bien faite mais encore un abonnement à payer pour avoir des encouragements.
Ça devient l’enfer de devoir payer des abonnements à tout va pour pas grand-chose.
Au pire que ce soit payant d’accord mais à la course ou avoir un système de token pour envoyer les liens à l’a rigueur.

Response from developer

Merci ! Contents que l'idée et l'app vous plaisent. Payer à la course ou avec des jetons, c'est une vraie bonne idée et elle revient souvent, nous la regardons avec l'équipe. Pour l'instant CheerMyRun fonctionne uniquement par abonnement, mais on espère vous accompagner bientôt sur une course.

Great app

Great app and definitely recommend it! It helped me massively on my ultra marathon to gear friends and family there supporting me.

Response from developer

Thanks Kazza! An ultra marathon with your friends and family cheering you through every mile, what a day. We're so happy their voices were out there with you. Thank you for letting us join you on such a big day. Hope to see you again soon.

Love it!!

I used it for the Marine Corp Marathon. I was on the fence about whether to do it. I am so thankful I did! Hearing my families voices while I ran was incredible. I was chasing a Boston Qualifying time, and I got it! It was close too, no way that happens without it.

Response from developer

A Boston Qualifying time at Marine Corps, congratulations! We're so happy your family's voices were with you all the way to the finish. Thank you for letting us join you on such a big day. Hope to see you again soon.

I ran the ADT

I loved this app, it definitely helped me when I needed an extra push, being able to hear what my loved ones needed to say to me and knew what I needed during this race was emotionally satisfying I cried every time I heard a voice message hahah, it was easy for them and for me to activate a link and make this happen, I’d definitely use it again!
