It was so nice feeling like I was with him, cheering him on. It only got stuck once toward the end (didn’t track the last mile and a half) but as soon as he crossed it caught up. I wish there was a live cam of the finish line though. ### 5/5 — Like a virtual drone. *2025-10-19, version 8.2.4* I was able to follow from the start. I got a notification when she started and every time she crossed a sensor. It gave predictions and also had a map showing where she was along the race course. I wish all races had this for us spectators. ### 5/5 — Great update to the FreePress Marathon app! *2024-10-20, version 8.1.4* The app worked very well.
