If you pay $40-50 to see live video, extended video or GPS tracking, forget it. So you end up logging on online.. Come on, at $40-50 per person and 100’s of people paying that, get a decent app! ### 2/5 — Love the Iditarod Hate this app *2023-03-09, version 1.6* The Iditarod needs an amazing and engaging app! The Race needs a new app developer. There is no way to log into your Insider account and the Live Feed has never once worked for me. Plus wouldn’t it be great to track the GPS thru the app? Yes I think so! I end up just using the Iditarod website all the time. ### 1/5 — Insider cannot be accessed *2021-03-07, version 1.6* Using iPhone 12 and insider content cannot be accessed through the app ### 1/5 — Just go to web page *2020-03-15, version 1.4.1* This app is worthless. Nothing special. It does not even have a map. I cannot find why sleds are OUT unless I read the news. It will send you to the web page. It is like an extra step. Not worth my time ### 1/5 — Very poor *2020-03-08, version 1.4.1* Unable to get anything and race has officially begun. What’s up with this? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2019-03-04, version 1.4.0* Over 15 mushers already at 1st checkpoint and this app shows nothing. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2018-11-09, version 1.4.0* Boooooo. Used to work fine! Last update ..... nothing ### 1/5 — Can’t get Insider on app *2018-03-07, version 1.4.0* I downloaded the app to follow during work and when not around my computer. Since I can’t log into the Insider through the app, I have been logging on through Safari on my phone. Unless they fix this issue, there is little point to downloading the app. ### 1/5 — What a let down *2018-03-05, version 1.4.0* I am a member of the insider and you can’t see anything live at the checkpoints with this app. Pretty disappointed. ### 1/5 — Was Good. Horrible Now *2018-03-05, version 1.4.0* Very basic, rudimentary info on the Iditarod, and half of that doesn’t work right. I can’t believe they haven’t fixed this app after giving it a lobotomy last year. Since they didn’t pay attention to the poor reviews last year, I doubt my review will stir them to action, but I’ll try. The only thing in this app worth anything is the Standings. And even that’s broken. It gives me what place the mushers are in and the date they left/arrived at a checkpoint, but the time, and any other info if there is any, is cut off. Iditarod Live just gives me a pretty picture of some snow. I can see some News, but the text is cut off on the right, like the standings screen. Makes it a bit hard to understand, trying to figure out what the missing words are. Doesn’t support landscape view or sizing. I guess the videos work. If you like 10 second videos. Which every one I’ve looked at is. I don’t. I also prefer sound. Which is missing on all of them. It does have brief bios of all the mushers, but again the text is cut off on the right, as on all the other screens. And if I switch to another app and come back, it doesn’t return me to where I was, but takes me back to the home page. I have been an Iditarod Ultimate Insider for several years. There’s no log in for us, and I get nothing extra for my money. No way to follow mushers or get alerts. I may keep this POS on my phone to get current (I hope) standings, but suspect I’ll delete it and just go to the website for info. That’s got tons more info on it and at least it works. Don’t know why they bother keeping this around as is. ### 2/5 — No access to Insider *2018-03-04, version 1.4.0* Totally frustrating that we cannot access Iditarod Insider material with iPhone 7! Was so convenient before... ### 1/5 — Was bad; now worse *2017-03-13, version 1.4.0* This has always been a very poorly executed app, but now the functionality is broken, and this is happening at the time the race is running. The Insider feature is missing in action, so I can't enjoy the videos like I used to. I agree with another reviewer that they need to find a professional app developer to clean this all up. ### 1/5 — Just use the website *2017-03-11, version 1.4.0* This is a disappointing app. There is no access to the insider options and it doesn't fit on my 6+ screen well. The videos are not up to date. I was hoping to be able to use the app with my insider log-in when I was not wi-fi connected. ### 1/5 — Iditarod *2017-03-09, version 1.4.0* This app is useless for insiders. No GPS or live videos. Not fair to insiders who paid for these features. ### 1/5 — Iditarod *2017-03-08, version 1.4.0* App not letting me log in? ### 1/5 — App is useless now *2017-03-08, version 1.4.0* Last year, I was able to use the app to easily access Insider only information. Now, I can't. The only thing the app is good for is checking the current rankings. Couldn't utilize the LIVE feature during the ceremonial or restart broadcasts. Why did you "fix" something that didn't need fixed? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Standings are useless *2026-03-11, version 2.0* Standings are useless, without a column for 24, 8 and 8 you can’t tell what position they are in. Someone wrote an app that doesn’t know the race! ### 1/5 — Don’t get it *2026-03-07, version 2.0* This app has never worked for me ### 1/5 — Again? *2026-03-06, version 2.0* Not even covering Ceremonial Start. ### 1/5 — Wish the app connected to my Insider account. *2024-03-01, version 2.0* I find the app rarely used by me because get more info with my Insider subscription on the website. ### 1/5 — 2023 *2023-03-06, version 1.6* What is wrong with this App? I’ve been a member forever and unable to watch updated videos, standings, etc. on this App. ### 1/5 — iPad version *2023-03-04, version 1.6* Frustrating to use on an ipad because the orientation forces you to turn your ipad vertically. I use my ipad with a keyboard and thus use it horizontally. This app won’t allow that and makes it totally unusable for me. ### 1/5 — NO INSIDER *2022-03-08, version 1.6* No GPS, what do I tell the children when they ask about Dallas, sorry Catherine, there is no Santa, so sad ### 1/5 — Pointless *2022-03-07, version 1.6* If your an insider you can gain access via safari. I stream it from iPad to Apple TV. This app both on Apple TV and iPad only has the free stuff. No live. No up to date gps. Shame. ### 1/5 — Insider *2022-03-07, version 1.6* I have watched this race every year, now I have an iPhone you can’t get the insider on the app., but I can get it on my old Samsung phone. Not a very happy follower. You need to fix this problem, really very frustrating ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-03-13, version 1.6* Better to go to Iditarod.com and click on insider for up to date information. The information here is AMWAYS very dated ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works Great on my iPhone *2020-03-12, version 1.4.1* Excellent app. And it’s FREE! ### 5/5 — Great Free App to follow the Iditarod *2020-03-09, version 1.4.1* This is a great free app that allows fans to follow the Iditarod in Alaska. You will get race news, video and team profiles. For even more become an Iditarod Insider. ### 5/5 — Yay *2018-03-02, version 1.4.0* Great app! The race starts tomorrow, can’t wait to watch it LIVE!!! 🤗🤗 ### 5/5 — Cool😐 *2015-03-12, version 1.2* 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐 ### 5/5 — Great app to follow the race *2014-03-15, version 1.0* The app works very well. Had a great time following the race. ### 5/5 — NICE *2014-03-05, version 1.0* very cool im beting money on pete kaiser ### 5/5 — Follow the race - mobile! *2014-03-04, version 1.0* So good to be able to follow the race from a mobile device! All the info you need to "watch" "The Last Great Race!" ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2014-03-03, version 1.0* Love it. I'd pay for it! Was a paid Insider last year, but I just don't have time to view all that video and can't view video at work. I want standings and news, and this app gets it done. Write a paid version that lets me set up notifications for favorite mushers and I'd be willing to pay for this! ### 5/5 — Great idea, great app! *2014-03-02, version 1.0* Awesome, quick way to check in on the race, see how my favorite mushers are doing. The race is just starting off today, but I’m so glad they have an app for this now. Way easier than trying to read the Alaska Daily News on my iPhone. Can’t wait to use this for the upcoming weeks! ### 5/5 — Glad to see this app *2014-03-01, version 1.0* Hopefully this takes off with more updates but it's get to see this app happing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
