### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-03-18, version 2.5.0*

My race ref didn’t get linked to this app and I can’t get help with it from the support staff

### 1/5 — Lack of Customer Support

*2021-11-28*

After registering for a race through the app, I’ve continued to have issues with the race syncing with the app. It doesn’t pop recognize I’ve registered for the race even though I’ve ensured the emails match. I’ve contacted customer support on multiple occasions with not so much as a response or acknowledgement of receipt. Nothing is more frustrating that being ignored.

### 1/5 — Terrible user interface

*2021-09-30*

Lost data using resume feature. Should be able to save and exit and start a new race when tracking multiple races. Instead of saving data it restarted and I had to manually enter. Also upon sign in it should drop you to a landing page with your races instead of a search page.

### 1/5 — This app is useless

*2021-04-17, version 2.2.1*

Conveniently this app tracked all 14.2 miles of my first race, then stopped tracking, and didn’t upload or save the data. So...what purpose does the app serve?

### 1/5 — Glitched and added miles, then completely cut out and my race was lost.

*2021-04-10*

I used this app to complete the virtual Bataan Memorial Death March, which is 26.2 miles and it took us between 9 and 10 hours to complete. First the app glitched during the event and added miles to my and my husbands tracking. Later his app completely shut off and his race info was lost — I told him don’t worry I still have mine but lo and behold when I got to the end of our event I found that mine had shut off as well. Luckily we were also using a Garmin and an Apple Watch. I will never rely on this app!

**Developer response:** Hi Melissa. First of all, congrats for finishing this race! It seems that your phones were running very low on battery. In those circumstances the phone may decide to stop running some apps in the background. Anyways how can we assit you?

### 2/5 — Distance Tracker not accurate

*2020-09-05*

I walk/run on a trail that has permanent markers every 1/4 mile. I have tested those markers against 2 other tracking devices, and they’re all VERY close to each other. When I tried to do my 5K today using your app, it did not register 3.1 miles until I had walked/ran 4.15 miles.

### 1/5 — Functionality

*2020-09-01*

Though I’m registered for my race, the app does not recognize me. Each time I enter the app I have to choose between the “First time/used it before.” Then I have to search my race. Then I get the blue register button though I’m registered and paid. Then I click Tracker and am asked each time to select between 5K/20mi. Finally I can click Use App. I then Start Race and though the app measures time, it does not measure distance. At the end, there is no way to save your race other than pausing, which doesn’t save it to your group. What am I doing wrong.

### 2/5 — Tracking not working

*2020-07-06*

Installed app to participate in 5k race.  Left setting for tracking at default imperial.  Started the race and realized that the app wasn’t tracking the race properly. Changed to metric during race but it wa too late.  I went 5 miles before the app showed the race completed. I really don’t care about my race time but if it is important to you make sure you set the tracking correctly before the race.

### 1/5 — Spectator

*2025-09-06*

Hours of research and no clear directions on how to track someone. If it works, I could never figure it out. Terrible set up.

### 1/5 — App isn’t working

*2025-08-19*

I registered virtually for a race and paid. This is the app that this event is using and it’s not showing under my registered events. Initially it was. Now it’s not. I tried to message the It’s Your Race Team and the in app messaging system will not allow me to send the message. My phone and app are all up to date. There are no other issues except for this app and its makers and developers.

### 1/5 — Does not keep login or find all races

*2025-08-14*

Does not keep login. Have to log in almost every time. Would use FaceID but it says I need to login with email even though FaceID is enabled. Search function does not always find races, even though ones I am already registered for.

### 1/5 — Just will hang when trying to login

*2025-02-16, version 3.0.0*

Cannot depend on it. Have to delete and reinstall each time I try to login.

Reliability is nonexistent. Support is nonexistent.

### 1/5 — Lack of memory

*2024-12-28, version 3.0.0*

It failed to keep my results from my race

### 1/5 — Up load

*2024-03-22*

This app is not user friendly and information will not load accurately.

### 1/5 — Test notifications popups

*2024-02-28, version 2.5.0*

Received multiple push test notifications

### 1/5 — Frustrating and Inaccurate

*2023-08-01*

The app lost my information on the day of my race and listed me as not registered for the race, even though it had confirmed my registration for the event two days prior. Since the registration period had closed, I was not able to use the app to track my race at all. It was worthless.

### 1/5 — Won’t link to race I paid/donated to when I registered

*2023-04-10*

Donated to specific race, used same email address for the IYR app and the race donation/fundraiser account.  No reply from customer service.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-03-20, version 2.5.0*

Complete waste of money and time

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-10-04*

At last a user friendly and easy to use app that tracks accurately my progress! Love it

### 5/5 — Very user friendly

*2021-04-22*

Used this app for our teams virtual race last year and it was very easy to use and navigate.

### 5/5 — Great app for virtual races!

*2021-04-20, version 2.2.1*

I wasn’t sure about signing up for a virtual race, but this app helped to make it feel like a “real, in-person event.” I loved the tracking feature and the ability to send my results in instantly. Great app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-04-13*

New to this app, but not pace trackers. I found the app to be user friendly and reliable unlike many apps out there.  For event administration, it was extremely helpful and allows for automatic reporting of your results which I thought was pretty cool. One less thing to deal with!

### 5/5 — Great app for all athletes

*2020-12-16*

This app will be a game changer in the running industry! It interfaces with the ItsYourRace platform for registration and results, and it also supports training using GPS.  Other features available for training, challenges, live racing and virtual racing. It’s also great for cycling, walking, and other fitness areas. I encourage everyone to download this app and start using it.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2020-12-13*

Just downloaded this new version! It is so fast, clean and easy to use! The training section is incredible! Love it!

### 5/5 — Game Changer For Virtual Running Results

*2020-04-13*

The IYR Virtual app is an industry game changer. All in one app that you can register, GPS track, and automatically upload results! No more dealing with multiple apps or devices to track a run then having to upload, email, or send a pic to a race director or website. This app is full integrated and automatically uploads your race results to your events results page.  Save your time and money and download this free app today, find an event, and go RUN!

### 3/5 — App crashed didn’t record my race

*2021-05-09*

The app crashed and logged out, ended up didn’t record my race.....nothing is in the history.

### 2/5 — How many times do I have to sign in?

*2025-10-18*

2 weeks ago we tracked another nephews progress during a race.  The app he used alerted me every mile he accomplished.  I can’t even get past the awaiting results screen on this app and the race started 57 minutes ago!

### 2/5 — Would be great if it would stop crashing

*2025-01-24*

Originally the app worked great, but then it started crashing randomly. Now it won’t even let me log in, it will just load until it crashes-and it won’t let me make a new account either. I’ve even tried uninstalling it and redownloading it. Now my race is tomorrow and I will have to do without the app. I will probably end up deleting it. It was really nice when it actually worked.
