Also I couldn’t see where to log out, so I had to delete the app to start again ### 3/5 — Handy *2026-08-16, version 4.8.1* Very useful but would be cool if I could track more than one kid from the same app ### 4/5 — Missing challenges *2026-07-30, version 4.8.1* Would like to access the challenges created by other users, but new accounts are not available 😟 ### 5/5 — Newbie *2026-07-25, version 4.8* Excellent event. Very well run (excuse the pun!) love the app. ### 5/5 — First ever run *2026-07-25, version 4.8* Absolutely loved it! Organised so well and Joe Wicks was there! ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-07-24, version 4.8* Helpful ### 5/5 — parkrun official app *2026-07-20, version 4.8* Great app. Easy to navigate, all the good info right there on the homepage. And it’s parkrun, what’s not to love! ### 5/5 — First park run *2026-07-18, version 4.8* Thankyou I really enjoyed it and the marshal and tail walking with me I appreciated it ### 3/5 — Number of finishes on MacBook app version incorrect *2026-07-17, version 4.8* I am getting more engaged wth PR over last few months. Love the iPhone app. keeps up to date. stats correct. However, then MacBook app is reporting wrong stats. For example, fewer runs than I’ve done. Have uninstalled, and reinstalled but still the same. Disappointing. ### 5/5 — Awesome event *2026-07-17, version 4.8* Amazing volunteers, great vibe. Helping me as a new runner to show up. ### 4/5 — Share Planner *2026-07-16, version 4.8* The app is absolutely fantastic. However I can not share my planner? ### 5/5 — Simply the best *2026-07-11, version 4.7.1* Well done Park Run. Excellent and easy to use. The friend’s section is so useful. Thank you ### 5/5 — Ulverston Ford Park *2026-07-11, version 4.7.1* 1st time. Excellent organisation and a quick challenging run. Thank you to all the organisers - without you it doesn’t happen. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Fun *2026-07-11, version 4.7.1* The parkrun atmosphere is so welcoming and supportive of all runners irrespective of run times. This is a wonderful idea and should be shared. Thanks!!! ### 3/5 — 6/10 does its job *2026-07-11, version 4.7.1* Gets the job done nothing special. Barcode works offline wich is handy no adds or forcing for payments ### 5/5 — Parkrun is great fun and this App makes doing them and finding them even easier *2026-07-10, version 4.7.1* Parkrun is amazing, everyone is welcome, if you can do it in 15 minutes or 50 minutes all ages and abilities are catered for. This APP simplifies finding park runs and tracks your achievements has your barcode, there is even an Apple Watch app associated with this that you can use for your barcode scan. ### 2/5 — BUG-Issue adding challenges *2026-07-04, version 4.7.1* From within the app I want to add the Londone challenge that I searched and found. It asks me to log in (why? I am logged in) but then says my email or password are incorrect (they’re not) Tried to reset anyway and no email received (have checked junk.) Has been like this for months. ### 5/5 — FUN!!!!!! *2026-07-04, version 4.7.1* Simple to use, the people you meet are so supportive and encouraging. Great app and better people ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-07-04, version 4.7.1* AMAZING ### 5/5 — Mr *2026-07-04, version 4.7.1* Great community to be in. I love the support and the team work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No security *2026-07-03, version 4.7.1* You can literally login to anyone’s account on here (by accident might I add) there is no security on this app ### 1/5 — Does this still work? *2026-06-27, version 4.7.1* My app hadn’t updated for over a year. Eventually I logged out in an attempt to update it but now I cannot log back in I just get the message “something is not quite right try again later “ ### 1/5 — Poor *2026-06-21, version 4.7* Since the rebrand, the app is terrible. You constantly get ‘something isn’t quite right’ when you try to use it, race details don’t update for a several days in some cases. ### 1/5 — Does this still work? *2026-06-20, version 4.7* My app hadn’t updated for over a year. Eventually I logged out in an attempt to update it but now I cannot log back in I just get the message “something is not quite right try again later “ ### 1/5 — New park run app *2026-06-15, version 4.7* Rubbish .. let’s go back to the previous one ### 1/5 — Security concern *2026-06-06, version 4.6.2* Being able to enter any parkrun number and view that persons details without entering a password is unacceptable. Needs to be fixed urgently. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t even register *2026-05-31, version 4.6.1* I tried several times to setup this app and I completed the “are you human” test successfully over 15 times! It just kept making me redo it… Rubbish ### 1/5 — Terrible headings in latest update *2026-05-31, version 4.6.1* The new challenge headings are terrible. They are overly large. At minimum they should be dynamic based on a users display settings and size. How did this pass accessibility before it was released? ### 1/5 — Huge privacy flaw in App *2026-05-20, version 4.5* I downloaded this app and when asked to sign in with my Parkrun id, being lazy, I tried a guess at my reg number and found I was logged into someone else’s stats under their name and with the ability to print their barcode and view all their stats. I couldn’t log out to log in with my correct number so had to delete the app. Just for interest I tried another random number with the same result. Presumably a complete stranger can access my stats view my movements and even use my barcode for digital vandalism if they wanted? Don’t think I’ll keep this one ### 1/5 — Insecure *2026-05-19, version 4.5* I’ve just downloaded the App from the link in the email notifying us that they will no longer text. When I opened the App, and it asked for my ID to log in, I got a suggested login from an email. When I used it I was given access to someone else’s profile. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Everything you need to know *2026-08-17, version 4.8.1* It just works ### 5/5 — Unreal app *2026-08-15, version 4.8.1* If you’re into parkrun this is a must. Gives so much more than the web ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-09, version 4.8.1* Love the app, it does everything I need it to, great information ### 5/5 — Feel Good Factor *2026-08-09, version 4.8.1* Irrespective of where I’ve run I always have encountered a friendly supportive and non-competitive environment. As a former “ serious” runner I love being able to still participate and still get a sense of achievement at the finish and a very positive mental vibe too. Respect to all concerned! ### 5/5 — This trail run is awesome! *2026-08-01, version 4.8.1* Thoroughly enjoying the whole atmosphere! Also wonderful volunteering makes it all possible🥰 ### 5/5 — Parkrun *2026-07-29, version 4.8.1* Fun to do and everyone is so supportive ### 5/5 — A great time! *2026-07-25, version 4.8* A very friendly and incredibly popular event. Thank you to everyone for all the effort to put this together. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-07-25, version 4.8* What a fantastic app! Comprehensively shows where all parkruns are in the country along with details. Fun challenges to keep you going. Brilliant stats too! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-07-25, version 4.8* Love this app. Been doing PR for a few years now and it’s made it even more interesting. The challenges, the stats. The app is filled with things that will make you want to better your scores, times, attendances, all sorts. Get it. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-25, version 4.8* Being able to see categories and performances every after park run so encouraging. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
