That alone is awesome. However, the pass expires after a while and needs to be re-added, so be careful you’re not caught out! Otherwise a perfect app. ### 3/5 — Used to love it *2025-11-25, version 2.4.0* So having an iPhone X makes me prehistoric…IOS 18 and above for the app 😥 ### 3/5 — Day offset *2025-11-09, version 3.2.0* The app reports past events one day earlier than correct date ### 2/5 — Update required *2025-11-08, version 2.4.0* I go to use the app & it tells me I need an update I go to update & it takes me to the App Store & so the loop goes round. Please fix. 😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♂️ ### 3/5 — Did love this app *2025-11-08, version 3.0.0* Doesn’t seem to work at the moment? ### 3/5 — App frozen *2025-11-08, version 3.0.0* The app in general is great. But since its update, keeps freezing. Have uninstalled it and reinstalled it many times. But same problem. ### 5/5 — Can’t report issue with latest update *2025-11-03, version 3.0.0* Love this app. It has challenges, check friends results, my stats, everything I need and more. I want to report that today’s update has left the app frozen and not responding to any clicks. I cannot navigate to any info that is usually available. Please help. I don’t want to loose this amazing app. Thank you ### 5/5 — Parkrunner *2025-10-22, version 2.4.0* Excellent app, really great at what it does. However, my volunteer credits have not synced correctly and are one out? Can anything be done? ### 3/5 — Privacy concern *2025-09-30, version 2.4.0* Requires you to link your google account or apple account for data scraping - deleted it immediately ### 2/5 — Up date *2025-09-20, version 2.4.0* The update of timings is very slow ### 2/5 — Good ideas but questionable implementation *2025-09-19, version 2.4.0* Everything is there to help you plan and see your previous parkrun efforts, however, it is done in an incredibly noisy, messy and unintuitive way. In other apps, I have all the things I want, front and centre and everything else is easy to find; with this one I have to dig through pages screaming with emojis, needless popups and nag screens with no real relevance to the screen that it is on (like why do I need to find a ‘friend’ to access a home page?) ### 2/5 — Poor *2025-09-13, version 2.4.0* Very slow to update ### 5/5 — Very cool *2025-08-23, version 2.4.0* Easy to use, great way to see and record my park runs. It makes the experience more enjoyable and I feel part of a community ### 5/5 — parkrunner App *2025-08-03, version 2.4.0* Excellent attractive graphics, easy to use and very good gps parkrun Locations map . Russ Johnson ### 4/5 — Gr8itude 🌻 *2025-08-02, version 2.4.0* Nothing but appreciation for this app & the information obtained, updated quickly after results received each Saturday 💛 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Responsive *2026-07-18, version 3.6.1* Very poor ### 1/5 — Slow updating results! *2026-07-11, version 3.5.4* Today’s results not showing despite seeing others showing (following), received email from Parkrun but here, nothing! App is getting worse - now not able to find profile! ### 1/5 — Cannot verify profile *2025-12-13, version 3.3.0* App doesn’t work, cannot verify profile as button does nothing ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-08-11, version 2.4.0* Won’t let me find my profile and crashes everytime search my name ### 1/5 — Login with Email? *2025-05-26, version 2.4.0* What happened with the Login now? Why I have to login to my emails to login to your app? It used to be just parkrun login. This does not make any sense at all. Love the app, hate the login now ### 1/5 — Form over function *2024-12-25, version 2.3.0* Looks very pretty, but takes far longer than other apps to bring in recent results - still isn’t showing today’s results even 12 hours after the event ### 1/5 — Would not let me register *2024-10-05* Useless ### 1/5 — No longer works on an iPhone 7 *2024-05-10, version 2.0.1* The latest update will not run on an iPhone 7 as the latest IOS for the 7 is 15.8.2 and the new app needs IOS 16 so I can no longer use Parkrunner application. ### 1/5 — Was good but *2024-05-05, version 1.6.0* Was a good app but some Parkruns don’t get added. Now I’ve been asked to update but my IPhone doesn’t have the required software. Delete and find another app that works. ### 1/5 — I’d love to try this app *2023-07-15, version 1.6.0* But am disappointed that the only option to logon is via Apple, which isn’t something I want to do. Why the need to logon anyway? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lost account *2026-07-13, version 3.6.0* *** Update: my issue is now resolved and rating changed to 5* Unable to login after the numerous updates. Sad as have to now re-register so have lost sight of all my challenges etc… ### 5/5 — Loved it until they broke it … and then they fixed it really quickly *2026-07-12, version 3.6.0* Great app, useful to see all the different park runs, challenges, and follow friends. What’s more, developers jump on problems quickly and also feedback once fixed. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2026-07-03, version 3.5.2* Great work to the developers, ui/ux, people and keep going with the gamification. Thanks for a great, intuitive Free app! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Spectator *2026-05-24, version 3.5.1* Enjoy the app for results on a Saturday morning, would be nice to see individuals PB when looking at their results 😊😊👍 ### 5/5 — Keeps requiring update *2026-02-14, version 3.4.3* I’ve been required to update the version pretty much daily for the past week. Why? ### 5/5 — Great app for tracking park runs *2026-01-25, version 3.3.0* Great app for tracking park runs with challenges for motivation, also track friends results. Easier on your phone than the park run website. Please add England, Wales etc to the flag challenge not just UK ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-12-31, version 3.3.0* Pretty flawless app. Only wish the information about each location included special events. ### 5/5 — Marcus *2025-12-21, version 3.3.0* The app work better that the original parkrun app ### 5/5 — Rating *2025-11-15, version 3.2.2* Is amazing for finding and doing runs 5 stars ### 5/5 — Better User Experience *2025-11-15, version 3.2.2* I’ve been a member for year but only came back to Parkruns this year. The overall user experience from the app is amazing, all the little extras (like tracking the challenges etc). Also seeing friends times has pushed me harder to run faster. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
