Annoying, considering it only shows a few at a time, so you're constantly pulling up.... BUT..My BIGGEST complaint. You click on and event to view the details - when you return back to the list of events, it is RESET. That means you have to "pull up" a thousand more times (again) to return to where you were. Makes the app unusable. Fix that and it will be worth 5 stars Design and concept are nice ### 2/5 — Poor interface, good data stream *2014-05-27, version 1.2* This app brings up most of the upcoming events in your local. One downside of the app however is the interface. If you're using it via an iPad you get a diddy 33% of the screen display structured for a smart phone. You also get a tiny keyboard on screen which makes it difficult to eg: write a race review. You can't copy and paste from another editor either, ( though strangely you can for the heading field). Needs quite a lot of improvement ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t Bother *2020-03-08, version 3.1* Unable to search, unable to change locations. This app is broken and doesn’t function properly. It should be removed from the App Store. ### 1/5 — Nothing works *2019-10-20, version 3.1* Super frustrating... nothing opens. It won’t even find my location. ### 1/5 — Never seems to work *2019-03-09, version 3.1* I’ve downloaded this twice now and both times extreme frustration had me delete the app in short order. ### 1/5 — Not updated *2019-01-03, version 3.1* Why is it showing me nothing for 2019 and only races long done in 2018 ### 1/5 — 👎🏻 *2017-12-09, version 3.1* When you click on upcoming races it is never updated! The majority of the races are already long over. ### 1/5 — Close to useless *2015-11-30, version 3.1* Deeply frustrating experience. Cannot find events, when it does they aren't in the area you're looking for. ### 1/5 — Would be great if it was user friendly *2015-10-20, version 3.1* This app is not user friendly. It's too bad because it would be a great resource! ### 1/5 — App is blank when launched!! *2014-04-06, version 1.0* Not impressed. ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2014-04-05, version 1.0* Downloaded the App on both iPhone and iPad and doesn't work on either device. Not impressed with the launch of this App ### 1/5 — Can't launch the app *2014-04-03, version 1.0* Hello, I ve downloaded your app however when I try to open it, everything is blank and I can't use it. Is that normal? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very useful if you're a runner *2014-04-18, version 1.1* I finally started training again and stumbled across this app. It makes it easy to find marathons all over Canada. Great touch allowing users to rate and review the races. It's like trip advisor for marathons. Cool idea. ### 5/5 — Great *2014-04-07, version 1.0* Super useful. ### 5/5 — Mr *2014-04-03, version 1.0* Excellent and useful app!!! Very thorough when looking for a running race in Canada. ### 5/5 — like the app *2014-04-03, version 1.0* cool new app. like reviewing feature and gps ### 5/5 — Very useful! *2014-04-03, version 1.0* Great, easy to use app! Very useful for picking your next event. And it's great to have other people's reviews to events I am thinking about doing. ### 3/5 — Canadian! *2015-10-25* Thought it would offer both USA and Canada but NOOO!! Seems to have a good interface. Maybe they will add US eventually. ### 3/5 — Good app *2014-07-04, version 1.2* Good app to search for local and national races. The reviews from runners are very useful when deciding on whether to run the race. ### 2/5 — Good potential, bad app *2016-05-30, version 3.1* I got the paper guide and it really good. The app, meh.... The paper guide provide more information therefore more useful, one of the few instance where I prefer paper over digital. Even just an interactive PDF would be mile ahead of the app... ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2015-01-17, version 2.0.2* Back button when searching through races is a must. Also when searching for upcoming I was given races last year. Not helpful ### 2/5 — Average app *2014-10-16, version 1.2* Good idea for an app, bad execution. Doesnt include any ultra races/relays --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
