It still says I have 26 voice notes. But it skipped some on my runs and they are missing. Customer service was helpful, retrieved the msgs for me to hear after the run, but didn't get them on the run. ### 4/5 — Great Idea *2026-05-05, version 2.0.18* Finding out 9.99 to be able to hear them a second time/missed ones or keep them forever. Per race was expensive. A subscription would be easier for those who run many races and hopefully at affordable cost. But I loved hearing family and friends during race ### 5/5 — First time Marathoner 🫶🏼 *2026-05-04* I loved having Rally throughout my OC Marathon run yesterday! It was my first one and having messages of encouragement from my family and friends was exactly what I needed at each mile! I had some issues with my family recording from out of the country, but Rally customer service was super quick in responding, addressing, and resolving the issue. I highly recommend this app! ### 5/5 — Most phenomenal customer service *2026-05-04* I haven’t had the chance to use this during a race yet, but my experience so far has been incredibly positive. I originally set it up about a month ago as a surprise for my son, who was scheduled to run his first marathon on May 3. When I reached out to customer support with questions about setting it up as a surprise, they were quick to respond, helpful, and reassured me they could transfer the race messages to his account before race day. (With a recent update, you can now transfer races directly within the app, which makes it incredibly easy to set up a race as a surprise and then instantly transfer it to the runner.) Unfortunately, he ended up being hospitalized during the race and wasn’t able to run. I contacted customer support again to ask if the messages could be transferred to a future race instead. Once again, they responded promptly and were more than willing to help, letting me know they’ll transfer everything as soon as he signs up for a new race. Even though we haven’t been able to use it yet, the level of support and care they’ve shown has been outstanding. I love the concept of this app and the idea of sending encouraging messages during a race. Based on my experience so far, I can’t say enough good things about both the app and the people behind it. ### 2/5 — Great but irritating *2026-05-03* Loved hearing my messages on race day. Bit annoyed that it was not mentioned anywhere that I would have to pay for the privilege of listening to them again until I tried to do just that! 9.99 is extortionate! I hope that is for unlimited access to future races too ### 5/5 — The best *2026-05-02, version 2.0.18* I love this concept ### 5/5 — Best idea ever *2026-04-25, version 2.0.17* I found this on instagram from another runner and I absolutely love it ### 5/5 — Marathon *2026-04-19* Brilliant app got me through a marathon PB. I didn’t even put my music on until mile 24. I did worry about draining my battery but it was absolutely fine. Genius app Thank you 😊 ### 4/5 — Great, with 1 flaw *2026-04-17, version 2.0.15* Used this for 2 big races now and I love it! But I really wish there was an option to let people record for every km instead of every mile. The number of people who told me they’d wanted to record a message for me on my marathon but there were no spots left by the time they went to record 😭 Would love to see them add an option for every km. ### 5/5 — Best customer support *2026-04-13* Was having a little trouble with the payment to download my messages but with a quick email to their support team they were able to help me right away!! They were so quick and efficient with the support and I’m so grateful for the help this is such an amazing service if you have a big race coming up!!! **Developer response:** Hi Celina! Apple requires in app purchases. They actually forbid us from linking outside of the platform so we’re just following the rules ### 5/5 — THIS APP IS A MUST! *2026-04-05, version 2.0.8* Use this app today for my 10miler and is definitely worth it!! Heard friends and family messages. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Warning - You can listen during the race, £10 PER race. *2026-05-20* The app should tell you this upfront so you know what you’re getting into. I had an issue where mine weren’t playing and when I tried to listen to them back it wouldn’t let me instead it tried charging me £10. ### 1/5 — RIP off! *2026-05-17* Not sure about this! as I only got to listen to 1 voice note - in order to hear the rest I need to pay £10! Was looking forward to hearing my supporters! Disappointed ### 1/5 — Not all voice messages are there *2026-05-17, version 2.0.19* I had 13 out of 13 voice messages from friends and family and only 5 got saved and played. Not worth the 10 dollars. Refund is needed. Not worth the purchase 😡 ### 1/5 — Didn’t work on all miles *2026-05-17, version 2.0.19* Didn’t work on all miles ### 1/5 — Useless app *2026-05-17* Didn’t even work. ### 1/5 — not the best *2026-05-09, version 2.0.18* great idea! however, when it comes to race day it is not so great. I experienced glitches where the voice memos did not play properly then at the end of my race I had to pay $10 to actually hear them for the first time. Feels like a scam. ### 1/5 — You had one job *2026-04-26* You must know how busy London is going to be. To have the app totally crash and not access any voice notes was heartbreaking. Now it’s telling me I can’t play them until I’ve completed a marathon again. **Developer response:** Shoot us an email hellorunwithrally and we’ll get this resolved for you! ### 1/5 — Good idea but terrible app *2026-04-19* Did all the voice notes and none played. No instructions or guide. Then after told to pay £10 to hear them…. Scam ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-04-02* Make you pay to keep the voicenotes !! ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2026-03-24, version 2.0.6* They wouldn’t play during my race and when I was finished and tried to figure it out, it wanted $10 to replay the messages. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect App *2026-08-10* Amazing customer service, prompt responses and easy to navigate app ### 5/5 — LIFE SAVING *2026-07-19* Honestly hearing from my fam and friends during my run made me smile the whole way through. Nothing better ### 5/5 — Do it *2026-07-01* Both customer service and app performance are top notch. Love this app. ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-06-01, version 2.0.21* This is so helpful I your doing your first marathon.🙌 ### 5/5 — Brilliant idea *2026-05-31* I have just completed an ultra 50k 31 miles so this was just so amazing to keep me Going hearing all messages from loved ones, something I will cherish ### 5/5 — AMAZING customer service! *2026-05-30, version 2.0.21* Honestly the best customer service ever! I messaged them on instagram taking a chance to try and request my race to be added to the app. Not only did they message me back to tell me they’d pass along the message, they even wrote me to tell me when it was added. Whoever answered was sure friendly and I couldn’t be more thankful! ### 5/5 — So Motivating!! *2026-05-25, version 2.0.20* I sent my friends and family this link and had 26 messages of support through my marathon. I laughed. I cried. And I had to spend the $13 after to save the messages. Free to use btw, only a charge to relisten or save afterwards. Brilliant app, thanks for this. ### 5/5 — Made a big difference on my run!! *2026-05-18, version 2.0.20* I loooooved this. Used it for my first half marathon and it was so nice. You do have to pay if you want to keep the recordings tho ### 5/5 — Perfect addition *2026-05-18, version 2.0.20* If you’re running a race of any kind this is worth it!! It made every mile that much better ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-08* Amazing app and amazing owner who added my race so quickly! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
