### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-05-05, version 1.0.116*

I tried this app years ago and it seems like all the money they have earned they just spend on advertising and certainly not improving their app. The issues I had with it before are all still here. I won’t waste time or money with this again.

### 4/5 — My take on Run Across America App

*2025-11-21, version 1.0.115*

Easy to use, easy to connect to Strava. Love the import multiple activities functionality and it’s for a great cause.

### 5/5 — Just do it!

*2025-10-05, version 1.0.112*

This is an effective app for staying motivating and participating solo (or in groups/teams) in daily physical activities

### 5/5 — Using this app since their inception!

*2025-06-16*

I LOVE this app! Each season, there are challenges to complete- including running, walking, swimming, biking, dog walking, etc. It does not matter how fast you are, the app set-up strives to keep you moving. This program has kept me active for many years now!!

### 4/5 — Motivation

*2024-07-04, version 1.0.95*

This program keeps me motivated to walk every day at least 1km but almost always farther. Sometimes much farther.

### 5/5 — I love run across America

*2024-03-26, version 1.0.88*

This is the best workout app I’ve ever used and it shows other people to and it help me keep track of my workouts and you can make teams and join other teams but you got to be invited -Ariana walker

### 3/5 — Not the best, not the worst

*2023-10-27, version 1.0.86*

I used this app & virtual run program for two seasons now - Spring and Fall. The apps fairly easy to use. I appreciate the option to include other physical activities like strength training into the count. 
I give an average review because 2x I’ve had mishaps with my registration. First time they sent me the wrong item, and second time I didn’t receive my medal.

### 4/5 — Great fun, one small critique

*2023-10-13*

First, let me preface this with the fact that this is only my second virtual race- perhaps this is normal and I should just get used to it. Plus I would like to say I am enjoying how it's motivating me to get out there, and that you have a walking option. I have only one criticism. I signed up for the Fall Frenzy run- though I will be hiking not running. I like the fall season and feel of the race. But I live in southern Arizona, where it is just now in October starting to get cool in the mornings. I managed to get my first hike in early September when there was some surprise good weather, and was really excited to record my first entry. Now how do you think I felt when I looked at my first finish, and the feedback I got was not "good job!" or "nice start," but instead a criticism that I was already running behind schedule. ?????? I was not aware that I was under any schedule other than my own. All the excitement I had evaporated in that moment. I even thought about not bothering with the race anymore at all. I'm glad I stayed with it. I suppose that "motivation" works for some people, but it was disheartening to me.

### 1/5 — Can’t even use the app

*2023-01-23, version 1.0.76*

You have to sign up on a separate website and then pay $55 to even use the app. Screenshots made it seem exactly what I was looking for, so I’m disappointed that there’s a paywall

### 5/5 — APP IS NOT WORKING

*2022-11-01*

I was very excited to find out about this program and app. I signed up for the Holiday Hustle. I received instructions to download the app and I did that. The app is not working and I cannot see any pictures or words passed the first screen. I have emailed for support and have only received automated emails in return telling me exactly what I already know and have done. I would love to use this, since it’s already paid for. However, as it stands, I just wasted a lot of money.
