Motivational app

Awesome app and fantastic idea - gets you motivated to get out the door and walk or run to meet your goals.

A fun motivational overlay

Love this app not only for capturing all of my walk and run activities over the last 6 years, but for the large number of challenges which have helped keep my running fun

Motivation

Great app. Nothing motivates you like a challenge and what’s better than running around your own country!

Terrible payment and customer service

App allows me to subscribe in multiple formats (annually and monthly) which is either poor design or intentional . Tried to cancel and advised told nothing to do with application, arrange yourself. Poor information on application and unhelpful customer service email. Recommend other apps; lost me as a customer.

Motivational, Awesome Stats & User Friendly

The new app is awesome, easy to use and full of up to date data. The map’s & locations are fascinating to see, especially with the corresponding notifications when you pass thru cities, towns & countries. I’d give it 10 Stars plus… 👏👏👏👏👏

Great motivation tool

If you’re the kind of person who enjoys travelling and running together that’s the ap for you

It will take you places you probably never been and will never go to on your own and keep you motivated to reach your next city and milestone

Fantastic app & motivational tool

Run the world just gets better and better. The new app is super easy to navigate, with so many different ways of looking at your running data. It’s also fun to follow your friends and idols and indulge in a little healthy competition. The business owner Travis is very receptive to feedback and questions and often takes the time to send encouraging and friendly emails. This app has often got me out the door when motivation was low. Thank you!

So motivational

I notice that some people have given this app “less than glowing” reviews but my experience is that it has always been a really motivational tool for keeping moving over a long period time. The new and updated app has all the old “motivation” AND finally has so many glitches ironed out, is so user friendly and so much more streamlined than it has ever been before. It’s easier to access, easier to use, easier to see, has better graphics and the app owner is SUPER responsive if there are any glitches at all. I couldn’t be more impressed than with a program that has kept me moving strong over MANY years, and which I hope will help me keep active for decades to come.

Not Impressed

The app says in app purchases but in reality you have to sign up and subscribe before you can even see the app. I wanted to do the virtual run around Australia but this was going to cost $5.99 a month meaning that the total run would end up costing $500 by the time I complete it. I’ll stick to real runs

Face recognition

If this damn thing has to keep logging me out every day at least enable face recognition

Good app has gone downhill.

This app used to work flawlessly, however, now, despite disconnecting ,reconnecting, deleting the app ,re-installing the app several times my Strava is still not syncing with Run the World. The last time it synced an activity was February 17, 2024 and today is April 25, 2024. Not sure how much longer I’m supposed to wait for this to be corrected.

Rundownunder

This is my walk around Australia. It has been slow due to health but do hope to complete it.
This new app is very easy to follow. It show me everything about my run and I can also check on how my friends are doing. If I cannot find what I need I send an email and get my answer quickly. Love this app

Motivation for running

This is such a great app to help you get fit and healthy and achieve a running goal.
It’s easy to navigate the app and easy to see your progress and check out your stats.

App update April 2024

This updated version gives a multitude of data and is very engaging and informative. Many thanks for working so tirelessly to get these bugs and improvements sorted. Well done.

Great features

This app has motivated me to walk daily with its great features and statistics , including weekly kms, weekly streak count, yearly goals and monthly competitions for members.
Direct uploading from my Strava account makes it easy to see my progress as I travel around Australia

Loving the new app!

Love Run the World and loving the new app!

6 years and it just keeps getting better 👍🏻

Have been using the app for 6 years, finished 3 maps on my 4th, it just keeps getting better

Motivation to Run Down Under

Run the World has been a part of my journey now coming on three years. I have to say that the app itself is aesthetically pleasing, with all the functionality one might need or want from a friendly self journey or competition. Whether competing with friends or with yourself, or you’re just looking for a way to recognise your efforts, this self paced event has you covered. Why not download today! Register and at the years end have your efforts celebrated by means of a quality medal to show off to all your mates. (This was not a paid sponsor/review - I just simply adore what this app and overall team have done for me and want to share it with others).

Great motivational ap

I’ve been with run the world (doing Run down under), for 4 years.
I love the concept and the community spirit that is fostered by the developer.
So many maps you can choose to do your virtual running/walking adventure almost anywhere in the world, and it helps get me out the door to rack up kms every day.
