Direct uploading from my Strava account makes it easy to see my progress as I travel around Australia ### 5/5 — Loving the new app! *2024-04-19, version 2.0.8* Love Run the World and loving the new app! ### 5/5 — 6 years and it just keeps getting better 👍🏻 *2024-04-19, version 2.0.8* Have been using the app for 6 years, finished 3 maps on my 4th, it just keeps getting better ### 5/5 — Motivation to Run Down Under *2024-04-19, version 2.0.8* 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). ### 5/5 — Great motivational ap *2024-04-19, version 2.0.8* 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. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2024-04-19, version 2.0.8* The updated app is so good. Easy to navigate, syncs seamlessly and quickly with Strava, and is keeping me inspired to run around Australia. Well done! ### 5/5 — Great idea *2024-04-18, version 2.0.8* I like the new app. I’ve had no problems with it and find it easy to use. It has kept me going during a recent health scare when I couldn’t run but could still count my walks ### 5/5 — A Great App *2024-04-18, version 2.0.8* A long term participant in Run The World, I have found the new App fantastic. Easy to navigate and enjoy all the new stats displayed. Thankyou Travis and App team ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-04-18, version 2.0.8* New app has fantastic new features and is easy to navigate All my data is there straight away, and I can follow my friends with ease. Love it ### 5/5 — Love the new app *2024-04-18, version 2.0.8* I have found the upgrade great. I haven’t had any issues with runs synching via Strava, and the functionality and info in the app is far superior than previous version. Great motivation to get out there. Currently running/walking my way around the UK. Always great to hit a milestone on the journey. ### 5/5 — Over 80 *2024-04-18, version 2.0.8* What a great app, a few small problems early on but it’s a wonderful app and very easy to use, it must be at my age. Having run/ walked over 7000 ks round Australia and used the 1st & 2nd app the comparison is tremendous, can truly recommend. ### 5/5 — App update *2024-04-17, version 2.0.8* What’s with the new app update it is terrible. Update, took awhile but I’m used to it now and have no issues ### 5/5 — So clear and easy to use *2024-04-17, version 2.0.8* Loving the new app, love Run down under! Such a great concept and motivation and the new app is awesome Love being able to see at a glance where I’m at and runs being uploaded instantly is fabulous! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2024-04-17, version 2.0.8* There were a few teething problems with the new version, but everything I reported was resolved quickly and without fuss. This has become one of my core apps that I use every day to check on my progress and I really appreciate all the hard work that has gone into making it so enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-04-17, version 2.0.8* The App is a vast improvement on the previous version, and while initially there were a few minor bugs, these have been sorted and it is easy to use and very informative. Well done! ### 5/5 — Love this community and app *2024-04-17, version 2.0.8* Loving the updates and the abilities to see more on the app instead of going to the webpage. Now if only I could make better progress on my way around the UK! Keep it up ❤️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible payment and customer service *2026-03-01, version 2.0.27* 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. ### 1/5 — Not Impressed *2024-06-29, version 2.0.13* 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 ### 1/5 — Good app has gone downhill. *2024-04-25, version 2.0.8* 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. ### 1/5 — Improved Strava connectivity with last update? *2024-03-21, version 2.0.5* Not my experience at all. In fact, my Strava connectivity has materially deteriorated in the last 5 days. Not syncing despite refreshes, app dumps and disconnecting and reconnecting the Strava link. Strava connectivity is core to the usability of the app, so needs to be sorted as a priority. This is not the first time since the significant app refresh in the last month or two. Overall, the user experience has gone backwards in that time. ### 1/5 — Can’t use it without signing up for a monthly fee *2024-02-23, version 2.0* I liked the idea of this app but don’t want to sign up for a monthly fee without even being able to access it. Most apps have a free version and paid. ### 1/5 — Little Sketch *2020-02-07, version 1.2.112* Didn’t realize I had to pay until I was registering, $45, oof! No thanks. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2018-06-22, version 1.1.13* Stupid app. Keeps crashing, won’t link to Strava properly and if you send more than 30 seconds in it it shuts down and freezes your phone. ### 2/5 — Face recognition *2024-06-28, version 2.0.13* If this damn thing has to keep logging me out every day at least enable face recognition ### 2/5 — New app look full of bugs *2024-04-13, version 2.0.6* The new app since the last update and look makeover is horrendous. I loved the concept of this running adventure but not being able to manually add even a run for the previous day let alone the week is ridiculous. I don’t want to link any other app accounts and like to record my runs from the week manually every weekend but the new app is just not having any of it! There was also quite a lot of data from previous runs lost and overall the user experience is pretty bad. There is no graph with the weekly distance to compare progress anymore either. Please fix this and make this app more usable again. ### 2/5 — Lost data *2024-02-24, version 2.0* Recent update resulted in several days data being lost. Not convinced that the update is an improvement. The app doesn’t work properly with larger font sizes ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Motivational app *2026-04-02, version 2.0.28* Awesome app and fantastic idea - gets you motivated to get out the door and walk or run to meet your goals. ### 5/5 — A fun motivational overlay *2026-04-02, version 2.0.28* 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 ### 5/5 — Motivation *2026-04-02, version 2.0.28* Great app. Nothing motivates you like a challenge and what’s better than running around your own country! ### 5/5 — Motivational, Awesome Stats & User Friendly *2025-05-31, version 2.0.20* 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… 👏👏👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — Great motivation tool *2024-07-30, version 2.0.15* 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 ### 5/5 — Fantastic app & motivational tool *2024-07-24, version 2.0.15* 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! ### 5/5 — So motivational *2024-07-08, version 2.0.13* 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. ### 5/5 — Rundownunder *2024-04-25, version 2.0.8* 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 ### 5/5 — Motivation for running *2024-04-22, version 2.0.8* 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. ### 5/5 — App update April 2024 *2024-04-20, version 2.0.8* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
