### 1/5 — Useful App with targets

*2025-11-26, version 1.9.20*

Unable to open app after update today.

### 4/5 — Latest update crashes

*2025-11-26, version 1.9.20*

Didn’t know how to report but v1.9.20 is bombing out on load. Avoid updating until the fix

### 4/5 — Some great challenges

*2025-08-24, version 1.9.16*

A Great app, some great challenges. Very enjoyable and adds some excitement to planning which parkrun to run next. 

Only let down being that the developer has included the Channel Islands as being in the U.K. in some challenges. The Channel Islands are not part of the U.K. (Compass (U.K.) and Jordan challenges spotted so far which have included the Channel Islands in the U.K.
.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-08-24, version 1.9.16*

Just wondering why Swinoujscie parkrun in Poland doesn’t qualify for the islands of Europe as it is on Usedom island

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-08-22, version 1.9.16*

App won’t proceed beyond the initial entry of information, shame as it looked good

### 2/5 — Sadly no longer works

*2025-08-04, version 1.9.16*

This was an excellent app. All of my stats and achievements in one place and loads of ideas for future challenges. If only I could get it to work. I’ll keep trying but for now can’t rate the app any higher than 2 * which is a shame as a year ago it would definitely have been a 5.

### 4/5 — App not working

*2025-08-03, version 1.9.16*

I really like this app as the challenges are fun and motivating however for the last few days I have been unable to access it. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it but still get an error code. Hopefully it will work again soon.

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2025-08-02, version 1.9.16*

Since the upgrade 3d ago this app no longer works, I did love it, I tried a complete uninstall and that didn’t work either.

### 5/5 — Update sorted

*2025-07-31, version 1.9.16*

Woodlands parkrun at Scarborough was missing from the Yorkshire and Humberside Region list but now all good. Thanks for a fun app.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2025-07-06, version 1.9.15*

Really user friendly app to present parkrun data. Actually prefer the map display on this app compared to the 5k given you can see the names. Just keeping fingers crossed Event Directors get an icon/badge soon!
