At first, the app would split my run workouts into several smaller runs of about 1.5km each so wouldn’t qualify as a run, secondly after an app update my 5km run only registered as 4km and thirdly after another app update, the app won’t sync and display any data at all. Not good enough and will only do the opposite of the apps intention of motivating people to get active. Please sort these problems out ASAP. ### 1/5 — Not working at all *2021-09-27, version 2.7.9* First it didn’t sync my runs with Apple Health; I swiched to Strava and synced one run and now the App keeps on crashing. I have no idea whether that run is still recorded. It is frustrating and very, very demotivating. No feedback after reporting it on Twitter (DM) and through the feedback on the App. Useless - clearly developers don’t care about their customers. ### 1/5 — So many updates *2021-09-26, version 2.7.9* Really poor. Problems syncing with trackers, not updating and has needed updating multiple times over the last few days. And I thought the ‘main’ Vitality app was bad… ### 1/5 — App freezes *2021-09-25, version 2.7.8* App freezes after opening. Removed and reinstalled on iPhone several times but it still doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Not Working *2021-09-25, version 2.7.8* Every time I go on the app it freezes, so annoying. ### 1/5 — Frozen *2021-09-24, version 2.7.8* I can’t use the app at all. I think I’ve been able to scroll down to my data twice, it is always frozen as soon as I open it! I even deleted and uploaded again! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2021-09-23, version 2.7.8* App does not work ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-09-23, version 2.7.8* Really poor. Won’t sync with Apple Health and can’t even upload a manual run. Was quite looking forward to this event but the app needs to be well executed. ### 1/5 — Great idea, terrible app *2021-09-22, version 2.7.6* App freezes shortly after startup. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2021-09-22, version 2.7.6* Keeps freezing after a few seconds. Unusable ### 1/5 — App is not syncing at all *2021-09-06, version 2.6.1* Hi the app isn’t syncing it’s really frustrating ### 1/5 — Palestine *2021-09-05* Why can‘t I choose Palestine as my country? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-01-18, version 2.15.12* The app won’t even let me sign in and it seems like every link you click for forgot my password or terms and conditions it says page not found ### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync with apple health *2021-12-02, version 2.8.4* This is a brilliant idea but very poor app, won’t sync with apple health, have tried deleting app, reinstalling app, all permissions are turned on but still doesn’t work…very frustrating ### 1/5 — Angry *2021-10-05* Very bad 👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — biased compétition *2021-10-05* The app Made England First on behalf Algerien Team so the UK Team could qualify To finals , without giving any Proofs of farud from Algerien team.. i will Never joint this évent ever ### 1/5 — Application non transparente *2021-10-05* Dans le cadre du virtual World Cup run, l’application a destitué mon équipe de points bonus sur base de suppositions non tangibles. L’application team a disqualifié l’Algérie pour faire qualifier le pays organisateur l’Angleterre pour la phase finale de la compétition en nous enlevant des points bonus et points KM. Je trouve ça vraiment désolant et pas du tout fairplay dans une compet de sport comme celle-ci. Je partagerai cet avis négatif avec tout mon entourage et déconseillerai l’utilisation de cette application qui va à l’encontre de mes valeurs et surtout les valeurs des gens respectables et sportifs. ### 1/5 — Unfair competition *2021-10-05, version 2.8.0* My message to organizing committee of this game , what you did to Algeria team is not fair, you decreased their points in favor of the organizing country UK just to qualify SHAME ON YOU I AM DELETING THIS APP ### 1/5 — 🚮🚮 *2021-10-04* This competition is unfair and the organizers should be ashamed ! ### 1/5 — Application de tricheur *2021-10-04* Non comptabilise les Km courus pour la compétition organisée juste pour qualifier leur nation triste mal une application de tricheur ### 1/5 — Required write permissions to Apple Health *2021-10-04, version 2.8.0* For no good reason this application requests both read and write permissions to Apple Health Workout data. Given what it wants to read, there should be no need for write permissions at all. ### 1/5 — Not working with Health app *2021-10-01, version 2.7.10* Unfortunately after many “bug fixes” this still doesn’t work correctly with the Health app to record exercises taken with apple Watch. It worked for a couple of days, although the distances were different than the ones recorded in Fitness, but the latest update broke things down again. All my history was cleared from the app. :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Discrimination and racism *2021-10-05, version 2.8.0* Organizer of this competition discriminated and denied Algeria from going to finals after a clear 4th place in semi finals just to allow England the organizer country to go to finals, shame on you!! ### 5/5 — Great competition & great feel to app *2021-09-24, version 2.7.8* Really well done app with quick functionality with my runs uploading. Loads of cool features seeing number of runs and caps for Country! GOODY BAG IS GREAT! ### 5/5 — Great for Running! *2021-09-24, version 2.7.8* Amazing app to use. Connects with my Apple Watch run tracker easily and adds my runs onto the app. Really cool being able to compete against other people around the world and in your own created team! Slight delay on runs uploading but understandable with number of Countries using the app! ### 5/5 — Love this app and event! *2020-01-23, version 1.1.5* Go team UK. ### 5/5 — My first run *2020-01-23, version 1.1.5* I’m excited about the running World Cup because I’m getting fitter and to run for my country is exciting. Thank you to the organisers to get me running again ### 5/5 — First time runner *2020-01-23, version 1.1.5* I am new to running and really looking forward to running in the Running World Cup with this easy app ### 3/5 — More additions please! *2020-02-11, version 1.1.8* I downloaded this app thinking I would contribute to the U.K’s progress with my runs. However, neither Tom Tom Sports Connect or Nike Plus running club are available to choose from to connect. Please add them! ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2021-09-23, version 2.7.6* Still not syncing my runs from Apple Health app, and therefore not showing my cumulative progress, or my country’s ☹️ Manual runs entered past 2 days also not showing. I appreciate the whole VRWC is free, but many citizens around the world have committed to this, many have likely purchased merchandise and many have given good feedback on their issues with the app to help with troubleshooting - please, please don’t ruin the experience, fix the app. Many thanks iPhone 11 with iOS 15 ### 2/5 — Freezes after open on iOS 15 *2021-09-22, version 2.7.6* Freezes after open on iOS 15. Cannot use :( ### 2/5 — Not syncing recent runs on apple health *2021-09-20, version 2.7.5* My runs go back to May on the app and previous to then but nothing recent/since May. No idea why. **since latest update it just crashes - running iOS 14.8** --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
