Broken app - should be removed

Plenty of other reviews about Apple wallet integration being broken. That was what I was hoping to use. However, I never got that far, it offers to let me pay with Apple Pay then immediately fails. Only because I came to post this review about broken Apple Pay did I see the notes about Apple wallet failing too. Seems like the app is worthless all the way around.

Add To Apple Wallet Feature Stopped Working

I rarely use this app but I found it useful for adding my race tickets to my Apple Wallet, and also for claiming my tickets. Well, it looks like the add ticket to Apple Wallet feature is not working. I hit the button and nothing happens. I’ve tried all the solutions including deleting and reinstalling the app but it still doesn’t work. So what changed? It worked just fine for the last race which was a month ago. If something else breaks in this app, I’m permanently deleting it. Get the Apple Wallet feature fixed please.

Don’t get it

They have the absolute worst support ever, takes a week to get a response and completely non helpful. They scam with the ridiculous fees. No wonder they are getting sued and I’m signing up too

Money hungry

It’s hard to digest how little you get for the ever increasing costs. Insurance is a scam. Hidden fees. They compensate the volunteers absolutely nothing so that they do absolutely nothing. The owners and stakeholders should be ashamed

Stuck on a load screen

I get through the warmup and now I’ve got the spinning wheel of loading because I completed the warmup. Been spinning for 5mins…kinda hard to stay warm when the app won’t get off the load screen.

I had to delete and reinstall the app.

Please spend more time improving your app, or offer a printout of the workout so I’m not left waiting for an app to load in the middle of a workout

Less Functional than the Site

Downloaded this app because I thought it would be more valuable than the website. Aside from downloading your tickets into your digital wallet, I found the functionality being broken or limited. An example of this is when I tried to view the course map. The app took me to a partially filled page, no map. I went to the website and there I was able to see the same page but filled and with the course data.

Tickets are showing up

I just bought a trifecta pass and I’m doing all three in one event. I am trying to assign the tickets in the app but only one of the races showed up. Hopefully, this doesn’t cause issues on race day. I would be very upset. I took a screenshot of the receipt so hopefully that works. Bad first impression of this app.

Inadequate

This app is highly inadequate for what it’s trying to be. It won’t display all of the races you registered for and then when you try to submit a help request in their help center, the submit question option doesn’t work. It shouldn’t be this hard to use.

Abandoned previous app without warning

I’ve used Spartan Fit for years. Suddenly the app doesn’t work and isn’t supported (5 months after renewing my annual membership). I never got a warning or a refund. I reached out but never got a response. Spartan abandoned their clients to create a shiny new app that no one asked for, and lost loyal customers along the way. Never again with such an inconsiderate and untrustworthy company.

Needs improvement for sure

The app works, I’ve had it for 10 days and have feedback -
Please allow for distance measurements to change from metric to imperial.
Please fix the clock portion resetting to “0” when exiting out of a circuit to look at the next circuit.
Please keep the clock running if the user goes to another app.
Please allow for checking off when a single exercise is done in the circuit, along with the “mark all complete”

Couldn’t find anything

Very frustrating. Couldn’t find anything on the app - just trying to do a spectator pass took me 20 min. Simplicity is key here folks!

App crashing

I love this and have been using it for the past few years now. However, ever since this weekend the app has been crashing after a few seconds of use. There seems to be some kind of bug

Meh. No customer service

Tried for several days to contact support via email and tickets but no responses. Discounts codes did not work but they will spam you via text and email. Disappointed because I loved the actual events.

App crash

After the update anytime I go to assign a ticket to myself the app crashes and closes out I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and still crashes when I try to assign a ticket to myself

Auto scroll is annoying.

Most of the app is pretty good… but the auto side scroll on the home tab, between the races I am signed up for, is super annoying. Please get rid of it! I’ll scroll to the race I am looking to check info on, and as soon as I am about to select something, like ‘view ticket’ or ‘view course map’, the app auto scrolls away to a different race I’m signed up for. I can swipe left and right just fine on my own. Please make it stop! (I bought a season pass this year, and this is gonna drive me crazy if I gotta deal with it all year!) Other than that, pretty well organized app.

RIPOFF

What a RIP-OFF this race has become!!
They used to have the pics of the races FREE for those of us crazy enough to invest our hard earned money to participate, run, test our limits and see a few rare of those moments of pure agony, pain and excitement captured in pictures….
Only for them to “partner” with some photography company that now CHARGES us runners for pictures on top of the huge amount we pay to run these races.
This is so off-putting and disappointing that this company has become so huge that they now Nickel & Dime us runners for these moments our loved ones can’t accompany us.
I may look to go and participate in another obstacle race company that doesn’t charge another amount on top of the crazy price in this Inflation Economy where they don’t tell you about the Veteran-Active Duty discount till AFTER you’ve purchased the race tickets.

WHAT A RIP-OFF you’ve become SPARTAN RACE

Basically useless

Outside of retrieving your ticket (add it to your apple wallet), the app is useless. It displays helpful stuff but it fails to actually be accessible. Do not use the app if your looking for reliable information.

Old app

Merge this app with the old app and yuh got something.

Can’t pick the Week within Programs.

Programs not functioning properly. Is not letting change the ‘Week’ you desire to explore. Stays on ‘Week 1’ all the time. Very disappointing!!

Terrible app full of bugs

Basically what the title says. The app is so riddled with bugs that it’s basically unusable. The workouts are fantastic, but i can’t access them even though i pay for the app. Only reason it isnt one star is because the workouts are good. But you’re better off finding a different program somewhere else on the internet.
