Disappointed

I was excited to try this app but I can’t get it to connect. I don’t know why it’s not launching. My internet is fine.

Lacking

Never updates. Voice annoying. Idea ok but if they are t going todo anything with it, it stinks.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the Torch app. We are so sorry to hear that your recent experience with Torch had been less than ideal; We'll pass it along to our product team and see how we can improve it.

Amazing yet deceitful.

I love this app so much. I was getting bored with runs and this app renewed my love and brought my time up SO much. I also love that I get credit for walking a lot throughout the day. It’s cool to see how many miles I walk at work.

What is truly heartbreaking is that you are not actually racing anyone but yourself. Hey it’s still worth it, but it lets you add real life friends, but it doesn’t actually have you race them. That made me very sad. We were trying to go together (same time, different location) when we realized it’s totally fake. That makes me sad, but I also realize it means you’re only racing yourself and THAT is how my time improved so quickly. I wish I never found out it was a lie.

Fun idea but the voice is annoying

I like the idea and the function of this app for the most part but I can’t use it anymore because the voice prompts are obnoxiously loud and way too numerous. Please add a way in the app to turn off the voice prompts. They are way louder than my music, and hurt my ears. Also I don’t need to hear when I’m in the lead or loss the lead or 3 reminders that a increase is coming up it’s so annoying. If it was just a quick reminder each time the effort changed and when the battle was done that would be fine but there are way too many right now

Fake Races

Did a race. I didn’t even move just to see. And guess what. I still won the race by barely moving.
