*2024-01-12*

I’ve logged in plenty of miles and I’m very pleased with the app. 
Recently I’ve purchased some new shoes and wanted to log them on the app but that feature is not working. I’ve tried several times.

### 5/5 — Greatest Running App

*2023-05-04*

I have used Trackster for many years and have nothing but good things to say. It feels clean, it provides insightful information about your run, and it truly feels like a great way to track training over time. It is regularly updated with new features as well as improving on old ones. From professional runners to casual runners, this is something everyone can use.

### 5/5 — Best App For Runners

*2023-02-01*

I love using trackster, it’s so much fun to log and I just love the interface. I can’t wait to see what else is added to it! A lot better than a lot of other logging websites and apps.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the support!!

### 5/5 — A keeper

*2021-12-13, version 30.7*

Same quality, if not better,  as Strava but for free. You can tap into the unique running community that we all enjoy so much.

### 5/5 — Download ASAP!!!

*2021-08-20*

Trackster has allowed me to take accountability for my training while also keeping me informed with what my friends are doing as well. Using this app has involved me in a community that supports athletes alike. It’s a fun way to log runs and cross training sessions while also allowing interaction through posts and comments. Everyone needs to get on board with Trackster and download ASAP!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Support is MIA - doesn’t respond to you

*2025-02-24, version 71.0*

I have been messaging Trackster for MONTHS with an issue and I keep getting directed to the team@Trackster email but no one ever responds. Completely ghosted and not getting any help.

### 1/5 — Billing Issues

*2022-10-18*

I wanted to love this app because I want to support anyone who tries to grow track and field. However, since canceling Boost in August of 2021, I have been charged $200 in $50 increments. I've emailed Emmet three times, the first of which he was super helpful and promptly refunded my money. The second time, I specifically asked that my payment info be deleted, which Emmet said he was able to do. I didn't receive a refund for the $100 that had accumulated by that point, but since the ordeal was over(I thought) I was willing to eat it and move on. Fast forward six months, and yet another $50 charge shows up in my account. I don't know what else to do at this point, as the Trackster team hasn't responded to my last email. I have a ton of respect for what they're trying to do, but sketchy at best is all I can say about the company's billing practices.

### 1/5 — Bugs and unintuitive UX

*2020-07-20*

Two main complaints:
- when scrolling down on the entries or athletes list on a meet, instead of loading more it just refreshes and takes you back to the top. This makes the meet feature unusable. Also, you can’t sort these lists on iOS like you can on a web browser
-I found the process of linking a Garmin account and uploading a run from garmin very difficult. Again, I had to switch to my computer

### 1/5 — Crashes Constantly

*2018-10-12, version 9.6*

The app crashes within 2 seconds of opening every time.  UNUSABLE on my iOS 12 iPhone 6S

### 1/5 — THIS APP IS AWFUL

*2018-10-02, version 9.6*

IT CONSTANTLY CRASHES I CANT EVEN ADD MY TEAM PLEASE FIX

### 1/5 — Used to be great, now eh

*2018-09-20, version 9.1*

The app worked great for a couple months. Now whenever I click on my profile the app crashes and when I try to submit a training log it doesn’t work. 
Unbelievable do not buy this app

### 1/5 — App crashes when loading

*2018-06-12, version 7.0*

When you try to open the app it crashes right away

### 2/5 — Crashes too much

*2022-07-02, version 45.0*

Bro the crashes are so bad for the app otherwise it’s a really good app for logging miles for XC but yeah no I’ll leave it at 2.

### 2/5 — Review

*2019-10-31, version 15.7*

Strava > trackster 😈😈

### 2/5 — Great when it works

*2018-07-24, version 7.9*

Love the app when it doesn’t randomly crash... which as of late it hasn’t even let me load the home screen without crashing.

### 5/5 — Great Alternative to the Big Guys

*2026-08-03*

I downloaded this app after Des Linden’s recommendation on her podcast and I haven’t looked back. Easy to navigate, love the metrics, and syncs effortlessly with my Apple Watch. Strava and Garmin are fine, but if you want the feel of an actual coach on an app where you can message with a question or issue and get a response from a human almost immediately, this is for you! I can’t wait to see what these guys have planned for future enhancements!

### 5/5 — This app is sooo inclusive

*2026-06-06*

I am so excited to use all the features this app!! The way you can add friends and share workouts. Also the analytics are amazing!! I really think this will help me understand how I can improve my running!!

### 5/5 — Awesome App!!

*2026-05-15*

I’m so happy I found an activity app without a pay wall and access to so many cool features and overlays. My favorite feature is where it shows you your fastest segment of the activity.

### 5/5 — Trackster keeps me motivated!

*2026-05-10*

I have nothing but good things to say about Trackster! I love the mission behind this app, the interactive and social features that users can take advantage of, and the ease of uploading and editing activities. I look forward to continuing to use Trackster for my keeping track of my running and staying motivated!

### 5/5 — BETTER THAN STRAVA

*2026-05-09*

### 5/5 — Best running app!!

Trackster is innovative & constantly evolving to find ways to best serve its users! It offers creative overlays that you can use to share your training on social media & has so many features that help athletes to prioritize & optimize their training while allowing you connect with other runners :)

### 5/5 — Amazing Running App!

*2026-05-08*

I’ve loved using Trackster because it’s a fun way to interact with and meet other runners. The Turbo feature is super cool — who doesn’t love a free, high-quality training plan with included coaching videos?! Definitely recommend joining and giving it a try!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-04-26*

I’ve used this to keep track of my miles during my Cross Country / Track seasons, and I really like how the app is structured. I find it eye catching and like how easy it is to post towards my team and see my teammates runs as well.

### 5/5 — Great app

Trackster is a wonderful app! You aren't bombarded with any payments, and it's easy and simple to use. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — The BEST
