### 5/5 — Love VRC!

*2022-11-19, version 2.0*

I have had no issues with this app. I use my watch to track my run and easily import it in two clicks to whatever challenge I’m using it for in the app. I haven’t experienced any glitches or anything. I love VRC, I’ve been a part of many virtual running groups and this is my current favorite. The events have fun themes, the medals are high quality, and the new run community is so encouraging. Love VRC!

### 1/5 — Screen Goes Black

*2022-11-03, version 1.9*

Great app until I tried to import activity. Now every time I open my current race the screen just goes black. This makes it worthless.

### 2/5 — When it works it’s great.  But….

*2022-08-12, version 1.6*

Everything was fine with the app until it was updated.  Now I am unable to log my progress and I keep getting reverted back to the App Store.

### 2/5 — Frustrating Pace Results

*2022-06-11, version 1.5*

Last year VRC did their mileage tracking with the Spark run app and, although I understand it’s perhaps easier to track and ship @milestones with your own app, this one is a downgrade from Spark. All of your challenges are for running AND walking, but there is no way to designate which I am doing within the app. Not a huge deal, except that the VRC app requires me to enter the time of my activity and then computes a pace. Obviously, walking and running have different paces—the result is a number that is completely meaningless. Am I a fast walker? A slow runner? It averages the pace of all activities to one figure. You should remove the pace tracking function or create an input for participants to indicate if it was a walk or a run or other activity. To not do so is a missed opportunity.

### 1/5 — Fix the bugs

*2022-05-04, version 1.5*

The wording is all jumbled.

### 5/5 — Logging miles for challenge made easy!

*2022-03-08, version 1.5*

This app makes it easy to log miles for both me and my daughter who walks with me! It seems like they’re continuing to improve the app which is great - I love the new feature where you can log miles without scrolling!

### 2/5 — Needs an optional date field

*2022-02-16, version 1.3*

I need to go back and enter data from January and it will be difficult to keep straight as I flip back and forth from my activity app to this one.

### 1/5 — Conversion Error

*2022-02-12, version 1.3*

I entered 3.16 miles to complete a 5K but it logged as 2.59Km.

### 2/5 — Can’t edit mileage?

*2022-01-13, version 1.0*

I wish there was a way to edit reported mileage for challenges because I entered one incorrectly and can’t change it!
