Please contact us via the contact form on our website so we can investigate this further. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Distance tracking is straight up trash *2025-05-04* Both my watch and app said I clocked 18 kms which is also written on the certificate but now the summary section says 12k honestly disappointed ### 1/5 — IOS 17 Mandatory 😭 *2025-01-25, version 6.6.3* Unfortunately I have iPhone X, with application only 2 weeks ago updated. Now I cannot use it anymore because some “genius” decide that minimum IOS 17 is mandatory. I am very disappointed because I have already singed for virtual run. 😩 ### 1/5 — Did we lose? *2024-05-05, version 8.0.3* I think we lost ### 1/5 — App issues *2024-05-05, version 8.0.3* Terrible app. 5 hours out from the race and it’s taking me round in circles to reset my password. [I’ve already registered, bought my t-shirt on 24/04/2024, which still hasn’t arrived.] The app isn’t letting me in. ### 1/5 — Stopped working after 6km *2022-05-08* It stopped giving notifications after 6km I took the phone out after 10k at 57mins and it says the car catches me and end the run without any info! with my pace I should be able to finish 16-17k. Not joining the virtual run next year **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for taking the time to write us here even though you are so upset. We really appreciate that. We want nothing more than for our participants to have a great experience all around. Please help us out on how we can achieve that from your perspective. Write to us at app@wingsforlifeworldrun.com. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Did not let me start *2019-05-05, version 4.2.0* Downloaded the app and was logged in ready to go. Went to hit start after countdown. Would not let me start. Tried logging out and back in. No one at race was able to help me. Re installed app. Still no luck. Had already paid and gotten race number, emails confirmations, etc. Very dissatisfied. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2018-04-18* I have never had an app create so much frustration. Deserves zero stars. It sounded like a cool concept so I downloaded it. If you don’t complete sign in from start to finish it automatically starts you all over. Also, there is no event locations for hosted events so I have no clue if I can run one near me, which is what I would prefer. Either way, save yourself 15 minutes of frustration and pass on this terrible app. Instead run a local 5k where the proceeds go to charity. ### 2/5 — Amazing app, amazing charity but… *2026-03-07, version 9.1.3.1* This app is incredible and pushes for a wonderful cause that everyone should get behind. The only issue is that since the change of commentators from last year, the motivation slider has broken. When picking the “Essential Updates” third of the slider, the announcer unfortunately does not comment on anything, despite the option specifically qualifying that it would keep you updated on the Catcher Car and your distance, which makes it frustrating for runners like me that don’t like to be interrupted but want to keep updated on those details. As soon as this is fixed, immediately a 5/5. Amazing work. ### 2/5 — 질문합니다 *2017-04-24* 아이폰유저인데요 언어변경에한국어가없는데 어디서변경하나요~? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — First Time *2026-05-10, version 9.1.7.0* It was my first Wings for Life Run and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here’s to next year ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-05-10, version 9.1.7.0* I wish they’d do the run more than once a year. It’s a great app to motivate a nonrunner like me. ### 5/5 — So good *2025-05-04, version 9.0.2.0* Can’t recommend this enough ### 5/5 — Mason’s Team *2025-05-04, version 9.0.2.0* Excellent set up! Second time attending and can’t wait for next year! ### 5/5 — Maravilha *2025-05-04* Excelente ### 5/5 — Run *2025-05-04, version 9.0.2.0* Excellent ### 5/5 — Love the event *2025-05-04, version 9.0.2.0* A great fundraiser and a growing community experience for getting together and helping a good cause. Looking forward to next year. ### 5/5 — Corra por aqueles que não podem *2025-05-04* Amei melhor corrida da vida ### 5/5 — Incrível! *2025-05-04* Boa energia! Boa estrutura, lindo propósito! ### 5/5 — Phantastic event *2025-05-04, version 9.0.2.0* Brilliant, supported by the app for his is even very nice when you run on your own …. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
