RaceJoy vs Peps!

RaceJoy is created specifically for running, cycling and triathlon events with a focus on the participant and spectator experience. Features vary by event and include live phone tracking, progress alerts, results, race information, photos, Send-a-Cheer and much more! There are two distinct experiences in RaceJoy: -Featured Events -Training Days Featured Events (shown with the Event Logo): These are events that have contracted with RaceJoy to provide a premium experience for participants and spectators. Features are free and provided by the event or sponsor(s). Features included: -Live GPS, phone tracking on the course map. -Send-a-Cheer! (fun motivational audio clips). -NearMe alerts (spectators and waiting relay teams get an alert when a participant is drawing near). -MeetUp tool for seeing where you are in relation to a participant. -Automatic Progress Postings to Twitter (with your approval, of course!). The following features may be provided by the event: -Scored Race Results within moments of crossing the finish line. -Essential race information like schedules, FAQs, race news, and more. -Your official race photos. -Optional Tracking with Progress Alerts: Some events offer BIBTAG tracking in addition to PhoneTrak. For these events there is no need to carry your phone as this is based on the participant’s BIB/chip as they cross over timing points on the course. Training Days This area enables athletes to have their friends and family track their progress live on a map and send motivational cheers during long training runs or rides. All PhoneTrak features are available in Training Days, along with special motivational cheers to help you through those tough moments. Training Days is a free always available area for your long training days. Based on our privacy policy you must setup a special tracking ID (PIN) with profile name and provide that to friends and family tracking you on your Training Days. Add a Race? If you would like a race to offer the full featured experience with official race progress alerts and results, please let the race director know about RaceJoy. Battery Usage RaceJoy’s live phone tracking feature is ONLY activated during the hours of the event. When using Training Days, the athlete turns on/off tracking as needed. Use of this GPS technology running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. You may disable this under settings at anytime during the event to conserve battery life if needed. Feedback and Support We hope you enjoy using RaceJoy! Please share your experience in the App store to encourage others to try it out. If you have had any issues, or have feedback or ideas, please help us to improve the experience by contacting us at support@racejoy.com. RaceJoy is created by a small family business and is dedicated to changing the race experience.

ENGAGE FRIENDS AND FAMILY WITH PEPS With Peps, your friends and family can send you their own custom written or recorded cheers, which you will hear on the race course while running the race. Friends can either send their cheers in advance prior the race, or send them LIVE while watching your strugg..enjoyable voyage towards the finish line. Messages can be either written or recorded, and written cheers can be in any language: Peps detects the written language and speaks it out in that language. If you like listening to music while running, friends can also send you their power songs, which will be then added to your Spotify queue automatically. EASY FOR FRIENDS TOO Your friends do not need the Peps app and they don’t need to register anywhere either. You simply create your race event’s unique magic link in the Peps app and then just send the created link to your friends. Friends will do all their things on that web page. Friends will not see other friends´ messages and so can’t you until the race is over. So it will be a lot of fun! RESPOND TO YOUR FRIENDS You can also send feedback to the friends: you can either send quick emojis from the app, and they will pop up on the friends map. You can even record quick audio messages to your friends, which the friends can listen on the friends page. Also your listened Spotify tracks will appear on the map on points they started, as well as the ran distance, spent time and the trail you’ve done so far. RACE PASS To listen the cheers sent to you in a race, you will have to buy a Race Pass. You can download the app for free, and you can create your event as well for free, and friends can even send their cheers without purchasing the Race Pass, but if you want to listen the cheers in the race, you need the Race Pass. Race Pass is not a subscription of any type. The Race Pass is valid 8 days from the purchase, so you can do the purchase way before the actual BANG at the start line. While the pass is valid, you can run as many races you want, you SUPERHUMAN! If the race organizer is offering Peps free in their event, the PLAY button will become active when you are located nearby the race area. In this case you don’t need to purchase the Race Pass. VIRTUAL RUNS Peps is used for many virtual running events too. Simply enter the route code you received to download the routes. Pick your route and tap PLAY! THE GOOD, THE BETTER, THE DETAILS Read everything from the FAQ section in the app. You’ll find tutorial videos there too! But the highlights briefly: All written messages will be also sent to your sports watch, if it just supports iPhone’s mirrored notifications via Bluetooth. You can listen to your music etc. with Peps just like normal. You can use your tracker app with Peps just like normal. Other volume is ducked down, when Peps has something to say, and after it, brought back up. Peps won’t drain your battery either or over-consume your data plan. To use the Spotify features, you will need to connect Peps with Spotify app. Do this in the app’s settings, grant access and you’re good to go. Some functions need the Spotify Premium account. When friends send you messages and the race has not started yet, they can set the distance marker for their message, when it is played, or just leave it without distance marker, and then the message is played at some random point of the race. If the race is on (means that you’ve tapped PLAY in the app), all sent messages at that time are played out immediately.
