Ratings and reviews

As a spectator using the app to track runners, the biggest flaw is that it absolutely drains the runners batteries. Both people I was following said they had to turn their location permissions off because of how rapidly it was draining their battery. Really poor design considering the planned use, and the UI and user experience both leave a lot to be desired. While it worked it was fairly reliable, but most runners just can't use it long enough in it's current state.

App successfully timed my virtual race but would not upload the results (failed to connect) even after trying a few times on LTE and WiFi. Rebooted my phone to see if that would resolve the issue, and results had disappeared from the app. Good thing I had taken a screenshot of the malfunction that included my race time..... Very hard to recommend this app...

My husband and I just ran the virtual armytenmiler. We clicked to start the race at the same time. He was using his phone to listen to a book, I was not using my phone for anything except the app. He heard prompts at every mile and was able to submit his results. After my 10 miles, I checked my phone, the app said I ran 0.23 miles! The app doesn't appear to work in the background - no record of having run 10 miles! Maybe I just missed the instruction to turn off any phone power saving features.
