Racery: Virtual Races

Please bring back more of the features of the old app. Participant interaction has dropped off significantly in this new app which makes too many of our old functions nearly impossible. We are very disappointed with a new and “improved” (tongue in cheek) app, which was supposed to be better or at least equally good. For those of us who want to include photos straight from our phone, we are typically using the phone app instead of the web version on a laptop. I find myself saying “Argh!” almost every time I try to use the “new” app. Yuck.

Recently used this to participate in a race created fo a group I’m in. Easy to log miles, see standings and view recent activity of teammates. Loved being able to see google street view of where we were traveling along the route. Can’t wait til my next race!!

This app is awesome! The virtual running club I’m in uses it to allow teams (who have never met in person) to compete against each other on courses set around the world. Logging is super easy, it’s really cool to see location and street view is the location! I will say, though, that if the app is down, it’s probably our fault- we inundate them with probably 1000+ people who log up to 15 miles a day for a week plus at a time... but so far no major issues!!
