I didn’t use it during the race (I was running so had the tracker function on though), have been told people had trouble with tracking updating, from other reviews sounds like the app was overwhelmed. I had WiFi off, so that may have been part of the issue (it did tell me it might not work as well without WiFi enabled). Really liked the photo booth function!

It clearly says “Track Participant Live”, but it’s not live at all. It just records when you crossed the starting line and then estimates where they would be based on an average running pace. I was watching the live tracking to support my runner, and it showed they were almost to where we were standing. We kept watching for them, and nothing. Checked the app again, and it showed they were already past us. I knew we hadn’t seen them, so I pulled up the track my iPhone app, and they were still two miles back from where the supposed live tracker said they were.

App is repeatedly asking for reviews two days before marathon. 1. The app did not go “active” until 9 days before the race. The countdown space holder on the app has room for 999 days. A little misleading from when we were asked to download app months ago. Set realistic expectations or communicate changes! 2. The procedure to set up live tracking is not confidence building. No way to test a connection before start of of race. It’s a wait and see for the rest of the skills on the app. So, there’s your review Flying Pig. Now, can I open app without the ful screen request to rate it??
