I used this app to do a virtual race for charity which the app registered that it completed however the results would not upload to the leaderboard and when I restarted the app the run data was gone. The data synced eventually but was a lot of time wasted getting this sorted.

Good for tracking virtual races. Pretty much a cut down Zombies Run! app for specific races. Functioned well for Solar System & Stand Up To Cancer races. Basic options but does the job of playing, tracking & recording races without issue.

Following last year's fairly dismal review (below) I thought I'd try again with run to the deep. No chance! I get a blank page on the app when I click on the race. Useless It would be great if you could pause the run. I can't run for 10k in one go! I'm really disappointed because the first 4k of run the solar system were great.

I really like the idea, but the system is unintuitive and buggy. The method of downloading and entering races could be made a lot less complicated (eg entering and downloading races via the app). It stopped itself 4km into run the solar system first time I attempted it, so I failed to log a time on that occasion. When I reattempted it, the app has completed it, the data did not upload to the leader board. I logged out and logged in and all my data in the app for that race had been lost. App sort of useless at the moment.

I can't find anymore races besides the solar system one. Even the spy one disappeared before I could download it prior to the race end time. What's the scalability on this app? It would be great if there are actually virtual races.

There is no way to create an account on the app and there doesn't appear to be any races on the website to sign up for. There should always be at least one thing available to sign up for at all times, otherwise this is just a waste to download. Will there be notifications about new races? Doesn't seem like it since the app just sends you to a website to sign up for races. Love StS (which is the only reason I gave it 2* instead of 1*) but this is not making a good impression.
