User Reviews

Overall, the NYRR app is praised for spectator features like live tracking, splits, and photos and is considered easy to use when functioning. However, it suffers from severe stability and accuracy problems: tracking can be unreliable and show the wrong people, and the app frequently crashes or buffers on race day. The user experience is hampered by a confusing UI and navigation, plus sign-in friction. Many reviews question the app’s overall value, with some recommending the website instead. The core concept is solid, but reliability and accuracy must dramatically improve for consistent use.
Pros
  • Live tracking of friends with splits and photos for spectators.
  • Easy-to-understand, user-friendly interface.
  • Well-designed with fun features when the app works.
Cons
  • Unreliable tracking results: random runners appear, follows disappear, and you can’t reliably track the people you chose.
  • Frequent crashes, buffering, and loading problems, especially on race day.
  • Horrific UI and confusing navigation; non-intuitive flows and buggy interactions.
  • Sign-in/login friction: you often have to re-enter your email and there’s little persistence.
  • Questionable value for events; many users prefer using the website due to reliability concerns.

I love NYRR as an organization, and really enjoy running their races which are well organized, but can they please hire someone qualified to totally revamp/do a total overhaul on this app. It’s absolutely awful!

Love the app. It’s got a good interface, the ability to track friends and see their progress while also allowing me to see the pictures after the event. 5 stars!
