Review summary

The Running Challenges Firefox add-on is highly valued by parkrun enthusiasts for enriching their experience with additional stats, badges, and maps that motivate participation. However, many users report significant compatibility issues on Firefox for Android due to dropped extension support, and occasional malfunctions following parkrun website updates. Installation and usability problems are common, limiting access for some users. Despite these setbacks, the developers are praised for their swift response to issues, and dedicated users continue to find it a fantastic addition to their parkrun activities.
Pros
  • Enriches basic parkrun data with additional information such as challenges, badges, and maps.
  • Provides an enjoyable and motivating way to track parkruns, especially for tourists and regular runners.
  • Dedicated users appreciate the detailed stats and unique features like a map of parkruns visited, encouraging exploration.
  • Developers are responsive and fix issues caused by changes in the parkrun website fairly quickly.
Cons
  • Extension is not compatible with current Firefox versions on Android, as Firefox dropped support for most extensions, making it unusable on those devices.
  • Users report that the add-on sometimes stops working after updates or website changes, resulting in missing features like maps and challenges.
  • Installation or starting issues occur frequently, including the 'Add to Firefox' button not working, preventing use of the extension.
  • The extension can be complicated or prone to stopping working, frustrating users who rely on it heavily.

2023-04-16 Bi***** I downloaded Firefox for Android specifically for this extension, only to find it's not compatible :(

2023-02-11 Fi***** This is a brilliant add-on. As mentioned in one review, it is sometimes affected by changes to the parkrun website and the developers have to play catch up. They are as swift as they can be under the circumstances. I suspect that most folk who can't get their add-on to work have an ID-10-T problem rather than an issue with the extension.
