"Terrible app. Downloaded for the Great North Run. The map at the top of the screen clearly found my position and moved when I did yet still kept saying it couldnt track by GPS. Recommendation was to hold my phone up??? What? For 13.1 miles??Followed all instructions and have screenshots to prove it. Wasted £8 on extra data and £8 on a portable charger to use this app. Bitterly disappointed. Luckily had my Garmin watch to complete my charity run. Don`t recommend. Will now delete and not use again"

"Used this for the first time today to do the Virtual Great North Run. Unfortunately, there doesn`t seem to be any way to test it prior to racing which led me to discover a couple of issues during the event. The main issue was that it kept telling me that it had a poor GPS connection. I was using a running armband and the phone reported a full lock. I had to run an additional 300m over my Garmin`s reported distance. It also doesn`t play nicely with YouTube Music so I couldn`t listen to that."

"What a useless app. A complete waste of my time. Why can`t they link into Garmin or Strava, platforms that are actually capable. I will never enter another virtual race that uses this rubbish app."

"1st race half recorded. No option to enter run manually. This app still needs some thorough improvement."

"Ran the great North run this morning, the app struggled to maintain GPS, kept interrupting my music, and ended up one kilometer out of sync with the actual distance I had covered. I ended up running an extra kilometer but the app never said that I had finished, it probably still thinks I`m still running. Would not recommend and will not be using again."

"I used ViRace app on my oneplus,6 for an virtual event. It was working fine during warm up and I got voice cues for start of the race, but after the race is started, the application did not record my activity. Fortunately, I logged my activity on my smartwatch. But I cannot trust this application."

"Used the app for the GNR after setting up as per viRACE instructions. Ran my planned route which was spot on 13.1 miles. App was way behind my Garmin watch to which in the end I had to run an addtional 3 miles to complete GNR. The final map on the viRACE app which you cant view historically was all over the place. Dont seem to have this GPS issue with other running apps. Liked the warm up, commentry and celebrity audio cameos. Also the opportunity to run the GNR which viRACE has enabled."

"Ich weiß gar nicht wo man anfangen soll... 1. braucht man teilweise mehrere Logins, um sich für einen Lauf anmelden zu können. Manche Logins funktionieren einfach nicht (alleine drei Fälle in meinen Freundskreis) 2.Die App beschwert sich regelmäßig über den GPS-Empfang, schaut man sich dann die Karte in der App an, ist die Position korrekt. Alle Hinweise wurden im Vorfeld beachtet. Die gleiche Strecke laufe ich übrigens mit STRAVA/GoogleFit und PokemonGo PARALLEL an, da hat sich noch nie jemand über den Empfang beschwert. 3. Der GPX-Export am Ende funktioniert nicht (Meldung ``leerer Inhalt``) beim Export. 4. Es werden Ergebnisse von Finishern ohne eine Meldung einfach so aus der Ergebnisliste entfernt, ohne Rückmeldung wieso oder weshalb 5. Meine Ergebniszeit in der Liste weicht fast ganze fünf Minuten von der Zeit ab, die mir nach ``Zieleinlauf`` in der App angezeigt und die auch von meiner Smartwatch so gestoppt wurde."

"I had a nice run. During the run I was updated every once in a while about my progress. I finished my run. But ViRace never registered me as having started or finished. And there is no place where I can go for feedback or questions about this. Very frustrating!"

"Has potential but not there yet. Used for Virtual Great North Run and it started great with the warm-up, commentary, crowd noises and even red arrows buzzing past! But after about 3 or 4km... Nothing. Didn`t record time or GPS accurately (I get GPS sometimes but not for 15 odd km and no excuse for time! Was around 10mins out from my garmin) and had no further commentary or noises throughout. Such a shame as could have been a fantastic experience! Obviously a lot of bugs to fix!"

"I am changing from 1 to 2 stars to acknowledge the update from viRACE team. #### Original Review ##### I installed viRACE to take part in Virtual Great North Run. The search didn`t work in the sense that it was showing me the race but now allowing me to select the same. On race day, the app downloaded modules and then kept showing Loading... and repeating the message that GPS signal is not there. This is the place where I use other GPS Apps regularly with no issues. Finally, I had to switch on Runkeeper and get on with running. It was very frustrating to be lined up to run Half Marathon and not being able to live experience due to App issues. I am on Android 9."
