5K parkrunner results 4+

This app has so many useful features. My only reservation was the event number challenges and they’ve mostly been removed now: I have made a donation to thank you for that decision.

I just have two wee quibbles. One is that the p index doesn’t count volunteering in the way other challenges do. The other is that the price quoted on the membership fee doesn’t include VAT so it goes up on the payment page. The difference is small but it’s not really how things are done in the U.K. The price advertised should be the total price you pay.

That apart the app is superb. I love being able to find my friends’ barcodes if they’ve forgotten theirs. I love that volunteering can (optionally) count towards most challenges - please fix the p index though. I love the feature that gives the total day’s attendance with volunteering and running combined. As an ED I can get people’s volunteer history (for Duke of Edinburgh for example) faster and more accurately than from the website or webfms.

But what I love most of all is the way the app supports the true ethos of parkrun - promoting volunteering, removing the small number of challenges that cause problems for event teams - rather than feeding the egos of a small number of extreme challenge chasers. This is an app that genuinely supports parkrun where some others think parkrun exists to support their app. Excellent job, keep it up.

I’ve downloaded 3 different apps that allow you to track your performance at parkrun events. Each have their merits, and all work better on an iphone than the official parkrun app, which appears to crash all the time.

This one is by far and away the most beautifully laid out, easy to use, and full of helpful information. I especially like being able to plan future parkruns as part of my new parkrun tourism obsession.

The challenges are all easy to track too, and the map that shows ‘Nearest parkrun not done yet’ is also a great tool, as are options to look up all parkruns in your country starting with a particular letter.

All in all this is an excellent app, and it’s incredible that it’s free. I’d be happy to make a one-off payment, although I’m less keen to sign up to a recurring payment through Patreon.

All kudos to the developer who has created a first class app, much appreciated and widely used by - I’m guessing - hundreds or thousands of runners. Well done and many thanks.

I love this app for easily seeing my own parkrun history and achievements but I also use it to write a parkrun report for my club each week. It would be great if you could bring back the FT and PB identifiers in the club results as I now have to go looking for these in individual parkrub results or in peoples’s profiles which takes a lot longer! Also we’d really like to shout out and encourage volunteering in the club so if it was possible to also add volunteering to the club results that would be great too. Thanks
