RaceAddict 4+

I love this app to help keep me straight, but I wish there was a way to share my schedule with friends

I’m giving this a five because I haven’t found an app that’s better than this one for races. Yes, I could use a spreadsheet, but I really like having a dedicated app to keep track of what races I’m interested in, have I registered or not, where packet pick up is, and how I did in the end.

It does a great job of helping sift through the data, too. If I want to see my time for every 5k in order of finish time, I can. If I want to see how much I’ve spent on race registrations in a particular year or even since I started running (I probably don’t want that figure), I can see it quickly.

Two things I can suggest for improvement. For some reason, the date picker doesn’t always work as it should, at least on iPhone 13 in iOS 15 and 16. That can be frustrating.

The second thing is that I wish I could back up my data. There may be a way but I haven’t seen it. I’m not going anywhere, but I have races back to 2011 in there, and it would be nice to know I have everything backed up in the (hopefully) unlikely event that the app is no longer supported at some point.

Anyway, I’m grateful for one of the few apps I’d be just crushed if I couldn’t use anymore. It’s for sure 5 stars for me.

I’ve been using this app since it launched. Best $1.99 I’ve ever spent! I am a true Addict with at least 1 Race (if not more) every weekend. I’ve come to rely on it for keeping track of my races and times. No more spreadsheets that you can’t access on your phone on the go. After over 4 years of using this app, I’ve only experienced 2 problems. When I had entered over 100 races, the app didn’t display that many. I promptly messaged them and they went to work on a fix/update. Then this weekend there was an iOS problem with logging on. I messaged them again and received a prompt answer that they were working on a fix. Awesome communication and I suggest messaging them with your problems before leaving a bad review!
