RaceJoy (Race Joy) for Android
This app got me threw my very first race and I love this app
This was so much fun during my race! Loved the cheers!
Really fun to use! It was nice to be able to track progress and get little notifications when my friend reached milestones. The cheer function is really fun. Great app for endurance events.
I used this app to monitor my my race use as a way for my friends to send me messages to cheer me in. It kept my place, told me how I was doing and an estimated time for completing the race. It read to me the messages I was sent aloud so I never had to look at it.
This was a great app for my first half marathon. I love the cheers you get and so easy to track your pace. Would highly recommend for ANY race.
Very much enjoyed this app. Liked having my family be able to track me in my full marathon
I used this app and loved it, my family was able to track my progress and cheer me on. It was amazing, can't wait to use it again!!
Loved using this app. Has cool features and made it very easy for my family to track me. Wish all races would use this app.
Doesn't have accurate tracking, missed my husband go through the finish line and i had been actively tracking him, it said he was still 1/4 mile away. Got a notification an hr later that he was close to the finish line after we were home
I use for my races...Love it!!!
Downloaded this but then it only allowed tracking for the half marathon, even though main race of the day was the marathon! Likely a glitch in program. Also should show running results through each split. They should try to learn from the Boston Marathon app, which is infinitely better.
Have had trouble with apps like this in the past. My wife and I both ran this year and we wanted to track our runs and each other. I called to see if we could and they clarified the settings. Race day went off without a problem and finding each other afterwards was easy. Could not be more impressed.
I've used this app for 2 races. Live tracking works nicely especially today when it was below 40 degrees at the start. My husband was able to take our 5 year old back to the hotel and he knew exactly when to head back to catch me at the finish. So convenient.
I used this app today for the Flying Pig Marathon and it was awesome and my family and friends really enjoyed tracking me as well. Great app!
So easy. Loved the updates on the course.
Wow this app sucks. Do not waste your time downloading it
Stop with the notifications. App is
Confusing app, confusing menus, confusing navigation, confusing everything. Why can't I just track someone who is running a race?
Worked well during a recent half marathon. The distance was slightly off after mile 8 but my wife was able to cheer me and see my progress on her phone. The timer began before I crossed starting line, 15 or so second. I liked the estimated finish times. I think there can be enhancements to the app so that it's easier to use.
I used this for a recent half marathon. It was motivating to hear my pace and expected finish time every mile! My family was able to track me and send me cheers along the way, which was amazing! It tracked me accurately until mile 12, when I entered the woods, but it picked back up right after that. I hope all races use this- I loved it!!
App worked well during my recent half marathon. Pace per mile werent accurate, but overall pace was very close to real time. My family used it to track my location and that worked well. Overall, I was pleased.
I loved hearing my splits and all my friends and family sending me cheers along the race. My half marathon was way more enjoyable!
I think this app is great it life wife and kids be digitally at my race with out getting up at 5 to go. Hope it grows to all races.
This app is awesome. Not only does it alert the participant of their progress, but it also alerts anyone following the participant on their phone. Awesome app. Highly recommend
It was so nice getting the cheers from my family while I was running. They came right when I needed them! I loved the APP!
Recently used this app at a half marathon Kept my wife informed of my location the whole way so she could get photos
Worked wonderfully, and barely used any battery life during my recent 1/2 marathon!
Worked great, my family was able to keep track of my progress and cheer me on.
Worked well for 1/2 Marathon recently.
Worked perfectly!
First time to do a 5 K, forgot my fitbit , glad I did.. this app was awesome, I knew where I was on the course and my pace and when I should finish. I was able to give my peeps a heads up so they could watch me cross the finish line.
Great app. Loved the cheers from my family and friends.
I love the concept and encourage the developer to keep at it. I got timing updates at Space Cost but not live timing for my wife even though we thought we started it. The problem with the app is it's confusing navigation... A mix of top menus, hidden menus, buttons and dialogs. As a fellow software dev I would suggest ...at least on Android...a visit to the material design standards and a rework of the application flow. Fantastic idea but the app just needs work.
Great app.
Great app for racers and spectators. Both need to activate the app!! One the runner activates the gps, you can use it for updates and live tracking. Cheer is a great feature where you can send motivational messages over a runner's headphones. Dev - Please amend the feature to break through songs, etc. Otherwise they're too hard for the runner to hear. Also consider adding a voice feature to record your own 5 sec audio. Thank you, highly recommend!
Just ran my first half marathon and RaceJoy made it great! My family loved being able to track me throughout the rout and were able to be there to cheer for me at 4 different locations. I loved the updates every mile, especially my average pace and expected finish time. That, and the cheers from my friends and family, really helped keep me stay on track and meet my goal time. What a great experience! Thanks to the race organizers for covering the $.99 for participants and spectators!
I downloaded the app for the first time for a race this weekend. I used the progress report, cheers and tracking features for my family. It was great. I had no technical issues and I could leave my phone in the back of my belt pouch and still hear the updates and the cheers come through. This is a great tool. And the cheer feature would be awesome on courses where it is hard for spectators to get around or if you are at a race solo.
The cheers really helped us make it through the last tough miles! I love that friends & family can track you even if they can't be there physically.
App was easy to use and it was great hearing all the encouragement throughout the race! I really needed it on mile 12! Friends who tracked me liked seeing my progress even though they were miles away.

Great, first time user, on my ninth mile, it stopped momentarily but then kicked back on according to my daughter who was tracking me
