This app may use your location even when it isnt open, which can decrease device battery life.
Pros and cons of B.A.A. Marathon app for iPhone and iPad
B.A.A. Marathon app good for
Worked well to see course and to track generally although was inaccurate by a couple of blocks
I love how it allows you to track the runners you wish to follow along with updates throughout the weekend from the BAA.
-Dates leading up to & date of marathon listed are wrong on schedule section of app
-Also location of bus pick up is different than listed on BAA site
-Looks as if app has 2016 info & was not updated for 2017
*Updated review - app has been updated- PERFECT! April 13, 2017
Participant tracker gets wiped each time you guys update. 3rd time Im having to enter folks in..
I loved being able to track My Heroes during the marathon. And I love that you call them My Heroes
Some bad moments
App won’t link to my bib number when providing all of the correct info.
The only thing this is good for is locating bib numbers. Tracker didnt work at all. Race was over and the status was still "they havent started"
I was so excited to watch my moms progress in the Marathon today from SC. I was able to search her by bib number, and her name appeared with some basic race info, but when it came to the actual race I could NOT get it to work! Its either a glitch or it is NOT user-friendly. I had to use the full sight on my web browser to be able to track her. Very disappointing. That was the only reason I got the app!
Participant login doesnt work and the countdown clock isnt accurate.
Not working! Still says participants Im tracking havent started yet. BAA.org site indicates otherwise with their time.
Looked up my runner by bib, it found my runner, wouldnt save it then wont find them by by number again. This app is terrible.
