RTRT me Reviews

I “tracked” my cousin on RTRTme for the entire marathon and was planning on cheering him on around mile 23. It said he was almost a mile away from my location when all of the sudden he passed me. I was totally caught off guard and didn’t get a picture because I thought he was still 10 min away. My other family members were at a different location of the race, and RTRTme said he already passed when he hadn’t yet. We were all very confused. I don’t see the point in “tracking” a person when it’s not actually their location. Milestones were accurate, but the tracker was terrible. I would have been better off not using RTRTme at all.

I downloaded RTRTme to help train for a marathon that’s coming. I was quickly disappointed when I found I had to have my phone with me for it to track. The main reason for getting a fitness device was to not have to carry my phone and still have all the fitness apps. I started the practice race with my phone but dropped my phone off at the 4 mile mark. I lost several miles because it did not sync with my watch. 20 miles not recorded.

I go support my brother at races every month and this is by far the best app. I gave it 4 stars because it stopped tracking for about 5mi. It was si easy to use, the map was incredibly helpful and the timing was precise. I hope more races use RTRTme.

As a spectator, RTRTme does a good job of tracking a runner enabling family and friends to know where the runner is on the course. However, I noticed that the tracking was very precise at the 11 mile mark of a marathon, but by mile 24 it was off about 1/4 of a mile. I was standing at the 24 mile marker waiting for the runner to pass. The tracker was showing the runner at 24.2 although she had not yet passed. Still, a great help to keep up with a runner’s progress.

Good app. Tracking my son’s progress was remarkably accurate. Very helpful. Suggestion to improve: include on the tracker the location of the phone so I can more easily figure out where I am compared to where he is. (Obviously - I’m not the runner but the supporter trying to catch up to him at various places along the route.). Thanks

Will RTRTme track and runs anywhere so others can track where you are at and how would they track you

I have used a couple race apps and even though I was injured during this “run” I appreciated the ease of use, the ability to know just where I was and seeing my pace as well as average pace.

Usually when running different apps with each other there can be conflict with one another. RTRTme was easy to setup and I didn’t have to adjust anything during the run which was great. As it’s still in beta it’s got bugs but would definitely like to test and use it more since map my run is super annoying.

I used RTRTme to watch my husband, 4 friends and a local athlete hero ski the Birkie. I loved watching them make progress on the course and I was excited for each of their finishes, even from the comfort of home. Loved the split times, estimated finish time, and /km times.

First time using RTRTme and had “0” problems. User friendly, located GPS easily and quickly, talked you through the mile markers, and had the results immediately

Watched our family members from start to finish the Falmouth Road Race 2021! Great to watch them on the map and also tracks their average pace and estimated completion time. RTRTme was so easy to use. Thank you!

My first time using RTRTme. Loved watching my friends efforts on the tracking and maps. Great that I could pull up others nearby and see how they ran in relation to them. Looking forward to my next time they run in a race that uses your app.

With the great assistance and prompting from TrackShack and RTRT, I just completed my first 5K race since I underwent two major back surgeries. RTRT made it easy and motivating for me to know how I was doing during the run. Thanks! I so look forward to my next race, and the help that I’ll receive from RTRT.

This was a fantastic app! I followed 3 people and this made it fun and enjoyable! Loved the push notifications and it was super easy to follow folks on the map. And really great having the splits and the “when expected” info. I sure hope this is available next year!!

My friends just finished the Columbus half and full marathons, and RTRTme did a great job of keeping their races straight. RTRTme was very accurate and we were able to predict when we would see our runners at our different vantage points.

Handy app to track athletes during and after race. Easy to find your peeps using bib # or name. Gives a predicted finish time too - so useful when you need to be at the finish for the last encouragement or to catch them after crossing the line!

Dl’d this to track my friends and family for CIM. It was easy to find my race and my people! Loved all the options for looking through the race and that it gave me in the moment updates. The notifications were useful and not overwhelming. Looking forward to following other races.

This is great technology and free. What a great way to check on a runner in a race and get to a point to watch them. My only suggestion would be make it easier to find the nav to pin the users location I stumbled upon it while another parents app prompted Them to share their location automatically. By doing this you
Can see where you are In relation to the runners. Great for nav through neighborhoods to get to aid stations.

You’re asked if you are this runner or a supporter. Then a map with your runner is on it. It’s in real time with regular updates.
I was so thankful to be able to follow my son. He’s trained really hard. This is his first qualifying race and I think the fact that he finished is wonderful. His time looks outstanding to me. But it will be submitted and they let you know.
Thank you for allowing me to be there! Love RTRTme! Bravo!

I did a lot of virtual runs over the summer and you just had a clock it yourself and it was never quite right the right distance and everything but RTRTme was excellent in clocking exactly the mileage needed

Great way to keep track of my son in this race! Or I should say event. Only thing better would be a quick pic of each water station so we could see the riders. Thank you!

What a amazing way to track your friends and make sure you can meet and cheer them along the way. Love the alerts you receive along the way as well.

Excellent app! I didn’t have to constantly check where my rider was at. RTRTme pinged me at his every start & go with times. I had to coordinate my schedule with the route to pick him up at the finish line. Thank you!!

My husband is over 80 and I’m over 70. RTRTme was simple to set up and allowed us to track our daughter and son-in-law. Better than standing along the course.

Not sure what the problem was last year but RTRTme worked beautifully this time. Able to keep track of my peeps from afar!

RTRTme give accurate real time information and it details the main aspects of the runner one is following. I’m impressed that it shows where the runner is on the course.

1st time user of RTRTme . So amazing. I felt like I was literally running the race with my friend.
Makes me want to participate in upcoming 1/2 marathons and maybe even a full marathon someday. It was great seeing the time splits and getting the pace info instantly. -MM

My friends and family were able to watch my progress throughout my race and be a part of the day.
