CrossFit Games Reviews

I love some of the features of CrossFitGames, but the glitches— omg. Who did they hire to write CrossFitGames?! It’s super evident that development was rushed and there were no quality checks. I’m currently in the -1,892nd percentile for students 🤣because the program used my worldwide ranking instead of my student ranking to compute the progress bar. I’m having the same issue with the Tennessee leader board. Looks like there are a bunch of variable/copy paste bugs. Also the functionality is pretty pitiful. I’d like to be able to follow more than one athlete. Look at my scores from previous years. Link to athletes’ profiles from the leader board. But none of these features exist. I wanted to contact the developer directly but when I pressed “contact us” it said that my “phone not set up for email” or something to that effect. I am really excited for what CrossFitGames could become but currently it really needs some TLC.

Glad there is an app this year. I downloaded CrossFitGames tonight and played around with and and was impressed. The Leaderboard is fantastic and easy to use and filter to see where you really stack up. I’m excited to see this feature when the Open starts in a few weeks. I will update once the Open starts to see how well it functions with the release of each workout. So far, so great

This is a poorly designed app. There’s some functionality that is available on CrossFitGames that’s not on the website and a lot on the website that’s not available on CrossFitGames . The weirdest one is that on CrossFitGames , when you look at a custom leaderboard it doesn’t tell you the ranking. I’m pretty sure it’s in the order of rank, but it doesn’t tell you the number. So if you’ve got your entire gym in that leaderboard you’ve gotta start counting. But that doesn’t work, because it’ll randomly glitch and move the screen up or down and you’ll lose your spot.
Also, the fact that to submit your score you have to leave CrossFitGames is just bizarre.

App all of a sudden stopped working. When I pull it up I keep getting a message saying “Something went wrong.. Uh Oh.” I’ve done all the updates, restarted, uninstalled & reinstalled, cleared history & cache... nothing.
Update: CrossFitGames is working again. Support promptly responded to my inquiry and informed me they were aware of the issue. They won me back 😊

Seems like last years app was even worse than this so people gave 5 stars but to me, a first time user, app is still crap. Hangs, crashes, freezes, doesn’t display my customerleader boards, pretty much does nothing, not sure why CrossFitGames exists?

Edit: Dropped one more star. App doesn’t even display the leaderboards correctly. When I scroll down below my level list glitches erases most of the list including me till I close and re open CrossFitGames . There is no way to scroll down below my level on the leaderboard. Good job guys, nice “app” or should I say college project.

I participated in the games for the first time in 2017 and took last year off. What a huge improvement in all areas for CrossFitGames /web-site!!! It’s so easy to enter scores, log in, and it gives you so much more information without wasting time. Thank you for making this a fun experience!

CrossFitGames has always been clunky and weird to use, but you use it for one specific purpose for a very limited time of the year so I’m not too upset about that. I am bummed percentiles went away this year and they don’t make it easy to find out the total number of participants so that I could do the calculation myself

I love CrossFitGames! It’s easier access than last years crossfit app and layout is much more slick. It shows the current leaderboard and the work outs. One thing I would change is the ability to follow more than one athlete. I personally have three that I’m rooting for and it would be cool to follow all three Overall CrossFitGames is solid.

After a year absence, glad to see CrossFitGames back. The most important feature is the ability to enter scores, which we can’t assess until the Games starts. Another great feature of the past has been taken away - the ability to create and save custom leaderboards.

I’m a 14 year old that think the first time I saw Crossfit I ask my self what it was and I realized that is the best think that could ever happen to me I got the chance to learn this wonderful experience and I’m ready to star a part of my life here I come Crossfit games.

Halfway through the open my leaderboard/ranking in my country/age group disappeared and a bunch of leaderboards that don’t really mean much to me started showing up. CrossFitGames still shuts down for no reasons occasionally and it will only link to my profile about half the time. It is good for entering scores and the leaderboards are great except when they just disappear.

The rankings it shows me on my leaderboard do not match the scores on the website. My overall rank, rank and view leaderboard rank are all different. (Overall is showing my rank before a score was validated, rank is giving score after validation, leaderboard is show a rank as of this morning.) This is also true on the regionals ranking. It appears to not be updating consistently when new scores are validated.

Overall rank is a pretty important feature for a leaderboard app. The only way i’ve found is to count from the top down. It does show rank on the individual workouts, but not overall.

I want to see how my buddies are doing within our state/gym and other custom leaderboards.

The leaderboard on the website has this, and i try to stick to it when i remember, but the convenience of having an app with this basic feature would be nice.

Another basic feature I’m surprised CrossFitGames doesn’t have is the ability to click on a user and see their profile, like which gym they are from, how they did last year etc (which you can do on the website)

I would like to see the filter include age/age range so that the non games athlete can compare him/herself against other athletes of their age during the open. This is particularly relevant for athletes older than 60. It’s a pretty vast range these days. Two years ago CrossFitGames had this feature so it’s definitely doable. Thanks for listening.

Leaderboarding is a verb. Toggling through countless leaderboards comparing yourself be region, age, profession. It’s very cool to see people you know on here, then text them and talk trash. I love the open for this reason and CrossFitGames is the portal into that world of comparison.

CrossFitGames is poorly designed. When I view the leader board it shouldn’t go to where I placed instead it should go to the leaders and have my placement at the top with my rank. The way it’s designed now when I view the leader board it goes to my spot, then I have to scroll for days if I ever want to see the top. The website is poorly designed too. If I click on custom leaderboards it shouldn’t take me to a page that describes what a custom leader board is.

Not a very well designed app. The developers should have done more UX testing and made improvements based on how actual users want to use CrossFitGames . I want to follow multiple athletes from my box, but you can only follow one person and if you follow another it bumps the first one out. Also, when looking at athletes in the leaderboard, you can only see their ranking but not their # of reps in 19.1.

Keeps you updated with the leaderboard, worldwide, regional, and even your home box. Tracks all Open workouts and stats current and past years. Shows RX, scales, teen and masters instructions. And even tips to follow!

Great way to see the individual/team rusts for each event as a drop down under their name, but, a search field in the athletes category so you can just look up a name and also just put a number ranking them would make it rad

I like the way they update points and standings. I would like to see an alerts system so we could see events first hand. My family loves watching CrossFit.
