ACTIVE - Fitness Events Positive Reviews
NiceJust looking at application as I would normally do this from a desktop. Nice seeing event, but it would be nice to filter better. I am not looking for events for kids and the majority of the ones I saw were for kids. Also, I imagine it would be nice to search for kid only events. For running, it would be nice to break down trail versus road, (there are at least 4 running categories and walking) also it may be nice to break down race size. I saw many mis-matches, cycling - mountain biking events (why waste it with 2 categories) and there is a category for mountain biking, 10Ks listed under 5ks, I imagine this is discouraging to someone new to working out and racing..LynSqdVersion: 2.7.8
I would definitely recommendThe app overall is great for finding races nearby, or in other cities you wish to run in. My only complaints are the virtual runs that are listed as actual races-they should remain in the virtual category. Also, I wish it included all races in that area, aside from those registered with Active. I'll go through the app and then go on another website to see which ones are not listed. It would be easier if it was all in one place.AllygfjkhgdeyoofVersion: 2.8.0
Delay in list caused errorI was doing my race calendar, and registering on this app, but things so not show up in the list right away. So using the list of upcoming in the app Les me to believe I hadn't registered yet for one of my events. Because of this I registered again. Then both registrations showed up in the list. I've been fruitlessly contacting both Active as well as the race director to get one registration cancelled and refunded. So far it's been a week and no reply. Hope I'm not stuck paying double because of the lag in displaying my upcoming.
Aside from that, it's convenient that most every race can be registered here, even using my Rock N Roll Series Tour Pass. That was surprisingly nice and easy..Display lag costlyVersion: 2.7.9
Awesome AppI like this app for the most part Although it could be a lot smoother it seems a bit slow and buggy at times. Also they should try and capture more of the local races around still find it misses a few. Still I would recommend as it make the whole process of signing up for events simple..Lexmmed1942Version: 2.8.0
Great appHandy app.
Only suggestion -- for the past few years the app has links to each event’s website, and the links never work. On top of that, the website is hidden using a complicated url that gives no hints what the actual url is. How about a simple reference to the event’s website so we can easily read more about the event before or after we register..Read JohnstonVersion: 2.8.9
Frustrating at timesThe mobile app is good with looking like the actual website but the problem I have is some events show up on the website but not the app. I’m currently looking at a race I want to do on the website but cannot find on the mobile app. Would be great if each event had a reference number or at least an email button to send to friends to prevent this shortfall from preventing friends from missing an event..LilhabVersion: 2.7.8
It's a good app for what I needI downloaded the app to find local races. It let me do exactly that. Plus it did show the races I've completed that I registered for THROUGH ACTIVE, and linked me to the results. I'm about to use the couch to 5k training program they have on here too because I haven't run for a while and my wife's never done a 5k..MryergerVersion: 2.7.8
Great everywhereI travel frequently through out the year and I love using this app to find local races no matter where I am. It only shows races that use ACTIVE, so it doesn't always show all the possible races in the area. It would be nice if it showed all races in the area but distinguished which ones you can register with ACTIVE..WordlytravelerVersion: 2.7.8
Not exact match with computer versionRegistration summary on mobile app not available with details that are available via website , for example race day transportation payment and race day pick up available via website, but not via mobile app.Natey82Version: 2.7.8
Decent but lacks good event search capabilitiesI find the app useful when I know an event that exists but I'm always disappointed when I try to search for events. Like other said it is hard to filter out some of the miscellaneous for kids items. And I have kids who I would like to search for events for, for example use triathlons, but there is no way to do that easily on the app..SmbaMomVersion: 2.7.8
Sad!Can’t see my results for any of my past races. From old reviews I see there are no plans to ever fix this. Too bad! Could be great and motivate me to enter more races, but nah, I guess I’ll just do my usual runs that my friends already do. I’ll check back each year to see if you guys ever get serious about the App! Good luck!.MtensignVersion: 2.8.9
Good search tool; Some events aren’t listed.The app has pretty nice and easy to use Search and Filter options. The profile section is great since it keeps your Completed races. My only issue is when I search for races, that not all appear to be listed..Sushi-pandaVersion: 2.8.0
Great AppThis is a great way to keep track of all my events. Just wish that all my races would be here, but since I can't figure out why some are not I can't complaint because it might very well be a user error..JustsmilingVersion: 2.7.8
GoodThe only complaints I have are,
1. virtual races are mixed in with actual races and
2. no way to separate races that are, family friendly and adult only, also
3. Wish there was a section that had multi-distance races (offers, 5k-10k-Half-Full-kids 1/2 mile etc).AnahoyVersion: 2.8.0
Great app to register for all sorts of Runs/RacesI like the fact you can register for all sorts of events and you'll be good togo. My only problem with the app is when you click on links from the app it doesn't really go anywhere. Jus stays loading and loading and nothing happens. Even when you review results..Highly ExplosiveVersion: 2.8.0
Lots of race infoThis app has info on any kind of race you want & it’s easy to register for them. However results don’t often load & can’t find links to race photos so follow up could be improved..Med MaryVersion: 2.8.6
Great app may be even betterGood app but when you select a past event you still need to look for the results when they should pop up directly ... for the rest it is awesome !.AntonosirfVersion: 2.8.0
Better filtersI don’t want to receive emails for events I’m not interested. I want to filter what events I get notified by email. Also, I want the app to only show me events I want to see. Please allow us to filter more and be more detailed. I would like to see obstacle course races as a category too. Thanks..Klpeeples1Version: 2.8.0
Fix filter!Filter system inefficient and inaccurate. Can’t figure out how to add an event if I registered for the event before downloading the app. It only seems to want to add it by trying to force me to register all over again. Other apps are just easier to use for this purpose..LuhlarVersion: 2.8.0
How I feel ❤️Active app has always been my go to app to see what’s up on the agenda when it comes to competition. The app is easy to use and well I just love it thank you Active 😘.Rebelmike120Version: 2.8.0
Very informativeLove this app! Contains lots of race information, even for the virtual ones that help keep you active in the winter months when you can only work out at home!
Thank you.ItsmelodyVersion: 2.7.8
Filter needs workThe website has a horrible filter. This app is much better but wonky.
The website doesn’t see items you favorite in the app.
Not a great app or website, but it’s better than nothing..Pamela1234!!!!Version: 2.8.9
Okay appMy events that are upcoming keep disappearing and the record of events I have completed isn’t accurate and it is frustrating when trying to prove I have paid for an event. My Apple wallet holds all my event information and is way more accurate.IdrielVersion: 2.8.0
Great Customer Service!!Kudos!! Definitely worth it. Great Customer Service. I also got my freebies(ex: $90 check after my 3rd race, compression socks etc) very fast. Love Active👏.JlapusVersion: 2.8.7
Doesn’t work anymore :(Really liked being able to pull up my past and upcoming races. Unfortunately, the app stopped working. Hopefully, they fix soon..Alex_andra❤Version: 2.8.6
Health and fitness at your fingertipsI like how everything health and fitness related is in one convenient spot. Events are easy to find and sign up for. No complaints here :-).SteflishVersion: 2.8.0
Been a while but it feels greatI have not used this app in years, but it looks cleaner and it is easy to find races and descriptions of races before I register..TuckaveliVersion: 2.8.0
Very solidIf you’re a racer, this app makes registration really simple. I’d give it 5 stars for that feature alone. The shopping is a bonus.Radar bestVersion: 2.8.3

ACTIVE - Fitness Events Negative Reviews
Doesn’t WorkSo far, this app is way behind the technology race in that it simply doesn’t work. In fact, all it really does is show my upcoming events. But when you click on them to get more information, it says their servers are down… and, this has been the story since installing this app.
I was thinking about a paid version since I’m planning on doing more races this year… but I’d worry that this would be the case even with a paid version!!!
Server issues like this could mean a lot of things including IT security!!! I do hope you work this out sooner than later!.Marketing San DiegoVersion: 2.8.6
ACTIVE ADVANTAGE SCAMDo NOT sign up for any races using Active. They will AUTOMATICALLY, without having to check any boxes, enroll you into a ‘free’ trial for Active Advantage which auto renews and unless you pay close attention to your emails, you will have no idea. Yearly auto renew is $80. The kicker…you can’t cancel on the website. You have to email them and they have to start the process for you. Not only is this the most deceptive enrollment technique I’ve seen used before, it’s also the least efficient and hardest way to unenroll from the auto renew..Nunya1987Version: 2.8.9
HorribleThis is the worst app it doesn’t do anything you can’t claim you’re registration and I called customer service please don’t get me started they give you the runaround. First you can’t find the # you have to google it then you call it it’s no help and you have to call another # smh ridiculous. Luckily who you talk to is very polite and try to be helpful but it is really nothing they can do. I just wanted to transfer my registration it shouldn’t be that hard but apparently it is. A bad experience I doubt I use them again. So no more mud runs. THANKS..NilaraVersion: 2.8.0
Beware! There’s a hidden button that charges you $90!I have used the Active website to purchase 5k runs and others..BUT when you use the app they have a little box checked somewhere..and I’m savy don’t get me wrong..but apparently they need memberships so badly they’ll underhandedly check that box and wham! You’ve just purchased a $90 membership you never wanted. Just a heads up. Also, when you call in they’ll make you feel like you just changed your mind...not apologizing and taking any of the blame. Maddening..KaydchurcharooVersion: 2.8.0
Ability to filter is very limitedI was looking for an ultra marathon, in the fall. Preferably 50 miles. Thinking a search of 50 miles or 50 miler, anywhere in the US, would be enough to find races of 50 miles. The search results included 15+ different triathlons and a series of 5k’s. This app is a coat hanger abortion. Just terrible. It appears that the sponsored events appear as the top search results, regardless of their relevance. Imagine if you searched for iPhone cases on google, and 200 result for skateboards were the result. That’s what this app is. Smh.PhillyinatlVersion: 2.7.9
Not enough events, not enough member benefitsI’m trying our the premium membership... I was hoping to see more ways to use my premium membership in the app. It didn’t connect a race that I’ve signed up for prior to being a premium member. I found more race events with google... Obviously not every race uses Active. That’s sort of the core issue. This app only advertises their races and it’s less than a third of the events that I sign up for..Bcorner83Version: 2.8.0
Doesn’t cover all currently registered racesSo after spending a couple hours of my time and a friend’s time this morning trying to figure out why the heck 6 races she registered me for were not showing up, I realized they are on the website but not the app. Before you even ask, yes, it’s the same email address on the active web account as what I had logged into the app. Such a waste of time. App has been deleted. Get your stuff together Active.LadyKRiderVersion: 2.8.0
👎🏽Severely dislike the app. Pretty useless.
I downloaded this app for the sole purpose of keeping track of the race I just recently entered. To be fair, the website did not have any info neither despite the fact that I had just signed up a couple of days ago. But the app also didn’t have my family’s information to make it easy to sign everyone up for any future events.
I gave one star because the app does show ongoing events with open registrations..Asriah17Version: 2.8.0
Decent app could use some workOutside of the issues with filtering and finding exactly what you’re looking for, the lack of compatibility with screen resolutions for the last two generations of iPhones is frustrating. The mobile website gives you a better experience than the app which makes the app of limited use at best..MuteWitness9Version: 2.8.0
Be warned $I just wanted to sign up for a run, unfortunately through all the agreements and pop ups I mistakenly signed up for a free trial.
I couldn’t find an option to cancel on my account. I sent a simple email informing Active of my error and to please cancel. Queue the sales pitch they didn’t cancel.
I’ll be waiting for the charge to appear on my account and I’ll deal with my bank. What a shady company..Googz187Version: 2.8.9
Will not refundSigned up and paid for two events for three people. One event in March and the other one in November. March event got canceled, so they put it towards the same exact event in November. Now I’m double booked and paid for the same event. I tried contacting them, but nothing worked to get a refund from the canceled event. I would just be cautious when purchasing from this app or website...Black bean curlsVersion: 2.8.9
Do not sign upHonestly, do not sign up for this. You can just look at each race by googling races in your local town because they will charge you $90 and just take it out of your bank if you sign up through them and pay for all your tickets to a race a month later you’ll be charged another $90 to have this app so just go to the race site..PnabhgfyjjVersion: 2.8.9
Poor search, poor interface, mediocre supportJust tried to use the app and the website. Very poor search filters. No defaults (like events nearby or soon timeframe). Took several calls to fix login troubles. Could be much more useful but very slow/almost no development. I expect they are waiting on a buyer..GreenPeace3kVersion: 2.8.0
Active appThere is no point in owning the active app. I have an event coming up and my ticket doesn't even show up. I also tried registering in the event though active and it basically takes me to the mobile site with tons of annoying banner ads that gets in the way. If the active app is going to direct me to the mobile web page, I wouldn't need the app right?.LazyxnessVersion: 2.8.0
Doesn’t work in EuropeWorked fine in the states now it won’t pull up anything in my area. I know there are races because they pop up all the time on insta with active in a different language. But as soon as I open the app to look for activities I just get the ring of death.... tried to reinstall the app, turned off vpn and same outcome. Shouldn’t be this hard to search. Smh.Duffle bag 3333Version: 2.8.0
Not helpfulI'm looking for a century ride within 100 miles. If you tap cycling, you get crazy stuff such as a nature walk exploring life cycles. The categories must just be unthinking search terms, as opposed to organizer provided categories. Moreover, the filters don't allow you to choose a distance or skill level. I can do better on Google..LearnerprofVersion: 2.7.8
Filter troubleI travel around the southeast and am always looking for new races. I find it hard to search a specific city sometimes. I put the city in but it will always give me the last city I was in. It’s very frustrating. Please fix your search filters..Sgoodman452!!!!!Version: 2.9.0
Nothing worksI signed up for couple events that required Active App. I have connected them on a computer and even created teams, but when i look at the app on my phone none of the events are showing under my profile. No past, no future. What’s the point of having this up if you cannot see the event you signed up for.......HonoratkaVersion: 2.8.0
Nothing will loadThe app is super glitchy and I can’t get anything to load. It will sometimes show a list of upcoming events but then I touch one to see details it just “loads” forever. And it shows my past events but when I touch for details, same thing. Now it won’t even show me upcoming events..RebeccamcbaneVersion: 2.9.1
Needs serious face lift, difficult to useSeems like this app was made for the iPhone 3... needs a serious face lift, it’s also very difficult to use when purchasing a race admission. I bet it turns a lot of potential users away. Much like the Active website, they could definitely look at improving their user experience on both ends..Dr.JGWVersion: 2.8.0
TerribleThis app is terrible. I don’t know if people don’t register their event here but it never shows many events around my area and I know there are plenty. For example, I know of several half marathons within 100 miles of me and my search was done using the 500 mile radius. It shows nothing..Russell b.Version: 2.8.7
I don’t see the pointI don’t understand the purpose of that app and there is no customer service to help.

Crappy at bestWhen you go to the website it says “get the app”
Honestly. It’s a fricken waste of time. They don’t mesh. The information on one isn’t on the other. I can’t look at my group on the app and really I’m more frustrated then not.
For something that is supposed to save me time and help organize. I feel like I’ve lost time and now I’m just confused.

Worst App and site everI hate this app and the site. Half my events don’t come up and navigating the site and app is a nightmare. I really hope I don’t have to use this in the future. Worst thing ever. I have talked to one nice lady live with the company but then had to deal with two people that had no interest in helping me what’s so ever..Knob84Version: 2.8.0
Need to fix a few flawsThis could be a great app- it has all the concepts right, solid groupings of information and interesting documents and studies to be read
Where the app falls short, is that there is no way to actually read the documents in full - instead you are presented with the first paragraph or two with no ability to scroll down and finish reading the note/article- I suspect that the developers have no idea of the flaws. - if fixed I would rate the app a 5 Star.Nevergiveup;-)Version: 2.7.8
