User reviews
Users appreciate Run Across America for its motivational challenges, progress tracking, and customer support, which help maintain regular walking or running routines. However, multiple reviews point out significant usability flaws: the app enforces landscape mode without portrait option, has frequent tracking inaccuracies, lacks manual entry features, and sometimes freezes or fails to update activities. These issues, combined with UI and accessibility challenges like keyboard obstruction and poor navigation, detract from the overall experience despite the app's good intentions and engaging features.

The first season I did Run Across America, it workes great. Now there's no good & easy way to see my runs, just a cumulation of my miles. It also isn't updating with my most recent run. The design is not intuitive an honestly frustrates me more to use it than just run without it. Bums me out because I like the idea of Run Across America.

Landscape only? Why not have a portrait mode like they used to? Makes looking around the site harder and logging information difficult because the keyboard covers up the screen. Also while running, you can't take a quick peek at the screen because it's the terrible zoomed in landscape mode. I like the programs but it's not user friendly anymore. And no, it's not just my phone - everyone is dropping out because it's frustrating
