5K App

My go-to app. Track progress towards the various challenges (e.g. Alphabet, Cowell club, Pirates, Position Bingo) plus find a parkrun, track your friends, etc. and display your barcode.
Apple - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/5k-parkrunner-results/id1481416790
Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.claytonindustries.parkrun
parkrunner App
Similar functionality to 5K App.
Apple - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/parkrunner/id1422416889
Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrishopkin.parkrunner
Note: This has a different icon to the iOS version so it may not be the same app.
Running achievements (Smadges) App

Similar to the above apps but aesthetically not my favourite.

Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.HollettGaming.RunningAchievements

parkrun App (official)
Compares poorly with 5K, etc. Apparently it has not been updated since 2016 - avoid.

Regionnaire
