Your App

Every event on events.gofo.rest automatically gets its own Progressive Web App (PWA) for iOS and Android – with news, results, participant profiles, and live updates, with no installation required for participants.

The gofo.rest Event App

The gofo.rest app is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that participants and spectators can open directly in their browser – or add to their smartphone's home screen to use it like a native app. No App Store download is required.

The app presents all content from your event website in a mobile-optimised layout: start times, route maps, results, news, and sponsor information. Participants receive push notifications about start time changes and new results.

App Features

  • Event information – description, date, location, and route map
  • Registration – direct online registration and payment via the app
  • Results – live results lists and personal time breakdown
  • GPS tracking – route recording via the app (opt-in for participants)
  • News & updates – posts and announcements from the organiser
  • Shop – merchandise ordering directly from the app
  • Push notifications – reminders, start time changes, results

iOS & Android

The gofo.rest app is available as a native app for iOS and Android in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Participants can download the app and sign in with their account to access all event features.

Tipp   Even without downloading the app, participants can use all features via their mobile browser – the PWA works on any modern smartphone.
