Bring Your iPhone On A Dunkin' Run

June 22, 2009

If you are the unlucky one who is always picked to make a Dunkin' run, Dunkin' Donuts has released an app that should make those trips just a little bit easier to coordinate. dunkinrun_screenDunkin' Run is a new iPhone and iPod touch app that allows you to send invites to friends and co-workers which will allow them to choose items from a menu to construct an order that you can bring with you to the nearest Dunkin' Donuts. Here's how it works:
1. INVITE: Launch the app, and log in to start a Run. Now, you’re “the runner." Invite friends by email address or mobile phone number. 2. ORDER: Select your order from the menu. We'll contact your friends to do the same. 3. RUN: Go get the goods. We'll compile all orders for you, and you can print it out or display it on your iPhone or iPod Touch. 4. ENJOY! Bring the goodies back, and enjoy the deliciousness, along with the hero worship from your friends.
Dunkin' Run is available in the App Store for free, but there is one small catch.  The app requires you to sign up for an account on DunkinRun.com before you can even use it, which isn't much of a problem if the service is working as it should.  Many users have reported that they are having issues signing up and logging into the service, and we can only assume as a result of this difficulty, the app has received an average rating of two stars. I decided to give the service a try myself to see what the fuss was all about.  The registration confirmation email took a while to show up in my inbox after signing up, but it eventually did and I was able to get a Dunkin' run set up in no time, so it does work. Dunkin' Run is a great concept, so don't give up on it quite yet, just be patient.  Feel free to leave a comment below telling us if the service is working as it should for you.
