Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own Marathon Kids account to help scan?
A coach or authorized Supporter signs in to start a session. A helper can use Join Live Session from the login screen without creating an account.
Do I need internet access?
You need a connection to download the app, sign in or join a session, and upload scans. Once a device has joined a session, it can continue scanning offline and sync when reconnected.
