1. [R3] 5/5 · US Love this ap!: Every time I need to get back into running I use this ap. It’s a great transitional program that anyone can use!
2. [R5] 5/5 · US Easy to use and exactly what I needed: After trying to get into running a few times and injuring myself purchased this app so that I can ease into a running routine. The interface is simple and easy to use and I can listen to my music at the same time while it gives me prompts as needed.
3. [R6] 5/5 · US Wish I could give 10 stars: I love this app so much. I love that it takes it slow and if you need to redo a run it optimizes it for you!
4. [R7] 5/5 · US Get the App - it works!: Love the app - it works . You make strides even without realizing it. Next thing you know you are running a 5k or 10k I started with 5k over 4 years ago Even with breaks in between, my lungs are way better than when I started . The thought of just running a mile used to exhaust me mentally- now I practically blink at one Great app and really helps you meet your goa
5. [R45] 5/5 · US Amazing!: Love this app! Perfect amount of coaching and I can play my running playlist on Spotify in the background.
6. [R47] 5/5 · US Like a Coach: I have the 5K and the 10K versions. Love them both. It’s so helpful to have the built-in coach telling me when to transition from walk to run throughout the workout. Would love to see you create a 5K and 10K Walk app for those of us that can’t run anymore. One that transitions from warm up, to brisk walk, and then intervals of brisk walking and power-walking. I do that now with the 5
7. [R65] 3/5 · US Gets the job done, but doesn’t sync workouts with Apple health: Using this app, I have had good success going from extremely unfit and unable to run for more than 5 minutes to slightly less unfit and able to run ridiculously slowly for 60 minutes. The timer and ability to adjust difficulty based on how workouts feel are great. You can listen to music or podcasts on your phone and the timer functio
8. [R14] 5/5 · US Yearly user: Completed my first 10K last fall with the aid of this fabulous app. Excited for at least two this summer.
9. [R16] 5/5 · US Best thing I have seen in YEARS!!: I can’t say enough about what this app has done for me. I used the 5k Runner and ran a 5k in December and now I am using it to train for a 10K. I used to run marathons and took about 8 years off and so basically started back at zero. The science behind this program worked so well with my brain and finally got me back to where I wanted to be. Highly recommend!!
10. [R34] 5/5 · US The impossible is possible: I’m late to writing this review since I started using it last year. After 17 years of doing nothing, I used this app to try to get back in shape and try to “run” for a change. I never thought I would be able to do it but this app allowed me to do just that. I went from not running at all to doing a 5K, then I joined a group in a relay for a half marathon, then did a 10K
11. [R2] 1/5 · US Not free: Presents itself as free in App Store. After multiple screens answering questions it hits you with a cost.
12. [R4] 1/5 · US Misleading “Free”: Giving a free 7 day trial for a 12 week running plan shouldn’t be listed as “in app purchases”. Once trial is expired an ad screen blocks you from further use until you either pay more monthly than for Netflix, or $40 for lifetime. App itself is good, but be honest upfront that this is a $40 app.
13. [R13] 1/5 · US Charged me for trial: I was offered a free trial for the app but after entering the trial I was charged $20 for my subscription the next day. I love this app and I would be happy to change my review when this is resolved
14. [R30] 1/5 · US Unless they give me back my lifetime subscription from before: I’m giving this 1 star. I already paid before. Also There used to be a free version and they take all your information and the survey is long on purpose to make you feel like you have to subscribe at the end. It’s a good app on its own, no need to be manipulative. Just make the survey voluntary and add a decline button. In its current
15. [R1] 3/5 · US A touch buggy.: The app is not syncing with the days of the week. I set up the app for the three runs to be on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. When I went to do my first ride on Tuesday, it had skipped ahead today too so that if I hit the start button, it would’ve been for run two not run one. Today is Thursday rather than being on run two for my Thursday run. It’s on run three. I went to use the
16. [R26] 1/5 · US Controls primitive: In this day and age, controls on apps are everything. I paid for this version, so it’s not because it’s free. It kept skipping segments of the workout and I couldn’t figure out why. Then I realized there’s a pause are the bottom with arrows on either side. If the arrow gets activated (which apparently doesn’t take much because even with gloves on (and no touch components in
17. [R40] 1/5 · US App resets constantly: The first 4 times I used the app it worked flawlessly. The last 3 times I used it the app would reset back to the beginning of the session 3 to 10 times during my run. I refuse to use the app as a new runner as using it was way more frustrating than the run/walk itself and only added frustration and took the fun out of it. Until I find something better I will not use The app
18. [R70] 1/5 · US USELESS: The only function this app offers that you can’t get a million other places for free is that it automatically tells you through your headphones when to run and when to walk. Unfortunately, it can’t even do that. When the run intervals exceed 8 minutes, 9 times out of 10 the app will glitch and not tell you to walk. Which is the worst then when you’re pushing yourself. Save your money.
19. [R73] 2/5 · US Unimpressed: Im on week 2 of this app and though i get the prompts when my workout is complete it does not log miles nor does it show my calories burned on my apple watch. My location is on not sure what the problem is. Otherwise i like it. Just would be nice to know my distance
20. [R102] 2/5 · US Just ok: Potential to be great! But not accurate…. Latest workout only measured heart rate up to 93… true max during workout was 186…. Only gives credit for the run portion of the workout on Apple Watch, not the entire session…. Per app I only burned 12 cal… inaccutate…. But with bug fixes, could be great! I enjoy having the interval alert. New to running, so will continue to use for the interval
21. [R107] 2/5 · US So many flaws: The app is good if you just want the run/walk intervals. I spent $40 and expected to not having any issues. The stats are INCREDIBLY inaccurate. If I’m paying for an app it should work correctly. I’ve reached out to customer service multiple times for assistance with no answer. I don’t think anyone actually works for this company. Overall, I’m extremely disappointed in this app.
22. [R29] 4/5 · US Reset and Goal Mod options needed: I think this is a great app, but I can’t find how to reset it after being away for a while, or how to modify my goal
23. [R33] 3/5 · US It’s Good, But…: I enjoy using this app and think it has the potential to be truly great. The interface is clean, the guided structure keeps me consistent, and the workouts are motivating. However, a few missing features hold it back from being as useful as it could be. There’s currently no way to indicate whether you’re running on a treadmill or outside, which makes tracking feel less accurate s
24. [R81] 3/5 · US App is pretty set: I wish you could customize your run
25. [R101] 3/5 · US I recommend this to everyone: I recommend this or the 5k version to everyone. This is by far the best 10K training plan I’ve ever come across. It is so perfectly designed to make each run hard enough but not too hard. I love it. The reason I only gave 3 starts was because it’s super frustrating that you can’t clear the app to train again. I wanted to retrain for a 10K after I hadn’t run in a whil
26. [R25] 1/5 · US Nothing without pacing advisement: Training means nothing if you don’t have advise about pace. This may as well be a zone 2 trainer
27. [R48] 3/5 · US It’s only 10K if your under a 10 minute mile: This has been a great app to increase my running endurance- but it’s all based on time, not distance. I got to the end today and “earned” the 10K badge- but, including the 10 minutes of walking and hour of running, I only completed 5.5 miles. It’s anticlimactic to complete a weeks-long program only to find that you didn’t meet your goal. I would guess
28. [R10] 2/5 · US Not a lifetime subscription: The app was good and helped with 10k training…but after a year they wanted to charge another $40. The plan I chose said “lifetime subscription” and “one time purchase” I assumed that meant I would only need to purchase once and be able to keep the app active as long as I wanted. I never would have paid $40 for just a year of service!
29. [R41] 1/5 · US Buyer beware: This app said it was 40 bucks for a lifetime membership, why did I just get charged for 70? I’m disappointed and disputing the charge. Highly disappointed
30. [R54] 1/5 · US Price increase: $70 for lifetime access? It was recently $40 and before then, much cheaper. They keep raising the price significantly without adding any new features. These Devs are delusional or too greedy.
31. [R61] 3/5 · US Great app, but privacy feature needed: I like this app and how it keeps me motivated to reach my running goals. The tracking and progress features are excellent. However, I’d really like an option to share my run results without showing street names or exact addresses on the map. Being able to share the route or location generally, like the neighborhood or just the shape of the run, without reveal
32. [R77] 1/5 · US Can’t use without paying: You cannot use this app without paying. It lets you do all the the set up. Then before you can use the 1st workout, you must pay
33. [R119] 3/5 · US Like the training, but the data tracking needs work: I love the interval training and schedule of this app. However, it doesn’t sync data properly to fitness apps like Apple Health or MyFitnessPal. For example, after a 33 minute session, it logs only a portion of that and says only 3 calories were burned. I need to manually adjust the log every single time. If the syncing were corrected, I’d give
