1. [R4] C25K® 5K Running Coach & Map 1/5 · US Pay Wall smh: Of course just going along with the state of this greedy world. This app used to offer all weeks for free and really helped my running. Recommended it to a friend to find out that it only goes to week 2 then have to pay beyond that. There’s noone left who does things to genuinely help people. Everything is for a profit. Extremely disappointed and will NOT be recommending this app.
2. [R10] C25K® 5K Running Coach & Map 1/5 · US Deceptive: They hide the subscription requirement well. I thought this was a free app, but it’s a one week trial. I thought the pro version was just to unlock additional features. Nope - you can only use it for one week, then you have to pay. I’ll be starting over with something else.
3. [R74] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 4/5 · US Love it: LOVE the guided workouts on free version. I bought the pro version when I was training for a half marathon and the plan it gave me was awesome and totally worth it for someone who enjoys structure !!
4. [R113] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 5/5 · US Must have app for running: I love this app. It tracks your miles, elevation, pace, and PR. Best thing about it is that it’s free. Very easy interface and pleasing. Love it.I use this for jogging, running, sprints, biking, and hiking. It’s great and maps your route you took too.
5. [R3] C25K® 5K Running Coach & Map 3/5 · US Great on phone, crummy Ape Watch integration: If you use this app running outdoors, it works fine. Records everything properly, sends notifications to headphones, etc. However if you use it indoors on a treadmill it does not record distance or steps properly, and it does not share information with the watch. If you start the app on the watch it doesn't send notifications to your headphones and i
6. [R9] C25K® 5K Running Coach & Map 3/5 · US Stupid watch app, limitations, and confusing experience: In general, I love the couch to 5K app and the integration with RockMyRun. But the watch implementation is just not good. The app experience is confusing. You have to choose between managing your run on your watch which supposedly gives you better tracking data or on your phone, which allows you to play music and listen to a playlist while y
7. [R63] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 3/5 · US Ok…..: I have a very difficult time keeping it synched to my watch. Frustrating!
8. [R77] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 5/5 · US Satisfied Runkeeper User!: Hello! I am very satisfied with the Runkeeper app. It has helped me stay on track with my goals and track my progress. I appreciate how easy it is to use and how it keeps me motivated.
9. [R22] C25K® 5K Running Coach & Map 1/5 · US What’s up with the GPS signal???: Horrible GPS signal…..
10. [R36] C25K® 5K Running Coach & Map 3/5 · GB 50%: I downloaded the app and wanted to try this out. The first time I used it it was great. The second time I tried to use it it froze. 50% fail rate is no good for me when I really wanted this as a keep fit companion. I bought new headphones to use with this app. It’s failed me. Will be downloading another app.
11. [R69] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 3/5 · US Runkeeper has spoiled its app.: I am very unhappy with the app right now. On my 3 mile walk the app turned itself off 3 times. I may be a walker but I do like to track my time and pace. I hope this doesn’t become a regular thing. Also, I do not have an Apple Watch only my phone. Please fix this issue.
12. [R88] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 1/5 · US Stopped working?: My app stopped working last week. When it’s working, it’s outstanding. The last few days when I tap the app, I just get a blank screen. I’m running iOS 18.5. Hey guys, help me out and get my Runkeeper back up…and running.
13. [R1] C25K® 5K Running Coach & Map 2/5 · US Lame that you have to pay: I used this app years ago when the whole program was free. I'm getting back into running after a lengthy illness and I'm annoyed to see that you have to pay to finish the program last W2D1. I found another app and uninstalled this one.
14. [R62] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 5/5 · US Great app: It’s a great app, it’s free and I just personally haven’t had any problems with it
15. [R44] C25K® 5K Running Coach & Map 1/5 · US purchased the bundle with unlimited pass a few years ago, no longer honors it: i purchased the bundle with unlimited that contains all four apps. i redownloaded them to get back to running and tried to restore my purchases and the apps no longer acknowledge my purchase. they claim i have no purchases to restore.
16. [R64] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 1/5 · US App screwed up canceled my stuff. Now I can’t get my money back.: I don’t know what happened to this thing. But it all jammed up screwed up, deleted my account even though I had
17. [R91] ASICS Runkeeper, Run Tracker 2/5 · US Be skeptical: I tried to create an account but right after I finished setting it up it said the account was ineligible and I should contact support. But there is no way to contact support, so what am I supposed to do?
