## What is 10K Run?

Use the Vandersoft 10K app to improve your stamina, endurance, and health to help you run a 10K! Your body's strength will gradually increase over time with interval training.

Over the next 14 weeks your running will be steadily improved. You will start with 1 minute jogging intervals in-between 1.5 minute walks. As you complete runs your body will be strengthened and the program will slowly become more challenging.

Take your device with you on your runs! Listen to your favorite music and get prompted over your headphones to run or walk. Your entire run will be directed through your headphones or speakers.

Glancing at the app while on your run will show you:
- How long you have been running
- How much time you have left on your run
- how much time you have left on your current interval

Need to stop and tie your shoe? Pause the run! Or, press Back/Next to go to different intervals.

Features:

- Use outside or on a treadmill
- Play your music while running - the coach will chime in over your music
- Use with any music app
- Running plan overview - look ahead and see future runs
- Run interval controls
- Apple Health Support! Sync your runs to the Health app and get a better view of your overall fitness.

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2020-10-20, version 34.9.10*

Half the time the workout pauses without telling you in the middle of the workout.  So when you have run 2 to 3 times more time than the interval should have been, you pull out your phone to check and find the clock has stopped.  You’re way better off to find a different workout/interval app.

### 3/5 — I like the programme. It gets you fit.

*2020-08-06, version 34.9.10*

I like the programme. It gets you fit. Unfortunately , the app hangs up every time I use it —without saving my data. Please update! Ta.

### 1/5 — A shame

*2020-07-21, version 34.9.10*

Really liked the layout of this app and how it’s started off. At first it froze and I had to restart it. Got out for a run and all going great, get back and it’s lost the data. No run logged.

### 1/5 — App can’t handle being in the background

*2020-07-19, version 34.9.10*

Very frustrating flaw when trying to change audio content or whatever and it loses your run!

### 3/5 — Mixed review

*2020-07-09, version 34.9.10*

Good visuals and audio prompts.  Freezes at the end of the routine on the page prompting you to share your results.  Wish I could pair it with my music.

### 1/5 — Couch to 10K .....at some point !

*2020-07-04, version 34.9.10*

Keeps switching off whenever the screen locks or a call or message comes in. Ran for 6k and it showed I had ran for 35secs. Had to keep restarting which was no use at all. Would not recommend this unless it gets a massive overhaul! Better and more reliable apps out there! 😠

### 1/5 — Very basic

*2020-05-30, version 34.9.10*

Unfortunately I can’t give this app a good rating.
It keeps stopping as soon as you receive a call or leave the app for whatever reason. Your results are not saved so you can’t go back to we’re you left off so you need to start a complete new run. 
And no this is not getting better with the Pro-Version. I made the mistake and bought for both the 5k and the 10k the pro version so I can track the distance as well - really poor technical development. 
Disappointed as it is be easy to handle

### 2/5 — Stability

*2020-05-14, version 34.9.10*

Stops before run finishes

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-05-04, version 34.9.10*

It was okay but then it kept shutting of and it wouldn’t let me complete my run it was awful!!

### 1/5 — Crashes often

*2020-02-08, version 34.9.10*

I'd love to review this but I can't as it's crashed every time I've tried to use it
What I have seen looks good but stability is not good
