### 5/5 — nice app

*2026-08-26, version 9.3920*

That’s my first app and it is a nice app. I work on it.

### 1/5 — Not keeping record of runs

*2026-08-25, version 9.3910*

Frustrating

### 5/5 — Worth it!

*2026-08-24, version 9.3910*

Been using this app for several years anytime I’m in the mood to learn to run. It is very impressive at the increments. It brings you through for success. It always works. If I follow the plan, I love the motivational sayings and the motivational support throughout the run as well.

### 5/5 — Getting back into running

*2026-08-22, version 9.3910*

Keeps me motivated!

### 5/5 — Where have you been?

*2026-08-19, version 9.3900*

I’ve been wanting a coaching and timed run/walk interval app for so long! It does it for you! I love this app so much!I will be purchasing after free 7 days is up!

### 1/5 — Indoor run

*2026-08-11, version 9.3900*

It doesn’t log indoor runs. I ran inside today because it was raining and it didn’t log correctly.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-10, version 9.3900*

Highly reccomended- really helpful to get off the couch

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-06, version 9.3900*

Well run app, keeps motivated.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-08-04, version 9.3900*

It really has helped me build endurance. Its like having a coach with you every run!

### 5/5 — can be customized

*2026-07-27, version 9.3850*

older runner here, 60+.  The default progression / ramp up is too steep for me, but it can be customized.  Basically you do the same intensity run over until ready to advance.  Been using this for over a decade.
