I love it! Helped me start running and keep running and no subscription!! ❤️ I’ve used a ton of apps and this is my fav! ### 3/5 — Treadmill *2026-07-21, version 9.3850* No option of recording distance etc manually when using a treadmill and the developers after repeated pleas won’t change this ### 5/5 — Pay once, no ads after that *2026-07-21, version 9.3850* Really great app. I love that I can listen to music at the same time and it still gives me the cues when they come up. ### 5/5 — True coaching *2026-07-15, version 9.3850* I’m halfway through the 14 weeks and I’m truly floored to be running for 20 minutes straight. Endurance building is so gradual and consistent that I don’t even notice it until I realize that I’ve hit a new time. This is true couch to 10K training. ### 5/5 — Couch to 10K *2026-07-15, version 9.3850* I love using this program for running with my English Springer Spaniel. It is keeping us both in shape. ### 3/5 — A touch buggy. *2026-07-09, version 9.3840* 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 message feature under the help section but the “next”button to send the message disappeared once you typed in the message. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-06-24, version 9.3840* Great App and fantastic customer service from their team! Would definitely recommend :) ### 5/5 — Love this ap! *2026-06-22, version 9.3840* Every time I need to get back into running I use this ap. It’s a great transitional program that anyone can use! ### 5/5 — Easy to use and exactly what I needed *2026-06-08, version 9.3840* 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. ### 5/5 — Back on it *2026-06-06, version 9.3840* Back to using app after injury and recovery from long covid. Just done week one. I’ll be repeating it as got to go really steady but the app allows for this. Love it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-06, version 9.3840* Love this app I have had 7 ankle operations an this app has taught me how to jog again an cannot be more thankful! ### 5/5 — Wish I could give 10 stars *2026-06-04, version 9.3840* 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! ### 5/5 — Get the App - it works! *2026-06-03, version 9.3840* 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 goals at a great pace ### 5/5 — Favourite running app *2026-06-03, version 9.3840* My go to when I don’t want to think too much about planning and timing runs. I keep going back to it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not keeping record of runs *2026-08-25, version 9.3910* Frustrating ### 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. ### 1/5 — Falle *2026-07-24* Nach dem Mann vieles beantwortet und Sozietät verliert , wird nur am Ende gesagt das es 35 Euro kostet und Mann weiß garnicht wie diese App funktioniert ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-07-05, version 9.3840* Presents itself as free in App Store. After multiple screens answering questions it hits you with a cost. ### 1/5 — Misleading “Free” *2026-06-15, version 9.3840* 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. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-05-07, version 9.3840* Not free as advertised in other websites. You give your data then they tell you the price of the subscription ### 1/5 — “Lifetime” Premium *2026-04-15, version 9.3840* Was more than happy to pay £15 for a lifetime premium membership. Was less than happy to be informed it renews every 3 months. Could I have read what I was signing up for better? Certainly could. Could the plan be renamed so as not be misleading to the average consumer making a transactional decision, by providing false or deceptive information or presenting information in a misleading way? Absofunkinglutely. ### 1/5 — Charged me for trial *2026-03-26, version 9.3840* 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 ### 1/5 — Misleading *2026-03-21, version 9.3840* Takes you through the whole setup process and only then tells you the plan will cost thirty quid. Should be transparent about cost to begin with. App deleted, I don’t like being misled. ### 1/5 — Nothing without pacing advisement *2026-01-22, version 9.3830* Training means nothing if you don’t have advise about pace. This may as well be a zone 2 trainer ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The benefit is real *2026-08-31, version 9.3920* I used to joke that I only run if something is causing me. Through this app I gained better health and found something beneficial that I enjoy. Great program! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-29, version 9.3920* Used this app the last two years, was doing 10K plus before last year before i stopped. This year found it easier and will maintain it ### 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. ### 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! ### 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
