  • Love it!

    People stop being LAZY and just change the setting for your hibernating time to never! I leave it in my pocket and it goes the whole 30 mins perfectly fine! No pauses, music works perfect every time! I love this app! The work out is awesome too coming from a couch potato! :)
  • Decent App till Update

    Since the update the app "pauses" the workout if the phone locks. Kind of defeats the purpose if I have to keep tapping my screen to keep it from pausing. This didn't happen before the update. Also the music portion isn't very good. It repeats songs unless I hit forward and you can't look at the list of songs you did add in order to update it or remove songs if you want. These issues need to be corrected soon or I'm going to find something else to use.

  • Latest update gets one star!

    After the latest update, this app gets one star only because I couldn't give it a zero. Use to work fine but now after a minute when the screen saver kicks in, the app pauses itself and I can't figure out how to fix it. I found there are better apps out there.

    Original review:
    I read the reviews before I bought it and was kind of hesitant. Once I figured out that in order to hear the voice commands over your music you have to use their in-app music player. I really hated running but this app helps a lot. I only wish there was an app like this for 10k.

  • News fine tuning.

    Loved the idea of this app. However after starting my first workout I realized a few things I didn't want to have to deal with. My music sounded fine but I had to press forward to hear another song. It repeats the same song. I have to hold it in my hand because when my iPhone fades out the workout stops. Then I have to start that session over. These things need to be fixed for a smooth workout. I will definitely delete this one and find a new one.

  • Great app for beginner runners

    This is a great app for beginner runners. It motivates you to keep you on track with your weekly running routines. I use the I heart radio app with this as my music and have not experienced any issues with the sessions having to restart. Also, those who are complaining that the sessions are restarting after you text or talk on the phone...well, if you are running you shouldn't be doing that anyway. Highly recommend this app for anyone who wants to build endurance in running and stay fit.

  • Pretty Good

    Pretty good app. I like how it helps track and keep up with progress. The "buzzes" that help you know to transition from walking to running are nice, but I wish there were some differences in the buzzes, especially when it comes time to cool down. When my iPhone is in my pocket, it's easy to lose track of where I am in the workout.

  • Mediocre

    Overall the app sets you on a good plan to get running; however, I have found that the music controls built into the app do not work well. I have to start my iPod before I start the app and control the music with the remote on my headphones. If something happens and you get off of the app more than a couple of moments or go into the apps settings, it forgets where u were at and makes u start the workout over. It's ok once you figure out all of the quirks.

  • Agree with other Reviewers

    I like the program but wish I had read the reviews first. I have been frustrated several times trying to adjust the music and having the program re-start. It's difficult to hear the voice over the music so I have to depend on the beep.
  • Good App

    Good program. Has been working well for me so far and I hate running!!! You can adjust the beep for jog and walk in the settings. Just turn off the beep mode and it will be a voice to tell you what to do.
  • There are better ones out there...

    Similar to the other reviews, I found this to be frustrating in use. I was trying to navigate my music and ended up accidentally starting my workout all over again when I was over 50% complete. There is another 5k app out there and have opted for that one. I wish I would have read all the reviews first! Grrrrr.
