Marvel Move is the BEST!
Marvel Move is seriously such a cool way to train. I’m nearly through my first 5K training and it’s been so motivating to return each week for the runs. The stories are fun and have a lot of depth. I can tell the writers did their homework on the characters, locations and stories. I’m an avid comic reader & MCU watcher, so coming home with fun tidbits of supplementary info (that I pretend is happening in another multiverse) has been so fun. The voice actors do a great job at showing emotion and they work the training into the stories so well. I’ve seen fast improvement in my run time and cardio fitness and I plan to continue for as long as they provide it!
I also love that they brought Kamala Khan, Photon & Captain Marvel into the mix. That’ll be the challenge I do next!
Thank you for offering this. It’s been money well spent and I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve never looked forward to my runs the way I do now.Show lessJunePages
Developer Response
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're working hard to make the app and the stories we share as great as possible, and it's incredibly satisfying to see this sort of feedback. We hope you'll continue to enjoy ZRX moving forward!Was 5/5 before rebranding…
Now it’s 3/5. I’m sure I’ll get used to the layout changes, and I’m sure the bugs will be fixed with time, but it really is unfortunate that they had to rebrand the entire app for a Marvel partnership. I was under the impression that Marvel Move would be its own app, and I would have MUCH preferred that. Instead, I can’t access my race missions without losing my progress each time, can’t do interval training mode, and can’t do hardly ANYTHING without the app crashing. All for a tie-in with a media franchise I care nothing about that costs extra to even have access to.
EDIT: Removed a star. I spent so long fighting with radio mode trying to make it play me the episode I’m actually on instead of a random one I’ve already listened to that I literally ran out of time to work out this morning. This app has gone from motivating me to work out to keeping me from working out.
EDIT 2: Removed another star. Audio is straight up not playing for me now. The bugs seem to be getting worse instead of better. This is really disappointing… I used to love this app.Show lesswlizard
Problems with the new app changes
I usually don’t write reviews but with all the problems the app is having at the moment I decided to write this. It’s been taking a long time to start up, crashing, zombie chases glitching out and tracking has been off both on screen and with the audio. Also when the chase audio plays and you hear the zombies, normally the audio would play and warn you about the incoming zombies. During this and the 20, 50 meter warnings the audio would muffle your music. Now it’s just completely muffles the music even when no audio is playing and zombie chase are 100 meters with tracking not working correctly so I’m sprinting far more then I’m supposed to. Zombie noises would never muffle the music. They would slowly increase in audio as you got closer to them without the muffling. I’ve been using the app since 2015 when I was in middle school running track and cross and never once ran into a problem. Now with the app change it’s been doing all of this and making it impossible to use the app to train. Please I hope this gets fixed because I don’t want to stop using this app because of all the sudden problems. (Once the issues have been fixed I’ll switch the rating to a 5 because other than the problems it’s having the app is super good. Just that the problem make it practically unusable for some who’s been using it for years.)Show lessGXT22
Zombies Hate Fast Food
Truly my favorite app! I’ve lost 30 lbs and gotten into the best shape of my life with the help of Zombies, Run. It honestly makes running so fun! I used to dread the idea of running and never thought I could do it- but Zombies, Run has made it so that I look forward to going on a run! I gotta collect supplies and know what happens next! There are a couple things I would change- I wish I could switch to radio mode in the middle of a run. Sometimes I want to do 2 or 3 missions in a row, then switch to radio mode. You have to totally stop your run in order to make that switch. A little annoying, but minor. I also wish the zombie chases were more consistent with the settings I’ve chosen. If you have the chases turned off for a while, the app seems to want to “catch up” by giving you WAY MORE CHASES than what you have it set for. Still a 5 star app, though!Show lessCarepluslyn
Great story!
I’ve been playing Zombies Run since back when it was a one time purchase and have subscribed off and on. The story just gets better and better. But I keep holding out hope that they will do something more with the base builder. The zombie attacks were such a little element of gamification, but it made the supply gathering more meaningful. And the base itself is a visible measure of my own progress as it withstands challenges. I understand if people are concerned that they may be injured or unable to exercise and the base might suffer, but I see no reason attacks can’t be paused or opted out of whenever needed, just like the zombie chases. Just my two cents! Regardless, I keep coming back and zombies run helps me get back in shape whenever I struggle with my routine. I’m very grateful to have found it!Show less(Grizzly)
Thank you for changing who I was running from.
I downloaded ZR in 2012 after hearing an interview on NPR with Naomi Alderman. It sounded like a fun way to get exercise, which was exactly what I felt like I needed at the time. I had just graduated from college, and was broke, jobless, and severely depressed. At first running was just a way to get out of my head, but at some point in the next few months, it turned into something important and meaningful. I was running because I wanted to learn more about the residents of Abel Township, I wanted to hear Jack and Eugene bicker and flirt with each other, and I wanted to collect bras and water bottles to support a fictional community that sometimes felt more real than my own. An activity that had in the past served as a kind of self-punishment became an activity that brought me closer to my values. It made me feel fulfilled and accomplished. I can’t count the number of times this story has made me laugh, and how many times it has brought me to tears. Since 2012, I’ve run hundreds of miles. With the virtual races, I’ve pushed myself beyond anything I ever thought I was capable of. But I no longer do it to become more fit, or even to feel less depressed (although both of those things did happen). I did it - and still do it - because it’s truly fun. Thank you.Show lessPryde90
Great app!
Right now there are 9 seasons of missions (about 20 per season). Most of the story lines are fantastic and really helped keep me on track with my running! There are also “new adventures” which can be hit or miss for me personally but provide variety away from the zombies portion of the app. While we were all in lock down during the pandemic, I was very impressed that they came out with the “home front missions” which provided more of a circuit training workout vs running and helped to keep me active during a terrible time.
I am a legacy member so I have access to everything except the virtual races but for my money I think it’s been well worth it!Show lessAlbracadabra
my first and only review
This is my first and only review of an app in all my many hears of having just about tthe whole gambit of all apps. In a nutshell: THIS IS AWESOME x 10^ 10th power! It has both my fav things all in one :horror, gore, militant milieu of an atmosphere, and running and pretending like im a FEMA Fed and/ or serving a higher purpose. Fight or flight response on whilst listening to songs from the walking dead or Rob Zombie songs in the backdrop ..,running at night on top of the fact that when if you ever face a predicament where you reallyyyy need to run for your life, you would be AMAZED at how hard you will push your body when it is a matter of survival ie life vs death. Kudos to whomever in Silicon Valley created this app; I really wish I had come up with something so ingenious!Show lessThatSOSamazing
Five stars
I almost never right reviews but this app deserved it. I started running cross country at my school but I don’t like running at home that much. My dad said to try this app and it changed everything. The story wanted to make me run so I could here the rest of the story. There is different options for time or distance, and also the pedometer or a gps. It tells you your pace and how far you went. They also have a zombie chase system where it makes you speed up for a certain amount of time or else you lose your materials you’ve corrected.Show lessBrett Berry56869
Got me exercising
Years ago I saw someone talk about this on Tumblr. My parents always got on to me about not exercising during summer breaks and I thought this would get them off my backs. It did—and more! Years later, I can run 10ks. I regularly run five miles, each under ten minutes, without slowing down. This year it kept me moving even in the middle of a pandemic with the Home Front, and my arms look better than ever before! I can plank for a while minute! Even on days I don’t feel like exercising, the story and characters always come back for more. The other features—virtual 5ks, e-mails from the characters, earning enough supplies to finally upgrade that big building—are icing on the cake. I love Zombies Run. I recommend it to all my real life friends, and I would recommend it to whoever reads this review too! Zombies Run inspires me to stay active and strive to learn more and run better all the time. It was well worth the original download price all those years ago, and it’s well worth the VIP price now. Thanks, Zombies Run!Show lessCaitlee M.
