RIP OFF ALERT🚨
Basically, many ppl rave about this app but they are not realistic. Personally, I am a runner and it’s not that I CAN’T run but I GET BORED and need some excitement. If you do not PURCHASE “abel running” within this app, you are DEPRIVED of access to more exciting runs and that is an absolute rip off. The Abel running program within Zombies run gives you the option of paying six dollars a month or thirty five dollars a year. Realistically, you would be wasting your money either because you CANNOT GUARANTEE that you WILL RUN at some point in the day. I feel that running in the spring and summer is the way to go and is more fun with adventure implemented into it. However, I find it unfair that we people are given the ultimatum of “RUN NOW or LOSE YOUR MONEY” as the other experience that is free on the app is far more inferior compared to the other assets within the app that you are forced to spend on.Show lessbsc04
I can’t run, but I can ride!
I am not a runner. I have a bad back, and bad knees, however I just got a recumbent bike and it has been amazing! I wanted to find a way to track my rides and I remembered a friend had mentioned this app awhile ago. I had actually downloaded it and used it to try and run once or twice but was miserable. When I got my bike I decided to see if it would still work and to my absolute delight it did!!! I live in a gated community that is just one block of houses basically a big square. I hop on my bike, turn on the zombies and Boom, I’m riding as fast as I can to escape! I love the story and get a little thrill every time my music lowers and the story starts. I I also love the radio station, it feels so real! Thank you so much for making this app! I went from barely doing anything to riding 10 miles a day!!!Show lessKolith
This app is getting me through the apocalypse
I truly, utterly, deeply adore this app. I’m not a natural runner or fitness person; I’m a bit overweight and generally kinda lazy. But boy does this app get me off the couch! I regularly run 3-4 times a week now due to this app (which I’ve had since 2012 but only occasionally used until August 2019). I’m now midway Season 2 and omg the story is fantastic; the characters and the actors who play them really make you like you are in this game. A really fantastic new addition is the at home workouts, which I do every other day right now when I’m not hitting the pavement.
I highly recommend this app if you want to maintain your fitness goals and keep listening to riveting content. What a great team behind this app. Thank you so much ❤️. Runner 5 out.Show lessdrsaramcb
I used to HATE running!
I used to absolutely hate running. I was trying to get better at running and I was just not very motivated. When I found this amazing app, it helped me get exited to go for runs every day knowing that there was a new mission waiting for me. I highly recommend this app for new and advanced runners. Their are so many different amazing features to help to help you meet your goals and track your progress. One of my favorite feature is the mapping feature where it color coordinates your speed on a map so you can see when you slowed down or sped up. This app has motivated me to push myself to go run 5Ks with the awesome race mode. They have 5Ks, 10Ks, and 20Ks. If you want to get into running or have fun adventures while tracking your progress and pushing yourself, this is the perfect app for you!!Show lessaddy.mae
GET THIS NOW!!
This is hands down the best app I've ever downloaded! I really struggle with staying motivated to run, or even to keep running when I finally do. It gets boring just running for what feels like no reason. But this app is the absolute best! I've started going on runs even when I don't have to, because I love the stories!! I feel so immersed in the story! I've had to look behind me a few times just to make sure there weren't actually zombies... I love that there's side missions you can do as well, like supply runs. That way, if I want to take a break from the main story, I can! For FREE!!! How many running apps can you say are beneficial for no money?! And there's even special features if you want to subscribe! Personally, I'm on the free version, but it is just as good, if not better! I really enjoy this app, and will most definitely be using it for a long long while! And I'm buying a waterbottle and a phone case to go with!Show lessGodofRatsAndSeeds
I used to love it
I used to use this app all the time. I used to love it and want to use it and want to hear the stories. I broke my leg and wasn't able to do anything for a while. Then I was able to get another iPhone and watch and immediately downloaded this app. Only to find things had changed. The stories you have to wait a week for now unless you pay?
I understand what you guys have built and how big this has gotten and you need to support it. I know the add ons and gear can make you money heck I've bought some gear! But just the regular missions and having to wait unless you pay is sad to me now.
I still love it and use when I can. I'm just sad and disappointed.Show lessNWoogle
Got rid of some of my favorite things
I do want to start out saying that I won’t run without this app. The story is great and I love Sam in particular. Over the years, certain aspects have gotten better:the robot voice, transition between story and music, better tracking, etc. However, a lot of my favorite things have been taken away. The base builder feature no longer have achievements to work for or gets attacks while you’re away. Zombie link no longer tracks your speed throughout the run. They got rid of most of the achievements in general to only a handful of them. Lastly, I miss just purchasing the seasons straight out instead of a yearly subscription. I miss that option. I know it’s a better business decision and some people prefer the yearly thing but as I’m not consistent with my running (and it took 3 or 4 years to get through season 3) it was a nice option to have. I still like this app and recommend it, but the elements I enjoyed most and fueled my competitive/gamer side has mostly been dismantledShow lessAyameShimitsu
One of the best games I’ve ever played
I don’t know where to start. It is so immersive and feels so real. It’s cliche but I genuinely used to sit in my room almost al day and get no exercise, but this has helped me a lot. Within a month I went from doing almost nothing physical activity wise to now walking around 5 miles a day. And it’s not a chore. It is fun to do and I look forward to it. The missions are amazing, storyline is intriguing, and the interface is user friendly. You gather supplies and build up your base which really brings it all together. And it doesn’t use much battery at all opposed to other games that make you walk like Pokémon go and the walking dead game. The developers and people involved did an amazing job and they seem to always be improving and adding more to the game.Show lessBob bukinshna
Best intro to running app imo
ZR5K is freaking awesome! As a new runner several months ago I tried various apps and programs to gradually get me running more and more. Most of them were too advanced even for a noob and I couldn’t keep up. But ZR was gradual enough and the story fun enough that I was hooked and actually enjoyed my runs because I wasn’t about to die or injure myself. I stuck to the schedule and had to keep myself from running too much because I enjoyed the runs, and this was during the summer in 90+ degrees and I’ve always hated running. Now I use the regular app but I suggest to everyone I run into that wants to start running to look into this app. I’ve also had issues attaching the app to my Apple Watch so I have heart rate data but I learned to simply put my phone on me for music and the story and simply run with Strava on to follow and for HR.Show lessWolffHiker
It used to be love
Honestly, I bought this app when it first came out and it was THE BEST run app. I told everyone. People I ran with, people who were just starting to run, strangers. It didn’t matter. I told literally everyone.
Then I had a few surgeries and couldn’t run for a bit. Came back to find that all of my progress was gone and it was now a subscription. So I started over. Or tried to. This is where the glitches made it impossible. Music crashes happened on every run, progress didn’t save, miles weren’t accurate, run times were off and no matter the pace, you couldn’t outrun zombies. I’m talking about a pace increase from a light jog to a full on fast-as-you-can sprint, without being able to outrun them. It also doesn’t work on a treadmill, which is a bummer for people who need times to run with softer impact.
I truly loved this app. I’m still trying to, but it doesn’t look good. The concept is amazing, the designers are talented but the cost is absurd. Especially for something that crashes on every run.Show lessAxlRosa
