Half Marathon 13.1 Trainer User Reviews

Top reviews

Abandoned their customers

I purchased the bundle with all of the running apps 6 years ago, but now due to their subscription model they have taken away the program from those who already paid for it. I feel taken advantage of, charging nearly $30 for a software bundle only to make it unusable due to a business model change. It’s unfortunate that everything has gone to a “subscription model.” Especially when the model doesn’t really give anything new from what was previously available. Stay clear, there’s better options out there.

Response from developer

We apologize for any frustration you may have experienced with the change to a subscription model. We understand that this can be difficult, and we want to assure you that we made this decision with the best interests of our users in mind. We've added many new features, including music streaming, which we believe enhances the overall user experience. Please email us at contactus@zenlabsfitness.com with your original download date receipt, and we’ll certainly do our best to work with you. Thank you for your understanding.

Disappointed in the program

The training is monotonous and felt like a step backwards going from running 60 minutes with the Couch to 10 to maximum 4min intervals.

Irritating voice over

App is ok but the irritating voice of the woman giving “inspirational thoughts” at the beginning of each run makes me want to punch something.

Untrustworthy

I bought the 13.1 program in 2019 and can no longer access to it. Looking at other reviews, I can see the company is claiming that the subscription model offers new features like music streaming…but I didn’t want music streaming when they rolled out that feature a couple years ago and I don’t want it now.

I liked that the program was easy to follow, but it’s not so amazing that it’s worth being charged monthly. And, if they don’t honor previous purchases, then what is to say they will have a consistent subscription price?

Pro version

I purchased the pro version of this app for $9.99 a few years ago and it is not recognizing my purchase. Also, all my data is deleted. Please contact me to remedy the situation so I can add stars to this review because I like the app but this purchase should be honored. I have the proof in my app purchases.

UPDATE: I contacted the company and they are supposed to be refunding me for my prior purchase due to the fact that they removed what they sold me. I attempted to follow the link to request a refund but it didn’t work. They sent me a second link and that link did not work either. I sent an email and am waiting for a response.

Great app

Easy to use

Bought app and now it’s requiring subscription

I bought this app when it was a paid version and had access to the full program and now it no longer works and requires a subscription to access. Don’t mess with this scam! There are better free apps out there with free training programs and overall better features and integration with apple products (see Nike Plus app).

Where do I start?

I bought all three of the couch to 5k apps about 3 years ago where they had the entire programs when I downloaded them. Now I am being charged again to access the same workouts that I previously paid to have access to. Feels like I got ripped off.

Best trainer app hands down

I have used the 5k program and the half marathon training. Hands down I suggest it to anyone. The first step to a finish line is the start line.

*updated review*

*update
I found the proper steps to work through for this app to work between watch, phone, and AirPods. While slightly cumbersome, I love the app and the developers were fast to respond when I submitted a ticket to help walk through and make this work better. And note, I was never able to get an app I’d used for years to ever work so this is a Win!

*old review* I want to love this app but the amount of timing I’m having to spend to try and just get it to work between music, AirPods, and my watch is ridiculous. Hopeful I’ll hear back from support
