Marathon 26.2 Trainer by C25K® User Reviews

Top reviews

Do not waste your money on this.

I'm compelled to write a review here. This app is NOT a training app. This is simply a clock. You can use a simple watch or clock on your phone for free, rather than use this app for $9.99. Not worth it AT ALL!! Please run, literally, away from this app.

I want a refund please!

Absolutely terrible. I really want to get my money back for this app. I used it two or three times and am very disappointed. The maps are not accurate, the plan is not customizable, and there is no way to access the data from each run after you close out of it! Plus, the training plan offered in this app is absolutely horrible. Only buy this app if you never want to finish your marathon.

Hi! Here is the website with some instructions on how to request a refund from Apple: http://www.imore.com/how-to-get-refund-itunes-app-store Apple controls the entire sales/refund process, so all we can do on our end is point you to this website. Hope this helps!

Annoyed

I wish the app had a pace mile section. This app set for 9-10min mile run. I run 14-16mile run, which means I’m always behind the approx. mile run time. I either have to choose to run the time or the approx miles.

One Change for 100%

Love the app. Everything is great. Would change up the intervals every once in a while and allow for edits of mileage for treadmill purposes. But other than that I love this app.

First Marathon in the Books

I used this app to run my first marathon. I had never ran a race in my life, and only had experience with road bike races. I was intimidated with running a marathon but this app broke it down and made it easy to follow step by step, day by day. It has a really comfortable progression in distance and how you run the miles as well 3 min run/2 min rest, to 4 min/2 min, to 4 min/1 min, to 5 min/ 1 min, back to 4 min/1 min. I would recommend this to any first time marathoner.

Hasn’t been working the past week

I really like this app and I am using it to train for my first marathon but it hasn’t been working the past few day. I’m new to this but I really need this app to work so I can stay on track for my goals. I have deleted it and reinstalled the app but it still shutting down after the home screen pops up.

Loved until it Stopped Working Completely

Tried contacting developer and never heard back. I loved this app until it shut down completely RIGHT before my run. I tried everything to get it back up to no avail. I have no issues with any other apps so it’s not my device. I signed online and saw many others complained of the same thing happening. Please! Developer- help me out and I will change my review! To all those purchasing if I don’t change my review BEWARE!

Please contact our customer support so that we can investigate this issue in detail To contact us, you can go inside the app's setting, click Feedback, and if you select email, you'll see that all the device/app info is auto-populated.

No configurability to the program.

There doesn’t appear to be a way to input the date of the race you are training for, your current mileage or fitness level. It just assumes you are training to run 26.2 miles whenever its program is complete. There also doesn’t appear to be a way to see whole training program, just five days at a time. Two thumbs down.

Thank you so much for your suggestion and input! We really do appreciate the feedback and are continually looking for ways to improve the app. Thank you for taking the time to write to us.

NOT a continuation of C25K

I used C25k and C210k, both were great. This thing “trains” you to do a full marathon running 52 individual intervals of 4 min runs. Ridiculous. Not what you think

It will not sync from my watch

I want to like this app, but I HATE IT!!!! It will only intermittently sync and I am always have to resent and I keep losing all my data! I have sent several emails requesting help and nothing!!! Don’t waste your time.
