Problema

Van 2 días que no se me guarda el recorrido porque termino y me llaman por teléfono y se borra. Debería ser automático.
Imagino eso debe quedar registrado en algún lado... al mail no responden.

Fácil de usar

Muy buena y cómoda ! Sencilla e intuitiva

Bleeds you dry $$

For the functionality, not worth the money. It required “unlocking” multiple times along the journey when it already said it was fully unlocked. Ask once. Rude.

Didn’t immediately hit save

This is the second time that I have gone on a run and it does not save my progress so I have to do the step again. And it makes me upset because if I track it on my Apple Watch, it’s fine, but I don’t get the satisfaction of the stepping stones and there’s hardly times where I only do that specific distance. Usually, I’ll do the interval runs and then continue to walk the rest of the way for the 3 miles. I was about to rave about it but fool me once shame on you fool me twice can’t get fooled again.

Try another

They let you get started and then at some point to continue you have to pay 5 bucks. Which wouldn’t be bad but the app is pretty basic. You can’t use it on treadmills. Sometimes the app will crash after a run and you lose that progress. Better off with another app.

No customer support

I accidentally deleted the app from my phone and it erased all my history and what stage I was on. I tried to reset since I also purchased to run more stages. The website is down, and the email they have listed on the app and the App Store is inactive. What a freaking waste.

Too many bugs though

I love this app and been using this for years but there are too many. Like how many times does it have to crush 2/3 or 1/2 mile from the end. 🤦🏿‍♂️. Hope it gets better soon.

Help

I feel like this training program isn’t detailed enough. It goes too fast. If you go to the next workout after only doing each workout one time it doesn’t tell you when you should move onto the next one. Most couch to 5K programs are 9 to 12 weeks and I’m confused.

Muy buena

Muy recomendable

Gute App

Mir gefällt die App ganz gut, aber ich hätte noch ein zwei Wünsche. Zum einen fände ich es schön zu wissen wie lange die Joggingeinheit geht, zum Beispiel 2 Minuten etc., und zum anderen wäre es schön, wenn nach der Hälfte der Strecke eine kurze Mitteilung kommen würde. Ansonsten gefällt mir die App sehr gut.

Progress deleted

Help! The app kept closing out so I updated it thinking thag would help, but instead it deleted ALL OF MY PROGRESS! I used to love this app.. but now unsure what to do.

Cada actualización PEOR

Escribo en marzo de 2024, y antes de la actualización podías duplicar tu entrenamiento en vivo del Apple Watch al teléfono iniciándolo en cualquiera de los 2, ahora no se puede, no se duplica nunca, y no puedo ver lo que corro en la caminadora, solamente en 1 dispositivo. Además de que se me reinició todo y la aplicación no me deja restaurar nada.

Paid Money… Can’t Even Start Workout

Hope you enjoy your latte. Apple needs to do better at vetting these broken apps.

Ya no funciona la aplicación se cierra cuando le das iniciar

Se cierra la aplicación

Don’t change phones

Upgraded my phone half way through my training programme. After backing up and installing tried the app and it kept crashing on starting. Re-installed app and lost everything. Emailed support and still waiting for a response. Not impressed.

Run/Walk feature freezes or doesn’t switch back to walk

I’m only on day 2. Going from zero workouts to this. When it switches between walk and run it’s amazing, encouraging and easy to follow… however, I’m only on day 2 and it’s wanting me to run the entire .7 miles…. It never switches back to walk. Absolutely NO way I could accomplish this lol

Response from developer

Hi there, Thanks for reaching out and sharing your experience with us! I'm glad to hear that you're finding the transitions between walking and running encouraging and easy to follow. I wanted to clarify that the intervals in our program are time-based rather than distance-based, so you should experience a mix of walking and running in each session. It sounds like there might have been a bug affecting your workout on day 2. Could you please contact us directly through the app? We'll work swiftly to investigate this issue and ensure your training experience is smooth and enjoyable. We're here to support you every step of the way on your journey to 5K!

So far so good.

So far this app has worked well for me. It is easy to use.

No sincroniza con Strava

Pese a que aparece el entreno en la app de Fitness del iPhone, Strava no lo reconoce y nunca aparecen. Gran fallo.

Easy and effective

Best efficient exercise tool to kickstart healthy morning routine!
