Great

So great

Great motivator

Easy to use. Nice to not have to think about it and just go.

An Outright Con

This app claims to get you to 5k in 8 weeks & assuming you sign up to it, it probably will. As it stands, you get 1 week then can't get any further without signing up. Avoid at all costs.

Read the fine print

Only first three days free, need subscription after that. This is stated right down the bottom of the fine print.

Really good!

Really good app! Easy to use and very good if your a beginner runner, really recommend

Not happy

Stopped working after 1st week

Glitching and not worth the money

Glitching, not working properly despite updating everything possible.
Not worth the money

Watch app keeps crashing

I can’t even open the app on my watch because it force closes as soon as I press the app’s button. Waste of time.

Doesn’t work and function do not buy

Got my apple receipt for $59.99 payment in 15 th April
By 26 th April app had stoked on the 3 rd run of the second week
Unable to commence 3 rd week of program
Emailed customer support and by 21 may still no response
And still can’t use the 3 rd week of program
Do not buy this

Need a response from the company

It’s been 2 months since I’ve signed up after my 7 day free trial and was charged $37. Well the bad news is that it’s asking my to sign up again and pay another $37. It’s like I had never signed up for the program. I’ve tried to email them to let them know my problem and I haven’t had any response. I was hoping I would get a response, maybe after this review I will hear back from someone.

Social Distancing is a great time to start running...again

Enjoyed the first week. Then the app requested I pay $1.00 per week.
Yeah. No.

I’m NOT a runner

Day 1 first run was kinda fun.. this might be an evolving review lol

Great!!!

Exceptional. Best Educational courses and programs.

Great app!

Great app! Provides quality learning material with convenience.

RIP OFF!!! Can’t stop the free trial forced to purchase!!!

Then it constantly loads and eat battery!!!

really good

I have used this app for long time now and it has provided a really good method of tracking personal physical activity

Paid to continue and won’t let me

I paid for the second week and it let me do the first workout of week 2. It will not let me repeat that workout or move forward. Canceling my subscription. This was disappointing 😕

Must pay to advance

I really liked the app until I realized I had to pay to do the 2nd week of runs. Disappointing but not worth the $40 for 6 months when I could use another app or a Tabata timer

Locks out after 1 week unless you subscribe

You get 1 week free and then doesn’t let you progress at all. Was expecting to be able to use basic features. Had to switch to a different app and start again

This app is not worth your time

The countdown clock and timer, when using it on a treadmill, is horrible, and the app messes with headphones. Example: my first treadmill run, using the app, my Apple Watch and the treadmill.

1) the app messes with my music through my Beats Bluetooth headphones, playing Spotify. The volume through the headphones goes up and down without warning.

2) the timer is not even. My 23” workout only lasted 18.5 minutes only Apple watchtimer. You can see the time ticking off unevenly. At one point, the app ticked off a minute split, and it was only 23 sec on my stopwatch

I’m removing the app, but this needs to be fixed before people start paying for the extras.
