Great basic app thanks

Really great app

I really love your app! I just wanted to bring to your attention that the time is not adding up with the running on week 2/ Day 1. I start my watch and the app at the same time, and the first three days they matched, but when doing week 2/ day 1 training my watch said I ran for 25 minutes while the app only said I only ran for 23.5, I don’t know if maybe an Ad hit in the middle of the last effort of running but something was off, and I will say the last effort of 1.5 minutes of running felt REALLY long and the track I was running on I had figured up that I could run the whole track all the way till when I started running.

Other than that I have loved the app and I plan to continue using it!

Free

This app is bare-bones but it gets the job done and it’s free! My biggest gripe is that I can’t figure out how to lock the screen for the entire workout. I have to lock it for each walk/run segment which is a pain in the butt. If I don’t I easily hit the screen and it screws up the workout.

Very useful

I’ve been using this app every spring for three years now (I only run in the summer). I really really appreciate that in the world of subscriptions, there’s an app like this that’s free to use. It has all the features you could want—listening to music apps when you’re running, tracking distance and where you ran, and a program that eases you in to running slowly.

As someone who started during the pandemic very out of shape, what I appreciated the most was the training plan. I found that other apps started off too intense, but this one had a more gradual build up. Now that I lead a more active life, I often start at the W2 D1 or D2 workout.

I really appreciate this app, thanks again for making it :)

So good!!

I used this app as a very beginner runner and it was soooo goood! It helped me get from no running experience to running 5k and exciting about going much further in running! It’s so hard but so good! Highly recommend. 10/10
