Longtime User

Been useful because you can refer to it! 10yr user lol

No free option

Can’t even try it without committing to a trial dumb

Motivational

And not too naggy or annoying.

Totally worth it

I love this app! It does a great job at getting you to a 5k and now I’m still using it to keep with it. My first race is in a week and I can’t wait.

$100

$100 is a rip off. Don’t tell you the price until after you complete a series of questions and download the app. Similar apps out there for free or much cheaper. If in uk, use the nhs free app.

Do it. Period

This app got me back to working out. I really like that if after the end of my workout I rate the workout hard it will give me an extra workout to condition before leveling me up.

Great program

Off and on I’ve used this program over the years. But it’s simple, and straight to the point with no BS. Easily worth the purchase.

Always good

Been using for multiple years since I tend to go from couch to 5k back to couch. It’s a never ending story. Still a great app that takes your hand and doesn’t let you hurt yourself.

Response from developer

Couch to 5K and back again, as many times as it takes! We're glad we could keep you moving safely through all of it. Keep running!

Review

I love this app couldn’t do my runs without it ❤️

Customer support

I’ve used this app on and off through the years and since having kids I was never able to stick with running. I am trying to start up again and was fairly certain I bought the lifetime experience but the refresh on the app wasn’t working. Customer support was able to restore my access at no cost to me after I provided a receipt, which was easy to find through Apple purchases (it was purchased more than 2 yrs ago). Quick and easy!

Needs Edit Feature

I wish there was an option where you could edit the distance for those on a treadmill.

Idea is great

Glitches towards the end of my run

Love the pace!

Really love using this app! I used it to increase my running time and it works beautifully. I may never run a 5K, but I do like running for exercise and I needed a way to see improvement. This app gave me the ability to do that. I’ve been using it regularly for a year and it still supports my growth as a runner that doesn’t have a desire to compete.

Great customer support

This is a fun, educational and rewarding running app! Additionally, customer service was above any beyond what I expected. They responded to my email overnight and resolved my problem quickly

It really works

I went exactly from no running at all to doing a 5k 8 weeks later. The gradual progression really helped. I’m very happy with this app.

Great Program!

I am using this program to train for a 5K. This program has helped me so much I am able to do all the runs without stopping and I am in week 6! Thank you couch to 5K!

Paid app

Make it paid from the start, not hidden after onboarding

Best 5km running app

This is the best app for running!

Life changing!

I can’t rate this program more highly! I’m a 40.5 yr old woman who has never run more than 100m in my life! I’m now consistently running 3 times a week - and havent wavered in my commitment since starting 5 months ago. I love who I’m becoming, investing in my own self care. As a busy mum of 5, I love for my 30-40 mins mornings, 3 times a week, and owe it all to Cto5k! Even people at work are invested in my journey! It’s achievable and it’s life changing!

Not free

You can’t do anything without paying. Garbage app.
