Great app for new runners !

I have been using this app for years! So disappointed about the music integration. I don’t use Apple Music at all and was very happy with the mix I was using and POOF, it’s gone. This is SO very disappointing and I’ll likely cancel premium membership. Unfortunately, I cannot find any detail about what’s included in premium membership so I can’t see what any additional benefits might be to keeping it. This app is really suffering from a lack of information and communication with users. Just very disappointed with the developers choices.

I am an active and fit female now in my 60s but started using this in my 50s. I didn’t want/need to lose weight, but I had always disliked running. I wanted to conquer that so I tried a few apps and finally found yours. When I began, I could barely run a block and now I’m doing 10ks. My mile time has dropped from 14mins to under 10mins so I’ve accomplished a great deal. Next up I want to try for a half-marathon so we shall see what the future holds.

Great app, watch app glitchy

Have used this app for years and the program is excellent. Gradually increases running in a way you almost don’t notice.

I’ve used the app with and without my phone and always had great luck. I haven’t used it for about a year and am getting back in but for some reason when using just my watch it is no longer giving me voice prompts. Previously it lowered the volume of my music to do this but now it doesn’t.

Tried app support but they responded (very quickly as they always do!) to check my headphones. I informed them it wasn’t that as I could hear the music.

Hello, thanks for your feedback and sorry for the trouble with the music. Actually, the music is supposed to quiet down as the trainer speaks. You can manage voice volume as well as the amount of feedback in More – Settings – Audio Settings. 🔧 please also set the voice volume on your Apple Watch to the max using Digital Crown on the Watch; 🔧 kindly note that currently, it's possible to choose a personal trainer only in the Running for Weight Loss training plans; however, for other plans, there will be only Lisa; 🔧 please, also, try to unpair-repair your Watch; it may help. Should you have any further questions, you're always welcome to reach us again at support@slimkit.health 🌱 Sincerely yours, Slimkit.

Easy to use

This app hasn’t let me down. User friendly, the trainings are precise, like to use the reminders as I workout. Recommended!
I enjoy it and have been using it for yrs. 👍

sad there’s no free version anymore

I used to use this app and it’s the only one i ever saw results in but i came back after a few years to find out it’s mandatory to get premium, and they don’t tell you until you go through all the questions.

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you for your review. At the moment, the app works based on premium subscription terms. We constantly work on adding new features and hope you could give our app another chance 🤞

Super application!

Seul bémol, il calcule en mile et non en km.

Response from developer

Hello! Thank you for the 4 stars given⚡️Kindly note that you can change the units of measurement in the app Settings > My Parameters > Change your data of weight or height to different units. It will then change miles to km as well!

Payment

Where is the month to month payment option?

Response from developer

Hello there! All the options for subscription are included on the payment banner. If you have any questions, please reach out to support@slimkit.health❤️

Good app

I mostly enjoy this app, it’s motivating and helped me get back into my running. However I feel the distance isn’t accurate and is inconsistent. The app tells me “half way” at a different part of the same track each time. Might take my Apple Watch to double check this. Also the meal plans aren’t adjustable which is concerning as not every eats all food groups.

Hi, thank you for training with our app! 📍 Kindly note that the app tracks your actual distance with the help of GPS, and it works only outside — please make sure the signal is stable and also check a few settings: tap Settings on your device - Privacy - Location services ON and also enable it for this app (choose While using).  📍 Tap Settings - find the Running app and enable the 'Motion and fitness' option. 📍 Also, many factors, such as tunnels or buildings, can impact your device's GPS signal. That's why I advise you to change the route; it may help. 🍱 And many thanks for your feedback regarding the individual diet settings. It looks like we can improve this feature, and we’ll consider your ideas for making our future meal plan updates. For further assistance, please, reach us via in-app, and we'll be happy to explain more or advise on what may help you become healthier, or just send a word of motivation if needed 🔆

Lose the word “Quit”

I actually really do like this app. But one thing that really bothers me, is the fact that when I am finished my workout and press stop I am asked “are you sure you want to QUIT?“ I’m not quitting, my workout is just finished. I really don’t like your use of the word “quit”. I wish you would change that.

Hi, thanks for the review! There's one word for all cases, however, we'll consider your feedback for our future updates.

Perfect for Outdoor Run, One Glitch for Indoor Run

I really like the App, reliable with GPS and connection with iPhone. it records items and has several running settings for different levels and different length race preparations. The main glitch I would like them to fix is when you run on treadmill it doesn’t let you fully edit your run, gives you one thing to edit & then locks in everything, frustrating. At the very least I wish it linked with my Fitbit. Otherwise I like the playlists, they can speed up as you run, and have good trainer voices and meal prep ideas. Again really love this app for outdoors but small treadmill run glitch in record keeping. Better than all the other apps based on affordability and features.
