Paid for the bundle, now I have to pay monthly?
As a way to support the developers, after my success using the free C25K app, I bought a bundle of 6 apps, including this one. Trying to get back to working out, and now I can’t get to the later workouts without a subscription?
Avoid
Originally paid for this app. Now it is asking for a subscription to unlock further levels. Avoid
Disappointed!
I purchased this app last last week, and my card shows it was charging me for the 2nd month? I'm not even in my first month and they locked everything!!!!! Very disappointed! I'm looking for apple support so these guys won't fool anyone anymore! Trust me they will just take your money!
Don’t be fooled
All the people posting about how Zen Labs scammed all of the people who paid upfront for this app aren’t lying. We paid upfront and then Zen Labs decided to convert the app to subscription without grandfathering us into the old app, leaving only the first three weeks of the multi-month available to paid customers.
Find another app. There are lots of us.

Not cool, man!
So, I purchased this app, along with their C25K app, a while back so this forty-something softie could firm up and out run the impending middle age mid life crisis chasing close behind. I can’t remember, it was something like $2.99 or $4.99 - but something I felt reasonable I just needed the pace and structure and I didn’t need any of the extra subscription-based bells and whistles they offered. So, as the fate of most softies, I get started and get part way through, then life and laziness happen and I fall off the push up wagon. I have recently resumed as I looked behind me and say my looming mid-life crisis gaining on me. When I first bought it, I had made it to Week 4, Day 2 and all my data is still saved. Great! So, I start from the beginning and today completed Week 2 Day 2 but something looks different - it locks at Week 3 and I have to pay a monthly subscription. I cannot even get to my previous cut off point without paying a subscription for an app I already paid to download - NO THANKS! I would not have purchased the app if I knew it would have locked at Week 3. If you do something like this with your C25K app (again, one I paid a reasonable price for the basic program but declined the extra features for a monthly subscription) I am going to have such a hissy fit!

Not happy about this
I paid for the app originally - now since the recent update everything is locked out and developer wants me to pay for a subscription that I don’t need!!
New upgrade is monthly subscription
Do not upgrade as the latest version allows access to the full workout challenge only if you subscribe to their monthly plan. The “unlimited free” wording is scam because it is only for a limited period.
Rip off and zero warning this would happen.
I am appalled!!

Stole my money
I purchased this app along with the other Challenge apps in November. At that time the apps were priced as one time payments for complete apps, no subscription pricing. After using the apps for weeks, I opened today to find they have changed to a subscription fee model and have locked the app, essentially bricking it. So even though I bought this app for something like $7 under clear terms of use, I now cannot use it unless I agree to pay them $50 a year. Which is kind of extortion. I would like a refund. I would not buy or use any of their apps again as they will likely change the pay model after the fact and charge you more to use.

Truly Disappointed
This app was recommended by a workout buddy of mine so I purchased it. I like it and it can be effective. But I already paid for the app and now I have to subscribe to the access pass? At least give us credit or refund us the cost of the apps we already purchased. It’s not the end or the world I get that, but if your community really is important to you then you need to correct this issue.

Want to pay again for an app you already paid for?
Don’t get this app! Recent update has locked me out of workouts that I already paid for. Unbelievable! These apps are not worth the monthly subscription cost. $50 a year to access what I already bought. It is reasonable to conclude that further changes and cost are on the way. Don’t waste your time or money!
