But I have had trouble with getting anyone to help me through customer service when I ran into trouble renewing my subscription. No matter what I did the app won’t fix on its own. And I have emailed them probably ten times in the last month and gotten no response. ### 2/5 — Alerts don’t consistently work *2019-01-25, version 3.5.8* Having used the free NHS couch to 5k this feels like the poor relation. Alerts don’t consistently work meaning I regularly run through the walk sections. Afraid to say I’ll be looking for an alternative. ### 2/5 — Sort of annoying *2018-06-14* I like the actual exercise plan but the app is kind of dull and it annoys the heck out of me that it wants location always on for the app. ### 4/5 — Bridge to 8k *2018-04-02* Well I did it. I finished the couch to 5k and today was my last day of bridge to 10k. I ran...5.24 miles. It’s a great app for getting me to run longer, but I’m still almost a mile off my goal. I, and I believe most beginners, can’t run a 9:39 mile. I wish the app had some extra workout weeks for the slow runners out there or suggestions on how to run that pace. ### 2/5 — What happened?! *2016-01-28* I was so sad when I started using this app again because I used to LOVE it. With this version, the GPS is ALL over the place! Walking down a side walk for 15 seconds and it says I went backwards then crossed the street twice. With the GPS so unreliable, the only accurate journal stat is the time. So disappointing. Also, the voice notifications are very hit or miss. Sometimes they tell you to walk, sometimes they don't. I have to keep my phone out to watch the screen which I really don't love. Minutes pass much slower when you have to watch them go by... ### 1/5 — Do not pay for this app. *2015-08-28* This app is extremely quirky and does not work well. If you want audio updates during your workout, this will not give them to you. I tried several variations of settings and the only updates I could get was every 10 minutes and that was only if you leave the app unlocked and in the foreground the entire time. Allowing the app to "auto lock" shuts off the audio updates even if it stays in the foreground. If you switch away from the screen at all, you will not get updates. Also the calculations are incorrect. It said my fastest mile was slower than my average which is mathematically impossible. I worked with tech support for about a week to make it work to no avail. ### 1/5 — Great App let down by major flaw. *2015-04-08, version 3.5.7* After having completed the 'Ease into 5K' app by the same developer I was keen to tackle this app and get to 10K! The app itself has a great UI and the progression though the weeks is perfect for building up to 10K without injury or facing failure- the incremental increase in workout is achievable and systematic. The MAJOR problem with this app is that the voice commands don't come in over other programs you may be using. For example if you listen to podcasts with this app running 99% of the time the commands don't announce. It can be very frustrating to pull out your phone when you think you have reached your next stage only to see you are minutes away or have over shot it. Running for 50 minutes plus worrying if the commands will work is frustrating and defeats the purpose of the whole app. I have emailed the developed with my concerns and have had no reply at all. If you enjoy listening to podcasts or iTunes while running don't chose this app it will drive you crazy. I have since gone with another product. ### 1/5 — New update crashes *2014-09-25, version 3.5.5* I love this app...but not if it won't open. Fix the update, please. ### 4/5 — Pretty Good *2014-06-30, version 3.4* I have enjoyed this as a follow up to Ease into 5K, but the calorie burn calculator seems off. It gives similar numbers for runs of very different lengths. Maybe that needs retooled? Otherwise this app has been useful to get me past a plateau. ### 1/5 — Just use Couch to 5K *2014-05-31, version 3.4* I got this app bc I finished the Bluefin C25K and wanted to do more but that one already has up to 60 min runs...the most this one goes to. If you have the first one, this is a waste. I want my money back!! ## Frequently asked questions about Bridge to 10K ### What is Bridge to 10K?
