Only 1st week is free
After downloading app was then advised that Only 1st week is free - deleted immediately
Times aren’t correct.
The app will have me walk 2 min and walk 5 min back-to-back, for example. It’s out of sync and I don’t know how to fix it on my end.
Timers wrong
I’m in week 3 and the 3 min run/walk only times for 1.5 minutes
Like most on here I had the old free app and it worked fine Hope my timer mishaps don’t continue in the coming weeks

Ok app
I had the old Couch to 5K. It worked just fine. It’s now updated to a fancier app, with more options of vArious fitness things, coach, voice, etc. But, the workouts remain the same. More $. And it makes you register. I tried to use with a treadmill, like I used to with the old app, and it did not sense that I was moving. I tried to find a setting to adjust but could not. So, I will no longer be using this app. Which is too bad, I liked the old one.

Treadmill
The app doesn’t work when on the treadmill.
Not great
I thought there would be some kind of instruction. Nothing. Just a warm up an then alternate walking and running. I don’t get any sound except a ding. No voice no music nothing. If I try to use an app for music it stops when I go back to the app.
Bug?
Did not allow to delete and restart the session
Good app for beginners
I really like this app because I am just starting to exercise and the 30 minutes goes by so fast and I feel great when I'm done. The things I don't like are the home button being too close to the music settings and is easy to bump on accident and the other issue is I wish I could save my playlist or playlists, I have to put my songs in every time I do a workout. If those things were fixed I would give a 5 star rating!

Good app
I have been using this for a couple months now. I use it about 3 times a week. The workouts are good. I like how they build up the intensity over time. I, too, have bumped the screen and the workout started over again. I run on the treadmill and I'm not sure if it would work well running outside. I'm sure I would hit the screen more often. The music seems to work fine for me. I like that I get to choose my own songs. Overall, I like the app and I would recommend it to others.

Not worth your frustration.
It starts out great, but the music option does not work as it is supposed too. The music buttons are located right by the home button, if you accidentally hit the home button, you workout starts over...grrrrrrr. I you can not skip workouts either, because it erased my progress I kept running using their timing routines, but I could not go any farther than the 1st week. Grrrrrrrr

Pretty good
This app is cool but you can't have your music too loud or you won't hear the beep. Several times I missed the beep and missed when I was supposed to start running or walking. It would be better to use on a treadmill where you can watch screen to see when it's time to switch activity. Still neat tho!!!

Frustrating !
I dislike the music interface, doesn't work. The beeps are not distinguishable between walk and jog. The app does not have a way to keep it on. It isn't very loud in voice mode. I have my pod on music and then my phone on the app as loud as it gets and it seems to work for my workouts. Great concept , if worked well.

Using it!
I love the concept, but hate when I touch the phone screen by mistake or when I clipping it to my waist and it goes to pause or just close the app. Should be a way to lock it. I had to start all over in many occasions. I resolve the issue of my phone goes to sleep setting my phone to never and so far so good.
For sure this app got me out of the couch and ready to 5k in few months.

Great concept
Love it....really has helped me get in shape...not sure if you can cancel a session once you have started it, and I would like to listen to pandora at the same time
I like it
It keeps me motivated. Had to switch my iPhone settings so it doesn't go to sleep. The only wish I have is that they would integrate the music settings better. Very easy to hit the wrong button when messing with song selection.
Such a let down!
Great concept if they can just tweak a few issues to relieve us from the frustration of using the app. First, fix the issue of the program shutting down when the phone goes into sleep mode! Second, fix the music so that it doesn't start at the beginning when you have to restart the program after it shuts down because the phone went into sleep mode!! Spent more time messing with the app then actually running!

Got me moving!
It's not perfect, but it was free. My only request is that you be able to start it and then go out to iTunes or another audio app for music and the timer keeps running. When you do, the timer stops running. I have started listening on another device, but then you lose the little voice telling you when to switch. I have been using it for over a week and really feel like my heart is beating and I'm building up gradually from almost nothing a week ago. I've recommended it.

Like the workout- hate the junk
So far the workout has been a great tool. Like the easy to follow guidelines, timers, beeps signaling end of each period. However, music function has not worked since second day. And since I paid for the app, I hate the banner ads wanting me to check out healthcare in my neighborhood, turn my iPad into a shopping mall, or buy tea because Lady A says it's good. There placement covers up the day and week of your workout schedule. Poor design. So for those reasons just a middle of the road rating.

Difficult to navigate
I love the idea of the app because it helps me pace myself and build up during runs or else I would run flat out and be worn out in 30 mins. I hate that it can't seem to figure a lot of it out. The app is difficult to navigate and when the phone auto locks it pauses it. Since I am running I don't notice then I have to unpause and I have run for way too long and get off time. Also, how do I look at previous sessions???

Good training app!
I really like the pace & the interval training. You don't give up because you know that you get a walking interval.
I don't like that when I switch to another app like MapMyRun or even music, this app will auto-pause & only resumes when you open it back up.
