Not loading/working
After buying this app, I have not been able to get it to load a single time. It simply will NOT work. I have the Ease Into 5K app and it works fine. Very frustrating. Zero response from the developer after reporting it.
App needs a lot of work
The notices don’t work if your phone is on lock and when I tried to put my phone unlocked into my running pack it just kept yelling “TIME” over and over again. So my choices of the TIME over and over again or holding the phone while trying to run aren’t realistic.
love the workout, but the app needs work
love the program!! however, it needs to work and send audio alerts while my phone is locked. when my phone locks, the alerts don’t go off and my workout is screwed up. i can leave my phone on so i get the alerts, but it’s out of battery by the time i get home.
Love these apps!
Did the 5k trainer and thoroughly enjoyed it. This app is no different. Following these runs has helped me lose 35 pounds and prepare for a slew of races starting with a 5k, 10K, 10 miler then a half marathon. Two thumbs up for this one!
Buyer beware
Either this app is incompatible with iPhone 7, or it's just terrible in general. I loved ease into 5k and bought this bc it had been a while and I wanted to push myself further. No alerts if the phone is locked, even though I have it enabled. I had to stop and start so many times I've given up.
Keeps crashing
Gave it 4 stars since this is the best running app until I updated yesterday and now it keeps crashing! Please fix ASAP!! I'm training for a race and don't want to spend money on a new app!
No thought
This workout literally just increases the number of minutes you are running. Eg: week 4: run 4 minutes, walk one minute, repeat 5 times week 5: run 5 minutes, walk 1 minute, repeat 5 times. Not really a professional or well planned running program.
Dropping app after 8 weeks of frustration
I'm in the 8th week of my training program, and I'm dropping this app after weeks of frustration and finally having enough of it's glitches.
From the beginning, there were constant problems with this app (distance cues didn't work consistently; automatic FB posting wouldn't always occur) but was able to tolerate them.
Then after an app update, I started having problem with the music playing function. At best, I would get no more than three songs then silence for the rest of my run. More often than not, the failure would happen after only one song. I can't tell you how disrupting it is to come to a complete stop in the middle of a run to try fruitlessly to get music streaming through my earphones again.
I tried everything to get it working right -- changing playlists, reloading playlists on my iPhone; creating my own in-app playlist.
Then, out of desperation, I deleted the entire app from my phone -- 8 weeks of running data -- and reloaded it fresh. It still wouldn't work.
For all of the money I've spent on this app, it's been constant frustration. Not worth it. Switching to the Nike app. And I won't be using this company's other app when I start training for a half marathon in a couple of months.
Don't waste your money and time on this app. EPIC FAIL!

Great app for new runners
The weekly goals are paced well. The journal is great for seeing your progress and keeping you motivated. Love that iTunes works from app. Highly recommend.
Great for those who "used to be runners"
Its frustrating to know what you used to be able to do when you start running again. Wether sidelined because of injury or inactivity or whatever reason this is a Nice app to get back into a routine of running!! Recommend highly.
Awesome!
I am on week three of this app and I love it! If you are new to running I recommend ease into 5k first but as an experienced runner trying to get back into it, this is perfect!
Great Running App
Since the GPS tracking was added to this app, this is the only one I use for running. A great, challenging app that will keep you moving.
Keeps me going
Challenging as others have said but keeps me interested and going forward. Great app!
Love it!
I used this app to get back into running after having a baby. I just finished week 5 and love it so far. The gradual approach has helped me ease back into it. Looking forward to race day!
Very good but one suggestion
I used the 5k app last year to get into running. I was out of shape, so I decided to buy this app instead of the bridge to 10k. It works great and has never crashed after about 4 weeks! I would highly recommend any of these apps if you want to start running! Very easy to use and lots of features.
One thing I liked better about the 5k app was the workout blurbs for each run. They are more motivating and encouraging. It's a small thing, but as a beginner I appreciated that.

Love this app
I've tried about 6 training apps and this is by far is the best for me. Good pace and advancement as you increase your time and distance. I'm loving running for the first time ever!
Not really worth the price.
The only thing I really like about it is that I am able to play Nike running program concurrently so I'm able to track distance at same time and rate I'm traveling. Its use is strictly to remind me when to run or walk, and cool down or warmup.
Great app
Tracking workout stats and program progress couldn't be made easier! Well done!
Helps me with getting trained.
Only wish it would randomly tell you what your pace is while running so you keep up to pace all the time.
Get off the couch!
The "Ease into..." apps are great. 5K is a great intro to running. 10K builds on top of that once you complete 5K. It helps ease your body into shape gradually so you shouldn't need to worry a out over training.
