### 4/5 — Outta shape girl

*2020-02-01*

I tried the free version first, first of all to see if it’s gonna be something I can actually do, then to see the ease of it. I’m on day three of week one and I did it on a treadmill because it was cold and raining outside. I think I will stick with it with the Lord’s help, and it’s really easy to navigate. The only thing is, the treadmill said I had traveled 1.25 miles and the app said .29 miles that I had walked/run. Maybe because of me being on the treadmill, not sure. As long as the prompting is on track, I’ll get stronger and that’s the main goal!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2013-07-29, version 3.3.4*

Has everything I need for my runs!

### 5/5 — Good starting point!

*2013-06-10*

I like how it plays your music & chimes in whenever it's time to walk or run. Very useful app! Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Excellent app for non runners

*2013-05-28*

I really like that this app takes me at a pace that I can manage. It's only asking for 3 days a week, and I'm not over exerting myself during my workouts.

### 4/5 — Simple and Effective

*2013-05-25, version 3.3.3*

Simple app that allows you to literally go from couch potato to enjoying working towards running 5k. 
Think the built in music selector is awesome.

### 5/5 — Great easy to use app!

*2013-05-20*

I love the interface. It's easy to use. And I love my little lady coach that tells me what to do when. That's all I needed and it's great. My map and GPS and music levels work great for me.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2013-05-13*

Very easy to use--I'm planning on sticking with it, even though I'm thinking I might need a senior citizen version!

### 4/5 — Easy to get started!

*2013-05-09, version 3.3.3*

Liked the app and how easy it is to use

### 4/5 — I love it

*2013-04-23, version 3.3.3*

This app is teaching me to pace myself. I'm a non running becoming a runner

### 4/5 — Good c25k plan and super stats!

*2013-03-05, version 3.3.3*

Iove the stats aspect of the app, the journal. Would love more details while running like stating the halfway point to head back home and an understanding of the progress by stating "run 1 of 8". I don't really care where I am in the walking, but it is a moral booster to know which running segments i am running. 

The progress bar could be color coded with more contrasting colors too : it is hard to see in the daylight while running/buncing around! But i will probably buy it!

### 1/5 — Tracking

*2021-03-08*

My app doesn’t tell me how fast I’m going or distance

### 1/5 — Limited Training

*2016-06-06*

Only gives four days of training. Have to upgrade for the entire program.

### 1/5 — One week free? No thanks

*2015-10-05, version 3.5.10*

Really disappointed. I downloaded this free version of the app to try it out. One week is all you get to trial. That's seriously not long enough to even learn the functionalities. The UI is simple and doesn't excite at all. It's super simple in design and doesn't make me want to spend $3.79 for week two.

### 2/5 — Doesn't give alerts

*2015-05-25, version 3.5.7*

My friend uses this app and recommended it to me. Her's works fine. Mine won't give me most of the alerts to start walking or running. It's a shame because it seems like a good app otherwise.

### 3/5 — Good and not so good

*2020-04-23*

I love how they track everything, but I don’t like how I can’t share it to my social media platforms😕

### 3/5 — Good and not so good

*2019-03-24*

Overall, I find this app very helpful for tracking distance and calories burned. There are occasional glitches where it is very easy to accidentally turn off the app and not realize it and find parts of your work out or never recorded. I also question the accuracy of the calorie counts. They seem pretty high.

### 3/5 — Was very satisfied until...

*2016-01-29*

...I used the app while running on a treadmill, instead of outside. Suddenly, it wasn't able to track me properly and said that I barely moved the entire 30 minutes I was running on the treadmill. I suppose it had to do with the fact that it was stationary running, but I would hope that the app could adjust for that, though.

### 3/5 — Distance estimator is wrong

*2013-04-17, version 3.3.3*

Good app. But I wish the distance and GPS was more accurate.

### 3/5 — Beginner

*2013-04-01, version 3.3.3*

Great app.. Really pushing me on with c25k

### 4/5 — My Go-To Running Trainer

*2022-09-08*

I have used this app for years and am really pleased with its features. I love the satisfaction of seeing the dots on the calendar that are recorded with each workout. My only complaint is that the chimes for each interval do not play if the app is not open.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2018-03-08*

I've had this app for about 5 years and I love it. I highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2015-08-28*

I downloaded this since it was free and I need to get back into shape after slacking off all summer.  It is really easy to use.  I like that you can use your own playlists and how it just breaks into the music to tell you when to walk or run.  I just turn it on and go!  I will be buying the full version to keep going with this...have to keep up with my boys!

### 5/5 — Really simple to use

*2014-07-15*

Great for someone like me who has been trying to get into running. There's always going to be someone who is going to ask for one more gadget, but I'm happy with the way this is.

### 5/5 — Review

Excellent program really enjoying

### 5/5 — Love it

I'm older and trying to get back into shape , this app has helped me push through to end instead of quitting  early because I'm worn out

### 5/5 — Ease into 5K

*2013-08-20*

App is easy to use...you can listen to your own music while you run....updates on your progress on each run... The map is a cool feature
