Help!

I love this app. Unfortunately it got deleted when I was switching phones/watches to new ones. It says “Purchased” greyed out and will not let me download it again! I would even pay again if I could just get it to download!!

Too many bugs

The app stops running when the watch locks so you have to constantly unlock whilst running. If playing music via another app, the music paused at each minute/half minute interval, so you have to manually restart you music.

Great idea, unfortunately not quite there yet, and not worth the money.

App quits mid run

Just like the previous review, the app quit after the second interval on my first run. I’d love a refund so I can purchase an app that works. Thank you!

Response from developer

Thanks for your valued feedback! We're excited that the new version of FiveK resolves many of these issues and features a beautiful new Voice Coach recordings. We'd love to hear your thoughts. If you experience issues going forward, please reach out to us info@camphor.digital and we'll work hard to resolve them quickly so you can continue on your running journey!

The voice coach doesn’t work

Good app. I originally thought the voice didn’t work because it starts silently and only speaks at the end of the warm up. It would be better if it announced the start and maybe talked you through what to do in the warm up. More encouragement/tips within the workout would also be better.

It's a start...

I just purchased and used this app for the first time today. It started out good, however the voice notifications are not working. And halfway through my walk/run, The app just stopped working. It reverted back to when I first opened it, and was not aware that I was in the middle of a jog. Please fix these issues, or I will ask for a refund.
