The best C25K app!

I’ve had this app for years. It’s stayed with me through fitness and couch potato. I always use it to pace me back to running.

Perfect

A great little app, simple to use, very clear and well put together. For me the best part are the voice prompts. These come in at halfway through a run and 10 seconds from the end of a run. This feature is excellent!

Simple but great app

I have used this to get back into running every spring for years. It’s simple, but it works. Two things I wish it had were Apple Watch integration and the ability to pause what you’re listening to rather than just lower the volume . Other than that it’s a very good and useful app.

Crashing

I have used this app for a few years (and loved it) but now it’s crashing and I can’t open it anymore. Very sad and frustrating.
