The “silent“ option is not good enough because not only is it not completely silent, it also momentarily turns down/lowers our music during the “silent” period. No runner wants their music volume interrupted involuntarily. Also, what does it even mean to have “a period of silence during a workout?” Is this feature looking for us to be making noise or something while we’re running? Since this an unnecessary and intrusive feature for some of runners—please add an option to turn this completely off; the “silent” option is still too interruptive. Thanks! System: iOS 17.5.1 App-version: 1.9.3 ### 4/5 — Great but No Apple Watch App? *2017-10-02* I LOVE this app! Will you be coming up with the Apple Watch version of this app soon? ### 4/5 — Good but won't post to Facebook! *2017-05-17* I really like this interval app. I've used it to, er, restart my running habit just about every year after I inevitably fall off the wagon. I like the simplicity of it, and the directness of the spoken instructions during a run - nothing gimmicky, just a direction. My only criticism is that it never allows me to post to Facebook! I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times, and it still won't post! I don't know what's wrong, but it has been a problem since I first downloaded the app in 2012... ### 4/5 — Still Great, Despite Shortcomings in Customization *2017-02-14* Very clean & intuitive. Building new workouts is quick & easy. I wish I could custom label the steps in the workouts, though. Most timer apps have this feature, allowing you to build more than just running routines. Still, I use this app over the dozen or so others I've tried because it is otherwise perfect. 👍🏽 ### 3/5 — Needs Apple Watch Support *2017-01-05* Good but, really needs Apple Watch support. Can't use it without my phone so, I don't use it. ### 4/5 — Really good *2016-12-02* I'd been looking for a simple interval app for running ever since discovering how this type of running is beneficial (at least for me...). This one is great... it has pre-programmed training as well as the possibility to create individualized workouts (and save them!). No subscription... no ads... really great. Is there an Apple Watch interface in the works? I'd do it would be the cherry on an already lovely cake. ### 3/5 — Happy then sad *2014-12-28, version 1.8.2* I loved this app when I first bought it but now it won't work unless the app is open on the screen. It's still runs properly but it's kind of a pain to keep the phone unlocked. It would get five stars if this problem were fixed. Please fix it!!!!! ### 2/5 — Great app if it worked when the phone was locked *2014-09-23, version 1.8.2* I've used this app for quite a while and on previous versions of iOS and previous phones it's worked great! but on the current version the app keeps stopping when the phone is locked which is totally useless and make the app pointless. The other pluses with this app are the other interval programs that are available ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2014-06-08, version 1.8.2* Sadly this app doesn’t work, at least on an iPhone 4. It skips intervals and tells you to start running 2 seconds into your 30 second or 1 minute walk…frustrating! ### 1/5 — App still useless *2014-04-10, version 1.8.1* Shuts down after 2 minutes with the screen locked. Who leaves their phone unlocked when running?! Useless as a running app. Don't waste your time. They never even responded to my email regarding this. ### 1/5 — Crashes Right After It Launches *2014-03-14, version 1.8.1* This used to be my favorite app while jogging. I've recommended it to soooo many people. Now when I launch the app on my iPod Touch (iOS 5.1.1) it opens to the Interval Run title page then shuts down. I've deleted & reinstalled - same thing happens. This needs to be fixed! ### 2/5 — Stopped working *2014-02-21, version 1.8.1* The app stopped working on my iPod running iOS 5.1.1. That's the latest OS for this device and I don't think the iOS software or app version was updated since I last used it. Seems to have just stopped working. Still works on my iPhone 5. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Interrupts Music Every Minute Even on Silent *2021-04-11* This app gas a minute counter that turns down your music every minute — EVEN WHEN YOU PUT THE MINUTE COUNTER ON SILENT MODE. I want my 1.99 back!! ### 1/5 — Nice concept but doesn’t work *2020-07-21* Used this today, day 1....started well but half way through workout it just stopped and then there was no way to get back to the same point or even to start over the workout and push a start button at my previous time marker Super disappointed and trying to cancel. Work out the functionality and try again. ### 1/5 — Not customizable at all *2020-02-16, version 1.9.3* Terrible app, it is not customizable the warm up if only a minute or less. The run interval is only in time you can not put distance or pace so it is not an app for runners. ### 1/5 — Once great, now worthless. *2016-10-04, version 1.8.2* This app used to be great. I can design my own intervals and save them. But it no longer works. Unless they fix the problems it basically worthless. I'm now having to find/buy a new app. ### 1/5 — Should have listened to reviews *2016-03-18, version 1.8.2* Do not buy. App should be taken off store. I should have not been optimistic and taken the comments more seriously. This app does not work once your phone goes to sleep, so what's the point on a run? Wish I could get my money back. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-03-26, version 1.8.2* The app is horrible. Doesn't work when you lock you screen. Don't buy. ### 1/5 — App needs to be fixed for lock screen malfunction!!!!! *2015-03-24, version 1.8.2* I loved this app until something happened when the lock screen was engaged and I'm running and running and thinking, "man it should have told me to walk by now!" And I open my phone to find the app just didn't tell me anything when it was locked and I had gone way longer than I had set it. FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!! Other people have reviewed this problem!!!!!!! Please do something about it - I've had this app for over 5 years. Not cool. ### 1/5 — Used to work great, something changed *2015-01-31, version 1.8.2* Oddly, as the app hasn't been updated since April 2014, it is no longer working properly. I set it for intervals of 3 mins run 2 mins walk, and looked down to see I was still running when I should have been walking. It used to work great but no longer. ### 1/5 — I used to recommend this to friends *2015-01-28, version 1.8.2* This app used to be the best among the c25k apps. I had tried them all and I used to recommend it to anyone who was taking up running. Now it does not run with the screen locked, which basically makes it useless. Please fix this! Oh, and the last time this app was updated was in April 2014, so maybe the developers are no longer working on the app? ### 1/5 — This used to work... *2014-11-14, version 1.8.2* If you keep your screen locked (which I generally do when my phone is in my flipbelt) it suspends the app. This never used to happen. Why would that be added in an update? It doesn't make sense. Please please fix this! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Customizable *2018-03-27, version 1.9* Pros: - customizable - you can add half minutes Cons: - has skipped entire walk parts of the cycle jumping from run to run - beeps seemingly randomly Great app but please fix!! ### 5/5 — Wonderful App! *2016-10-28* This a wonderful, fully customizable running app. I know it's received some bad reviews and they were well deserved. "Were" being the operative word. This app started out wonderful but somewhere along the way developed a glitch where it would just stop working mid run. They did an update October 2016 and now the app is a wonderful as ever. It no-longer suspends when you shut the screen off. It also lets you watch shows in other apps and runs perfect in the background without suspending or glitching out and returning to the main menu. I love this app and highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-10-26, version 1.8.3* I love the versatility of this app. You can follow any of the programs that come with it or create your own. You can use it alongside your own musical playlist as well. ### 5/5 — Practical and easy *2015-01-01, version 1.8.2* I'm halfway through the couch to 5k. The app just moves you through. I'm on week 6 now and ran 20 mins the other day. When I started I was running 1.5 minute. I'm very happy ### 5/5 — Love it *2014-07-13, version 1.8.2* I never give reviews for apps. This app though helped me enjoy running. Amazing! ### 5/5 — Ideal- works with iTunes open *2014-07-07, version 1.8.2* Does exactly what you need from an interval app. Set your own intervals with a range of vocal instructions and listen to iTunes while you do it, great app. ### 5/5 — Couch to 5k *2014-05-19, version 1.8.2* Amazing. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2014-05-11, version 1.8.2* I'm training for my first 5K and have intervals that a trainer gave me - but needed a way to track them. This app is perfect, allowing you to build workouts of varying length and content. I used it while listening to music, and had no trouble hearing the voice commands. ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2013-10-25, version 1.8* I use this app to do the walk/run method. It lets you create your own intervals so I have 10 different ones I use depending on how I feel. This was the best one I have found and I have tried many. Very easy to use and I use it with other apps running with no problem! ### 5/5 — Terrific App *2013-10-23, version 1.8* I've been using Interval Run since Feb 2013. It is simple to set up and it will work in the background of the GPS iRunner app. I get commands when to begin my intervals & recovery. I customize my workouts & it works for me. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
