Love it

Does everything you need it to
do

Worked great for me!

I was sceptical that this would work when I saw the way the running time increased… but I’m on week 7, and it’s been incredible to witness my body’s increasing capability! I like that it’s able to speak over my music app with its instructions; and that it has a “halfway” reminder.

Amazing App. Amazing Value.

This app provides all basic functionality for absolutely free. It works just as well if not better than the “subscription” apps being pushed now a days. I didn’t need any of the premium features but I purchased it to support this app creator that provides a quality product instead of a money grab.

The best Zero to 5k app on the market!

I am truly amazed that I’m actually running! Almost all of the credit goes to this app. It’s extremely easy to use and allows me to listen to Spotify while still sending me voice prompts when switching from walking to running.

If you are remotely interested in picking up a healthy activity but are unsure of your ability to complete this program, just stick with this app. I am seriously overweight (19 stone), hadn’t run since I was a child, and I could hardly run the length of myself when I started. I don’t even like running and never ever thought I could be swayed into trying it. I only picked it up because my partner is a runner and I wanted to make an effort to try something that he’s really into. I went into this thinking that I would try for a week and then rest in the comfort and glory of saying I gave it a shot. Trust me when I say that neither willpower nor athleticism got me to this point.

I attempted Week 1 Day 1 *several* times before I could complete that session but thanks to the ease and simplicity of this app, I kept at it and cannot believe how far I’ve come in such a short time. This app is perfectly designed for its purpose.

Does exactly what it needs to do.

Great app that finally pushed me into running and sticking with it. Does everything you need it to do and nothing you don’t.

Follow the plans and even if you feel they are easy, force yourself to stick with it. Running the last day on week 9 was a fantastic feeling. The app also easily switches to the 5 to 10k plan to keep progressing.

Would recommend.

Got me off my couch

Highly recommended for beginners who want to get into running. Simple but very effective

couldn't run 3 months ago

couldn't run at all 3 months ago. started with 10k steps/day for a month and then started this app and last night I ran 5k in just over 30 minutes! i'd like to get faster, but i'm thrilled with the improvement

Functional, simple, great

This app is great! I paid the very low price for lifetime premium and it was totally worth it. I never thought I could run for more than a minute or two at a time without needing to walk in between. I am almost finished and while it may be slow, I am consistently running 20+ minutes at a time! The developer is involved and quick to respond. It’s a simple, effective app without all the noise and mess. It does what it says and nothing more and to keep that’s a perfect app.

Thank you for keeping this free

Such a great app. One of the only running apps that is still free. Greatly appreciated. Super helpful app for me to get back into running!

Download it!

Super user-friendly, no ads or pressure to upgrade. Very easy to follow and I love that it’s free.

Easy

No bells and whistles with this app. Very basic. Good app. Helped me greatly.

Great simple app!

I have been looking for something like this app forever. Exactly what I needed!

Simple, well done and thanks

No ads, simple, no glitches, nothing annoying just a really well designed app.

WOW

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! This app is great it’s $4 or somthing like that and totally worth it! I’m on week 4 and the way it’s structured is so easy to use and really helps you be able to learn how to run at a beginners pace. Super happy and grateful I downloaded it. Coming from someone who jusy wanted to learn how to run !!

Straightforward

Getting back into it after a 10 year hiatus. This app is straightforward, no frills, does exactly what it says on the box. I do a Run workout on my watch simultaneously to get the exercise credits but this has nice prompts that play over my music or podcasts and the turnaround halfway reminder is a nice touch. I paid for premium because it’s a one-time payment and I’m happy to support the creator. So far running feels good again!

Best Free App

If you want a “C25K” experience for free, this is the best option. Actually free, no ads, the app keeps the time for you and tells you when to start and stop so you don’t have to manage that as you run. Great intervals that build you up slowly, and no big deal to repeat a week if you have to. Cannot speak well-enough of this app as a barrier free entry to start running a run-walk interval program!

Changed my life!

A few months ago, I couldn’t run for even a mile straight. Yesterday I ran my first 5k without stopping! I can’t even explain how amazing this app is, it’s the only thing that has kept me consistent and it’s free! I have made such amazing progress because of this app and now I’m moving on to the 5k to 10k program. Thank you so much for making this app Gary!

Exactly what I want

Perfect app to train for a 5k. All the things I want and no extra junk, no subscription required

An app that actually works

No extortionate monetisation, just an app that does what it says on the tin. It teaches you to run. I love it.

Great App, Also, IT’S FREE!

I really like this app. It is free. You can if you want to purchase a one time 3.99 thing that will let you use different colors and voices. I love that it’s completely optional though. I haven’t finished the program yet but so far I think it will really help me be able to run a 5k. If you finish the 5k program (or have finished a 5k program) there’s also a 10k program. I’ll be doing that once I’m done my 5k. I spent forever trying to find a free running app and I know that it’s nice if a review just says “IT’S FREE”. No need to read on! Oh! I almost forgot; there are no ads. The only thing I don’t like about this program is that the beginning is a little easy and you have to pay that 3.99 to get a lock screen pop up. If you decide not to pay (like me) then you have to open your phone and go into the app to see how much time is left on your workout. Sorry about the really long review, bottom line is I’d download this for sure especially if you want a free running app.
