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.
