What's New in Kotcha

1.22.1

October 22, 2026

Kotcha now feels right at home on iPhone Duo: your Home, your Coach space and your strength sessions have been redesigned to make the most of its screen, so every session has room to breathe. Running is better together, which is why your friends' profiles now show the friends you share, the people they run with and their Scratch Map, so you can explore every loop and trail they've conquered. And after each run, your coach's annotations highlight the key moments, ranges and takeaways of your session right on your charts, so you know exactly where your stride made the difference. Lace up, and see you on your next run.

Constantly improving

Started using this app when it was brand new. It was pretty bare bones, but I saw the vision. They keep updating it and adding features that seem useful. There’s still some glitches and plenty of room for improvement, but they’re building a community that I’m happy to be a part of.

The Best Training App for All Runs Especially Ultras!

I’ve tried many running apps as I worked to ramp up to a 50 mile ultramarathon this October but none were giving me the sort of workouts and mileage I felt would make me successful. Then I found Kotcha back in June.
Since using Kotcha, I found each week to be an increasing but achievable challenge. The workouts varied to keep things fresh and interesting which is important when spending hours running each week. Interacting with the AI coach for my two plans so far has been very helpful. Both my plans have been with Kilian and I find it a much better experience than when I tried training with a basic Copilot/Claude coach that was not trained on Kilian’s approach. Copilot/Claude will break you with workouts while the Kotcha AI will give you workouts and alterations with durability, safety and reasonableness in mind. It looks at many factors when coming up with next weeks plan, it includes reload weeks automatically that you cannot just over ride which is great if you are like me and inclined to over train.
I’ve seen many UI and feature updates over the last few months which is nice to see the app being actively developed. I’ve noticed a couple bugs and reported them to the dev team who were very quick to respond with help and feedback. Kotcha also started a run club on Strava which is fun to join.
With 394 miles logged through this app and a successful 50 mile ultramarathon under my belt, I can say I am happy and plan on keeping this app as my main training partner and coach.
