Great training tool, app UI is getting better, much better!
Kotcha has one of the best training plans I’ve used. It really feels like having a coach, and the workouts have helped me improve while still feeling strong and motivated.
The app itself, however, needs work. The UI is not very friendly but it’s getting better. In the last 30 days I have seen a big improvement on the UI. I specially like the way your complete runs look like now. I still feel the feedback needs work and I am still
Begging for type of road options, like giving me the options to train on roads that have hills on purpose or as part of the training.
But I love seen that app keeps getting better every few weeks. Please make a light version, the black version isn’t very “pretty”. I am excited to see what options are you bringing with ios27 and watchOS27. Specially for zone training.

Thank you so much for the honest review Jcokacola. We're rolling out weather integration right now, so it will soon be available in your app for your run brief and debrief. Looking forward to hearing what you think about it.
Great training tool, app needs a lot of updating for UI
Kotcha has one of the best training plans I’ve used. It really feels like having a coach, and the workouts have helped me improve while still feeling strong and motivated.
The app itself, however, needs work. The UI is not very friendly, it still feels a bit like a beta, and the lack of options like light mode makes the experience less enjoyable.
The training features are also missing some useful tools compared to apps like Runna. I’d love to see pre-run guidance with weather, things to watch for, and more workout options like hill training. The post-run feedback is excellent, but it could be even better if it included weather and conditions in the analysis.
Gave it one more star because it is getting better. I am still hoping for better feedback and letting you change the type of road to include hills for some workouts.

Enfin une vraie appli !
Appli excellente qui propose des plans presque taillés sur mesure.
Le point noir : le renforcement musculaire pas très au point, qui bug souvent (chrono s’arrête) et manque de fluidité. Vidéos pas ludique du tout et on ne peut pas écouter sa playlist.
Sinon, le reste j’adore !

Still in development
The app seemed promising but still too early on in development, AI executes poorly. Too expensive for what it can actually deliver. Unfortunately impossible to get any sort of refund so I would not recommend.
Best app for marathon training!
I’ve tried all the training apps. Kotcha out performs them all for serious training with results. I feel the difference and see it in the data. Keep up the great work!
Au top
Enfin merci ! Une appli complète et satisfaisante visuellement pour bien voir notre progression. Ce n’est pas juste un plan d’entraînement tout fait. Ça s’adapte à nos donnés au fur et à mesure des séances donc c’est juste au top. Les séances sont juste pil poil ce qu’il vous faut. Perso ça me fait des séances du feu de dieu, à la fin je sais ce que j’ai donner.
Seul point à améliorer svp c’est de rajouter polar ou autre marque de montre pour lié les activités !!

Getting faster & company responsive
I have been using Mitch’s for about 6 months and loving it. I panicked yesterday when it kept crashing on me and I tried all the fixes from my end (delete reinstall reset phone reset network etc) then emailed them and they fixed it!!! Running Sydney and have 8 weeks to go so really need it!
Can’t connect and open app
Saying “being offline” and can’t connect, multiple times
can't connect to the server
twice in 2 weeks
Continually improving
I started used Kotcha as soon as it was launched, but found it to be too rigid, so I didn’t use it much at first. But now I use the app exclusively to plan my training. Every few weeks a new update is released that make the app more flexible and better. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because there’s still room for improvement, but I’m sure the developers are already working on the next update!

Bien
Application très complète mais malheureusement la connexion avec Strava ne marche pas et ma montre Suunto n’est même pas proposée sur l’app
Response from developer
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis. Bonne nouvelle, l'intégration Suunto est en cours de développement, et sera très prochainement disponible dans l'app. Nous faisons au plus vite 🚀
Running plans
This app is a game-changer and has added so much impact to the way I train. Worth subscribing to.
LOVE IT
I recommend this app for both beginners and advanced runners. You can track every change and monitor your progress easily. It's simple to use and very helpful for improving your running performance. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love training with Kotcha
Programs adapt to how you are feeling, and goals are realistic. Would love to see the strength training exercises sync with my Garmin.
Best of all running apps used in the past
I’ll be honest, I have used many apps and none of them made me follow strictly as I used to prefer to run only weekends. But with Kotcha I started having discipline and now I run 5-6 days a week and follow everything also I love the way how coach support is there. I will recommend to everyone
Application TOP Courir
J utilise KOTCHA depuis bientôt un an avec plus de 100 entraînements réalisés . KOTCHA s adapte à votre niveau à votre forme actuelle on peut préparer ces courses le semi pour moi avec un nombre d entraînements par semaine modifiable selon votre agenda.
KOTCHA ne vous inonde pas de données inutiles ( Runna) qui ne servent à rien et ne vous font pas progresser on a l essentiel et si on veut plus de données il suffit de demander à IA. On peut avoir des données sur sa nutrition , son renforcement , ces caractéristiques de course bref top je vous commande à tous .

Great app
I like using the app. Good program and easy to use and follow.
Adjustments on the go
I’ve been using Kotcha to get prepared to a marathon. It’s helpful for me because it allows making adjustments on the plan if something unexpected occurs easily. The coach provides good feedback after every workout and helps with these adjustments on the go. On the other hand, to make things even better, I would suggest to have a way to set up the maximum time for each session (like one hour during business days). I haven’t found out how to do that yet.

Erfolgreiche Laufapp
Ich trainiere gerade mit Kotcha für meinen Marathon. Die Einheiten sind abwechslungsreich und machen Spaß. Jeden Sonntag wird der Plan für die kommende Woche generiert. Mit gefällt das abwechslungsreiche Training.
Pleased overall
I’ve enjoyed it overall for daily training. It did improve my fitness during my last marathon training block. I love having my workouts laid out for the week and the ability to adjust days according to my work schedule. When training for my last marathon, I was a little concerned I didn’t have any 20mile long runs but I almost PR’d so maybe it’s what I needed. Lastly, I like the deload weeks which I believe helps prevent injury. They continue to improve the app with various upgrades and continuously ask for actionable feedback from their users. They are continuing to get the kinks worked out. I’m along for the ride.

Thank you so much for your review Rob, and really glad you enjoy the app. Indeed the app calibrates the overall mileage and long runs to make you reach your goal while staying away from injury. But you can also tune this from the Plan settings to increase the intensity (this will make long runs longer) or by asking the AI directly for a specific workout when that makes sense for you.
