Disappointing it’s changed

It is very disappointing that Zen Labs have changed how the app works. I paid a one off fee for the app several years ago. I haven’t used for a long time due to injury and now I only get a week before having to pay a regular subscription! That doesn’t seem very fair. I will be looking for a new app.

RIP off

The app said a year subscription was $39.99, which is roughly £30, but the store tried to charge me £50 for a year which is a ridiculous price increase

Scammy

This company is highly unethical and doesn’t care about their customers. I purchased this app as part of a bundle prior to 2018 and no longer have access to it. When I emailed them about it they said they changed their business model and now require a $9.99 monthly subscription to access what I already paid for. You should have just made a new app and left this one alone. Instead, you scammed people out of their money. Steer clear of this app and anything associated with Zen Labs. What a terrible company.

Edit on 2/18: In response to Zen Labs who keeps commenting the same boring, generic response on everyone’s 1 star reviews calling your company a scam, (including mine), just stop. You did steal peoples money and that’s not okay. Also, you know just as well as I do that the Apple Store does not keep receipts past 2018. I made that very clear in my direct email to you with screenshots showing that. And I showed you screenshots where it clearly says I purchased the bundled app.

Not what was sold to me

I bought and paid for a full product a few years ago and “due to the current climate” they have changed to a subscription, this means the full product I bought is no longer valid. I have the 10K, 13.1 & 26.2 app and the 10K is the only app that works and hasn’t moved to subscription. I won’t hold my breath on how long I’ll still have access to that one.

I’ve used the C25K, and the half marathon app. I love them both and can’t wait to try the full marathon app.. my kids have even used the app with me and like it as well.

Long time app user

This app has been great for accountability and I can just run without having to think about anything else. I have used this app on and off for years, and just restarted the program a few months ago. Its so much improved from when I first signed up for it.

I am very happy with the simplicity of this app, and the ease of my progress

Finished my first marathon thanks to this app!

The program feels low pressure and not as intense as other training programs I have used. I was able to stick with it through my entire journey

Great app for training!

If you are someone who needs a training schedule laid out for you, this is a great app! The 26.2 app has your running, cross train and rest days figured in to each week to help you stay on track and meet your goals! I have used the 5K, 10K and now the 26.2 app and I really appreciate this plan having a little more structure than the shorter distances.

Enjoyed the app

I just used this app for the first time and my first run since leg surgery. I like the 1st marathon training program so far. It helped me ease back into running after I’ve stopped running for years. I feel great! And I will continue using this app.
