So disappointed

Used the 10K and 21K app - no issues
This just doesn’t save my runs
As soon as they are done the run disappears
Despite several attempts to speak to developer nothing has Been rectified
Utter waste of money
It’s a shame as I love the training plan
Wish I could rate it at minus stars

Another money spinner

Claims to be a marathon training program but you get one week then have to buy the rest rip off
