Running app

Easy to follow plan!!

IT’s stopped recording my runs

It’s stopped recording my runs

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

Great for those who did the earlier apps

Love the app. Have used them all up to get to here. Only disappointment is that it isn’t available on the Apple Watch like the Couch to 5 and 10.

Terrible all

This app charges you yearly with literally no explanation as to how to end the “subscription “…..I didn’t sign up for this and have no way to end it. Don’t waste your money there are plenty of other ways to train for a marathon

Poor experience

I'm not sure where all these top reviews are coming from. The app won't talk to issue commands like it's supposed to. I don't trust it for training. Now apple won't refund my money even though I've had it less than a week.

Great app!

Simple and functional, this is just the motivation I need to stick to a training plan. Couch to 5K got me running and hopefully this gets me to marathon distance!

Great running app!

I’m 55 and just ran my first Half Marathon & I used this app to train. Now I’m motivated to train for the full distance.

Very user unfriendly. Couldn’t link plan to my calendar.

Not good

This app has some significant bugs

There are quite a few problems with this app. Firstly the program will jump to the end even with a simple hard stride - this has happened over and over - if my iPhone is in my running pocket or an arm band iPhone holder. The other major problem is that if I’m on a 150 program the app timer gets stuck and will not stop running so for instance a 150 minute program can run on for 5 hours. These 2 problems need to get fixed ASAP.

Garbage

Terrible app, counting in your head is more accurate

It’s made a non runner into a runner

In May 2019 I started with the 0 to 5k app and have now reached the dizzy heights of this 42k app.. I can vouch that by following the series of apps and strictly sticking to each programme you will reach each goal.. in the process I have lost 32lb and the fittest I have ever been and have already got my place in one of the biggest marathons next year... and your never to old to start as am in my late 50’s

Desired finish time

It is kind of sad that you can’t type your desired finish time? Or did I miss something?

Not much to it.

I found it to be just a gps and not much more. I am sure if you paid for the upgrade it would be better but I am not willing to spend the money to find out if the basic is so feature basic I can’t tell what it does.

5 stars?

I’m not quite sure why this is so highly rated, on my first run was slightly confused by the instructions “start running” then “run slightly faster” followed by “start running”, did I miss something as I thought I was already running! It is not clear what pace I should be running during each workout, is it all the same pace other than “run slightly faster”? It has also jumped very quickly in time from a 70 minute run two days ago to 100 minutes today, surely that’s too much of a jump? I will stick with it as I paid for pro and there are no other options but there is room for improvement.

Good programme, poor distance measurements

As title suggests

Awesome

Simple easy to use and keeps me going!

1st Marathon

I used the 5k app to start running again after several years and the 21K app to train for my 1st half marathon. Loved both. Kept me motivated and on track. Bought the 42k to train for my first marathon. Highly recommended.
