It could be me and the music going at the same time. Overall it is simple and it’s doing what I need it to. ### 4/5 — Really great start! *2023-09-11* I really enjoy this app! I like that I get 4 training apps (5K, 10K, Half M, Full M) in one. My only issue is that sometimes it will cut off if I take a call. ### 3/5 — Eher einfach *2023-01-26* Leider nur eingeschränkte Einstellmöglichkeiten und Optisch eher einfach. ### 4/5 — Easy to Use *2022-02-14* The app is easy to use. It keeps me engage during my runs and I’m looking forward to using it during other trainings in the future. ### 3/5 — Good *2021-05-26* Pretty good app as it has the 5k 10k and half marathon programmes all in one place. Really need it on my Apple Watch for it to be properly functional. ### 3/5 — Just eh.. *2020-10-11* This is definitely no frills which is fine but... I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall several times. Sometimes it just stops. If you get a phone call it stops running and doesn’t restart. But the funniest part is that while you are running with the app, it sends a notification that “It’s time to do your exercise of half marathon now!!” Or even better 30 minutes after you finished. No way am I going out again. It’s definitely quirky. ### 4/5 — Simple and easy to use *2020-07-14* Easy to use app, just wish it would link up with my Garmin account, but you can’t everything can you 🤷‍♀️ ### 4/5 — Motivated *2020-06-02, version 4.0* Great app keeps me motivated and looking forward to the next step. My go to running app! ### 4/5 — Cool app to keep on track *2020-05-01* If you’re trying io start or increase short distance running this is a good tool to get started. ### 4/5 — Overall great app *2020-04-11* The adverts cover up some of the vital information, such as running times, which can be a bit annoying. I understand the purpose of ads but they could be better placed. The voice is also a little bit on the quiet side so have to rely on my phones vibrate function and try and remember if I’m supposed to be running or walking (which I guess is just the opposite to what I’m doing before it starts vibrating, as long as I’m not cheating...) Overall a pretty good app though. I’ve found other half marathon apps a bit difficult for my ability but this is great for me and really easy to use. Plus if I’m struggling with a week it’s really easy to skip back a week if I need to. ### 3/5 — Frustrated I paid for the map addition *2020-03-06* For indoors it’s great to have the timer. I paid for the map addition and I’m very disappointed. I do half road running and half trail running. It only tracks the road running. I still need to use another ap for an accurate map. ### 4/5 — Great App *2020-02-01* I am enjoying running using this app. Yes the female voice is a bit quiet but that is the only negative I have found so far. ### 3/5 — Good App *2019-10-15* Clear instructions.Easy to follow, however you can not synchronize with any other apps or watches. And there is no way to add distance or time. ### 3/5 — So far so good *2019-06-19* I have just started using this particular app. Loved the other Runcoach app where you set goals and the workouts are geared towards each goal. Starting over and wanted to try the interval training. Again, so far so good. Do wish the Voice was louder— can’t hear it when I have music on. Which is a bummer that I can’t listen to music. Hope this is fixed sooner rather than later. ### 3/5 — It keeps me at week 1 day 1 *2019-06-10* So it’s either there’s something I don’t know or something fails me. Every time I start a run it’s always week 1 day 1 I would like it more if I could move on to day 2! ### 3/5 — Run coach *2019-05-12, version 3.0.1* Certainly makes me run further and for longer. I’m enjoying the app but would be good if the voice prompts were louder, it measured distance and it went to the latest run rather than back to the beginning (or maybe I’m doing something wrong). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-02-21* Hopeless app. Couldn’t get it to work at work at all. Zero instructions for half marathon ### 1/5 — Not working well *2018-12-10* It dropped the gps signal at 0.9 miles. I had run over 3.5 miles in the 45 minutes as I was running a familiar route and simultaneously running map my run. Not sure why it dropped the gps. Not worth much for training if that keeps happening. ### 1/5 — Flawed *2018-10-14* App won’t stay open in background so it loses your run when you change your music or open another app. Doesn’t give total time of workout which would be helpful when planning a run. ### 1/5 — Wow, is this a joke? *2017-05-02, version 3.0* I was going to recommend a half time clue and raising the voice of the coach, but at the end of the first training the app didn't even record distance... bye bye ### 1/5 — There's better out there *2014-04-09, version 1.2* Crashed when I tried to use it. Started out fine but froze about 7 minutes into the run. ### 2/5 — Need Apple Watch app *2020-10-29, version 4.0* Love the app and would give it 5 stars. I just don’t want to carry phone with me so we need to get a watch app for use without phone. ### 2/5 — Why so small?? *2020-08-18, version 4.0* The interval clock is way to small! There is so much real estate in that large hourglass timer. I either need to run with my readers on or search for a new app. I got through day one squinting at my screen. ### 2/5 — Had potential but... *2017-08-17* I wanted to like it but it isn't even accurate counting down how much longer to go. Tried to manually edit but it won't let me do that either. Disappointing because I'm in week 4. This has been a problem all along but today it's very bad. I'm switching. ### 2/5 — Paused 4x on its own. *2014-09-12, version 1.2* This app was so frustrating, I deleted it after the first use. It paused my workout erroneously and without warning, four times, which threw my intervals off. In addition, its countdown chimes are oddly arrhythmic and random. ### 3/5 — Really great start! *2024-10-16* I really enjoy this app! I like that I get 4 training apps (5K, 10K, Half M, Full M) in one. My only issue is that sometimes it will cut off if I take a call. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-08-07, version 5.0* Great ### 5/5 — Great so far! *2021-02-12* Keeps me on track! Trying this as something new! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Run half marathon *2021-01-12, version 4.0* As this program is easy to follow and understand it helps with the doubt that I can do this. ### 5/5 — So motivating *2020-12-30* I ran a half marathon in 2019 with the help of this app. It's so easy to follow and is perfect for beginners to get long distance running. ### 5/5 — Happy *2019-11-26, version 3.0.1* As a bit of a beginner, this App is perfect for me - as it tells me what to do & for how long. I’m slowly building up my pace & strength which I’m happy about. ### 5/5 — Run Coach *2019-09-28* I love this app. It is so easy to use and helped me reach my first half marathon. I love the breaks between also. It allows you to take a breather and strength to continue your run. Thank you for making it easy to follow. ### 5/5 — What You Need and Free *2019-09-03* I’m not new to running, but as a I get older and start to train for a half with a run/walk method I am pleased with this app! I’m in my 3rd week and the app is easy and straight forward. For those new to distance running you MUST cross train which isn’t in the app. For me, I do yoga 5 days a week to keep my body limber and build strength, but do something to keep your spine and joints heathy. ### 5/5 — Renewing my love of running *2019-08-28* Absolutely love this app. Feels great following the intervals. Start to feel good about running again. Definitely worth downloading ### 5/5 — Couch To half marathon *2019-08-18* The app itself is good but the starting days of running should be less time then building up. Also the voice that tell you to start run or walk is too quiet ### 5/5 — Run coach *2019-07-20* The best app !! I love it...really helpful !! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
