Glitchy on my iPhone

For some reason the screen doesn't scroll on this app so I can't access the pause and end run buttons. It also shuts of automatically sometime and I can't mark the exercise as complete. Really good exercises tho

Best app I’ve found

I’ve tried other apps but this seems to suit me the best. Plus I don’t have to keep swapping apps to get up to a half marathon.

Good when it works

App is good when it works, however seems to glitch a lot and just come out of the run/stop recording half way through the run. Rather poor when you have paid nearly £40 for the privilege.

App restarts

If you pause the workout and coke out of the app, but don’t close it, to say answer a phone call it will restart your progress. Don’t recommend. Stay away from this app

unreliable

i have used this app for about 10 years on and off. it is a great training app however there have been difficulties over the years. when i first signed up for the app, i was charged one time charge for all plans …somehow over time that got lost …and since then i have paid monthly. i have issues nearly every time i update my phone operating system or the app. this time was the straw, the app didnt allow me to sign in under any circumstance including trying to set up new account, new password, apple id …nothing worked. i contacted support but they never reply quickly…it is extremely annoying when you wake up at 4 am to run, get ready, get outside and then the app fails and you fight with it for over 1 hour …not a good start to the day …
