It's broken

The voice just repeats endlessly

I love this app

I haven’t been able to run for almost 3 years and this app is incredibly helpful. It is very customizable, you can see on a map where you’ve run, and the announcements are wonderful when telling you when to run and walk (could be slightly tweaked though).

Stopped working

This app no longer works on my iPhone. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling…..nope. I love this app, it helped me lose 60 pounds so it’s disappointing I can no longer access it.

Does not open

I purchased in 2018. App no longer opens.

Best training app ever

I bought this app with iTunes card and used had for 10yrs and it really helps to run 30 mins for 5ks
I just did a 5k last night and plan to start training with the app I was doing a different kind of training with a group in a run clinic but this is the best app ever to get into running I love it
