### 2/5 — A Real Shame

*2019-05-11*

This app seemed perfect for what I needed for my 5K tomorrow, but unfortunately it’s just too buggy to use in it’s current state. 

The UI can be difficult to understand (it took me ages to work out how to edit the amount of Intervals), the music changes on every interval despite me setting the option to tell it not to do so, and the prompt to subscribe to premium would continue to pop up even though I had already paid the £2.99 fee.

There’s a lot of potential here as most apps can’t seem to recognise Spotify, and I sincerely hope that a lot of it’s problems can be rectified. A real Shame :(

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-07-16*

This app wouldn't work if I tried listening to a podcast at the same time. It seemed to only work if my screen was. It didn't track distance accurately at all. It said I went over three miles when I know I didn't even do two miles. It also doesn't let you edit the intervals; you can't add more or less. I will be deleting it.

### 1/5 — Blocks background music

*2016-06-19*

Sorry, I'm not going to log into Spotify via this app just so I can listen to background music through another app. The background music gets stopped when the interval prompt voice speaks. The other running app I use doesn't block music from another player like the iOS built-in one.

1 star for "doesn't play well with others".

### 1/5 — 1st use

*2016-04-25*

App doesn't run in the background and it did not track my first run....fix this please!!!

### 1/5 — Complete garbage

*2016-03-15*

Wouldn't recognize my Spotify premium account and when I tried to bypass it, using Spotify app, it stopped my music each interval. Had to stop running to choose a different app.

### 1/5 — Can't use own music

*2016-01-29*

Downloaded it, signed up to Spotify for music. Tried to use it but then it said I had to have Premium Spotify. Deleted!!!  Waste of my time.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with Spotify

*2015-11-03*

This app would be great if it actually worked with Spotify.

### 1/5 — So disappointing

*2015-05-09*

I was excited to see a Spotify-integrated interval training app, even if I needed to get Spotify Premium to connect them. But the app just showed me a blank white screen when I went to sign in. I couldn't use it at all, and I already have an interval time I like fine except for the music issue. I'm sad to have to delete this one- such a great idea for an app- but it has to WORK.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-12-27*

Doesn’t work.  Music is horrible.  No ability to set bpm or speed up music or match music to rest

### 1/5 — keine Musik

*2020-09-23*

Es wird keine Musik abgespielt. Bleibt stumm. Kann jemand helfen was das Problem ist, oder liegt das an dem Program?

### 1/5 — Paid for Premium but features not available

*2019-06-04*

Sadly it simply doesn’t work. I paid £2.99 for Premium but can’t extend interval beyond 1min 30secs or programme multiple intervals. 

In effect useless for after first week of my programme.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2019-03-19, version 2.0.5*

App keeps crashing and won’t let me make works outs or add playlists.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-03-09*

It just crashes every time I try to start a workout 🤷🏻‍♂️

### 1/5 — Ergebnisse werden meist nicht gespeichert

*2017-06-22*

Die Bedienung und Funktionalität der App gibt soweit das her, was sie verspricht. Naja soweit aber eben nur. Total ärgerlich ist nämlich, dass die Ergebnisse eines Laufes meist nicht gespeichert werden. Da diese Grundfunktionalität nicht richtig erfüllt wird, wird die gesamte App unbrauchbar.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2017-02-04*

The only app I could find that supports Spotify, but just crashes constantly when you enable music. Could be great if only it worked.....

### 1/5 — App crashes the whole time

*2017-01-18*

Great idea but useless.

### 1/5 — Crashes when trying to load playlist

*2016-12-24*

The app just crashes whenever you try to start a workout with music, Spotify or runify playlists.

Downloaded twice, same problem so deleted the app

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2016-08-05*

The screen has to be on for it to work. Nor does it work in the background when another app is on.

### 5/5 — Obsessed with this app!!

*2016-12-17*

It doesn't track distance very well but who cares, I use 'map my run' anyways. But this is seriously AMAZING for interval runs and the music is on point....honestly the music is so good I find myself screenshotting at least 2-3 songs per run so I can find them on Spotify.  And the fact that it senses my cooldowns between my sprints and plays music to match the tempo is an extra bonus.  Big fan.

### 5/5 — A runner obviously designed this app

*2016-02-05*

The perfect running app. Super customizable, easy to use. Best part is it matches up to your spotify premium account if you have it. Amazing!

### 4/5 — Love! Still want to see future updates though!

*2017-01-03*

This app is what motivates me! I love the statistics it provides, the simple layout. I also like how I can compare last week, month and year to the current week,month,and year side by side. The music set up is great and I love how I can set up my own interval workout and customize music for each interval.  Improvements: I've lost a couple runs where the app glitches for no reason, the pace in my statistics section doesn't seem to be accurate at all and I'm not sure but it doesn't seem to track well unless the app is open.  Can't wait for the next update!

### 3/5 — Bonne application

*2018-05-19*

Bonne application, assez intuitive et l’intégration de Spotify c’est top. 
Dommage que les intervalles soient bloquées à 1min30. J’espère une limite de temps plus élevée sur la prochaine maj.

### 3/5 — Multifunctional yet not completely developed

*2016-09-02*

This app integrates timer count, music, GPS and custom notifications although the music stops working at times and GPS tracking drops in the background.

### 3/5 — Not bad. Needs work

*2016-08-15*

Hey team, I've been using for 6 months now. I don't like iTunes is blocked out. The talking stops when your playing music. If you navigate away from the screen the timer stops tracking. Otherwise I like to maps and tracks my run.

### 3/5 — GPS

*2016-06-03*

It's turned on but won't track my distance or pace. Can you fix this?

### 3/5 — Doesn't track distance accurately

*2016-06-01*

I love the app but what hurts it from being a 5 star app it does not track distance accurately. Please fix!!!

### 3/5 — Good interval training app. Could be great with a few improvements.

*2015-12-19*

I tried this app as my current running app doesn't have an interval training option. Runify has a nice, intuitive interface and has a good list of pre-set workouts with an option to create your own. Small downsides are that if you want music, from what I can see you have to have a Spotify premium subscription which not everyone owns. It would be nice if music stored on the device could be used. Also, when the rest period is coming up, it would be nice if the app tells you there is a rest of x seconds, then counts you in. Will definitely use the app again.

### 2/5 — Upgrade not working

*2020-04-15*

Good app except for sometimes app crashes without own custom intervals being saved. I could not apply upgrade to paid version. Tried reinstalling and logging in with another Spotify account but in the end had the purchase refunded.
