Do they buy their 5 stars?

This is not as good as couch to 5k. The coach voice is terrible robotic. Theres nothing special about this app. If you’re running on treadmill it’s not accurate.

Abysmal

One of the worst experiences I’ve had of going into a trial for an app. The app would force start a workout on my watch even when I just started a watch workout so when I got back and looked at my run, it had three or four inconsistent broken down little workouts joined together, useless.

Inside the app, the main problem came from the inconsistent terrible voice over. It would just arbitrarily drop out and not make any noise the other thing it would do would drop out and then dampen the sound on my Spotify somehow.

I use the runs playlist in Spotify which famously change the tempo of the song you’re listening to when you change your pace. It seems to me that when the tempo would change in a Spotify song the runner app would interpret that as some sort of interference or some sort of request to mute the audio from the Runna voice over, so I had absolutely no idea when I should’ve been pushing hard and then having a rest rendering the whole app basically useless

The only cool thing about the app that I did appreciate was when you did a run it would send through little trophies into Strava because it’s the same developer but this standalone app is really bad like really really bad

Start Buttons

The start buttons on the app when you are logging your workouts don’t always start. They ding like they started and then I will be working out and I start thinking what is taking so long? I go and look and it is partially started, has a little bit of green, like the it ran for a second and then stopped timing. It happens every day I do a workout at some point.

The app needs to split workouts appropriately. I am using this in a home gym. Why would you have reps switch between bench press and seated bench press. I would have to unload everything between each set.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression

Thought I’d give Runna a go after seeing nearly all the running YouTubers I watch who use it. Went out and ran my best 10k of the year…..but Runna only recorded 4.57k because the GPS was all over the place and hardly tracked anything. I only know I ran my best 10k because I used the time stamps on my doorbell camera to know what time I set off and what time I got home. So thanks for messing that up for me Runna. Trial cancelled, app deleted. Sticking with Apple Fitness 👎

Needs work on payment handling

It is impossible to switch from a monthly subscription to a yearly one. This has been a solved problem for a lot of major apps already. It’ll also direct me to the website which will direct me back to the app. Confusing! Just do everything in the app. The training itself is fine and app integrates with my treadmill.
