### 5/5 — Perfect  for Training

*2024-03-14*

I’ve been athletic all my life. Sports in high school, active afterwards, etc. My whole life I’ve always ran and trained  in terms of distance. Run a lap, recover a lap. Run a mile, recover. I would be so focused on the end that I’d burn out and not give up once I get there. This app allows you to train based on effort. It doesn’t matter if you’re a world class runner or just starting. It’s run at a pace based on an effort out of 10 for a set period of time. This way I push myself in a consistent way and am competing against myself. And the intervals are well devised tho I do think the app is more for ppl looking to train, not just go for a leisurely jog.

### 3/5 — Time setting did not match the workout

*2023-06-22*

I love the Down Dog apps and I have not used the Running app in awhile, but the 40 minute setting was giving workout segments that were not accurate. For example: “we’re going to do 5 minute intervals” but then it would be 1 or 2 minutes. Seems like a glitch in the program settings.

### 3/5 — Fun app, but marred by technical glitches

*2023-05-11*

The music and coaching make this sound, and feel like a peloton app. Unfortunately, the prompts that the app gives are often out of sequence. This is especially true if you keep the workout to less than 30 minutes. For example, it will tell you that you have to run hard for a full minute and then bring you back to a jog after only 30 seconds. Also, the instructor will say that you are going to move from a hard run to a fast jog, but then the app forgets about the fast jog.

### 5/5 — Agradecida

*2023-02-09, version 6.6.0*

100%

### 5/5 — Great addition to the down dog line up

*2023-02-04, version 6.6.0*

challenging on beginner which I love since I want to push myself to be one of those people that “goes on runs” it makes me feel like I have a lot of exciting things to build up to as I get stronger and faster!

### 5/5 — Best group of apps

*2023-01-09, version 6.5.1*

Constantly changing each workout. Very reasonable price. Use it everyday

### 4/5 — Great But Bring Back Treadmill + HIIT

*2022-11-29, version 6.4.0*

Awesome app, pushes me on runs where I normally wouldn’t push myself. 

However, the one workout I loved initially (treadmill run + HIIT) is no longer an option. Please bring this back!

### 2/5 — Less than satisfied

*2022-11-13, version 6.4.0*

I adore the DownDog Yoga apps, so I was truly disappointed when this app didn’t work for my jogging journey. 
It is super glitchy when not connected to WiFi, making outdoor runs way less productive, and the music selections are frankly terrible. I do not enjoy the embedded poppy/hiphop style musics, so I tried to use my own playlists, and it made it impossible to hear the trainer because there was no adaptation in volume for either the trainer or the music. 
I have a different app that I pay for for jogging training that I was hoping to get rid of for budget purposes, but because this one didn’t work for me due to the above listed reasons, I have to stick with the other app. I was very disappointed with the lack of usage and the incompatibility with my own music choices. 
I love the other apps this company offers, and I have a full access subscription, but with the jogging workouts not fully downloading to the phone and running off of data in-the-moment, it just does t work for me. 
If you treadmill run, it’s a decent option, but I was just underwhelmed with the entire experience of this particular app.

### 5/5 — Brings a new interesting aspect to my run!

*2022-11-04, version 6.4.0*

Great music and it actually made the run go faster waiting to see what was next. Love it.

### 2/5 — Need Apple Watch version

*2022-10-21, version 6.4.0*

I usually don’t run with my bulky phone so I was disappointed to discover this app is not compartible with the Apple Watch. It’s not usable.
