### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2022-08-19, version 5.122*

The app stopped working a few days ago.  I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled.  No go!  Please fix! 
I didn’t pay $$ for this issue!  Not happy!

### 1/5 — Cannot access app

*2021-10-24, version 5.122*

I have deleted reinstalled and resubscribed to this app a d it still won’t load in my phone. Extremely disappointed as I’ve used it for a long time abd enjoyed. Want a refund !!

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2021-10-06, version 5.122*

Just paid for another month of this and it won’t open. I want a refund immediately if I can’t even use it.

### 2/5 — Want to love it

*2021-09-20, version 5.122*

I really want to love this but I’ve been using the app for 3 weeks and lose run tracking on at least 1 run a week. I start a run and when I go to end it I’m completely unable to stop it and then it loses track and I have to reboot the app and it doesn’t record the run as complete but it shows up in the history. Thought it was a fluke at first but after 3 times in just as many weeks, I’m done with the app.

### 2/5 — I had it for 1 day

*2021-03-12, version 5.122*

I was super pumped to start running again and the apps seemed great. It started ok but suddenly the circled timer disappeared and I couldnt figure out how to see it again. Then my workout was number one in the list, and that is the one I chose. Half way my run, I noticed the workout I chose was inactive, like I never started it, but the voice kept coaching me. So I deleted the app, the experience was chaotic.

### 2/5 — Do not pay for the upgrade version

*2021-02-16, version 5.122*

I like the app when it works. The last few days I have been trying to use the app but when I try to open the app it opens up for a second and then it closes right away.
Really contemplating deleting all together

### 4/5 — Stopped working

*2020-08-15, version 5.122*

Loved the app and then it stopped working. Tried reinstalling, but nothing worked.

### 2/5 — Seemed good in theory, but some annoying issues....

*2020-07-21, version 5.122*

I enjoy running but hate running one constant pace and so got this app. I had tried an app similar to this and really enjoyed it but that other app didn’t have much Apple Watch capabilities. Thought I’d try and find another one...and this one is worse. The different programs seem great but these are the issues I had:
1. Still not much Apple Watch capabilities. Unless I missed something. I’ll look more into this and will update my review if I find something.

2. On the other app, you were able to preview the workout. I don’t think that’s an option here.

3. For whatever reason, when I would lock the app to go to another app (music, Netflix) when I’d go back in and try to see remaining time for the interval, I couldn’t pull up the timer! It just has a “minutes remaining” in a bar at the bottom but when I tried to swipe it up or any action to get the timer, I couldn’t do it. 

I’ll give this app one more week and play around with it, then I’ll probably delete it, unless I’m able to figure out my issues with it.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-07-07, version 5.122*

Tried to contact developer with no luck.  Opens and crashes.  Would like to have it fixed.

### 1/5 — Not for seasoned runners

*2020-05-29, version 5.122*

This app is a joke.  I entered all my info and my first workout says to walk for 7 min, then run for 7 min.  I would normally go out and run for 30 min minimum! 

This would be better for beginners!
