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 ### 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. ### 2/5 — Glitch *2020-04-18, version 5.122* The app was great for almost 2 weeks but now it keeps glitching every time I try to open it. I even deleted it and redone loaded but it keeps glitching and closing out. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-08-23, version 5.122* Downloaded the app....liked it enough to upgrade. Suddenly, after about 2 weeks, the app quit working...can’t get it to open at all. Too bad because it was a good app while it worked. ### 1/5 — Runner.. *2019-08-20, version 5.122* App keeps crashing, Up to date app and still continues to crash. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-08-13, version 5.122* I couldn’t even get through the sign up part to try. Just freezes Oh well off to find another app ### 2/5 — Glitches *2019-07-26, version 5.122* Glitches all the time- want to love it but too many issues. ### 2/5 — App needs updating *2019-07-26, version 5.122* App keeps crashing as soon as I open it. It has now been three days and I cannot use the app. I deleted it and re-downloaded it and its issue continues. ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2019-07-17, version 5.122* Fix the bug!! Keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — Not able to open the app *2019-07-14, version 5.122* This app is a waste of money. I am trying to open the app and it shows me the open screen for 2 seconds and the app closes itself. Don’t waste your money. Disappointing and dissatisfied!!! I requested my money back 2 months ago, please contact me with the status. ### 1/5 — App won’t allow me to use it. *2019-06-03, version 5.122* Every time I try to open the app it immediately closes. I have deleted it and reinstalled it several times with the same result. I’m very disappointed as I’ve paid for a membership that I’m now not able to use. ### 2/5 — Crashes a lot *2019-05-09, version 5.122* Was working fine for 2 weeks then just kept crashing. Not my favorite app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2020-04-08, version 5.122* Now I remember why I deleted this app when I had it before. Glitches out at the end of every run- keeps telling you to walk or run, and keeps tracking your gps, but when you open the app it isn’t actually recording your run. 🤬 ### 1/5 — Glitchy deleted for a better app *2020-03-25, version 5.122* I tried this for 2 days with the intention of paying for the year plan, but it would crash during my run. Someone previously mentioned my experience with the app. During the run, if you exit the app to say, play music the run would continue in the background. However, you can’t stop or pause the run. You also have no idea how much longer you need to run/walk. It’s stupid. I downloaded running for weight loss instead and will likely pay for that app. It functions properly. ### 1/5 — Bad design, no support *2020-01-28, version 5.122* I am never able to complete a run. After cool down the app starts counting in the negative and there is nowhere in the app screen to end and complete the run. This is because once you’re out of the main workout screen you can never get back to it. This is terrible design and totally defeats the purpose of the app. As for support, I tried to click on it on several occasions. There is no support page that shows up. I always get an error saying page does not exist. Overall I’m sorry for users who spent money on premium content for this. Don’t buy it. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2019-11-06, version 5.122* Downloaded it and can’t even get past the login screen ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-08-27, version 5.122* You get through the initial sign up and then it freezes on the login page, can’t do anything. I’m assuming since the last comments from the app owners was a year ago and there have been no other updates they’ve abandoned the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App crashing *2019-09-11, version 5.122* Loved it was planning to sign up for premium but all of a sudden it’s started crashing. Reinstalling did not help.;( ### 5/5 — Great *2019-06-28, version 5.122* It is actually really good and it breaks up your run into intervals so your not continuously running and getting a couple walking breaks in between which helps you run longer while you are running ### 5/5 — Great! *2019-05-11, version 5.122* Just please please tighten up the known glitches! I don’t want to give you up ### 5/5 — Ready *2018-08-07, version 5.122* I’m ready to lose weight. ### 5/5 — So easy *2018-07-31, version 5.122* Easy to follow...I’m loosing weight! ### 5/5 — App not working *2017-12-30, version 5.122* I absolutely was loving this app/ fell in love with it, thought about upgrading to premium then suddenly the app completely stops working, what gives? Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling an i just cant get it working again, there are no available updates either, could not figure out how to message support. ### 4/5 — Stopped working *2020-08-15, version 5.122* Loved the app and then it stopped working. Tried reinstalling, but nothing worked. ### 4/5 — Not working *2019-07-08, version 5.122* App not working ### 3/5 — I can’t “complete” a run? *2019-05-02, version 5.122* As others have said, if you switch apps or answer a text mid run, you can’t open your run back up. I saw it still “running” on the bottom of the screen, but it was locked? So I can’t open it back up to complete my run? Other than that, I’m loving the app. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2018-07-31, version 5.122* I really love this app, I even upgraded to premium because the free version kept crashing and I thought it would help. The paid for premium version is inconsistent and buggy as well. It frequently stalls in the middle of a workout and the only way to resume is to cancel out of the app and start over (which of course erases everything you have already done). Would be cool if they fixed this.. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
