Can I get my money back?

Hopeless

Initially worked perfectly, but I’ve had to stop using

This app worked really well in the beginning, but as I progressed to longer runs I found it froze repeatedly, leaving me unsure of how far I’d actually run and incredibly frustrated! During an 18k, I had to close the app and re-open it several times to get it going again. As my half marathon draws closer, I’ve given up using this and have switched to Map My Run. I still use this app as a guide for when and how often I should run, but I just can’t trust it to work properly which is a real shame. I’m not sure if other users have been affected by glitches? I agree with another reviewer that the option to switch the days you do certain runs would be beneficial - expecting someone to run 18 or 19k after a day’s work isn’t realistic! If these glitches could be fixed; this app would be ideal.

Don’t waste your money

I found several free apps that do as much or more. Integration with Apple Watch is poor. Will never buy a training app again that doesn’t give me a free preview.

Simple and Straightforward.. BUT

Really simple and straightforward app.. BUT. 1/ it's really flakey with BT hr monitors .. rarely does it work properly. 2/ it really doesn't store the data in the health app properly 3/ it shows up in the activity app, which Is good, but it doesn't calculate average HR.. so makes me less sure on the calorie calculation. 4/ for whatever reason the app has to be active, the screen on and the silent slider off to get the voice cues.. other than that😀

Long Run Crashes

I started using this app 11weeks ago after graduating from the sister-app Couch to 5k app. In general, it is a fine design and the plan has worked well for me. However, I give it such a low rating because it crashes and loses my data during all of my long runs, usually somewhere between mile 5 and 7. I haven't noticed this issue during 3-4mile runs. This wouldn't be so much of an issue except that I run outside over sidewalks and trails, so I cannot keep track of my distance without the GPS. I get frustrated when I expect to hear the mile signal, check my phone, and discover that the app crashed on me and now I have to figure out through other apps how far I have run. The only reason I keep using this app is because the training program itself has worked well for me. Unless these issues are fixed, I will be switching to another training app for my next race.
