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.

Was very good, now not so much:(
Was a great app but recently started crashing and losing my runs and all my stats. Contacted support but they were no help at all. Only have 3 weeks left in my program otherwise I would find something else. Very frustrating. :(
Ran a Half Marathon!
I never thought I'd be able to run 13.1miles but this programme builds up your distance and stamina without overtraining you. Wish they would make a marathon version too! (Highly recommend the 5k and 10k versions for those not ready to conquer a 21k. I've done both of those too in previous years.)

Refresh2
I the used their 10k and this was a natural progression. This app got me to my first half marathon without pain. I did well and felt great. Hope the developers come out with a full marathon app soon. That's my next goal. Can't wait ! Great suite of apps.
Enjoy the visual
I really enjoy this app. I used it to train for my first half marathon and thought the program was really manageable. I enjoy the calendar aspect and I also like the run tracking. It's very accurate and motivating. Also like that it breaks each mile down by pace and elevation. At the end of your run you can see your run. Great app all around. Plan on using it for my next half!!

Waste of Money
I have used the 10k app and 5k app from these guys and really enjoyed it.....this app however, not so much. It seems to rely solely on GPS, so those times you need to use the treadmill it's useless. Pretty bummed about this purchase.
Poor performance and support
Used the app and finished a half marathon. Lots of bugs (audio cues don't work, inaccurate GPS compare to other trackers). Poor support, reported bugs many months ago with no remedy.
The schedule is inflexible and frustrating.
Lots of room for improvement. It seems, however, there is no desire to improve it. Avoid.

Great for my first half!
I trained for my first half marathon with this app and loved it! I liked that it was distance-based and not time-based, and I really enjoyed checking off the days on the map for each run I completed. The only issue I had was that I only received the audio queues sometimes, and you would never really know when they would work or not. My husband and I used the app at the same time and sometimes he would hear it during the run and I wouldn't, or the other way around. Didn't bother me much though since this app had everything I was looking for.

Needs a minor update
I love 'almost' everything about this app except the fact that I cannot hear the voice ques when I'm playing music. So I don't know my distance unless I take my phone out and look which is a pain in the rear to do in the middle of my runs.
Great app but...
The halfway audio cues don't work.
Disappointed
When I first purchased this app I was happy with it but now that I have been using it for a few weeks it stopped working properly. I finish my run and when I go to save the app shuts off and deletes all my info and I have to manually put in my stats. I hope that this is fixed soon or I will be looking for a new app quickly.

Average!
Can't create your running schedule so you need to run on the exact days the plan has defined. Bummer as I prefer my long run on Sunday.
No ability to change from miles to kilometres!

Good trainer
My wife and I just finished the program and our first half marathon. This program is a good program for training for a half marathon, but you need to be in running shape before using it. You can also kiss your Saturdays goodbye for awhile, as all of your long runs are scheduled for Saturdays. Definitely worth the money.

Great App for a 5k runner
This app is very useful to get ready for a half mentally as well as physically .. However this is only if you have a base in running somewhat already.
Good not great
I've purchased the Run 5k and Run 10k apps. Both have a better user interface and don't require me to run on their schedule. This app is good but not great.
Good, but requires support of other apps
I have just completed the first week of this programme in preparation for my first ever half marathon at the end of May. The build up of mileage is clearly laid out and seems achievable, even for someone like me who only started running 8 weeks ago! The daily tips are a nice feature and the warm up and cool down stretches useful, although the 'change legs' cue does not sound in some of the cool down.
The app would be better however if there was more flexibility with the calendar, for example if your race day isn't a Saturday and the ability to move weekly workouts to different days. I also have to use another tracking app on top of this one as the mileage cues don't sound when the screen is locked. That one tells you your time, distance and pace after every mile which really helps keep me going! Incidentally, a mile on this app seems to be longer than on the other app I'm using! I'm choosing to trust the other app, purely for an easier ride, here's hoping I don't regret it come race day!
