### 5/5 — Zombie Run

*2014-05-18*

This is the most amazing app I have ever had! I've never had the motivation to run, until now. But please add more game types, and speed types! It's amazing but please let their be more!

### 1/5 — Don't buy it

*2014-04-18, version 3.4*

Can't start a run and it's saying I'm in Africa. Want me money back

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2013-01-23, version 3.3*

My game works perfectly fine until it reaches just over 1/4 of the goal, or 30 seconds, whichever comes first. It crashes after that, so I have to go out of the game and start all over again, only for the same thing to happen.

I think this app is a waste of money, I thought it was going to be more fun, but I was wrong! I want my money back! This app doesn't even deserve one star, but I have to give it a rating before I can submit my review! >:(

It's a great concept, if only the app worked. Please fix this! I want to try it out properly!

### 3/5 — It's a nice concept.

*2013-01-17*

I was excited when I was told about this app and sure enough, when I started it up, I took off running. After a few seconds, I noticed the phone was silent because the app keeps crashing. :c Pity. It motivated me to run instead of walk.

### 1/5 — I want to like it

*2013-01-07*

It's a good idea and a great concept but it keeps crashing. I'd start up, turn my music on and hear that the zombies are only 50meters away. Then after 5 maybe 10mins later I notice I don't hear anything and I find out that it crashed. Messing with it while running ruined my run. I'll keep it on my phone in hopes for an update. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2012-12-19, version 3.2*

I bought this app thinking it was another app I was told about. This app is awful. It works for about 20 seconds and then shuts off. I've tried playing with it several times and it continues to shut off after only a few feet of running. Save your money!!!

### 2/5 — Eh

*2012-11-29, version 3.0*

It's kind of boring. The game didn't lag for me and it was a good pace but it was boring. The sounds were kind of corny and idk it could be better. Like maybe put a story behind it and put more challenges in it.

### 1/5 — I really wish it worked..

*2012-11-10, version 3.0*

I was so excited to play but whenever i start a game it tells me to run so i run and it doesnt follow, it lags and says i didnt move and that zombies got me. I was excited about it and i wish it would be more efficient for the money i spent on it..

### 1/5 — WARNING DO NOT DOWNLOAD RUBBISH APP

*2012-11-05, version 3.0*

A waste of space

### 4/5 — Zombie, run!!!! :)

*2012-10-13, version 2.8*

Super fun when it works, which is about half the time, but I think it's worth it! It's one of the best games I've ever played, and keeps me active, and it's fun to run with friends! Loooovve this game!
