### 4/5 — Apple Watch

*2021-02-21, version 4.4.1*

Would be nice if it worked on an Apple Watch so I don’t have to take my phone on a run

### 4/5 — Best running app

*2021-01-21, version 4.4.1*

In you want to start running this is the app for you from couch to 5K & beyond, me I’m using it to train for a half marathon. 
The only fault I have with the app is the audio guidance unlike others I have used in the past doesn’t tell you when you are at your half point, which if your into your run & not actually listening to calculate when you hit that point is annoying. 
So come on developers change this

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2020-10-31, version 4.2.10*

All good until it stopped saving runs like others have pointed out. Just after I started paying for it too... :/

### 1/5 — Faulty app

*2020-10-28, version 4.2.10*

App is brilliant when it works. This week the app won’t save my runs and comes up with an error saying the run cannot be saved and to retry or try again later. Trying again later the app notes a prior run hasn’t sync’d but still doesn’t. I have tried closing the app and retrying with full mobile and WiFi signal and neither works. Big fault having a running app that stops saving runs. So disappointed after 27 runs in to the programme!

### 1/5 — Too many technical issues

*2020-08-28, version 4.2.8*

I really wanted this app to work, especially as a fan of run pod.  The training plans wouldn’t load, when I finally managed to get a run to start there was no sound. When I contacted the support team I was send an email in Dutch, not especially helpful.

### 1/5 — Unable to safe my new runs

*2020-03-22, version 4.0.10*

I am unable to safe my new runs in history - it just does not update.

### 1/5 — No English Version

*2015-08-18*

Though the App Store write-up says English is available, the app installs with Dutch and the support group says they are working on the English version; it is not available yet.

### 1/5 — No English support!

*2015-02-22*

This app does not support English

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2021-07-08, version v4.7.0*

This is a good app for any sort of training plans, from beginners to marathon training. Its usability could be improved, simplify the ability to repeat runs for example instead of having to change your plan in settings.

### 3/5 — Cancellation

*2021-02-15, version 4.4.1*

Hi how do I cancel my subscription?

### 3/5 — More support during runs

*2021-01-31, version 4.4.1*

I downloaded this app yesterday and used it today for the first time
I think it would really be nice to add a 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down 
I didn’t think there was any motivation during the run, it would be nice to have some motivation and also it would be nice to be told you have 30 seconds left of tour run before you start walking 
I really think this app could do with a lot more improvement 

So day 1 I was disappointed with this app.

### 3/5 — Trial version

*2019-12-31*

All this is is a trial version. Nothing is free, only a month. Would be nice if it was advertised as such to not have to waste time downloading and then deleting.

**Developer response:** Hello, the app can be used for free to register trainings without guidance. In case you want to use our training schemes a subscription is necessary. This info is also available in the app store description. Please contact us via evy@start2run.be in case you would have other questions or remarks.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-05-25*

Great program, great value

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your feedback and 5 stars 🤩💚

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2023-03-05, version v4.14*

Tried this yesterday and it is just what I had been waiting for! Really good! Thank you.

### 5/5 — Best running app ever

*2022-06-27, version 4.11.2*

I can’t believe I only discovered this now! 😱 For years the scheme of Evy was the only one I could stick to and worked.. Every few months or so I would Google a picture of the scheme and then memorise it and plan my timer around it. This is soooo much better! I’m Belgian living abroad and being able to get the encouragement in Dutch (or any other language I want) is so nice! I’ve just started to use it but I’m really hopeful this will make my plans to run so much easier. Just a shame I didn’t discover this earlier. I also love the combination of the voice encouragement with the curated playlists, so I don’t need to change songs on Spotify every few minutes.

### 5/5 — I can run!!

*2020-07-07, version 4.2.2*

This app has been a godsend.. Really helped me start running again after my fitness totally fell by the wayside. I just couldn’t do it on my own but with achievable goals & structure that the app has given me, it’s got me well on my way and I won’t look back.. If anyone is looking for some motivation to improve their running this app is brilliant.. I am using it every day! Highly recommend!!

### 5/5 — Perfect for a range of speeds and distances

*2020-05-13, version 4.1.4*

I’ve been looking for ages for a running app that would allow me the flexibility of training for a slow pace Marathon whilst also increasing my 5 and 10K speeds. So i’m very happy with this. Being able to use it whilst also listening to podcasts is a massive bonus as I rely on them to get me through long training runs.

### 5/5 — My new running buddy

*2020-05-07, version 4.1.4*

I’m an intermittent runner and have been looking for a new running app that would not just track my runs, but keep me motivated. I love the way this one allows me to set running goals and earn rewards. Great little app, really easy to use.

### 5/5 — Just started running. Love this!

*2020-05-05, version 4.1.3*

What I love is the little nuggets of information that pop up from time to time. Also great that it works alongside my podcasts. I get to listen and every now and again get info on how far I’ve run and how long I’ve been running. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Got me off to a great start!

*2020-05-04, version 4.1.3*

I’m a complete running novice and got the app to try and run my first 5k. The structure of the sessions really helped me reach my goal in a progressive way without pushing me too hard, highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Love it! (Where is the English version)

*2015-04-18*

Ik vind deze app helemaal geweldig. Ik ben in januari begonnen en ren nu nog steeds 3 keer per week. Ik was totaal geen sporter en nooit geweest ben echt super blij dat ik dit kan. Deze week ga ik over naar m'n nieuwe series. Ik woon in de U.S. En heb nu ook wat vriendinnen enthusiast gemaakt maar tot nu toe hebben we nog geen goeie app gevonden. Het zou super zijn als deze app ook in het engels komt dan zouden ze 'm allemaal downloaden. Een cursusje Nederlands is toch iets te lastig voor hun. Ik vind tips en updates echt mega goed en het helpt me beter te presenteren. This app changed my life!!!

### 4/5 — Great app but could use a new feature!

*2021-03-17, version v4.5*

It’s an amazing app but I think it could benefit from having the audio guidance let you know what your interval pace and time is every 1km (you choose what km you would like to receive the audio from). Could this be passed to the developers for a future update?
