## What is Waddle?

Meet your new running buddy. It’s a goose. It honks.

Waddle to Run turns beginning—or beginning again—into something a little less intimidating. Choose your goal, tell us what feels manageable, and get a gradual walking or run-walk plan designed to fit your week.

Follow guided intervals, track outdoor activities with GPS, plan favorite routes, and watch small sessions add up over time. Miss a day? The goose saved your spot. Need to walk? That was always allowed.

Build toward a regular movement habit, a 20-minute jog, your first 5K, or a 10K—without treating every workout like a test.

Along the way, you can:

• Hear run and walk cues
• Track distance, pace, time, and routes
• Adjust sessions when they feel too hard
• Schedule runs and receive reminders
• Collect badges and unlock goose gear
• Create private route postcards and replays
• Save completed workouts to Apple Health

Running is hard enough. Your running app doesn’t need to yell at you.

Waddle. Jog. Honk. Repeat.

Waddle to Run is free to download. A Waddle Premium auto-renewable subscription is required to start guided runs and unlock personalized plans, run tracking, Progress, route postcards and replays, Live Activities, and goose outfits. Pricing and any available trial are shown before purchase.

### 5/5 — Finally an approachable running app

*2026-08-26*

This app does not take itself too seriously like the typical running or fitness ones, and that’s a good thing.  The cute goose motivates me to make more progress than I had imagined.  Not using guilt tripping tactics is such a breath of fresh air.

### 5/5 — Truly gentle running app

*2026-08-25*

This is the first app I’ve come across that doesn’t make me feel bad for not already being a runner. Finally been able to stick with it and see some progress
