Love this app
This app is great. The watch implementation is exactly what I’d want in a C25k running app. I successfully made it through the program thanks to using it!
Great app
This app does one thing and it does it very well- helping you through the couch to 5 k program. The low one off price is great value, with no need to purchase ongoing subscriptions.
Love the app
I’m on week 14 of the 10k expansion package. It has been perfect for me. I hope they will introduce longer programs.
Great app, easy interface, lots of data
I’ve tried several of these watch – based running apps and this one is by far the easiest to start up and actually follow.
I start Pandora in the background, start Watch to 5k and away I go.
I look forward to the different runs and reviewing the data once I get back in cool down. Seeing the different splits for the different intervals is very nice. It’s interesting to see how running segments of the same time produce shorter or longer distances and higher or lower heart rates based on going uphill or going downhill!

Functionality is frustrating
Design looks nice but it's very annoying if you want audio prompts and music at the same time. I have to disconnect my headphones from my phone and connect them to the watch and then change the music output to the watch as well. Wouldn't have purchased if I knew I had to stumble through that process every time I use it.

No voice via airpods
I wrote to the company that makes this and received no response. I followed the faq troubleshooting and wrote a detailed message. Nothing.
Great!
Takes all the guess work out prepping for 5k.
TOP !
Macht genau das was es soll ! Komplett ohne Handy !!
It’s ok but not smart enough
The app itself is ok but when you need to redo the weeks, which absolutely every true bigger will need to do because couch to 5k is poor as a programme, the app does not track this at all and you aren’t sure where you are at.
Not the apps fault but couch to 5k is designed by a marketer. Not a fitness expert. The jump from 8 minute intervals to 20 full minutes is just insane. It’s a poor programme for beginners.

The motivation you need!
Just enough to get you started running without all the off-putting complexity found in hard core runner apps - and no stupid subscription!
The app gently increases the amount of running you will do each week so you're not overwhelmed and you can always repeat runs (or entire weeks) if you don't quite feel ready for the next step. Goals are celebrated regularly for encouragement.
Even my spouse, who swore they'd never be a runner, has started using it and they're making great progress. Bottom line, the app is simple but it really works!

This is a great app!!
This is just after I finished my first run and it was very nice!! I like that it shows you your root and time per kilometer too!! I can’t wait to finish this and help improve my speed and reduce my asthma too!! Thank you so much!! Huge tip donated!!!
Poor
Woman barely says anything, no encouragement and can’t get volume high enough. Sometimes can’t hear her speak and especially if listening to music.
Fantastic App for Beginners
I’ve loved this app! I used this for my first 5k not using it for my first 10 k training!!!
Works well but wish it included warm up/cool down in map
Overall, I really like this app. The program is easy to follow and works well with my Apple Watch. My one complaint is I wish it included the warm-up and cool down in the map and total distance at the end. It feels weird sharing the map with stats when it doesn’t include the extra 10 minutes of exercise.

Works well on the watch, but doesn’t show information needed during a run.
Whilst running, the information on the watch face includes “avg. pace” which is nice to have, but isn’t helpful when trying to pace yourself. You cannot change this. The avg pace is, of course, an average - so it calculates using running and walking pace. It would be nice to see current pace to help maintain a desired speed. The other info it shows, during the run, is “calories”, this isn’t helpful information especially during the run!

Nice app
I hate walking but I want to improve my stamina as strength training is not enough
The app is simple. It starts very slow so that even when you have almost no stamina at all you have the chance of getting in

Great guided plan
I have used this great app for couch to 5k and the extended 5k to 10k. It’s easy to use, easy to follow and apart from one or two glitches with not recording my run ( which support team are sitting out) I would recommend this app. Means I can run without my phone and hear both my music and the cues.

Great watch app
Excellent app on the Apple Watch and iPhone. Really helping me get moving again.
Very unstable App
I have used this app a couple of times now, it used to be great but more recently it is so unstable. For instance my last run (week 7 day three) all went well, I was notified I was halfway by the American voice trying to sound Scottish, and then nothing, no notification of the end of run or warm down. When I got home I took a look at the data on the app and nothing was recorded, it appears to have just shut down mid run. I think I will have to swap apps as I cannot rely on this one anymore.

New American Voice
I love this app and how well it works with just an Apple Watch, meaning I can leave my iPhone at home on a run. It has been one of the best purchases I have made on the App Store. So imagine my horror when I went to use the app today and the nice inoffensive British sounding voice coach seems to have been replaced with a way less pleasing “way to go” American voice with no apparent way to change it back. Due to this unnecessary change, I am only giving it 3 stars sadly. Give me a way to get the nicer old voice back and I will happily give 5 stars.
