Elizabeth run

Imagine if you were a long distance runner and you weren’t very good at it yet what would you do? My first experience with the app was really good because this app is easy to use and it has really good graphics. The one complaint I have is how do you track your actual mile time and your distance at the same time? I ran a 5K really fast and I’m really impressed with that and I was in a mile. Thanks so much for writing the app. This app is really help me mentally and physically, so I can listen to music while I work out 💪

Weav Run Forever

Been a Weav runner for years now (initially found this app back when I started running in ~2019). It was great then and it’s great now! Awesome for beginners because you can set it at your goal pace and the music helps keeps you on target. Great for experienced runners too, making workouts more enjoyable.

Used it to train & run my first half marathon earlier this year- kept me motivated and helped me achieve a PR!
If I had to delete all apps on my phone except one, this is the app I would keep.

Absolutely Awesome, no joke!

To set a cadence/pace and let the songs continuously play seamlessly is amazing, to observe how the beats follow the changes of your footstep cadence is even more unbelievably cool. You almost wanted to dance during your run/walk as if there’s a virtual DJ playing and synchronising your songs. Not only that it makes your journey less boring. If only heart rate data could be imported from Apple Watch that would make the already excellent app a step closer to perfection. Well done team! (Just that can it be a one-off fee rather than subscription based?)

Thank you for all the kind words! 💃 🎶 🎧

Currently buggy

I was barely able to use the app enough to know that it has potential, but it kept crashing on me. I even tried to restart my phone midrun, but the app would still crash after about 30 seconds of play time. For a while I was able to restart the music with my headphones, as long as I didn’t open the app again. The music is neat in how it changes speed with your cadence, but for me, the music sounds slow when I’m running at a strong pace, which encouraged me to slow down. I think if they could fix the buggy issue, it would be a good app for faster runners, but not someone on the slower side like me. (For reference, I averaged 10:00/mile while testing the app.)

We are very sorry to hear about your experience. We’re aware of the bug with iOS 15.3 that causes the app to crash if it's in the background. Firstly, 10:00/mile is not slow at all! But we hope you try our other "Fixed Tempo" mode. Some runners enjoy following a steady beat instead of music following them. We recommend setting the tempo around 160-175 bpm. Update: We can confirm that iOS 15.4 fixes this issue, and is now publicly available.

Perfect for marathon training

I love everything about it! I’m training for my first marathon at WDW this January and love the mixes and the way I can choose the tempo of each song!
I just found the Latin mix today and that should cover lots of what I want, hoping for lots of Spanish reggeaton songs! I also love a lot of the tropical beat songs and think they can be added into the Latin mix. Thank you for this app, I use it all the time!

Great!

I’ve been running outdoors w this app for over a year and I think it’s great. I like the fact that the music speeds up and slows down w my pace, which helps me stick to a steady pace. I love knowing how fast I’m going (it tells you your split time every half mile). The music is good and a mix of current stuff and some older tunes. If you like, you can create playlists from the Weav library. I haven’t done that, and I just listen to the playlists that already exist in the app. I recently started using the Weav Workouts, and they’re challenging but also somehow inspiring (ladder workouts, etc). The workouts push me to try stuff like sprinting for 400 m, or for 60 seconds, that sort of thing. Rewarding to reach new personal bests! I run w Weav whenever I run now.

Thanks 😃 So happy to hear you're having more fun with adaptive music! Rock 'n' Roll!

Neat App

This app is really great. I’m a beginning runner & started using this after doing a couch to 5k program. I like that I can set the bpm because it helps me with keeping a consistent pace throughout my run. Sadly the last update 4.3.4 broke the app on my phone (iPhone 6 iOS 12.5.2). The app opens & then immediately closes itself. I hope it can be fixed but I understand that my old phone may not be supported. I didn’t realize how attached I had gotten to the app & now I can’t find anything else I like to replace it.

LOVE THIS!

Omg I'm not a runner, I’ve tried for years and always give up after a few days. But the work outs within the app are fantastic and motivating and I’ve been running a week straight! Really truly can’t say enough good things about this app and the developers. Every time the app asks for feedback I get a personal email thanking me. Truly lovely people who created an amazing app. Forever and always support them!

I like where this app takes me!

I was a runner during my time in the army and I have always enjoyed running. I got the dad bod with the kids and running took a spot in the back burner. Now in late 30s I want to relive that passion that I had when running in the German woods. I always ran with a little MP3 player which had all my awesome music of the time. Now I have Apple Music and I have playlists but it never seems to synch up with my pace. Having this app has changed all that. I have been running this month doing 5 miles every other day and the music quickly changed with my pace. The workouts are awesome. Having someone there with you cheering you on is a big YES! For me. I’m loving it so far. And now that I have downloaded more of the music it’s really coming along.

So glad to hear you are enjoying the app during your runs and workouts! 🤩 We promise to keep releasing more and more music! Stay safe out there!

So much potential

If the Apple Watch didn’t exist this would be a solid 5 star app, however, the reality is it does and the fact that this can’t run standalone to me is absurd. In fact even if you bring your phone along in a arm carrier or a small phone waist belt like I use, the I watch can’t even be used to skip a song!! I will give them that it’s free and the music tempo shift is pretty cool however, for all I could tell, they just warp the song’s tempo instead of transitioning into a song with an appropriate BPM for your cadence. It’s better then nothing, but working on utilizing the Apple Watch and using different songs to match tempo instead of just warping the beat would make this app flawless!

Great features, sadly inaccurate

I have been using Weav Run for a while now. I really wanted to like this app, as it has a near-ideal feature set for my running. Unfortunately, i have found it to be very inaccurate in its measurements. For example, during a run where I am going at a steady pace of roughly 8.5 minutes/mile on level ground, the app will wildly vary in my supposed pace - from as low as 6 minutes per mile (I wish!) to 14 minutes a mile. The app also does not save runs accurately. For example, after a short 23 minute run today (again at a steady pace), after hitting “save” on the run, my run time mysteriously changed to 19 minutes. This is an extremely common occurrence. My running cadence also is commonly saved incorrectly as well.

Bottom line - if the developers would only fix the most glaring measurement bugs, this would be a really great running app.

Thank you for your feedback! Could you please reach out within the app? Settings --> Help & Feedback, this way we can dig a little deeper into what's going on.

Best new app of 2020

So happy with this. Such a great invention. Makes running more fun and less of a slog now that I’m trying to shed the pandemic pounds. Keeps me moving at the pace I want to set - instead of having to look at my pace on the phone I just listen to the beat! Good music variety. Still learning the interface and wish it were easier to learn how to make my own playlists but I’m sure it’s possible. I’ve told all my running friends about it!

This is amazing

Omg, I have heard so many people talk about how well they run. I have tried to be a runner for past 10 years, bought books and all sorts but never been able to improve. I even hired a trainer to help me improve my running, it’s the worst feeling when you go to do a 5K and men and women, double your age, pass you up. I was so embarrassed and while my husband and kids are all at the finish line waiting for me to eventually make it. Well, here I come is all I can say, because thanks to weave-run, I am on my third run and for the first time ever was able to run consistently on the warm up. I can’t thank you enough for the creator of this app and I can’t wait to see my progress in next few weeks. I absolutely love this and needed a change.
Thank you

Perfect for everyone

This app has helped me be a better runner and I never get shin splints anymore.
It motivates me and it’s backed with an excellent support team.
The key for me is that it forces me to maintain a quicker stride without any effort. The quicker stride in turn causes my pace to increase and my stride length to decrease which relieves pressure on my joints and allows me to maintain a middle foot impact consistently. I end up running longer distances and feel better throughout the entire process. I run with my dog so I don’t take advantage of the guided training as much , but the few times I’ve used it I was impressed.

Absulutlely Useless without an Account

The app provides absolutely no functionality unless you have or create an account. This is a Dark Pattern I keep seeing more and more apps use to force users to register for their service. The irony is I was willing to pay for music I like to listen through running. Because of this I will be uninstalling the app instead, something that could have been avoided if the app had a simple “Skip” button at the login/signup prompt.

Application developers need to realize that users aren’t interested in providing them with their email address or associating their Google/Facebook account unless the app proves to be worthy of it.

It is sad and disconcerting to see the Apple App Store promote apps like this without thoroughly vetting them.

I love it!!

This app is amazing, you don’t have to pay to do it past a week or something like all the other apps I’ve tried. It also promotes middles sized woman and not to diet, which I love. It plays music along with how fast or slow you are going to tell you to slow down or go faster. The music has unlimited skips too, and it’s free. When you do your cool down there is always a person telling you to keep pushing. No complaints this is an AMAZING app.

Saved my running!

Going into my 45th year of running I was starting to burn out and breakdown. My physical therapist videoed my run form and was quick to identify where age and bad habits were causing me problems. With some corrective PT we were able to address a fair amount of the body aches due to wear and tear (high school and college contact sports; 20 years USMC service). Regarding form and motion, she suggested my step count was too slow for the intensity of runs I was doing. She suggested to focus on step count to improve my effort and form (over-striding). Always into music and tech with running, I came across WeavRun in the App Store and decided to give it a try. Instant success for my step count and enjoying running again. Hard fast days or slow easy days, I have my running buddy playing great music and helping me find the right rhythm and intensity. Now going into my second year of Weav running and very pleased with music updates and new training programs. I highly recommend Weav to family and friends that are runners.

🤯 This made our smiles too wide! Thank you for sharing. We're absolutely thrilled you've been getting the most of our adaptive music and workouts. Kudos to you and keep up your hard work 💪

Excellent App with Excellent Customer Service!

I’m a homeschool mom and this app gives me a great start to my day! I depend on it now....I’ve been using this app for a few months. I have happily shared it with friends. I like to go for walks/ runs. It’s great exercise, fresh air, and clears my mind. I’ll start with a walk, but the music motivates you to run. Just pick up the pace for a minute and when the music picks up, you don’t want the beat to go back down! I recently tried the workouts. So motivating and I love that the instructor told me to smile! I would like to see a short HIIT run. 😉 Also, I never paid attention to my time per mile, but since this app gives you feedback during your run, I find myself trying to do better and improve with every use. I recently made a request for music and quickly received a response from the company. Awesome. Love the app! Thank you!

Music to our ears! Ecstatic that you're enjoying our guided runs 🙂 Keep up your hard work!

Absolutely love it!

I’ve been using this app for awhile now, and can’t even begin to express how much I like it! I’ve been a runner for a decent amount of time, training for races but now mostly running for fun, and for the exercise, but this app was a game changer for me. I’ve heard of how important cadence is when you run, but never knew how to change it, or where to start. Then I found Weav Run. The app makes it so easy to work on your cadence, and stride, and how to adjust them to improve your runs. You can either set it to the steps per minute you want to be at, or have it sync to the pace you are doing. I like having it sync to my pace to see where I’m at, then have it be a set number so I can work up to where I want to be.
The music is great, and upbeat. They have a wide selection of genres, and pre-made playlists to fit whatever type of run you are going on. They are constantly adding new songs, and you can create your own playlist if you want to.
The new guided runs are amazing! I’ve never really done speed work before, and it can be intimidating for those of us who run for fun, but these guided runs explain everything making it such an easy process. They give tips along the way, and encouragement as you run. The different options are so great, and the perfect way to diversify your training runs. I now enjoy speed work!
Every aspect of this app is a unique, and creative way to take your running experience to the next level! Definitely give it a go!

The running app I’ve been waiting for!

I am terrible at picking music to match my pace. With this app I don’t have to! I can have my own music match my pace OR I can set it to a pace and have my music match that. Running to the beat has never been easier. The guided runs by Kelly Roberts are the icing on this incredible cake. I never thought I could do these hard runs but she makes it so easy and fun! Running faster than I ever thought I could!
