Fun app

This app has me out walking, I’ll be running slow soon. I enjoy the different character as I’m listing. If you looking for something different or to help you get started this is it.

Portuguese language

Need portuguese please

I’m on week 7 and have yet to be chased by a Zombie?

For 7 weeks I’ve listened to these characters (which aren’t written nearly well enough to get invested in their backstories) talk vaguely about some girl who died before you ever got there. This is taking so long and going nowhere. I just wanted to get chased by zombies damn.

App crushed, workout not recorded

Run for 29minute, app crushed. No workout logged…

Not interactive, Won't let me delete account, Pay wall

Just an audio book with distance tracking.
The app won't let me re-request the email to verify account, so I'm not even able to delete my account.
The app never even sent me the email in the first place to verify my email.
No interactive feature that maps the location of the zombie with respect to you.
Pay wall will not let you advance past week 3.

This is amazing

So far I’m only in week two but after years of using couch potatoes to 5k, I already love this so much more. The storyline makes you feel like you’re working towards something and the voice actors and scripts were surprisingly top notch. I look forward to hearing each week. Any every day is different so even though I’m in training it’s like I’m working with a coach and it’s a new day

Pause

I’ve just completed the first 3 weeks of zombies! Run! And it has motivated me to get out and run. I like this app a lot and would be happy to purchase the full app for a year if it’s going to stick around. I have one suggestion though. Could you make it say “pause” or even just make a blip sound when the app pauses. Several times I haven’t known it had paused while running. Today it missed almost 10 minutes of my running because I didn’t realize it had paused. Thanks!

Love it, however..

I absolutely love this app, however sometimes while it's running in the background while I'm on a training mission it resets my progress, and says I never did it. Also happens occasionally when I completed the workout, and I press "close." I've had a few times when I've had to redo my run.

App crash

App crash even there is no other App run in background

Give it a shot.

Just learned this company has been reduced to two staff and the company might just go away - sorry whoever you are, hope you guys find a buyer. All the same…

It’s buggy and might crash, don’t leave it open on the mission screen during a run.

Best 5k program

There are a lot of beginner 5k programs, this one gives you a story to invest in while you do it. Save the town, gather supplies, run from zombies.

Already love it!!

Before you read, I should mention I haven’t used this app for a while, but I still believe that I can write a good enough review lol

Anyway, I LOVE this app, it gets you right into the action and I think that it’s really immersive. I’ve been really into everything zombie related recently and funny enough, this is actually the app that got me to start walking and running more lol. I literally have been excited to go running and walking just so I can use this app.

The app itself is also super easy to use and I absolutely love how they let you listen to your own music. The app also gives you a little background about what’s going on during the sessions and shows you exactly what you’ll be doing during the video (walking, running, brisk running, etc.)

Overall I think this is a super cool app and it’s especially great if you’re into zombie games/movies 🫶

Keeps Crashing

Loved to use this app before, but now all it does is crash, and that’s if I can even get it to load in the first place. Please fix this.

Best Running for Fitness App

Since discovering this app all those years ago I have loved it. It is absolutely worth getting - the episodes definitely keep you entertained and hooked with the added bonus I wanting to listen to the next episode.

Never thought it’d be possible

Now if you had told me I’d be able to run a 5k after 8 weeks I’d have laughed in your face. And two days ago I still didn’t think it was possible. I don’t know what happens on week 8 of training but something within you just unlocks and you’re suddenly able to run?? This is coming from a girl that walked every single mile run in gym class… I’m not kidding. Never in my LIFE have I been able to run a mile so when I finally did it that first run in week 8, I told myself that even if I don’t hit the 5k at the end I should be supremely proud of myself and I was!!! But then that second run in week 8 I did 1.5 miles without stopping and today I did a 5k… was it fast?? Absolutely not lol but considering two days ago I didn’t even think I could do it??? I’m so so impressed with this app !! Would recommend even for non runners who want to get into running, they really do start you slow and you’ll probably end up surprising yourself!!

Can no longer access without going premium

An update seems to have gone through since I last ran prior to an injury. Now you get the “option” to trial the premium features or just opt in and pay for them. No option to opt out of the premium feature and use as before.
Pretty disappointed.

Translate to Portuguese please

Please, translate this app for Portuguese

Please fix the crashing

I’ve been using this app for years! I love it and recommend it to anyone looking for a running app. However, twice this week, my app has crashed when I’ve nearly completed the workout or just as I finished. It’s so frustrating that my workouts are just fine! Please fix this - the app is definitely worth 5 stars but not while this issue persists.

Won’t allow me to use! 😢

Keeps saying I have “denied motion” but I have opened all access - and still can’t even try it out. Very frustrating.

Needs fixing

2 of my first 3 runs just stopped the program at the 8th or 9th sprint and doesn’t mark is as completed. Only way to restart the entire thing and no way to fast forward to where we were in the session. Not going to use this if it just flushes/crashes progress.
