I enjoy the different character as I’m listing. If you looking for something different or to help you get started this is it. ### 4/5 — Portuguese language *2026-03-14, version 2.6.7* Need portuguese please ### 2/5 — I’m on week 7 and have yet to be chased by a Zombie? *2026-02-16, version 2.6.7* 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. ### 2/5 — Not interactive, Won't let me delete account, Pay wall *2026-01-10, version 2.6.7* 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. ### 4/5 — Love it, however.. *2025-09-17, version 2.6.7* 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. ### 4/5 — Please fix the crashing *2024-05-05, version 2.6.5* 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. ### 2/5 — Good when it doesn’t crash *2024-04-10, version 2.6.5* The current version has crashed at least 50% of my last runs, probably more. Seems to be right as you unlock the phone to hit stop and record the run. I’m still using it but getting tedious now. ### 5/5 — I love this app but y’all gotta fix these issues *2024-04-05, version 2.6.5* I have used this app on and off since it first came out. I never completed the entire training (but that’s a me thing not a you thing). BUT my sister and I decided to start training together (2 workouts apart, 1 workout meeting at the park between us.)we both have iPhones…she finished the first workout and the app crashed as she was opening it to complete her workout. I was on my second workout when I went to reopen the app to complete my workout and the app crashed. In both instances our workouts were lost as you can imagine is quite discouraging especially when you’re first starting out. If you check the apps known issues it says that the app crashes near the ends of runs if you have many run logs saved WELP, I had *one* log saved and in my sisters case, she had ZERO. Please fix this issue! It’s so discouraging. I want to be able to keep using this app for training! ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2024-04-01* For somebody trying to get back into running whether it’s just to get healthy or lose weight. This is the ideal app. Really great production value in what they’ve created. Enjoyable to use and I actually look forward to each next run knowing that I’ll be using this app. ### 4/5 — For now 4 stars if I like I’ll come back *2023-12-18, version 2.6.4* I’m a trash man I hold on to the back of what is essential a giant compactor on wheels I call mine the rot wheeler and the sister truck tossed out the motto is picking up is our business and business is picking up so I’m gonna give this doo hickey of a game a run for its money as I’ll be starting off at a higher level of motion as most of my routes are houses so I run and run and run alone today I ran 16000+ feet in 6 hours and did 136 miles 80 feet of which is my own movement jumping in and out of the truck and landing gracefully like a feather floating to the floor only through my workload daily and I stop for nothing except garbage money police and sweet old ladies with soda and candy bars comeback for more story as I’ll edit my adventure in and tell the tale of whether i outran the mass or not and if I’ll survive a real apocalypse or not with my awesome broom sweeping skills and shiny sunglasses blinding attack stay tuned ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Squats? Skipping? *2026-09-06, version 2.6.7* 5k is about running. Who is doing squats and skipping in the streets in the UK? ### 1/5 — Добавьте пожалуйста русский язык *2026-07-17* Невозможно без русского языка(( ### 1/5 — App crushed, workout not recorded *2026-01-14, version 2.6.7* Run for 29minute, app crushed. No workout logged… ### 1/5 — App crash *2025-06-13, version 2.6.7* App crash even there is no other App run in background ### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing *2024-10-24, version 2.6.7* 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. ### 1/5 — Can no longer access without going premium *2024-07-22, version 2.6.7* 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. ### 1/5 — Won’t allow me to use! 😢 *2024-04-28, version 2.6.5* Keeps saying I have “denied motion” but I have opened all access - and still can’t even try it out. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Needs fixing *2024-04-28, version 2.6.5* 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. ### 1/5 — Нет русского языка *2024-03-01* Игре куча лет, не могут добавить смену языков ### 1/5 — ??? *2023-12-18, version 2.6.4* Wouldn't even let me sign in. I tried to create an account and it said wrong email and password? Even though i was making one on the sign up page? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I hate running *2026-08-08, version 2.6.7* I hate running or walking but this app makes me look forward to the next chance to do it. ### 5/5 — This is amazing *2025-10-05, version 2.6.7* 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 ### 5/5 — Pause *2025-09-21, version 2.6.7* 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! ### 5/5 — Give it a shot. *2025-05-02, version 2.6.7* 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. ### 5/5 — Best 5k program *2025-04-21, version 2.6.7* 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. ### 5/5 — Already love it!! *2024-12-20, version 2.6.7* 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 🫶 ### 5/5 — Best Running for Fitness App *2024-09-24, version 2.6.7* 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. ### 5/5 — Never thought it’d be possible *2024-09-09, version 2.6.7* 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!! ### 5/5 — Translate to Portuguese please *2024-07-20, version 2.6.7* Please, translate this app for Portuguese ### 5/5 — Fun way to keep motivated *2024-04-27, version 2.6.5* I enjoy listening to this whilst running, the stories are engaging and fun. Also a bonus you can listen to your own music. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
