This is a great 5K program. Following the 3 times per week run/walk I was successfully able to run my first 5K. I love the voice encouragement during my run and the ability to post my progress and runs on social media. The app is easy to use and never glitches. I can listen to my music while still hearing the run/walk instructions. I would highly recommend! Do it! Run your first 5K!

Great and gradual progression as time goes by! Really a must for my arthritis. Update: 11-21-24 The app is still working well. I use it to train after periods of bad weather and not being able to run outside as much. I love that I can listen to my own music in the background. The prompt "hey there! Awesome runner, have a great run today", is pretty cheesy in my opinion. Lol. That being said, I have no complaints.

I like the basic idea of the app and fully intended to purchase it if it worked but it repeatedly closes out in the middle of the run. I will start thinking the interval is lasting a really long time and look at my phone and it has force quit and closed even when in "locked" mode. I have to start all over again or try to guess where I was and its really affecting my progress.

Misleading! This app costs $5 one time, or $3/3 months. It gives you 4 running days to TRY. or was ADVERTISED as a FREE app. But it is NOT. ALSO, it constantly takes you to internet browser to upgrade, or to an ad. And the browser keeps taking clicks when you want out. Even trying the phone's back or other buttons opens a site. And it's not clear how to get out of an ad either. Don't trust anyone who likes at the get go. And who would pay so much for something so riddled with Booby-Trap clicks.

The app seems fine. You can't do the whole program on the free version, which isn't clearly indicated anywhere. My biggest gripe otherwise is that it doesn't automatically advance you once you complete a day, so I accidentally ran the first day twice because I didn't realize that I had to swipe forward to get to the next step in the program. When you open the app each day, it takes you automatically to what you last finished, rather than what you should be doing that day.

Great for training but crashes a lot. If this app didn't stop in the background so often (right in the middle of runs), it would be the perfect training tool. I start the app, go training but if the app stops halfway through a 5 minute run, I have no idea when to stop... Then I have to start all over. If they can fix this, it will be the ideal running trainer. Update: works great now and it hasn't crashed a single time in the last 6+ months that I've been using it. Updating the review to 5*.
