I wish I could love it

My only problem with this app, and it may be a problem with my phone, is that I can’t purchase the full version. I loved the 3 runs I got to do! I’d spend the $12, but when I try, nothing happens.
Love this app!

Gradual increases in run time build confidence & stamina. I like that now you can choose from a male or female voice, too.
Yes it works great, HOWEVER...

This app can get you past what you thought were your limitations. Almost every time I think “there’s no way I can get through the next challenge” but then I try and succeed. However! For someone who is really out of shape as I was, running for 1 minute straight is impossible, and that’s step 1 of this plan. So you have to prepare yourself before you start. Do intervals of 30 seconds running and 2 minutes walking. Start at 15 seconds if you have to. When you build up to running 1 minute straight, you’re ready to go with the app. And don’t be afraid to repeat steps. Week 4 was really tough for me, and I had to step back and repeat two sessions. Now I allow myself to repeat sessions to build up endurance if I don’t feel like I had a strong run. Other details: works with my music app to play what I want, tracks distance with gps mapping, voice prompts can be reduced if they annoy you or switch gender, tells you when you hit the halfway point, shows you how long you have left until the next walk or run section. You can try it out for free to see if you like it. Overall, there is no way I would have been able to train at this level by myself without leaning on this app.
No sound notifications and can only play iTunes playlists

I’ve been (trying) to use this app unsuccessfully for about 2 months off and on. I also wrote an email to tech support with no reply. When using the app I don’t hear anything except the start walking warmup prompt. Also, the only music you can play is iTunes playlists but even then if I’m listening to music can’t hear any prompts. I changed the settings and they look all correct.
Love this app! *Updated*

Update: The most recent update is awesome! I LOVE that I no longer have to unsilence my Phone to hear the run/walk notifications. Also, it now has you log how easy or hard the run was, which I think will be great data. I paid for this app years ago and it has been awesome every time I need to get back into running after a break! This app has really motivated me to get back into running after a long break! The only thing that annoys me is every time I close and reopen the app it starts me at day 1 and I have to scroll through to find the day I'm in. Not a huge deal, but probably something that could be easily fixed.
It’s great, but...

I love this app, but I have had to re-download it multiple times and other times I try to check what’s up next but it won’t even log in and I’ve tried multiple times. I got through the first challenge but it won’t let me go any longer and it keeps kicking me out of the app. I love it because I’m trying to go ahead and start getting my body summer ready and to be able to run with my dog for a while. But it won’t let me get in, so I can’t so if you guys could maybe fix that, it would help me be better at running.
Progresses too fast

I’ve used Couch to 5k in the past, which worked great. I’m a relatively fit person but going from a 20 minute run one week to 30 minutes the next is HARD. I find myself having to repeat weeks 2-3 times in order to correctly progress. 14 weeks from couch to 10K doesn’t seem like enough.
Super motivating
reviewer for youuuuuu
Worth every penny and even doing the whole program again ????
