Keeps pausing during run

Kona112

This app keeps pausing during the run so I have to keep checking it to see if my run intervals are correct. Defeats the purpose of an app if it cannot notify me.


HELPS ME TO KEEP GOING

I absolutely love this app! My sister and I made our goal and this app helped us achieve it. Super great app. Very helpful and supportive.


Works good.

Works good. Can't figure out how to export data to MyFitnessPal.


Crashes Frequently

Katiweirdo

I chose this app because I like its method of interval training vs some of the other couch to 5K apps and podcasts out there. It works pretty well, but it always crashes when I get to the cool down and doesn't save my progress. I don't mind so much because I'm just using it to tell me when to run, so as long as I get to the cool down before it crashes, I'm good. I read another review that said they were having the same problem, so it would be awesome to see that bug worked out in a future update.


Crashes

I like the training and notifications and you can play music in another app but when you get to the end of your run it crashes and it doesn't save to your run history.


Useful if it works

First two runs the app crashed mid run. Third run the notification that it was time to run didn't play, but the walk notifications came through loud and clear.


Stops working half way through run

Big rubber bands

Constantly glitches and freezes. It's annoying


Lots of glitches...

The notifications to run and walk only work for the first half of each work out. They always stop working around the 7th interval. Also, the app has crashed in the last minute of the cool down on my last three runs, loosing the progress on each run. This is not a reliable app by any means.


It works

I am 50 years old with zero running experience. I was able to follow the plan because it told me exactly how much to run each day. By week 7, I was ready for my 5k. App itself is a little quirky and it quickly drains your battery, but the price was right. ?


Disappointed

This was me week 1 As a person who ran frequently in prior decades and who is bothered by heat thanks to MS, this app seems to be a way back to outdoor exercise. Me week 3 I noticed longer than usual intervals and saw that a walk or run was completely skipped. Initially I thought it was me. So I paid closer attention. It continued to happen. Days 3, 4, 5, 6 it happened every time. On day 4, I bought the Pro version and had the same result. Just completed run 6 and I'll be deleting this app as I had the same situation. Intermittent notifications aren't helpful. There must be bugs in the app so don't waste $$$ getting the Pro.
