I originally left a 2 star review saying the app doesn’t give me the prompts when I don’t have it open on my phone (like when listening to music) but that was a user error! Sorry. App works fine if you have notification settings turned on, and the program is good.
Basic mode could use improved tones

This app gets me up and out the door. It does the job. I do not like all the ad and upsell suggestions. Also, all the notification tones are the same. A small adjustment could help the user avoid having to glance at the display. For example, if it is time to run make it a two tone sound and go from low tone to high tone. The opposite sequence when it is time to go back to walking or cool down and the mid point and halfway notifications could be a quick double tone.
Great
jog for sunshine
It’s a great app! I’ve jogged for years but only a mile or two at a time. This helped me see the potential for doing more.

At 200+ and 67 years old I could not imagine me taking up running but so far, so good! I may join the grey and fit club after all! Great app.
Great!

Great for those who are not runners! A step in the right direction for fitness and weight loss!
Back into shape and an active life
Daalgrim
I used to be an avid runner- my Mile was down to 4:50 pace. As you get older, muscles and dynamics change especially if one does not keep up with fitness. I was trying to get back down to 6min but was going about it the wrong way with a slow jog and getting mileage in. It was frustrating and would take a lot of time just to run. I couldn’t keep at it because I also had this sore on the side of my knee. Come to find out I was going about my run all wrong because of my defeated mentality. This app has changed all that. The mixture of walking and jogging encourages a faster pace and to kick up your knees. The reason; because it’s only 30 min- it’s like that carrot dangling to encourage one to run harder and correctly to build not only calve and thigh muscles, but also the glutes. I cannot emphasize enough on how this app encourages kicking up my knees and picking up my pace during the running portion, thus targets the correct muscles and taking pressure off my knees. Because of all those factors, I can remain consistent and actually look forward to it. I still don’t like running- but 30 min isn’t that long and is a nice escape either with music or talk radio. The best part- being active helps me keep up with my son when I’m playing with him. Just 30 min of my own three days a week- enables me to go the extra mile with my son after a difficult day at work.
Great for us slackers!

Best app if you want to get started running. Easy to use and can easily be paused.
