"I love working out with this app. Music plays while I'm jogging and the voice over tells you to walk/run, no need to keep track of time yourself. Gps works great, I've never had a problem with this app. I highly recommend it!"

Super easy to follow

For the marathon beginner, this was super easy to follow and stick to. Highly recommend.
Doesn't work.

Surprised iTunes let this app on the store. It's supposed to announce when to run and walk... It announces walks with the voice and the pop up, but the runs only as a pop up no voice. I got frustrated and turned it off. Just switched over to the 5k I was using before. The app is turned off and still giving the announcements. It's interrupting my other app. I turned it back on and it didn't start where i left off so i can't fast forward it to the end the run. I even restarted the run and fast forwarded to the end. It wont shut up! wth? I'm about to delete it just wanted to mention the glitches. Hopefully they'll work these out but I'm done with it.
Idea good execution poor

Unless the app stays open and the screen on it doesn't announce the changes and directions. This makes for a distracting and extremely frustrating run- esp in the cold when having to constantly take off gloves to refresh the screen.
Ok app, needs improvements

The verbal cues doesn't work if the screen is locked. So you have to hold onto your phone the whole time. Also, it doesn't give you pace time either.
