Good app

Generally speaking I really like this app. But as of today I'm deleting it from my phone and finding a different app. My only gripe about this app is the placement of the "end workout" button. I cannot tell you how many times I've accidentally ended my workout because the button is literally on top of the "resume" button and is just too easy to hit accidentally. In order to go back to the point you were at, you need to fast forward and instead of going to each phase, it seems to have a weird time set for fast forward and reverse, so you can't get back to the stage you were at when you accidentally ended the workout. Everything else works as advertised and is an easy layout to follow.
Great for beginners!

I used this app to train for my first 5 and 10ks. I've now run my first half. It's really great for those who don't know how to push themselves farther without pushing too far. Definitely helped my training!
Excellent for beginners

This is a structured and effective way to get from 0 to 5k. The stretches are a useful addition. The only improvement I can suggest is advice or guidelines on breathing techniques.
Great App

I used this app to train for the Bearathon, it is a 5k or half marathon race hosted by Baylor University. I was able to go from not being able to run for a minute straight to being able to run a 5k in 26 minutes by completing the program! I love it!
It really works

I started this program barely being able to run the 45 seconds on week one. Every week I kept thinking, "there's no way I can run x minutes." I repeated a few days in the earlier weeks, but since about week five I haven't repeated any. I ran the 20 minutes today for week 6 day 3 and it was much easier than I expected. My pace is slower than a 30 minute 5k so it will take me a couple weeks longer than this program, but I'm okay with that. This program gave me the push I needed and trains you at a nice slow pace. Also, you can use pandora simultaneously AND the app will give voice commands when locked. And there is now a GPS function. Thank you, Felt Tip! I'm grateful.
Works pretty well

My biggest issue is I can't trust the program to say the commands aloud. Sometimes it just doesn't say them aloud and that messes with my training. Also I wish you could skip back in less than 1 minute intervals because when it doesn't say it aloud I want to go back and I have to go back a full minute. I usually don't miss her saying something by a whole minute so that screws me up too.
Great way to get started

I've had this app for 3 years. It has greatly improved since the first time I used it. Gives you stretches, cues work fine as long as sound on my phone is turned on, allows you to play music through app and overall a great app.
Amazing

This app really motivated me to run. The only thing I would change is allowing the runner to make notes on each day
I love this app.

I started off in the worst shape of my life and this app has slowly turned that around. It's literally revamped my entire lifestyle to the point that I actually enjoy running and completing the next work out. I feel myself slowly getting back into shape. Love it!!!
