FEATURES

• Works outdoors, using GPS found in any iPhone running iOS 8
• Works indoors, based on pedometer in iPhone 5s, 6 and 6 Plus
(perfect for treadmill use, during winter)

• Includes Apple Watch app
• Wonderful, detail-rich interface, with day and night theme and automatic switch between the two
• Personal voice coaching during each run
• Clear running view, perfectly optimized for quick side glances during the run
• Supports heart rate monitor devices based on Bluetooth Smart (LE, 4.0)
• Full running history and progress with graphs and important numbers
• Extensive details view of each run, with speed changes over time, average and best pace and full map of the track

Note: this app allows you to test the waters for the first two weeks of the running plan. Afterwards you can unlock the full plan with one simple in-app purchase.

• Apple Watch •

Use it as both the remote control and remote view for your runs.

• VOICE COACHING - NO NEED FOR A STOP WATCH •

You only need to go out, start your preferred music app then switch here to enjoy the run. Run 5k will tell you when you need to change pace, in plain, easy to understand English.
It will also encourage you along the way to help you finish each run.

• VISUAL BLISS •

You can check your progress during the run with one glance to see current distance, heart rate, pace/speed + time left until the end of current pace unit.

You have a choice of light and dark theme, perfect for use at day or at night. You don't have to choose that beforehand - if you have automatic brightness enabled (which is default on iOS), app will automatically switch to dark theme when brightness is below 25%.

With our Today widget, you can check the run progress even when your phone is locked.

• RUN HISTORY & GLOBAL OVERVIEW •

Always challenge your self to beat the previous best pace. Review the entire run history at any time.

Share your speed (pace) and distance anywhere and/or export full GPX track then upload it your chosen running community

• MUSIC •

Use any other Music/Podcast app and play whatever you want, Run 5k will work great with it

When the voice guidance is played, music fades out and afterwards returns to original volume.

• NOTE • if you like Run 5k, make sure you review it here on the App Store - it helps others find the app and it gives me incentive to develop it further.
Thank you for your time.

Note:
This app uses GPS tracking to measure speed and distance. While the run is in progress, it will continue to measure even with the app in background; for ex: if someone calls you during the workout.
Prolonged use of GPS can significantly impact battery life. Since some of the run sessions can go for 30-40 minutes, make sure you have good battery charge when you go out.

Almost perfect
BigLan25

It's really not a bad little app. With all its feature sets, the only drawback I found is that I have to carry my phone for the watch app to work and get audio cues. Also I can't seem to get the heart rate monitoring to work from the watch (HRM only works with external Bluetooth devices, like chest-worn monitors). The worst thing is, it really needs an update (Last update: 10/16/15). The best thing is, everything still works GREAT, and you get to try it out for FREE for two full weeks before having to pay it's IAP (in app purchase) for Full 9 week trainer. ???? The developer is very fast at responding to any questions you have with the app when reporting it to him by email.

Barely usable

Even with the volume turned all the way up, I could barely hear the prompts! Deleting this at once.

Doesn’t work when the screen is locked

Maybe it’s an iOS 11 bug but it doesn’t work when my screen is locked. I wondered why I kept running and running.

Requires $5 Purchase
CWGthe2nd

After two weeks this app requires a $5 purchase price. It's a solid and trim app for getting the job done based on my two weeks. But once I fired it up to start week three and was met with an alert I would need to buy I felt hoodwinked. I decided to purchase a completely different, cheaper, and highly rated app versus the one that tried to surprise me.

Disappointing
<<3 krista

After using this app for 4 runs I realized this is not for me. This app is not simple to navigate. No options to delete a workout or edit a workout. Running plans are not customizable. The time during the intervals would just stop. I was wondering why the walking/running portions were so long. Halfway through my run today it completely stopped recording. Time to delete this app.

Great app for couch potatoes intending to start running
NancyDrew88

I'm on Week 9 now & almost done with this program. Love how it motivates you while running. You can also redo a run. All in all, I'm grateful for this app. I wish they have a 5k-to-10k app.
