Run 5k (GPS & Pedometer) - Couch to 5k plan Reviews

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

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

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

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.

Love this app!

Hadn't run more than 60 seconds before I used this app. Following the 9 week program, I was able to run my first 5k in only seven weeks.
