Ok, but not great – Learn to Run Review

I chose this one because it has a 1 mile setting. The problem is that if you leave the app open, it doesn't just pause the music for alerts, it often stops it altogether and it doesn't restart, but if you leave your playlist open, you don't hear the alert at all (closing both results in the first situation). It's really frustrating to have it either cut off your music completely, or not alert you at all. All my other apps just turn down the music for the alert and then turn it back up (mail, FB, twitter, text messages, etc). It would be great if it had a setting for treadmills as well. Trying to speed up a treadmill for 5 seconds, then slow it back down is not easy (by time you've sped it up, you have to slow it down again). This app has a ton of potential, if it'd fix the bugs in the alert systerm and add in a treadmill setting (I've seen very few good apps with one) I can see giving it a 5 star rating.
