User Reviews

Users appreciate the app for providing digital access to the Runner's World magazine with good readability and quality. However, multiple reviews report serious flaws such as persistent login failures, inability to access subscribed premium content, frequent crashes, and poor customer service. Navigation problems and forced paywalls also frustrate users. These issues overshadow the benefits, making the app unreliable for many paying customers seeking full training and article access.

Cons

Frequent login issues even after subscription purchase
Unhelpful and slow customer support with little resolution
App crashes or shuts down unexpectedly during use
Many users cannot access premium content despite having subscriptions
App navigation issues including unwanted screen shifts and forced subscription paywalls

Recent reviews

Using app on android phone. Trying scroll up & down and it constantly goes left or right to shop or subscribe screens. When going back to training plans it will then spin trying to load.

The app sucks. Buying a membership is even worse. Don't waste your time and money. There is no convenient way to access anything and every article I get is blocked despite my "premium" access account. Help has been non-existent.
