Users appreciate the app for helping beginners gradually start running with easy-to-use and motivational coaching, allowing them to track progress and listen to their own music. However, frequent complaints include the necessity of premium for workouts, difficulty hearing the virtual coach's voice over music, and lack of adjustable audio settings.

2022-07-13	Al*****	Looks like a nice and helpful app, but there is no settings to adjust the sound of the virtual coach. When I play music on my phone and using the app, I can not hear the voice above the music. And when I turn the music down, the voice of the coach also goes soft. Almost considered buying the premium version, but think I'll start looking out for another app instead.

2021-12-16	ax*****	My experience with this app was amazing, I started to see muscles in my legs grow and fine tune themselves, along with that growth in muscles my cardio also drastically improved as well, I recommend this app for people who are trying to lose weight or if you just want a good program to be able to stay in shape.
