User Reviews

Users praise the app for its easy, free, complete Couch to 5K program and beginner-friendly interval progression that helps them finish a first 5K. Persistent GPS/tracking bugs, distance measurement inaccuracies, and the perception that reliable tracking may require upgrading to Pro are the main recurring drawbacks.
Pros
  • Easy to use and navigate with a simple interface
  • Free, comprehensive Couch to 5K program that guides you through the whole plan
  • Effective for beginners with progressive interval increases
  • Helps users complete their first 5K and stay motivated when the app works
Cons
  • GPS/tracking is buggy and unreliable, especially for free users
  • Distance measurements can be inaccurate or inconsistent
  • Free version may require upgrading to the Pro version to access reliable tracking
Recent reviews
Used to be free, now they surprise you with an annual fee at week four and can no longer use the app. Avoid at all costs.

used to love this app and used it for over 10 years but now it's behind a subscription paywall so it doesn't deliver that much value
