User Reviews

Users praise Get Running for its motivating coach voice and simple, progressive structure that helps beginners become runners and sustain a routine. However, many reviews report crashes and instability, lack of Apple Watch support, and missing run history/tracking. The app’s long-standing effectiveness and ease of use clash with stability and cross-device gaps, leaving some users seeking alternatives. Overall, it remains beloved for starting from zero, but stability and device compatibility are major concerns.

Simple, beginner-friendly structure with clear prompts and a gradual progression.
Proven to help users start running and maintain a routine over years, including those recovering from injuries.
Good integration with music and a clean, focused running experience without distracting extras.

Cons

Frequent stability issues: app crashes or won't stay open on startup.
No Apple Watch support or compatibility, despite some users hoping for watch-based use.
Lacks run history or results tracking, making it hard to review past workouts.
Perceived need for updates; some users feel the app isn’t updated or current.
