## Review summary

User reviews praise NRC for Coach Bennett-driven motivation, a free, easy-to-use run tracker, and structured guided runs that boost consistency. However, multiple reviews highlight major downsides: updates frequently drop support for older Apple Watches, causing data loss and unreliability; distance measurements can be inaccurate and runs may be interrupted by pauses. Users also want legacy compatibility and clearer communication about updates.

### Pros

- Motivational coaching from Coach Bennett and NRC.
- Free to use with no cost.
- Easy-to-use run tracker with miles tracking and per-shoe mileage.
- Guided runs provide structure and training progression for all levels.
- Helps users stay consistent and feel motivated to improve.

### Cons

- Updates remove support for older Apple Watches (watchOS), causing loss of use and data on those devices.
- Distance measurements can be inaccurate, with reports of undercounting distance (e.g., about 50 meters per kilometer).
- Run recording can pause or stop unexpectedly, undermining reliability.
- Loss of recent run data due to compatibility changes and requests for a legacy version.
- Poor communication about updates, including no warning before removing the watch app on older devices.
