User Reviews

Overall, users praise the app for its beginner-friendly, structured progression, motivating verbal coaching, and the ability to use their own music, which boosts mood and consistency. It’s simple to use and free of intrusive ads. Repeated concerns focus on platform integration: Apple Health/Watch/Fitness tracking can be clunky, and music support is limited to Apple Music/iTunes with spotty playlist compatibility. A few users also find Week 5 too aggressive and want clearer pacing and warm-up/down guidance. Despite these, it remains a solid, accessible training companion.

Pros

Structured, progressive training that is beginner-friendly and adaptable, with repetition where needed.
Motivational voice coaching and clear verbal cues, plus the ability to use your own music during runs.
Mood/energy boost and potential weight loss from consistent workouts.
Simple, easy-to-use design with no intrusive ads and a free core experience.
Reliable training companion for beginners and returning runners.

Cons

Apple ecosystem integration with Watch/Health/Fitness is clunky or incomplete, and workouts may not count without using Apple Fitness.
Music integration is limited to Apple Music/iTunes; other services (Spotify/Amazon) are not supported and playlists may not be recognized.
Week 5 progression can be too abrupt or aggressive for some users, making it hard to complete.
Users seek more pacing guidance and beginner tips, including clearer warm-up/down guidance and overall guidance on progression.

I have never been a runner, but this helped me feel confident in learning how to run without overdoing it and hurting myself. For anyone who’s trying to take steps toward getting in shape this is a good choice
