User Reviews

C25K is widely praised for being easy to use and for its clear, gradual plan that helps beginners and returning runners. It motivates users and yields real gains, with many sticking with it for years. The main downsides are pricing and purchase-access reliability: several reviews report trouble restoring purchases and feel the cost or subscription model is too high. Overall, it’s a helpful, results-driven program that works best when users are comfortable with its pricing model and committed to regular workouts.

Pros

Easy to use and beginner-friendly.
Clear, structured training plan with gradual progression (3 sessions per week).
Highly motivating and effective; users report confidence gains and real fitness improvements.
Long-term value and versatility; many users continue using the app for years and improve over time.

Cons

Purchase restoration issues: users report that previously bought bundles or ad-free access are not restored after re-downloading the app.
Pricing and subscription friction: multiple reviews describe the cost as high or not worth it, with complaints about paid plans, early-free periods, and ongoing charges.

I used this app years ago to help get into running shape. Now that I’m back to running, I figured I’d use an app that helped in the past only to find after 4 runs it’s a paid subscription. You aren’t doing this with the best interests of your users in mind. You’re doing this for your own gain. I don’t understand why you can’t offer a bare bones free model while giving people who want to pay more features. It’s a greedy cash grab disguised as a helpful free tool.
