## Review summary

Users praise the app for its simple, motivating marathon-training path and badges that boost progress, with several reporting real fitness gains. However, multiple reviews flag billing/subscription problems (unexpected charges and refunds) and reliability issues during runs (app exiting, timers sticking, or failing to stay in the foreground). Some also note missing Apple Watch support. Overall, strong motivational value and clarity of progression are tempered by financial and stability concerns.

- Highly motivating and effective at keeping users on track with real performance gains (weight loss, faster miles)
- Reward badges and clear progress that contribute to a sense of achievement
- Proven progression across multiple programs (5K → 10K → 21K → 42K) and overall simplicity that helps users complete the plan

### Cons

- Billing and subscription concerns: unexpected yearly charges, difficulty canceling, and refund issues mentioned by multiple users
