Review summary

Summary: Widely praised as beginner-friendly with an effective progressive training program and responsive support. The main recurring issues are unreliable audio cues during runs and the lack of in-app progress logging (days, time, distance), with users asking for built-in tracking and more consistent performance, though it remains helpful for starting and advancing running.

Pros

Beginner-friendly and easy to start running.
Progressive training program that helps you gradually increase distance (e.g., from never running to a half marathon in 6 months).
Positive developer responsiveness and willingness to address issues.
Generally helpful and simple to use for beginners.

Cons

Audio cues (bell/voice) frequently fail during runs, sometimes with music not restarting, reducing guidance.
Lacks built-in progress tracking/logging (days, times, distance); users want in-app tracking to monitor workouts.

2021-06-26	Ja*****	I just started my second time through the program, it is a great way to get started running and slowly increase distance. I went from never running to half a marathon in 6 months(was somewhat active when I started) I would like to see a way to track the days that you did the training and be able to check them off if using another method of tracking the run. I just like the training program more than I use the app at this point.
