User Reviews

Users praise the app for effectively helping beginners start running and maintaining motivation with encouraging voice prompts and structured programs. However, multiple reviews mention issues with vocal prompts being delayed, missing, or unsynchronized, leading to missed interval cues. Stability problems such as crashes and app shutdowns mid-run have caused frustration and lost data. Problems can sometimes be linked to phone battery optimization settings. Despite these technical drawbacks, many users find the app life-changing and continue to recommend it for its motivational benefits.

Pros

Effective for beginners: helps users progress from little or no running experience to running 5k and beyond.
Motivating and encouraging voice prompts provide support and guidance during runs.
Simple and well-structured program that users find forgiving and manageable.
Long-term positive impact: some users have incorporated running into their lifestyle thanks to the app.
High user satisfaction with the core running plans and coaching approach.

Cons

Inconsistent or missing vocal prompts during runs, causing users to miss interval changes.
App crashes or shuts down mid-run, leading to loss of run data.
Vocal prompts delayed or not synchronized, especially on certain devices (e.g., Samsung Galaxy).
Battery optimization on phones can cause the app to go to sleep, affecting prompts and app function if not disabled.
Some users find the app slightly overpriced for the features offered.

Recent reviews

I bought this app several years ago, and go back to it at least once a year. It always gets me back to where I consider myself a runner, before a busy life and my actual hatred of running take over and I stop again. Had never had an issue with the prompts until I got a Samsung Galaxy. Now they are about a minute and a half late each time. I only know they are late once I have passed certain physical markers that usually accompany the changes.
