good app!
very clear, pick your own trainer that you want but i wish there were more motivational prompts during your run like “keep going” and “you’re doing great” but that’s only a small thing

Customer Feedback:
"The popular Couch to 5K app helps new runners avoid injury from doing too much, too soon."
—Runners World, June 2012
"It's ridiculously easy to use (it's hard not to, as you just do what you're told) and it's fantastic that you have an encouraging voice talking you through things."
—Engadget, June 2012
"Active.com’s Couch to 5K is one of my favorite… apps. With its customizable features, interactivity, and well-rounded interface, I may actually stay off the couch this time."
—148Apps, October 2011
"I knew as soon as I decided to start the Couch to 5K program that I would need something to keep me accountable—not just to showing up for my training, but to actually doing it properly. Of course there’s an app for that."
—CalorieLab, April 2012
"If you have been struggling to get your buns off the couch and somewhat in shape before the summer hits, training for a 5K is not a bad way to start. If you are looking for a program to help get you there, then the “Couch to 5K” running plan by CoolRunning is probably your best bet if you haven’t done an ounce of athletic activity for a number of years."
—Droid Life, April 2012

Note:
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
The Couch to 5K coach you select talks to you during your workouts. To save your battery, Couch to 5K sends audio notifications when your screen is locked or another app is in use.
To be sure you hear the coach during your workout, please do the following:
• Turn on Notifications permissions
• Turn on the hardware ring/silent switch (no red showing)
• Turn your ringer volume up
• Turn off Do Not Disturb (swipe up for Control Panel and the moon button should not be white)
• Within the app, in Settings > Workout Options, be sure the Trainer Volume is up
Without granting notification permissions, during a workout you can click the lock icon at the top left to keep the app active and still hear the coach.
For support please contact us at: [email protected] We would love to hear from you.
Once you purchase the app, it is yours to keep. It does not expire after 9 weeks.

Genuinely amazing
I never ran or got into sports or liked exercise - this app got me to 5k and then to 10k. Don’t rush it and it’ll happen like magic 10/10 Love you Runicorn 🦄
Slightly disappointing
This is a good app for beginners no doubt, but the badges are slightly disappointing. The little badges are nice incentives but I don’t like how most of them are about how many calories you’ve burned in relation to food. I understand that people run to lose weight but IMO this just further demonises foods and enforces toxic diet culture. Its’s a small thing and it could be just me, however I’d much rather know how far I’ve ran in relation to countries, for example, instead of how many donuts I’ve burned off!
Apple health integration?
Why is there no Apple health integration? To save workouts? To pull your weight so you don’t have to set it in the app? Not good for a paying app
Great
Does exactly what it says on the tin. Great motivation to get you started running. However would really love to see an Apple Watch stand alone app.
Can’t enter address
I haven’t started using the app yet, I just downloaded it. I’m in Ireland and can’t enter my phone number or address because it keeps telling me I’ve entered the wrong details. The format is different in Ireland than the US. It also says that state/province is mandatory and doesn’t recognize ours......
Good old reliable
I’ve used this app multiple times over the years and it still does the trick. When life gets hectic and I’ve stopped running, I know I’ll get back to it with the help of c25k
My - start all over again - friend🙂
This is the best App ever invented, I’ve been using it for years, every time I need to get back on track I revert back to Couch to 5k. It doesn’t go back to start and let u start from week 1 and continue each day like it does at the beginning but it’s still brilliant.
Amazing app!
Great way to build up your stamina!
Great handy app
Really enjoying this so far, makes the goal seem achievable
