Great app but…

mmk5642 on

I love the interface. Everything I need and nothing I don’t. Only two things kept me from rating 5 stars. I’d like to switch to miles permanently and I’d like to change the voice. Other than that, top notch!

Great watch based running app, needs workout improvements

GLevy25 on

As I go back to running on the treadmill at the gym again, I decided to go back to using this app. Overall I really like it, easy to select the run I want, it makes separate workouts for the warmup and cool down as well. Complaints: I have it setup to do inside runs, but when I review the workout there is always this ridiculous squiggle drawing of me running like a madman in all directions at the gym as if it were an outside run even though it is classified as an indoor run. I hope this can be fixed. Also in the workout data there is no breakdown by heart zone. I hope these are things that Apple gives third party developers access to fix.

Perfect 5k Training Companion 🏃

I’ve tried a few different apps and this one is the best! One-time payment and everything just works. The prompts are clear and the tracking is great. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to start, or re-start running. It’s one of the few apps that don’t try and get a subscription and is truly work the price, without a doubt. Very great app.

Makes C25K easy!

You just have to move your legs and the app does the rest. No fluff, solid app all around.

It does what it says on the tin

The app is just what you need and nothing extra. It works and it isn’t a goofy subscription. It has helped get me back into running and I appreciate that.

A really well-designed app

Lord of the Ochre Keep on

So far I’m not impressed with a lot of apps for the Apple Watch. I bought the Watch with cellular connectivity specifically so I could go exercise without my phone. Other exercise apps seem to really want you to either bring your phone with you when you run, or require all sorts of options and configuration. All I wanted was an app that told me when to run, told me when to walk, integrated with Apple Fitness, and worked reliably. This app is it! It works great! I love that it logs the warmups, cool-downs, and runs as distinct workouts, so Apple Fitness knows to report something as a walk and not a run, etc. The display is intuitive and informative. The interface is dead simple. tl;dr: it just works, and it works well

Getting me to my fitness goals

Freedomgcam on

This app is exactly what I wanted to get back into shape. My only complain is the running jump time between the 3rd and 4th week. Yo go from 9 to 16 minutes. I did it, but it was a big jump. Still, I really like the app.

Helped me establish a healthy routine

I’ve done the couch25k program a few times. This app is helping me do it again using my Apple Watch independently of my iPhone on my runs. No complaints. Thank you!

Made the impossible possible

KGKGKGKGKGW on

I am shocked and insanely grateful for how easy this made running for me - something I didn't think was possible. I started it having actually never ran for more than 3-4 min in my entire life (I'm 30) and then to making it through the program.

Simple clean app

Anuraghu on

I used this app to train to run 5km. I liked that I could go for a run without a phone. Nothing fancy here but the app does the job if you stick with it.
