Joggo - Run Tracker & Coach

After pages and pages of attempts to upsell, I signed up for 3 months and ended up using it for only 2 weeks. The AI voice is annoying and unhelpful and the promised coaching non-existent. It only links to Apple Watches so won’t track how you’re actually doing. I found the free Nike Run Club app SOOO much better. It’s a real person, great plans, links to Strava etc, guided runs, coaching (mental and physical) and training plans for whatever you want to achieve. For free. I was looking for something to help me post NHS Couch to 5k and this definitely isn’t it

Honestly, go with a free app - Joggo is useless, the heart rate monitoring may as well be a guess. The watch app won’t sync properly with the app (try Nike running club for free to see how this could work). I can only assume positive reviews are fake or people haven’t tried basic free apps that are miles ahead of what Joggo can do. I was also scammed into buying the workout element of the app - which is apparently ‘easy to follow’, in reality it just throws random exercises at you in 30 second segments with no explanation as to what you are expected to do - by the time you’ve worked it out from the tiny video it’s time to move onto the next exercise. And trying to get a refund is ludicrous - they have a 14 day refund policy but only if there is a problem with the app (apparently being unusable doesn’t count)

*****BE WARNED****** This app will continue to take money from your account unauthorised even after cancelling subscription through App Store. Do not use!

It’s a good concept but it didn’t record the run I did accurately which was disappointing

I've found the usability to be really poor. The workouts so far are really generic, no real difference from couchto5k or couchto10k. If you go off the app after starting a workout the notifications only seem to come through for a certain time and then stop. Always end up having to update data taken from Apple workout manually. Not worth the money in my opinion! Wish I hadn't paid out for 6months in advance in hindsight. If I though I had a chance of getting a refund I would.

I paid for the subscription, but when it asked on the app for OTP from email, the company never sent the email. I hit resend, tried over multiple days, checked junk mail etc and nothing. Then contacted customer support only to be ghosted. Stay clear of this app!!

This will not show up under your Apple subscriptions as they are avoiding paying the correct fees. You have to go into the app and cancel. I only signed up for 4 months and no more

It’s frustrating that even though it says workout complete the run isn’t recorded and even when you free run you have to go through more steps than just ending run to record efforts. I’m going to switch back to other running app after the time I paid for is over.

Am liking the app as a novice runner and the 2 weekly focus is helping me to push myself while focusing on near term objectives. Am now level 6 looking forward to app support for building my capacity and capability. A couple of niggles, calories, distance are not recorded on treadmill. Syncing to apple health is dual counting all my runs also recorded on watch so I had to go through and delete all the Joggo runs which have no data and stop you from writing data to Health, Your app doesn’t give me any useful bio feedback so am using other apps for that. No help on progress on my form. So the only value add I’m getting are the 2-weekly plans . I can therefore see myself outgrowing your app and shopping around for “more” until your app has more features

This only works with location services turned on, which drains your battery. You have to remember to set it going every time you go for a run which negates its usefulness. Also, don’t forget to cancel before it auto renews - they don’t send a reminder before they charge (which is a breach of the consumer rights act) and then try to fob you off with 50% refund. Definitely don’t recommend - far better (cheaper) options out there that are actually useful.
