Good app

I love running with this app. Trains real well.

Dont work anymore

This app was great when I first got it but they did a update and now when you phone goes into sleep mode it stops the timer so I have to keep touching the screen. It also wont go to the next day after I have completed a workout.

Got me moving!

Its not perfect, but it was free. My only request is that you be able to start it and then go out to iTunes or another audio app for music and the timer keeps running. When you do, the timer stops running. I have started listening on another device, but then you lose the little voice telling you when to switch. I have been using it for over a week and really feel like my heart is beating and Im building up gradually from almost nothing a week ago. Ive recommended it.

Used to Like it

It worked fine until a recent update now the music player wont keep playing. Every time I go to add music it starts the timer. Not liking it much now because it is so frustrating. Hopefully they fix the issues soon.

Pointless

Paid $5 for this app and the recent update wont download. What a joke.

Boo

Booooo this app stinks. Save yourself the time money and space. It only beeps and it starts when you play music every time I turn phone back on to see where Im at the music goes off. It does the same beep for cool down I was running the whole cool down time had to look at my iPod to see where I was. What happen to the original couch to 5k. :(

Annoying

Hate that you have to keep refreshing the screen for time to continue to elapse. I use music from a second source, so perhaps thats the problem, but hate having to keep tapping the screen.

Total crap

Why is this app covered in ads when I paid to use it? It makes it impossible to switch workouts!!

Ugh

Its a good concept, but the music is always stopping and it wont connect to my twitter and post. Im going to try and find a better app.

Crappy

Screen does not turn, ads cover the impt icons, need note field on workout review, should be able to fast forward time. It cancelled my run when I tried to shut off the repeating song and then I had to start over!!!! I want my 2 dollars back as a free app probably works better,,

Such a let down!

Great concept if they can just tweak a few issues to relieve us from the frustration of using the app. First, fix the issue of the program shutting down when the phone goes into sleep mode! Second, fix the music so that it doesnt start at the beginning when you have to restart the program after it shuts down because the phone went into sleep mode!! Spent more time messing with the app then actually running!

I like it

It keeps me motivated. Had to switch my iPhone settings so it doesnt go to sleep. The only wish I have is that they would integrate the music settings better. Very easy to hit the wrong button when messing with song selection.

Good

Good program but they need to fix the sleep and music issues and make the beep louder or have it override the music

Great concept

Love it....really has helped me get in shape...not sure if you can cancel a session once you have started it, and I would like to listen to pandora at the same time

Using it!

I love the concept, but hate when I touch the phone screen by mistake or when I clipping it to my waist and it goes to pause or just close the app. Should be a way to lock it. I had to start all over in many occasions. I resolve the issue of my phone goes to sleep setting my phone to never and so far so good. For sure this app got me out of the couch and ready to 5k in few months.

Love it

This really helps me on my treadmill makes the time go faster.even tho I am only on the first week it seems I am improving on my run jog routine.thanks for this app.

It is OK

Not great. Music interface is bad. Shuts down when phone goes to sleep. Beep not loud enough to me heard over music. No help function. Wish it posted to Facebook instead of twitter.

Frustrating !

I dislike the music interface, doesnt work. The beeps are not distinguishable between walk and jog. The app does not have a way to keep it on. It isnt very loud in voice mode. I have my pod on music and then my phone on the app as loud as it gets and it seems to work for my workouts. Great concept , if worked well.

Decent app

I used this app before while running in my neighborhood. The music shut off a lot and it didnt work as I had hoped. This time around I am using it on my treadmill without music and it is great!

Basic but motivating!

Would be nice to see goal tracking and progress. Hope I can run a 5K some day.
