C25K (Couch to 5K)

I used this app for a long time and really liked it but the newest version is broken on my 5s It wont properly show graphs and can freeze up when changing playlists while working out Bugs happen sure but it has been months since they last updated while I see other running apps get timely updates when there are problems Until this gets updated I cant rate it well        current version is jacked

I downloaded this app a few years ago I started it a couple of times but never finished I tried it again this past summer and finally had success By the end of the program I was only up to 25 miles in 30 minutes so I would gradually go more each day until I made it to 31 This program has definitely turned me into a run addict I even ran 62 miles the other day I highly recommend this app My advice is to take it slow and dont let one bad day or even week discourage you If you dont feel like you are ready to move on to the next week then dont Give that week another try then reevaluate again Just dont sell yourself short Believe me when I say you are far more capable than you think you are This is coming from a girl who used to DESPISE running So much so that I would be sick in high school on the days I knew we had to run 2 miles at practice Now I run 2 miles on my short run days I also HIGHLY recommend that you invest in running shoes My New Balances werent quite cutting it so I went to a local running store and they suggested a pair of Brooks shoes Wow what a difference I also recommend a good sports bra for those of us that are blessed up top Give this program a try You wont regret it                 Great app

Ive had multiple episodes lately where this app just shuts down and stops working mid run Today I was 19 min into my 38 min workout and it stopped I can still hear my music so I think its still working I didnt realize it until at least 5 min later when I knew it should be telling me to walk It makes me furious because I am now unsure how far I actually ran        Not happy

I was never a runner but this program really helped at 1st it was tough but now its awesome and I have all my friends doing it as well                 Not a runner

Works great and the developer is helpful with problems                 Great app

I ran my first 10k today thanks to this app This app has made a runner out of me For all those who think you cant you can                 Best app ever

I miss the old name Couch to 5K Thats what attracted me to it in the first place I was a couch potato and had never been a distance runner But I wanted to get exercising and wanted to try jogging This app did it for me I absolutely love the interval approach It made jogging accessible for me Now that I can do a 5K I like the distance feature The mapping with the in app GPS purchase was a great addition I could go on But simply stated I love this app                 Love This App

I want to be an amateur runner and have been using this app off on for over a year The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I usually walkrun 4560 minutes and I cannot change the 30minute timer on this Maybe that will be an added feature in an update 0              LOVE it 0

Absolutely love the app Can play your own music adjust voice cue volume Easy enough to follow but challenging enough to get you running              Great app

The first time I downloaded this app it was totally free I deleted it and downloaded it again and now they want me to pay a subscription Not cool       

The buildup gradually running longer and longer was so helpful I never thought Id be able to run Great app                 Love love love

This app used to work well 2yrs ago Now GPS tracks map but does not give feedback on distance or pace Tech support only recommends resetting phone which I did but problem persists Going w Nike app Shame really I liked this one        DrQuilter

Having issues with the audio alerts They dont play when wearing headphones They do play without headphones Ive tried changing settings around to no avail Im at a loss to what is wrong Is it user error or a problem with the app I was able to use this app with my iPhone 4 with no issues but now with the iPhone 6 its not working with no issues but              Problems

When it works it works fine but its sometimes unreliable There seem to be some programming issues For example sometimes it starts the music when I start the warmup and sometimes it doesnt Ive had it crash midrun this is really annoying when youre waiting for it to tell you to stop running or start running And for the love of Pete dont lock the device while this is running It wont tell you anything Its basically a good app it just needs some updated programming           Sometimes unreliable

It only gives you alerts to run or walk when the app is open and the screen is unlocked That defeats the purpose     No alerts when locked

Great program to get in shape or back in shape Highly recommend                 Simple fun and easy to use

there are several issues with this app First it turns off the music after providing an interval alert That means after each change you have to manually turn the music back on Second the app does not provide an alert unless the is showing on the screen meaning you can lock the phone Finally I am having the same issus ctphillips4 in that the volume is super loud at the start very disappointed        music turns off after alert

This app is okay but the GPS tracking is sub par I look at my map runs and theyre very squiggly like I was having a seizer the whole time to where it looks like I ping pong across the street during my runs It makes me wonder how much more distance that adds to my run that I didnt actually do I like seeing my progress accurately but I do not feel this app can achieve that yet           GPS map not the best 2 12 stars

Well designed app to get you into shape                 It Works

I really like this app Tried the other one but didnt like it as much My only complaints are 1 You cant share your progress via email Whats up with that The other one you can tho so this one definitely needs an update to include this feature 2 When I went to App Store to find it for my friend it didnt come up had to find it through a google search              Great app

Update 5 stars again They fix the crash and now I can run again to infinity and beyond Dont install in 3GS Just opens the quits right away Have informed the developer Will revisit rating if they issue a fix My goto running app now rendered useless in latest update                 Bug fixed

I liked this app so much that I upgraded to the paid version When I did this it erased my logs from my first 4 runs Fail        Lost journal

I just completed week 8 and easily making 31 miles I would love to see a heart rate monitor feature added to this app                 I can run again

Works well great app for the beginner runner                 Recommended

At first this app worked great a few years ago It has stopped working properly It doesnt record any of my runs when Im finished it freezes at random times and stops playing the music Whats the deal     Not so good

Ive used the ease into 5k numerous times over the last couple of years and it gets better and better Currently training for a 5k at the end of April and a 10 mile race in October The app is really great and Im seeing results Thanks Bluefin                 Great running app for beginners

I have used this app for 23 years but now it wont post journal to Facebook Please fix Other than that I love it Ok Finally its fixed Thank you                 FINALLY

Worked well prior to latest update Now the map distance and therefore times are all screwed up           New update

The app worked great when I first downloaded it now it doesnt track my speed or distance correctly even after resetting location and everything else I ran for a little over 2 miles and it only tracked 03 What A seventyfour minute mile Almost impossible Glad I reupped my subscription for nothing I will be purchasing a similar app with better reviews Learned my lesson on checking stats before wasting my money     Its garbage

App crashes every time I try to bring up the graph feature in the journal Please fix it        Issues with journal

Very easy to use clear audio while listening to your own playlist I am just getting into running and I love this app Keeps me motivated                 Easy to use great app

No voice alerts makes this useless     Dont bother

Thanks guys and gals Way to make something aweso                 Enjoyable way to get in shape

I just completed this 5k training plan I started off barely able to run for 90 seconds and now I am going for 30 This app has the basics everything you need to make it to your goal                 It worked for me

The voice alerts dont work in the new OS I restarted and still nothing This basically makes it a music player with fewer features Its a discouraging way to restart my 5k training Fortunately there are other apps out there that serve the same purpose     Voice alerts dont work

I absolutely love this app Ive used it three times now to get into shape for a 5k from start to finish For someone who could never run further than a minute without dropping dead before trying this app I really appreciate the accountability aspect and feel it lives up to its name Ease Into 5k Being able to log my miles and see my progress as I not only am able to run further and longer now but also am getting faster I love this app and recommend it at an annoying rate to all my friends                 Love of my life

When you use your playlist it will only play three songs off the playlist and keep repeating those 3 songs There is some sort of glitch with the program Hopefully it is fixed soon              Great app buts as a music glitch

App used to be great but now cannot change music while workout is goingstops makes you restart then doesnt pick up tracking mileage even freezes up Not easy to use while running at all Hoping for a fix soon Using iPhone 6 w ios802        Music use

I have always wanted to run and this app helped me It is challenging but not so difficult that I couldnt accomplish the days goal I lost 15 pounds watching what I ate and using this program Consistently worked with no disappointments I highly recommend                 Changed My Life

I used to really like this app and totally credit it for getting me back to the point of running 5ks I eventually moved on to another app by a famous running coach because I wanted a systematic way to improve but yesterday came back to use this app because I just wanted to run a simple 5k training run and I used to like how clean and easy the app was But now theres a permanent button advertising their stretch app I already have a better stretch app I dont need to constantly see that button And after my workout I uploaded it to Facebook but made some mistakes in my notes so I deleted the post and went back to share it again This stupid app wouldnt let me It kept telling me I had already shared that workout Well no shirt Sherlock I know I already shared it but maybe let ME decide if I want to share it again So now Ive lost one record of that day and cant get it back because this dumb app thinks its smarter than I am and knows what I want Im just going to delete it because now its completely superfluous since I have a better app anyway        Ruined this app with changes

I have used this app on and off for 3 or so years Ive never had an issue with it but I also use it for the very basics I dont post to Facebook nor do I use the GPS feature as my iPod does not have that capability I would definitely recommend this to someone starting out              Great app

I never would be able to stick to running for the past 4 months without this app Its a blessing I quit smoking and ran a 5 K in that time Now Im starting over at the beginning but making my pace faster so I will beat my 5K time LOVE IT                 LOVE

This is a great app and truly lives up to its name I was not even walking regularly and was able to complete my first 5k run at the end of the seventh week And Im 50 I have already recommended this app to all my friends                 True to its name

This app doesnt record current pace so when I try to post to Facebook its all ZEROS Very disappointing           OK APP

Update still useless Doesnt even ask for notifications permission Wont notify once app is closed This app will not work with other audio programs If you like to listen to podcast apps like me dont buy this The app crashes every time you reopen it while a pod cast app is running When it crashes it does not resume thus it jacks up your run flow     Warning

I had a full version if this app on my iPhone 4 Now this free iphone6 version requires upgrading to a subscription Liked the app but not happy about this switch Also have never been able to figure out how it calculates feet and distance It doesnt at all relate to whats on treadmill screen           Change of policy

I like how this app has the audio prompts to know when to run or walk I also enjoy being able to control music from the app as well This app does not give you the opportunity to journal beyond 3 workouts a week that are included in this program So if you want to record any walking you do on off days or any cross training you do there is not a place to record that in this app Which is dissappointing if you are wanting to do more than simply work your way to a 5K I have been biking and crosstraining on my nonrun days and Im unable to record that here           Good for a beginner but if you have loftier goals this app is not for you

I am by far no runner but I knew I had to change my work out to challenge myself The app is awesome I could not be any more satisfied with it Thanks Bluefin                 Not a runner

I cannot say enough great things about this app I have always hated running but now am actually enjoying it and plan to move right into the Bridge to 10k program The gps is a little glitchy but other than that awesome THANK YOU                 Great app for wannabe runner

I love the app but Im hoping the developers will adjust the app so that the starting music volume is not at the MAX level when you begin your workout Kills my ears EVERY time Other than that the app is great              Starting Volume
