Great running app!

I have only been using this app a few days but it really works great. I really like the clean and simple interface that lets me see all the workouts on the screen at once. I would have rated it 5 stars if it showed the distance from the GPS on the workout screen on the iPhone (like it does on the iPad).

Ok but could be better!

App makes a great stop watch. It could be greatly improved if it didnt interrupt music during each interval and if the distance calculator works.

So far I love it!

I used a similar running program before and in between having kids and I was looking for an app to make it easier. I tried Couch to 5k but it wasnt gradual enough for someone out of shape, in my opinion. This program has me slowly adding to my running time but with more running intervals. Since this was how I successfully trained for 5km before, I know this program will help me reach my goals. I just start my music playlist then start the program, easy!

Needs some additions - and lost all my data.

I would like to see the ability to lock the phone and have the app work still - as well as have it work when you play music. Right now, once you exit the app, the lock the phone, the timers still run but there are no voice prompts,etc. Also - i just turned the phone on and off and lost all saved data from previous run. Very disappointing. This app has a lot of bugs and should have been free til they were worked out.

There are better options out there

The training program looks fine but I gave up on this app. The prompts were barely audible over my music. It is ridiculous that the prompts dont work if your device is locked. Keeping my device unlocked meant that my battery was drained before my run ended so I was stuck miles from home with no idea what time it was. Fine time things and it might help people to get running.

Disappointing performance

I found this app useful in theory, however it was very disappointing to actually use. I could not hear the audio cues to change pace and I found it was not very responsive to play or pause during a run.

NO GOOD

I was very upset with this app. No music when running app is in use. Have already deleted. Dont waste ur money on it
