User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★Fun
I started this program to run my first 5K. I didn’t realize that it would be an amazing and effective weight loss app as well. It’s easy to use. Pairs flawlessly with my IPhone. The voice cues come in over my music so I don’t miss them. I love this app. I am starting my third time through it. It’s like having a running buddy with you giving you encouragement.
★★★★★Great app; needs an update
I love this app but I would love for it to get an update. The last articles are from over 6 years ago. I would also like to see a tips and suggestions section like to improve speed or meal suggestions before and after jogging. Overall I’m pleased and thankful for this app.
★★★★★Helps you learn to run
I’ve never been good at running. In middle school, everybody could jog a mile straight no problem while I’d be getting yelled at for taking breaks. This app is AMAZING, and I was able to run my first mile after using it! If you’re on the fence about it, definitely buy it. You can listen to music with your music app while getting audio cues when to walk / jog / etc, it’s very easy to use and keeps track of your progress. I never review apps but I love this one so much haha.
★★★★★Perfect way to get back to the 5k
Love this app. I use the drill sergeant, play my music, then when the drill sergeant tells me to jog, I jog. To walk, I walk. Progressive difficulty, and if you do it daily, you’ll be running a 5k by the time it’s over. Simple and easy. No ads interrupting you.
★★★★★Great app, an update would be nice
This app does everything I need and I appreciate the lack of intrusive ads, but I can’t help but miss the social element which seems to be all but dead at this point. Maybe an update and some new content could bring it back?
