Ratings and reviews

I downloaded and was very interested in paying to have all the features, when I checked out the programs in the app (other than the run program) it said the app needs to be updated as it's an old version and won't work on my phone. so I reached out to see of they had plans to do that. The email back I was told " wr only give customers support to those who are on the paid version" obviously I would not oay if I cannot use the features. Anyway, that right there is enough to go elsewhere for me.

Quality has fallen through the floor. I have used this app for years, even run through the program twice, to sprint during the fast intervals and jog during the slow... In the last year or so, quality has declined greatly. The 'coach' seems to forget about you. When I know for a fact the next run is in ome minute, she (shout out Gina Grad, your voice is on a poorly maintained app) she won't actually prompt again for up to five minutes. This app is a timer that can't tell time. Useless.

Edit: 9 months later and no fixes for location tracking at all. I would recommend another app if that matters to you. Very happy with the runs and pacing. However, the app does not accurately track your location and route on many, if not most, runs, leaving you without solid info on your runs. I've made sure data and high accuracy location tracking are on but still not accurate.
