Trying to use Galaxy Watch6 version of this. It is a struggle, it does not link with the Samsung Health app or the phone version of C25K app, but refuses to run at the same time as a workout on Samsung Health. It sometimes stops randomly. It stops Spotify from playing, and doesn't give an audio notification until 10-20 seconds after it is supposed to. You can't see what the time differences will be for the workout you will be doing. GPS and calorie tracking doesn't work sometimes. Rubbish.

This is a fantastic free app - we started it last year but finished at the end of week 4 so we were determined to do it properly this time; and the interface is 100 times better!! Bar one day on W1, D2 where it had a total flip out, the app has always worked perfectly and I love the integrated music so I can listen to my playlist while running. While I won't be running marathons any time soon, I think the slow and steady approach has worked as I'm now running for nearly half an hour and even though I'm not that fast I haven't stopped once, nor is it as painful as it was a few weeks ago ;-) Thank you!!!

I like the simplicity of this app. The free version doesn't track distance so it should more accurately be called couch to 30 minutes! However, this is what I wanted - the focus is on duration not distance. Now to find another app that will help with pace training... Update 23/August 2019 - downgraded the review from 4 to 2 as one of the updates means this crashes on every run with no warning... Which makes its timer function completely useless.
