Ratings and reviews

Basically a post-it note to remind me to run, plus somewhere to record when and how far I ran, but that's about it. Ok for that. But don't rely this app to actually track your distance & route; it's conked out after less than a mile every time, with the timer still running. No previews of what's in each workout, ya gotta blindly commit yourself to a set time of whatever the "trainer" throws at you, I guess. And it'd be nice NOT to have to pick the trainer every. single. time...there are only 3!

I wish there would be more coaching along the way rather than just telling me halfway and went to speed up / slow down. The GPS tracker didn't work very well but that might be because of my battery saver mode was turned on. We'll have to take the battery saver mode off and try again. Thankfully it was recording on my SmartWatch so that was able to get my distance!

For over a year this app has been great, but since running the last update it crashes & says there's a bug in the app Hope its fixed soon.
