Ratings and reviews

I have been using this app for several weeks and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed in its functionality. It's nice that it ties into things like my Fitbit. It has never given me my check mark for a "easy run." I don't know how far back it is pulling data but it has shown me as "off target" towards my goal for weeks which obviously gets discouraging. The one cool thing is that you do have a real assigned coach who you can message and they get back to you pretty quickly.

Bottom line: I wouldn't pay for this app again. This app promises to be more personalized and smarter, but really isn't. Whether or not you hit your weekly goal is only based on whether you were +/- 10% of your mileage goal. If you start missing targets, there's no feature that adapts your next workouts. It's kludgy to get it to interact with your Garmin. The "coaches" seem like they might be AI with stock responses. I guess it's nice to have the workouts and videos with how to do them.

Just an okay app. I like the calendar and the suggestions it provides me for training workouts. Plus, the YouTube video links are kind of neat if you're into that. However, I just want the calendar to actually give me the "check mark" for completing an assigned activity. Perhaps connecting/syncing with my Garmin watch for tracking is what throws off my calendar/log, but even when I edit the activity, like logging my long run as a long run, I don't get the check off....
