I used this app in the past and loved it. Now, it's a subscription past the first few runs. What's frustrating is that I already purchased the c2 10 k program on the app a few years back. All those workouts are wiped clean, and to access them, I would have to pay again. I will find another app as opposed to double-paying. These subscriptions are getting ridiculous.

Bait and switch app, avoid! Unless you want to pay past the first few workouts, give this app a pass. This should be disclosed up front and part of the app description in a very obvious manner. I just happened to swipe on the workout ribbon and noticed the GoPro button. It's very dishonest and disappointing.

This app was great and they didn't charge, now I guess greed got the better of them. Just Run is free and just as good. There should be an option to upgrade to a paid subscription with all the best new features, but they don't offer it, so this is a PASS and UNINSTALL for me. Quite disappointed.
