Update: problem is fixed! Tried everything to get my subscription to sync to any of the other apps, and it didn't work. Restored purchases, logged in and out, uninstalled and reinstalled, and even sent an unanswered help request two days ago. When it works, it's great, but I can't rely on it.

Yet another disappointed application owner. I purchased C25K a few years ago, and I found out today they changed the application to a subscription model. They claim they have added new features, but didn't want new features. I just wanted the same product I had purchased that times my running and walking intervals in an easy to follow program.

This would be 5 stars if there was a way to disable the "One minute left." warning. All of the voice prompts, except for this one, are to change what you are doing (start running, start walking, turn around and head back), so you are conditioned to change from walking to running or vice versa when you get a prompt. The one minute warning adds no value and only serves to throw off your pace at the end of the run. Everything else about the app is stellar.
