Ratings and reviews

Generally a good training app, but let down by very poor run tracking. The workouts are good; the instructions are pretty decent, though I found it very hard to understand the military guy's instructions, and more info on a segment would be useful (e.g. how long it is). But the run tracking is shocking. I've just done a run, and my Wahoo app tracked the route perfectly as 7.5km. However this app, using the same location service on the same phone, says it's 3.2km. Has happened on several runs now

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!

The app provides a sensible programme to get from 5K to 10K, however the first few times I used it the app crashed during my workouts - very annoying! I think this may have been to do with turning the location on within the app, which is stupid, but when I didn't turn it on it didn't crash. Also would like more vocal prompts during my runs and at the correct times i.e. Don't tell me I'm half way through with 2 mins to go. Please fix these glitches ASAP!
