Ratings and reviews

Using this app has made me actually enjoy running for the first time in my life! When I first looked at the pacing intervals I thought it would be too easy, but it's actually perfect. I feel challenged but not like I'm going to throw up of pass out (unlike previous times I've tried getting into running shape). Would highly recommend.

This app is just what I'm looking for when I wanted to start a running routine and found out about C25K. Each run shows the walking/running schedule you go thru and there is a voice that speaks out how long you walk or run. only problem I see is that the screen seems to freeze (the screen darkens) after I finish a run, making me force close and open the app again (it still retains info from the run tho). And I thought the ads were not really intrusive while browsing thru the app.

This app is awesome! I wanted a free couch to 5K timer app just so I can run and not worry about my time or to look at my phone. For a free app this has it all! 5 and 10k running plans, indoor running mode, only one ad per exercise, GPS outdoor mode, built in music player, use of a music app you have on your phone, screen lock, keep your screen from going to sleep, and SO MANY MORE! Very easy to use, even my kids use it!!!
