This app was great. 2 years ago. Now it doesn't work without GPS (no, I don't want it to track my location, it's an app built around timing, it doesn't need that), and more importantly, the settings that are supposed to allow you to turn off its background data collection/cookies can't be turned off. Sure, the option is there, but if you opt out, exit the screen, and then come back, mysteriously all permissions have been granted again. So no. I'm not keeping this app. It's now a leach.

Thanks for your feedback. GPS is required for calories/distance, GPS map route, and more accurate voice alerts to prevent OS from killing a background app. We’d like to know details of the issue you mentioned. Please send the details or screenshot to contactus@zenlabsfitness.com. We'll pass it along to our development team for any way to improve.

This is a good interval jogging app for my Samsung Galaxy 6 Classic watch. However I do have some suggestions. For some reason the time displayed while using the app shows military time with no option to change to 12 hour time. Also, I'd like more voice notification options. Like time left at 30 second intervals, or a countdown when close to ending a run.

I've used this app several times, and this time, when the app started crashing on me and wouldn't let me open it, I reached out to customer support. I was told to do a series of things to fix it, one of which was to uninstall the app and then reinstall it, which I just did. Now, it has booted me back to week one with a subscription pay wall after the first week. I was at least 8 weeks into the program and am now unable to finish. Very lame and poor customer service! I will be deleting this ap!
