Great for training but crashes a lot. If this app didn't stop in the background so often (right in the middle of runs), it would be the perfect training tool. I start the app, go training but if the app stops halfway through a 5 minute run, I have no idea when to stop... Then I have to start all over. If they can fix this, it will be the ideal running trainer. Update: works great now and it hasn't crashed a single time in the last 6+ months that I've been using it. Updating the review to 5*.

Great and gradual progression as time goes by! Really a must for my arthritis. Update: 11-21-24 The app is still working well. I use it to train after periods of bad weather and not being able to run outside as much. I love that I can listen to my own music in the background. The prompt "hey there! Awesome runner, have a great run today", is pretty cheesy in my opinion. Lol. That being said, I have no complaints.

I like the basic idea of the app and fully intended to purchase it if it worked but it repeatedly closes out in the middle of the run. I will start thinking the interval is lasting a really long time and look at my phone and it has force quit and closed even when in "locked" mode. I have to start all over again or try to guess where I was and its really affecting my progress.
