Simple, and I did use it through to the end, but found that notifications are way off often, or get skipped completely. Disappointing to get to the end and all you get is a "see you next time" message.
3 years since I installed this app, still running 3 times a week the way they taught me and I'm finally back to review. This isn't really a review to be honest - the app is superb, but this post is really to say a massive thank you to the developers - your app changed my life - and to offer some encouragement to anyone who is thinking about starting running today and is looking at this app - go for it, start small, stay consistent, give it the 9 weeks, you won't believe what you're capable of X
Brilliant! First used this years ago and it got me from never having run in my life to running 5k. I love the voice prompts and encouragements and the programme was just the right amount of challenge for me. Definitely worth the money!
Brilliant! Don't skip weeks because you think it's easy to begin with, I did this and ended up with aches and small injuries. Be patient and stick with it. Currently running 5k 3 times a week, I could barely run for 2mins when I started out.
Dies in between the intervals and the cool down which causes my run to be lost. Freaking app frustrates me to no end!!
I'm having to abandon this app as it keeps shutting down while I'm out, meaning I miss interval prompts and my runs aren't stored.
Doesn't give the vocal prompt to run - constantly having to take it out my pocket to refresh the supposed always on screen. C'mon - get it sorted!
This app is both motivating and forgiving. I am recovering from an injury. It is slow going but this app really helps me stay progressing at a gold speed.
Brilliant app, my second time using it! Have recommended it to several friends who also think its brilliant. Just wish they did a 5K - 10K app too!!
Used to be great but tried again recently and it missed a load of voice prompts meaning my run was totally messed up
Got me to running 30 minutes without walking, then I continued extending the 30 minutes by 10 percent a week until I could do 2 hours.
I love the relaxedness of the instructions in this app. Keep on keeping on ;-)
By far the best one available
Glitchy and buggy
I absolutely love this app. Perfect amount of challenge to keep you excited to run and not quit. One of my favorite features that this app has that others don't is the prompts that let you know you have 30,15 or 10 seconds left. I find that super helpful and encouraging. Please, please, please, make a 10k and on app!!! I so want to continue running with Splendid Things after finishing this!
She says more than two words (stop, run). Nice prompts. Not a lot of talking just enough for you know when you'll stop, start, how much more, half way point. Slowly progresses you towards a goal yet you can stay where you are, go back, or move forward. No bells and whistles here. Simple. Easy.
Not too good when it stops constantly and kicks you out of the programme mid run. Free app did better. Disappointed I paid for this. Happened 4 times on me now
Works beautifully on my Moto 3. Very encouraging prompts. Just two weeks in but so far my favourite C25K app.
Love this app - glad it has minimal permissions. Very supportive. Voice okay - wish I could select from variety of voices.
Perfect. I used this app for many years now, when I need a kick to get back into running shape. Always reliable!
This app worked for me years ago so I've come back to it for my running again. Simple, solid and sultry with timely encouragement and a smart programme to develop you.
Very nice app, without problems. I truly recommend this app to everyone who start running.
Was recommended this app by a friend and it's been really good. I'm sure there are more advanced ones out there that combine music and GPS, but I've used my phone and fit bit for that. Easy to follow and the voice prompts are well-timed, encouraging and comforting! Hoping there's a 10k version to move onto next?!
love love LOVE this app!! Exactly what I needed. Thank you!! I do wish that it tracked your total distance and running speed so i didn't have to run 2 apps at the same time, but it is awesome!!
Simple and easy to use. Pleasant, encouraging cues. Allows you to play your own music.
Love this app! Can play Spotify while using it.
This was a great app but sadly since going back to it there it's clear there is a serious flaw with vocal prompts not coming through when they should. This can mean you don't know when to start or stop running. Hopefully this is fixed but for now I will have to use an alternative app. UPDATE: bumping this to a 5 as I've resolved the issue via the battery optimisation settings. This is still the best couch to 5K app as far as I'm concerned and has successfully got me back into running again.
