Running for Weight Loss

Good app awful customer service and reneagued on lifetime subscription. I changed from apple to android and they refuse to allow me my lifetime sub to be moved. Very slow response and feels like they're being purposefully obtuse and not dealing with my complaint. I've used the app a lot and love it but now will look for another.

Responding to developer response from my previous review: the settings that you suggest have already been on, and still the GPS on this app is deplorable. I've written to customer support previously and your suggestions don't fix anything. This is an issue with your app running on Android, not an Android settings issue.

This is a great app if you're really trying to lose weight and get healthier and in shape. I've been using this app for a few years now and it really has helped me a lot. This app has awesome workouts that really gets your heart pumping! I'm loving it so much. Thank you! ❤️

it has been very good to keep me motivated and helping me in resers stamina. At the beginning I could barely run for 3 minutes straight and now I can go for 10 minutes. I just wish that it retains your progress if the app gets accidentally deleted or I had to get a new phone. As premium subscriber, too it seems a simple thing to have. All my games can do it. My other issue is the music search. it would be nice if title search was allowed. The current state is very inefficient

Unlike many other people's experience based on their reviews, I easily downloaded this and knew I wanted the subscription based on my friend's success with this app. They offered an annual subscription of $19.99 (which will auto-renew but I see no impediments going into my subscription to change that). I've not been bothered by an influx of ads with the premium version. The music is great (though I havent noticed the playlist adjusting tempo for pacing as it says it will). I need to upgrade my phone soon and have been apprehensive as many people say while the app and their subscription continues, they lose their progress. I decided to just finish my current program and upgrading as a reward! In terms of the actual workout, I have been enjoying them - getting back into running after recovering from a bad ankle sprain.

it won't let you start using the trial until you subscribe for the monthly or yearly subscription plan. yes the app developer says it's easy to manage once you sign up, but why even do it that way? it never used to be like this. also the pricing plans are sneaky. the two options are for monthly payments of $10 OR yearly for $20, but they market the second option as 1.97 a month or something dumb like that. also the voice prompts don't work anymore.

I like this app a lot for running, but when i got my new phone it wouldnt let me sign into my old account. Then, it would not give me the option for the free version. It made me sign up for the trial version of premium before i could use it. It was really annoying to go back into my settings to make sure i deleted the trial. :/ the running app portion is great. The user interface with the sign up is annoying.

This app is great to have. I'm on week 3 and the training plan has been much better than I expected for me! After 2 weeks, my interval times are better than my run times before the app. Totally unexpected! I do wish the GPS was a bit better. Not sure if it is my LG V30 or the app not taking enough measurements, but the distance on non-straight trail runs is way off. I also would love it if the coaches did more than repetitive phrases. It would be great to have real feedback.

Full of bugs. I have to fight against the app just to get it to mostly work. Uninstalled after one use. They also try to trick you when you download like you have to sign up for something without an obvious decline. Accidentally bypassed that similar to how I've had to accidentally get the app to start and stay operating. Maybe it's poor compatibility with my phone. Also a minor gripe: if you're going to have full screen pop ups in the app, whether it be to point out functions or what have you, have a dismiss button or have pressing on an unused area dismiss the pop up. And definitely definitely don't still make ads and all the functions pressable THROUGH the pop up. Not sure what the thought was there.

With the recent updates, my app no longer prompts me to switch between running and walking. It announces other cues, like distance and pace and even warm-up and cool- down, but not those. I have every option on and it used to do this and I loved it! makes it very frustrating to have to keep watching the phone.

More treadmill options please! I've used running for a year now and it keeps getting better, the only reason or not giving 5 stars is that I would really like it if it had the option to modify the threadmill logs to add the speed for each interval. Also even with the intensive motivational cues activated I barely get 2 cues per training Edit: thanks for replying,however the only modifiable entries are distance, time or calories, not pace. Also it is not possible to modify the single interval

Shame really. I used to use this app fairly often. Started off paying the £8.99 monthly subscription, then I decided to use the free version. I have since changed my phone and re-downloaded the app. I am no longer able to access free mode, or get another free trial, and if I try to use the £1.54 a month option, it wants to debit me for an annual amount. I have tried emailing your support team but have recieved no response. I guess I will have to find another app.

This app zaps your battery and has caused my phone to overheat. I only used it once for a workout and my battery went from 63% to 12% in 30 minutes. The voicd prompts don't tell you when to switch from walking to running so you have to keep looking at the phone. The workout music choices stink. i listened to the same terrible song for more than 5 minutes. Don't waste your money or time on this. I am uninstalling!

I used to love this app and used it all the time. I took a break from running though and when I came back its forcing you to subscribe and if you choose the free option you have to "opt out" before the trial runs out or you'll get charged. to do this I have to sign into my iTunes account but I haven't used iTunes in years so now I'm scrabbling to figure out how to log in. extremely annoyed

Poor GPS capability on Android version. I use the free version on my iPod and love it. I paid for the premium only to realize I needed internet for it to work correctly. My iPod doesn't have internet, so I downloaded onto my Samsung and upgraded to premium. The GPS constantly drops signal (my phone service is exceptional) so none of the prompts work correctly, it doesn't use the trainer I chose (and paid for) and throws off my pace/mileage. I canceled my subscription and uninstalled.

I do like the workout plans and am very much enjoying the music playlist..the classical one anyway. The meal plan needs to step up its game though and I would oblige 5 stars. The meal plan should allow you to choose foods, for example, I'm not going to make anything with shrimp, or certain ingredients. Would also like to choose more consistent meals rather than all of these more time consuming meals.

I've had this app for over 2 years, great at the beginning and now just disappointed. 1. for the last 6 months the GPS hasn't worked. I run my normal route of 5 miles and the GPS roads I ran 1.2 only. This is with a paid premium prescription! 2. Contacted customer service several times with no response. 3. The app keeps crashing and worse, just turns itself on while I'm at work, not even using my phone. I have to force stop but it keeps happening throughout the day.

Im sad to give such a low rating because in the past I have loved using this. But the functionality is so bad that this app in its current state -unusable- at a price of £8,99 pm makes me feel scammed. The audio cues dont work so unless you are someone who uses a treadmill or runs with your phone in your hands you wont be able to follow the audio cues - even without music playing in the background - which is what you're paying for. sort it out! id love to be a customer again!

I was using this app last spring and voice feedback was working perfectly. After few months, I started to use it again, however, verbal feedback does not work correctly. I can hear the run and sprint commands without the duration information, and walk commmand does not work at all. I love this app but because of this I am very upset now.

I have not tried the app so I can't speak to that part of it. I was going to try the 7 day free trial then do a yearly subscription as from the comments it's much cheaper. When you get to the page to choose free trial or subscribe the monthly fee is $2.17/month, when you choose free trial you still have to put your credit card info in and then the fee is $12.99 a month after... Why an extra $120 a year just because I want to try it first? It doesn't seem right.

This app was great. But the trainers voices do not change, the app freezes way to much. I have deleted and redownload/trouble shooted but when you are in the middle of a jog and you don't know when you should stop but it has been stuck at 1min for 3 mins before crashing. This app needs a lot of support and better features.

While I did like the new structure of the weight loss running routine, the app itself is horrible. First, it never played the trainer I selected in the app. Second, the GPS was exceptionally unreliable, which made the timing/mileage/pacing prompts rarely accurate and made knowing your overall route and pace next to impossible (honestly, how are you supposed to gage improvements like that?!). Lastly, the app would never close properly. I had to force stop it after every workout. Not worth the $$!

I love this app! I never thought to use running as a Hiit workout! They help me ease back into running and lose weight better with the programs. Love to hear Erik trainer's voice. Its relaxing. They tell you when its time to run or walk. No need to check or think for yourself. I pay for the premium. Its worth it. Made my running more interesting.

I really like the training run/walk plan - that's how I started running 3years ago! But if the app the stops in the middle of a run without warning it sort of defeats the purpose right? I don't want to constantly check my phone to see if the app is running or not - but I would love to keep using it. So please help!

I loved this app, but I had to download it again on a new phone, and now there is no free version?!?! Too bad. I'll have to find a new app.

Normally, I hate running but this app breaks it down into several short run and walk, makes it easier and enjoyable. The best part is I lost 2kg in 3 weeks and my stamina improves . I have tried so many apps but no result but this one works! simple and easy to follow. Thumbs up ! very happy with it!
