Couch To 5k Workout Run Jog Walk App Reviews

Why is this app covered in ads when I paid to use it? It makes it impossible to switch workouts!!

Just started using this app. So far, so good. Haven't experienced the issues with the music. Hope I don't.

This really helps me on my treadmill makes the time go faster.even tho I am only on the first week it seems I am improving on my run jog routine.thanks for this app.

Hate that you have to keep refreshing the screen for time to continue to elapse. I use music from a second source, so perhaps that's the problem, but hate having to keep tapping the screen.

Great concept if they can just tweak a few issues to relieve us from the frustration of using the app. First, fix the issue of the program shutting down when the phone goes into sleep mode! Second, fix the music so that it doesn't start at the beginning when you have to restart the program after it shuts down because the phone went into sleep mode!! Spent more time messing with the app then actually running!

I have been using this for a couple months now. I use it about 3 times a week. The workouts are good. I like how they build up the intensity over time. I, too, have bumped the screen and the workout started over again. I run on the treadmill and I'm not sure if it would work well running outside. I'm sure I would hit the screen more often. The music seems to work fine for me. I like that I get to choose my own songs. Overall, I like the app and I would recommend it to others.

They have to get the auto lock feature figured out.

The first day I downloaded it it didn't work! The music never played. The layout is awful. Don't waste your time or money. Deleting it and downloading a different one.

It's a good concept, but the music is always stopping and it won't connect to my twitter and post. I'm going to try and find a better app.

Have not exercised in some time. Desk job where I sit for hours. Started getting stiff. I have had arthroscopic knee surgery so I was amazed that I could jog!!! And I never got sore. I Paired this with fat burner and weight loss workout on my treadmill. Got rid of my saddlebags that my trainer said there was nothing I can do to get rid of them.... Very happy!!!!

Would be nice to see goal tracking and progress. Hope I can run a 5K some day.

It's not perfect, but it was free. My only request is that you be able to start it and then go out to iTunes or another audio app for music and the timer keeps running. When you do, the timer stops running. I have started listening on another device, but then you lose the little voice telling you when to switch. I have been using it for over a week and really feel like my heart is beating and I'm building up gradually from almost nothing a week ago. I've recommended it.

I have been enjoying the app Couch to 5K very much. I have been running with my phone on my arm band. I wish that when the workout was finished, the program would beep twice to signal its conclusion.

It repeats the same song over and over and shuts down when my iPod sleeps. Very frustrating when I am trying to focus on running.

The app turns off when the screen goes dark. Also you can add songs to the app to listen while you run but when the app turns off all of the songs are lost so you have to go back and re add.

So I bought and got nothing but another request to BUY another app. Did I miss something??

Great app!

I used this app before while running in my neighborhood. The music shut off a lot and it didn't work as I had hoped. This time around I am using it on my treadmill without music and it is great!

I love running with this app. Trains real well.

Booooo this app stinks. Save yourself the time money and space. It only beeps and it starts when you play music every time I turn phone back on to see where I'm at the music goes off. It does the same beep for cool down I was running the whole cool down time had to look at my iPod to see where I was. What happen to the original couch to 5k. :(

Couch to 5k is a great! It helped me so much. I have actually ran in 5k's now.

I like it. Just what I was looking for !!

I love the concept, but hate when I touch the phone screen by mistake or when I clipping it to my waist and it goes to pause or just close the app. Should be a way to lock it. I had to start all over in many occasions. I resolve the issue of my phone goes to sleep setting my phone to never and so far so good. For sure this app got me out of the couch and ready to 5k in few months.

Paid $5 for this app and the recent update won't download. What a joke.

It starts out great, but the music option does not work as it is supposed too. The music buttons are located right by the home button, if you accidentally hit the home button, you workout starts over...grrrrrrr. I you can not skip workouts either, because it erased my progress I kept running using their timing routines, but I could not go any farther than the 1st week. Grrrrrrrr

Great app

I like the progressions, but I can't get the music to work. I also have accidentally hit "home" while running and then have to restart the workout. It needs a resume button.

This app is cool but you can't have your music too loud or you won't hear the beep. Several times I missed the beep and missed when I was supposed to start running or walking. It would be better to use on a treadmill where you can watch screen to see when it's time to switch activity. Still neat tho!!!

I love the idea of the app because it helps me pace myself and build up during runs or else I would run flat out and be worn out in 30 mins. I hate that it can't seem to figure a lot of it out. The app is difficult to navigate and when the phone auto locks it pauses it. Since I am running I don't notice then I have to unpause and I have run for way too long and get off time. Also, how do I look at previous sessions???

So far the workout has been a great tool. Like the easy to follow guidelines, timers, beeps signaling end of each period. However, music function has not worked since second day. And since I paid for the app, I hate the banner ads wanting me to check out healthcare in my neighborhood, turn my iPad into a shopping mall, or buy tea because Lady A says it's good. There placement covers up the day and week of your workout schedule. Poor design. So for those reasons just a middle of the road rating.

It's amazing!

I really like this app because I am just starting to exercise and the 30 minutes goes by so fast and I feel great when I'm done. The things I don't like are the home button being too close to the music settings and is easy to bump on accident and the other issue is I wish I could save my playlist or playlists, I have to put my songs in every time I do a workout. If those things were fixed I would give a 5 star rating!

It worked fine until a recent update now the music player won't keep playing. Every time I go to add music it starts the timer. Not liking it much now because it is so frustrating. Hopefully they fix the issues soon.

Good program but they need to fix the sleep and music issues and make the beep louder or have it override the music

The beep is too quiet, you can't hear it over any type of music. When the phone locks the app pauses and does not continue to count run/walk time. Therefore, it does not function properly. I couldn't use it. Bought C25K app and love it. No issues.

Despite being very difficult to navigate, First day the app ran great. Second day music wouldn't play and timer was running double time counting down by twos. Deleting it!!! Don't waste your money !!

This app was great when I first got it but they did a update and now when you phone goes into sleep mode it stops the timer so I have to keep touching the screen. It also won't go to the next day after I have completed a workout.

Love it....really has helped me get in shape...not sure if you can cancel a session once you have started it, and I would like to listen to pandora at the same time

Music is terrible. Using Pandora now. Wish it posted to Facebook instead of twitter.

I really like the pace & the interval training. You don't give up because you know that you get a walking interval. I don't like that when I switch to another app like MapMyRun or even music, this app will auto-pause & only resumes when you open it back up.

I loved this app!!!!!

This app wouldn't load and didn't do anything. What a waste od money! Doesn't even deserve 1 star.

Awesome app

Screen does not turn, ads cover the impt icons, need note field on workout review, should be able to fast forward time. It cancelled my run when I tried to shut off the repeating song and then I had to start over!!!! I want my 2 dollars back as a free app probably works better,,

Not great. Music interface is bad. Shuts down when phone goes to sleep. Beep not loud enough to me heard over music. No help function. Wish it posted to Facebook instead of twitter.

I was using this just fine until the second day I noticed that when the screen went off, so did the timer. It would quit running. Waiting on update to fix!!

Started out unable to jog next door. Now I go 30-40 minutes non-stop. My only complaint is the music used to stay on even if my phone timed out and shut down. It doesn't do this now - just shuts off

I dislike the music interface, doesn't work. The beeps are not distinguishable between walk and jog. The app does not have a way to keep it on. It isn't very loud in voice mode. I have my pod on music and then my phone on the app as loud as it gets and it seems to work for my workouts. Great concept , if worked well.

It keeps me motivated. Had to switch my iPhone settings so it doesn't go to sleep. The only wish I have is that they would integrate the music settings better. Very easy to hit the wrong button when messing with song selection.
