Run 5k - couch to 5k program App Reviews

God, how I HATE this shoddily programmed piece of dreck - slow, dumb and randomly ignoring playlists, most often the ones you want at that moment... might look godd but that is it has got to offer, very frustrating.

Excellent app. Keeps you on track to reaching your goal.

I had been debating whether or not to buy this app for a while since I dont have a treadmill and running outside just wasnt an option all the time. So I waited till it finally warmed up and decided to purchase this app and boy, I am glad that I did. Ive only just started (Im on week 2) but I am loving it! I look forward to this workout. I love the simplicity of the app. It would be really nice if it had a calories burned function and the ability to shuffle your songs but other than that this app is awesome!! Definitely would recommend to someone that has been thinking about getting this. Thanks for getting me motivated!!!

Love this app...Im on the end of week 2 right now and i just love it! This is the perfect way to ease into running...I cant thank you enough! I experienced some glitches in my run yesterday but hopefully after installing the updates it will be running more smoothly. I recommend this app to ANYONE who wants to learn how to run and not pass out in the process! :P

Love love love this app! No watching the clock, just set up a good running music mix and go!!! I even want to run a little longer..... Thanks for the app.

Really useful to train you! My only wish would be if it had a similar guided program that counted down to ensure proper stretching after a run.

Worth every penny.

I am on week 6 and NEVER thought Id be able to run as long as I can now. All ready downloaded the next program too (10k!). I love that you can shorten the warm up if you wish! Totally recommend this app!

Ive been off and on the running bandwagon, and this time around, Im actually sticking with it because of this app. I love the help with the interval training. It would be great if there was a mapping feature as well.

Never thought an iPhone app could get me running, but it did. Im just about to start week 4 and Im actually enjoying the process. If youve always wanted to be a runner but couldnt get going, this app will do it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was the fact that the music controls arent very good (but you can start the music then the app, so its not really a big deal).

This app makes me want to keep at it. Its so easy. I just wish we could change the colour scheme.

Im 35, a good 50+ pounds overweight and never been a runner. Ive just started week 6, and can already run 20 minutes at a good pace no problem. Cant wait to hit the 5k mark. Thanks for the app!

Best workout app for the most out of shape individual possible!!! Literally took my ace of the couch and onto the tread and then out the door and now starting c210k!!! If I can do it then anybody can do this...

I just purchased this app today and just used it. It worked exactly as I had hoped. Its a great aid to help me achieve my goal. Thank you!

This will take a couch potato to running 5 km in 7 weeks if you dont have the time required!!! I am so proud of myself for doing my first run ever, I never knew I had it in me!

I started this app with my boyfriend, and we love it! Neither of us are runners and we wanted to start. We are already in week 2 and so far we are doing great. This app literally got us off the couch. Now we cant wait to be able to run 5k. :)

I literally went from the couch to now running 4k (almost to 5k!) Im on week 8 and I feel amazing!!!! This app is awesome! I like how it tells you when to run, walk and when your halfway through. I cant believe Im running 3 days a week! I never thought I would ever do this. Thanks for making this app and getting me off the couch!!!!!

... theres no way to turn off the pop-up notifications for this app. i know this is a nitpick, but given that a lot of people use this app in conjuction with Nike+ this is a problem. when you finish your training run and you want to end your Nike+ workout you have to hit OK for a bunch of Couch to 5k notifications before you can hit Pause and then End Workout on Nike+. im new to running and im not that knowledgeable about running times, but I figure that its problematic if Couch to 5k adds 10-15 seconds to your Nike+ workout times because you cant disable notifications. other than that, i think Couch to 5K is a great application. it looks great and its well put together. thanks for creating it!

This app allows you to listen to whatever music or podcast you want to while it shows and tells you how to follow the C25K plan. I had used a podcast to follow the plan while using Nike plus to track my runs, but this app does so much more! I can listen to my daily podcasts and see my progress and use Nike plus while seeing the exact time until the next run or jog! Thank-You!

Really loving this program and the app. Makes running much easier. Ive tried doing this on my own on a treadmill and hated every minute of it. Got the app, put on music and go. Love it! Makes it that much easier to get up and get running!
