Run 5k - couch to 5k program App Reviews

This app has turned my wife and I into runners! Well worth the price! Its a must have for anyone who wants to get off the couch and get in shape!

I used to be an avid runner but injuries have kept me on the couch for most of the last couple of years. This is a great app and I highly recommend it. Best to go into your iPod and shuffle music first, otherwise it will play your songs alphabetically. Sometimes it doesnt connect to Facebook. But otherwise perfect!

I never thought I could be a runner but this app changed that. It showed me how to build my endurance gradually and in no time Im running further than ever before. I would highly recommend this app!

When I first started running, I could barely last for two minutes without panting and being short of breath and exhausted. By week seven ( two weeks ahead of schedule ) I was running 5K in 35 minutes without stopping once and still plenty of energy to spare. Nothing works as good as this app!

Before using this app u would have rather eaten a bowl of scorpions then go out for a run. Honestly I never thought Id be able to do it, but I have literally gone from 0 exercise and a desk job to running 4.7 k and burning 500 calories yesterday on my Tuesday run. Sure running is hard, but this app really makes it easier. Totally worth your money!!!

Good concept but poorly designed. The music does not integrate well. I have an iPhone4 and after there is a voice command I have to restart the music. This is something that you have to stop jogging to do. So basically its just a stopwatch. Dont waste your money.

Interface is pleasant to look at and easy and use and I love that I can control my playlist thru the app. I far prefer using this app than keeping track of intervals myself. :)

Some weeks are much harder than others an Ive found myself repeating a few weeks because of my busy schedule BUT this has been my best app purchase. I went from no exercise/the occasional walk to being able to run longer and further than ever before. If youre looking for a helpful app to get you into shape, this is it. On top of that, it has a sleep design, music player works great, and the timer/vocal coach are handy.

3 months ago I could barely run for more then a minute or two. Now i am running 5K straight and hope to reach 10k in time. I cant reccomend this app enough. Its amazing what you can do with a little discipline and structure. Ive lost 25 lbs thanks to this app. Get it if you are serious about getting into running! You will not regret it.

Its perfect for running Couch to 5k and sticking to the program. Ticking off the runs on the app keeps me wanting to come back and do the next one. Its also got audio, visual, and vibrate cues to tell you when to switch from running to walking. Also had pause and continue for when youre tired. Amazing and good looking app that has changed my life!

We stopped using this because it would randomly stop timing during walk/run periods. Wed be thinking "hasnt it been 90 seconds?" only to open the phone up and see that it was "stuck" on a time. Case example. I went for a run at 6:30 and it stopped working during the exercise so I put the phone away and ran. 2 hours later it popped up saying it was time to walk.... First app I feel like Ive legitimately wasted my $$.

This app is great! I am back on my feet again and this simple app has helped motivate me. I would love an integrated distance calculator or gps, calorie burnet etc but then it might just get complicated... Looking forward to any improvement that are made. Thank you!

Perfect for runners who want to start running again or beginners. My only suggestion would be, to add the GPS mapping that will track how far I ran. I find that for the same time distance may vary so the ability to track that would make this app 5star. Cant wait to progress to 10k!!

I was 140lbs over weight n never ran in my life. This app help me get moving when I never thought I could run. It was an awesome app and now Im doing the couch to 10k. You will not be disappointed. Im down 40lbs now thank you.

Never was a runner , never thought I would be, and Im well on my way great ap, only complaint is the buttons to move minute timer back and fourth shouldnt be on main running screen , hit it a few times by mistake

Love this app, I have knee problems and followed this, with no pain! Also love how it beeps, buy this if you really want to run a 5k

Good app, no problems. Would recommend to others.

Not only did I make the 8 weeks, I itch on the off running days to go out anyway!

This app is fantastic for easing you into a good work out. I like to use it every spring/summer. Getting it out again now that the weather is getting warmer. One of the most useful apps for the touch.

When I started this program, I really didnt think I would be able to complete it - heavens I could barely do the first day without feeling like I was going to die, but with their graduated steps and a little determination, here I am starting week 6 with no fears that I wont be able to finish the program! Im even looking forward beyond completion of this and working toward marathon training! Boy do I feel good! If this app can help me, a 55 year old, find rejuvenation and better fitness/health, then it can for anyone!
