Run 5k - couch to 5k program App Reviews

Purchased this as a friend was raving about it. I was told it would be able to be downloaded to the IPOD. I see now that I cant. HELP anyone know if its possible to get this on an ipod or anything like it. It would really be helpful when running!

I just ran my last run today with 5k app and I made it! It was easier than I ever thought, thanks to the app. I highly recommend for anyone looking to get their 5k done quick and easy. Sometimes it was challenging, but always rewarding. I like the music feature and the prompts. Can we get an actual measure of distance and speed for each run? That would help a lot. Be careful not to press pause while running lol!

Love this app! I jog at night and would give this 6 stars if somhow you could incorporate my phones flashlight into the app; not so i can see where im running but so others can see me

Just started using this app again and I love the updates. The guided stretches and gps mileage tracking are great!

Audio cues? They never happen and now I can run for 45 mins. Thank you 5k. How exactly - step by step - do I start the program and music so that I can run knowing audio cues are coming when they should? Each update changes this feature and Im ready to try another app.

I keep looking for a better app, but there isnt one!

I think I had an older version that autoupdated at some point & Im really glad it did! The old version had some weird volume issues but those are all sorted out - this version is really stable and Im loving it. I look forward to when I will need to buy the 10k and the 21k!

Of all the "run 5k" apps, this one is the best.

Use it everyday. No issue

Tried to use the app for a run through phone. While the app does show the cues, with podcast playing it did not provide audio cues. Thats not very helpful. Dont want to have to look at my phone to know when to run/walk. Next run I tried using the Apple Watch version hoping that would provide cues. This time I listened to an audio book on my phone and used the Apple Watch for the cues think g it would provide some sort of either haptic or audio feedback. NOTHING. Again I only way cued by staring at my watch. That is ridiculous. Why bother.

Fantastic little app that does what I want from a training app and no more. Im currently in the final week, running over 5k every workout, and just bought their 10k app to keep going!

After the upgrade I can barely hear the audio cues when I have my screen locked, useless. Please fix asap (all the buttons are on in the settings). Also the pause button doesnt work on the playlist.

I loved this app, but apparently I can no longer use it since I dont have ios 6. :(

Finished it, ran a 5k with ease! Awesome app!

It keeps getting better and better. I am working on my first race with this app, and I have NEVER run before. Truly worth every penny. One small change: there should be a brief 1 second pause when switching sides in the stretches. Other than that, its a fabulous app.

I am not athletic and when I started trying to run everyone told me to stretch. Which ones? How long? Etc these were the questions I had. This app is truly a trainer because it takes you through each stretch and has a timer!! Ive used other couch to 5K apps, but this one meets my needs and is teaching me the proper way to run.

Really helps me to stay motivated. Love that you dont have to like at it...just put in earbuds and go! Only thing I wish I could change is the distance recorded at the end of a treadmill run. Keeps me from posting and sharing. Great app!

I purchased this app as a couch potato, and I never really enjoyed exercise. I used this app to train me from not being able to run a quarter of a mile to being able to run more than three. Not only did I become a lot healthier over the eight week program; I discovered how much I really do enjoy running. I will soon purchase the Run 10K app to run even farther, all because of the excellent experience I had with this app.

This app has always had a couple of flaws here and there, but nothing overtly annoying. Recently, with one of the various updates, it started harassing to turn on bluetooth. And now, every time I start the app Im reminded of this "option". Warm-up is good. The program is good. Music and playlist ability is good. Bugging me about bluetooth every time I open the app, definitely not good.

Great app, great program. Lately I have had problems with the "check mark" for completion being on the wrong run making it tricky to figure out which to do next. Also, I wish it would show what my best pace was and possibly calories burned. Overall, worth the money. :)
