Ease into 5K: run walk interval training program for Negative User Reviews
✓ Needs to be compatible with I watchThis app would be perfect if it would connect to the I watch. I go for a run and usually have to hold it in my hand while I have a perfectly good watch on my hand that could do the job!.Version: 3.5.8
✓ App doesn’t always work rightI paid for the full app but the free version was the one running - I had to purchase a second time. And if I purchase an app I expect it to work and not cause me to have to stop multiple times during my run to fix settings..Version: 3.5.8
✓ OS 11 update has tanked this appPlease fix! GPS is unreliable.Version: 3.5.8
✓ TerribleWon’t alert you unless you have the app on the screen. You can’t switch to anything else or lock the screen..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Voice alerts don't workThe voice alerts don't work in the new OS! I restarted, and still nothing. This basically makes it a music player with fewer features. It's a discouraging way to restart my 5k training. Fortunately there are other apps out there that serve the same purpose..Version: 3.5.8
✓ App doesn’t work...Please Update!This app has stopped working with the latest iOS..Version: 3.5.8
✓ CANT play music on anything other then iphone 3.0!Doesn't specify in the description, but you CANNOT play music while using this app unless you're on an iphone. i'm on an itouch, which means i just wasted $2.99..Version: 0
✓ Okay but...I’ve had this app for about 10 years, and haven’t used it for awhile, but now that my foot had healed, my only complaint is that iPod shuffle does not work..Version: 3.5.8
✓ WAS greatThis WAS a great app (in 2019) but the they don’t update... all I can say is the program is good- but honestly, there are other (free) ways of following the program that aren’t as clunky and old school..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Long-time userI've been using this app for a few years when I've needed to return to running after injury and have found it to be good. Last year I requested an icon in the journal for running at night (a moon perhaps) as the other icons aren't relevant when running at night. The latest version is very inaccurate when it comes to pace. Today's run, according to the app I ran average pace of 11:22/km, walked average pace of 14:xx/km yet my overall average pace was 8:14/km?!? Also, it won't save my weight correctly so each time I journal I have to enter my correct weight. It still works but its buggy!.Version: 3.2.4
✓ Changes To Week OneI originally started C25K in 2011 but due to injury had to stop. I've recently restarted and would like to comment on the changes to week one during that time. When I restarted it was as a beginner and one minute segments are just too much in my opinion. The previous 30 and 45 second chunks were just about manageable for an absolute beginner but one minute sections are just a little bit too much. Personally I made myself do them because I know I can and have done up to week 3 before injury. For an absolute beginner that this app is designed for then it is enough to make them give up at the first try. I am told it had been changed because treadmills cannot be programmed to anything less than a minute. In the real world most people don't have access to a treadmill and want to just run around their local park..Version: 3.3.3
✓ Annoying - needs update!This started skipping prompts, repeating prompts, seemingly running two different programmes at the same time... Not what you need when every 10 seconds counts! Then when the run was completed, the app carried on pinging updates for a further 5 mins until I quit it. Am reluctant to uninstall it when I paid for it, but will be switching to another Couch to 5k app until it's sorted out, or I can run 30 mins without minding extra reps, whichever comes first..Version: 3.3.3
✓ Used to be awesomeThis app used to work really well. Now the last 10 times I've used it, it only gives me the run/walk notifications when it feels like it. It screws up my run having to stop and restart all the time because it doesn't tell me when to run or walk like it's supposed to..Version: 3.3.4
✓ Where's the watch app?!Would be 5 star rating if it had a watch app to tell you your info instead of having to pull the phone out..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Big failI couldn't hear any alerts to walk or run. I thought I was going crazy. Turns out, it's just that the app requires that not only you keep it in the foreground, but that the display never sleeps. Seriously? I am not going to adjust my settings back and forth every day from lockout after 30 seconds to never. Throwing this away..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Great but phone can’t lock to workI love this app’s purpose, but I continually have this issue where if my iPhone locks the voice and tone notification to walk/run won’t work. You can “lock” the app’s screen but that doesn’t lock the rest of your phone. If the side lock button gets bumped while I’m running I don’t get notified. I have messed with phone setting, etc and it still happens. Otherwise a good app..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Music won’t work!It’s a good program but I can’t get my music to play with it. I have to play music from my music app and every time the running app speaks for any length of time the music stops. Bit of a pain as it breaks the flow of the run considerably..Version: 3.5.8
✓ FreezesBought this app several years ago and had no problems with it. Began using it again about 2 weeks ago and it either freezes, doesn't play the music playlist I specifically made on the app, or the GPS keeps track of the miles wrong. There is no way I ran/walked 9 miles my 2nd week of the app. I will be looking for a new app. (iPhone 6s Plus).Version: 3.5.8
✓ CrashesTwice in the last week music stops playing 2/3 through the workout then the app crashes. This is very disappointing. This app was once called Couch To 5K. I bought this app and later it changed names to Ease To 5K. I noticed that Couch To 5K can be purchased again. If this is a better version of the app I feel that I have been ripped off..Version: 3.5.8
✓ No longer usefulI've had this app for several years and have recommended it to many new runners. Recently I downloaded it again to start running after an injury but was disappointed by the current version. The run/walk alerts no longer work when the iPhone is locked. You have to set the auto lock to never in order for the alerts to come through. This one great app is now just a so-so GPS tracker with music. Save your money and look elsewhere until they fix this problem..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Missing one thingThe app is great and I love using it to get ready back into running. However, it doesn’t track you if you’re on a treadmill. Other apps will track this if you have it on your arm (it counts arm swings). Occasionally I have to run on a treadmill and this app doesn’t pick up how far you’ve gone during the workout. Disappointing to see “152 minute pace during this workout” When really I ran the entire time at a 9:30 pace!!.Version: 3.5.8
✓ Sometimes unreliableWhen it works, it works fine, but it’s sometimes unreliable. There seem to be some programming issues. For example, sometimes it starts the music when I start the warmup and sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve had it crash mid-run; this is really annoying when you’re waiting for it to tell you to stop running (or start running)! And, for the love of Pete, don’t lock the device while this is running! (It won’t tell you anything.) It’s basically a good app, it just needs some updated programming..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Abandoned? Not updated in over 3 yrsI had used this app a lot in the past. It’s not been updated in ages and now runs erratically in the newest versions of iOS. Looks like it’s time to move on..Version: 3.5.8
✓ BugI really like this app. But for my last two jogs for some reason the sound and vibrate alert to signal when to change between running and walking is not working - Is this a bug as a result of the latest iPhone software update? If so it would be great if it could be fixed..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Fine app location tracking needs to be fixedI’ve used this app for a few years and it’s done a great job getting me running. I liked that it wasn’t a social app like Strava because I don’t need my runs shared with anyone else. The app no longer seems to work if location services are set to “only in use” and that’s a problem. No reason y’all need to track me when I’m not running. Please fix that and you’d be a 5-star review..Version: 3.5.8
✓ DisappointedI have used this app for 5 years but in its current form it does not track distance accurately (to say the very least). It tell me I've run 5k when I know I haven't and some of the alerts from run to walk or vice versa don't work so I'm left wondering why I feel so breathless then discover I've run more than I should have. I have a heart condition so this is risky for me. Also the audio info of calories burned etc does not work reliably. It's a real shame because I love this app but rapidly losing confidence in it. I would love for you to fix it as soon as you can please..Version: 3.5.7
✓ FrustratedI can’t get this thing to work unless my screen is on. Even then my songs stop every time it alerts me to run or walk making it impossible to keep my phone zipped up. My phone almost always dies either before or just as I’m finishing. So annoying. If they fix it this would be a really good app because it’s features are better than most. Especially if you’re wanting to graduate to the 10k without starting over like other apps do..Version: 3.5.8
✓ OutdatedI love the app and have had it for years, but the latest version is over 3 years old now without any updates. If you stream music while you’re running with the app on, be prepared for severe battery drainage. (Let’s not even get into if you’re using wireless earbuds and most new phones have driven us to!) You also cannot lock your phone while using the app (to conserve battery life) because if you do lock your phone, the audio cues will stop playing, essentially ruining your program for the day. It seems crazy that this has been abandoned by the developers, bc I would love to have this on my Apple Watch so that I don’t even have to bring my phone with me on a run..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Disappointed.I loved this app and was about ½ way through. Sadly the newest update turned it to caca. Looks like there were important changes to how it works, that you have to find out by chance. And no matter what changes I made, once the app was in the background there were no voice prompts. This makes completely useless - who runs whilst looking at the screen?! Very disappointed and now have to start over with new app!.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Freezing and inoperable with iOS 11.2.2Have tried to use with latest iOS and freezes completely as soon as countdown screen launches. Have tried restarting phone to no avail. Frustrating as have used app a number of times in the past and otherwise is a great app with all the functionality required..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Good appI'm a long time user of this an have recommended it to all my friends. Now here is the but. There is a consistent problem with this app which despite many emails to customer service I have had no replies or it seems any attempt to fix. A great app ruined by poor customer service. 1 star..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Please update the appPlease update the app so that it works with Apple Music! I really want to use this app again! It tends to crash sometimes too!.Version: 3.5.8
✓ Update pleaseI wish they would update this app. It’s my favorite couch to 5k app I’ve used. I love the interface and the options. But it’s been 5 years and the little bugs are making it janky. I’m moving on to another app, but this has been my favorite. Sad to let it go..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Great app but needs Apple Watch linkI love this app. It’s easy to use and helped me achieve my goal of running 5km. The only thing that lets it down is that it doesn’t have an Apple Watch app. Please, please, please add this feature..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Used to be betterIt doesn’t work when the phone screen is locked, rendering it basically useless. If I keep my phone on the entire time it’s ok, but that’s annoying and uses up 50% of my phone battery for one app. Not cool..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Not what it used to be...I got this app several years ago. Then I’d have given it 5 stars easily. In my opinion it was the best running app out there. Used a few times off and on. This year I got it to start training with a 5k with one of the kids. Currently on week 5. It’s only worked three times one week out of it all. We’ve had to use a different running app when these freezes or set our timer for intervals on running when the second app froze. In it’s current state do not get this app. When or if it’s fixed I’d be more than happy to go back re-rate to 5 stars..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Still crashesIt still crashes a lot, even with the new update. :(.Version: 3.2.4
✓ Awesome!UPDATE: This app went downhill. I’ve had it since 2012 and now it doesn’t alert you if your phone’s screen is off (wasting battery power) and now for 2 weeks it’s glitchy. Takes too long to start. Auto pauses even though your moving. When you try to restart it tells you to run when you should be walking or vice versa. It’s terrible anymore. Wish i could get my money back now. The best thing about this app is just when you think you'll have to repeat a day because you feel not ready, you surprise yourself by being more than ready. The app is timed perfectly to your abilities to go longer and harder..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Overall great product, but could be much better.For the price, it's a great product. To the developer: If there was a GPS enabled portion that would track my run and my route, I'd easily pay $15-20 for this APP. Generally speaking though, it's a great product. But who cares about all this Facebook functionality, however. Meh. An option to export HTML to an email that would put my run time, my distance (gathered by GPS), and overall progress into a nice little HTML page (or package) would be awesome - and much more flexible to upload to a blog, personal webpage, etc. At least that's a great idea for all us non-facebook types..Version: 0
✓ DoesnWays this app is inferior to other running apps I've tried: - Can't link to pre-made iPod playlists - Opens the GPS, and doesn't shut it down automatically when you're done your workout - The music stops when you click "done" on the workout - It won't let you choose if you want to measure your distance/pace in KM instead of the default miles These are all really important things to me. I'm really sorry I bought this app, and even more sorry I bought the GPS add on. Would not recommend this app to others, and indeed would try to warn them against it..Version: 3.1.1
✓ No alerts when lockedIt only gives you alerts to run or walk when the app is open and the screen is unlocked. That defeats the purpose..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Needs improvementI've used this app for many years, as long as I've owned iPhone. I used to love this app but recently (in one week) I've had crashes and voice prompt issues. The crashes I wrote off as a fluke, but when I hear run and the next voice alert I get is also run something is wrong. I don't always get the cool down or completed workout prompt anymore either. I wouldn't be using the taper if I didn't need it, so it's getting obnoxious..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Don't botherNo voice alerts makes this useless..Version: 3.5.8
✓ What went wrong?I used this app a couple of years ago to train for my first 5k, and it worked great. This morning I tried it for the first time since then (recovering from injury) and it keeps freezing up on my iPhone 6S Plus. Disappointing!!.Version: 3.5.8
✓ It's garbage.The app worked great when I first downloaded it, now it doesn't track my speed or distance correctly even after resetting location and everything else. I ran for a little over 2 miles and it only tracked .03. What? A seventy-four minute mile? Almost impossible. Glad I re-upped my subscription for nothing. I will be purchasing a similar app with better reviews. Learned my lesson on checking stats before wasting my money..Version: 3.5.8
✓ UnreliableKeep having issues with the workouts pausing on their own over and over. Sometimes I can get back going, sometimes get stuck in a loop of pauses every few seconds! (No problems with my phone or any other apps)..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Some problemsGreat program but the app appears buggy, randomising the workout schedule, and inaccurate gps..Version: 3.1.1
✓ DisappointedI used an earlier version of this app 4-5 years ago and was pretty happy with it. When I decided to get back into running it was the first one I pulled up. However, on Week 1 Day 1 during my workout I discovered that the alerts do not work when the phone is locked. That is a HUGE negative for me as a pocket phone holder, and a deal breaker. I will be looking for another C25K app..Version: 3.5.8
