Running Slimkit - Lose Weight for Negative User Reviews
✓ What happened to the free version?Took a break from running and when I decided to start again I was excited to use the app. I have always used the free version as I have no need for a plan. When I went to use the app I am now forced to pick a plan. That is disappointing because I really liked this app in the past..Version: 6.26.1
✓ Good but needs moreI like that I can choose why I am running and also a layout of paced running to build up stamina because it gives me targets to stick to and great if you’re like me and lacks discipline. I can track my water intake and get reminders. My only issue is that I can’t use diet plan because I don’t eat meat and it’s pretty much all meat, there is no option I can see to change the diet specific to what I need/want also I can log my food and calorie intake along side my exercise routine (this would be a nice option for me) because building up stamina is making my eating habits a little erratic now I am doing more exercise.Version: 6.9.4
✓ Don’t download unless you’re willing to risk paying for something you can’t even see.No free trial option, but it’s the fact that you can’t even go into the app after entering details without paying. You’re risking paying without seeing ANYTHING about how the app works or if it’s even what you want. Literally just straight up MONEY GRABBERS. I get it’s ‘experts’ so you need some income, but you can have ads, you can offer some sort of free progression route to actually use to app, even if it’s limited. Just totally not worth it. I’m convinced they’ve faked reviews bc ain’t no way people like it this much. listen to the one stars, they know what’s right..Version: 6.27.2
✓ Impossible to cancel subscriptionThey've made it very difficult to cancel your subscription. It starts charging you without any warning and there are no instructions for how to cancel. I had to hunt through the FAQ's.Version: 6.3
✓ Not worth the download NOT FREEThis app states there is a free version of the app. What complete rubbish. I can’t even get past the start up page as it requests either a 7 day free trial or to pay up front. People like to use “free/lite” versions of an app for more than 7 days to work out if they will like/use it or not and not have to worry about when a free trial will expire so they don’t purchase an app that they may not use! If there is such a thing of free version please state the steps to access this!.Version: 6.9.15
✓ Family Sharing not availableThis is a good app, but it’s a bit pricey to pay for twice. If they allowed you to share your purchase with your spouse it would make it worth it..Version: 6.9.30
✓ It's good but...... the watch app needs a bit of work still. The app needs to make it so that when I raise my wrist I can see it; unfortunately the music player is taking precedence and hiding the running app. It also will keep defaulting to the info screen. Update following developer response: I run with both watch and phone, never watch on its own, so it is not working even with this..Version: 6.8.4
✓ Great app with iPhone but terrible with Apple Watch- paid subscription for the yearI love this app and paid for the full year subscription but at first it wouldn’t even open on my Apple Watch. Then that was fixed and the app would function without my phone until about 28 minutes into the run when the coach indicating when to sprint, run, or walk would lag and then the app just crapped out totally and stopped working. All of my history for that workout was gone never to be found again. Also, if you are just using the watch, the music function does not work (not even offered) and so it doesn’t speed up and slow down when appropriate. I’d love to have the app work with my watch before asking for a refund because it has the greatest features.Version: 6.9.3
✓ Brilliant free app but Now I have to Pay!!!I’ve been using this app for over a year and am loving it, I run 3 times a week and have gone from 2-7K it’s a great motivational app with the different distances you can drop back down to if you’re feeling like a shorter run and all my achievements are recorded to see my progress no issues love it! Until this morning I have gone to use the app and it goes straight to upgrade to premium and pay! I DONT WANT PREMIUM 😡I am happy with my free app and workouts I’ve been doing for the last 18 months! I can’t bypass the pop up and press an X to go back to the free version!! I have not done anything different than before, not a new phone, not a re-download of the app, nothing I went for a run free on Sunday but today (Wednesday) I’ll have to pay!! I am really disappointed as all my records of achievement will be lost as I’ll have to look for a new free app, it’s wrong to change over without the option not everyone want to have to pay premium! NOT GOOD!!!.Version: 6.9.10
✓ Good but with faultsLove the times it gives you and the Intervalls - so easy to get back into running and actually challenging but fun. Insanely annoying is that it keeps loosing GPS and keeps repeating “gps lost” “gps found” etc And I run syndey cbd so no real reason for no GPS. Other than that quite happy.Version: 6.9
✓ Waste of time- look elsewhereHave been thoroughly ripped off by this app. Every run, the distance it shows is drastically different (up to 800m!) from what comes up in the summary. Help centre were utterly indifferent. Their solutions did not even exist in the app, with one even suggesting I use a different app to get an accurate distance. Definitely don’t go Premium- all it does is drop the ads within additional functionality to speak of.Version: 6.9.15
✓ Great running app, a few suggestions thoughSo I paid for the 1-year premium subscription so I could get back into running after having a baby. Before baby I was running about 15 miles a week, sometimes 5 mile days so pretty decent runner. The program started out super slow for me but ramped up really fast, so fast that I couldn’t keep up especially when I was running outside. A few suggestions to make: 1) Don’t ramp up the intensity so quickly. In the running for weight loss program, there’s only one day where you walk after sprinting, then it’s all running. Give us a week or more of walking after sprinting to adjust. 2) Allow users to adjust how long they can run. Usually I only get 30-40 min to run in the mornings, so when the time increases to 48 mins long, I basically never get to finish a workout. 3) Allow users to customize their own workout. I would like to create my own workout with 5 min running, 30 seconds sprint, 30 seconds walk, then repeat for example..Version: 6.16
✓ It doesn’t provide anything that you can do for yourselfIt doesn’t provide anything that you not do for yourself. It only tracks how much you run, which to me is a waste of money paying for something that just keeps a record of how long you run for..Version: 6.21.2
✓ CancelI’ve been trying to cancel his for months CANCEL it please ... not required anymore.Version: 6.9.8
✓ It’s making me pay and not letting me use the free versionI used to love this app and have referred it to many many friends, but all out of sudden it got stuck. I have stoped running for a while and now I want to go back using the app on the free version and it’s simply showing a page with the monthly paid trial plus subscription and not letting me leave this option to go ahead to free version. The only thing I changed on my settings was to intermediate stage 1 (not pro version) and now its stuck into this stupid page! Can somebody reply on this please?.Version: 6.9.12
✓ Not worth itNot really a plan, just some random run schedules.Version: 6.16
✓ Love the conceptThe concept of this app is great. I love that you get a plan according to your skill level and it pushes you harder as the days go. You can start the app as a beginner or start at advanced and get a proper running plan. I like that there’s a coach helping you along and cheering you on! The music is also really nice to run to! There are some great playlists on here for motivation. The only downfall I found so far was compatibility with AirPods. Which sadly I can’t get over.. anytime the phone does anything else outside of the running app the AirPod drops Bluetooth. So my music starts playing from the phone speakers and I have to unpair the AirPods and pair them again. This happens if I get a notification, call, text, activity alert from my watch or if the AirPods sense my hands in the vicinity of my ears... like to wipe sweat off my brow. Also today the alerts stopped working in the last 10 minutes of my run. So it didn’t tell me when to speed up, walk or start running again. Hopefully this gets fixed at some point and I can use this app again..Version: 6.8.4
✓ Can’t get premiumThere’s some kind of glitch that won’t allow the 7 day premium trial to process so....I uninstalled the app lol. I’m on iPhone X, latest updates all installed 🤷🏼♀️.Version: 6.9.24
✓ Drains battery when not in use!I downloaded this ap and used once today, I thought it was great, really enjoyed my run with it and was looking forward to using it loads more. However I noticed that throughout the day my battery on phone was draining very fast. When I did a check to see what apps were draining it the running ap had been running in the background and was taking up 45% of my days useage! When I tried to disable the ap from running in the background I was unable to do so. Sadly I have had no choice but to delete the ap..Version: 6.8.4
✓ Ok it could be betterTrying the premium trial for a week and already hit some snags. Firstly there’s no option or at least that I can’t see to turn from metric to imperial. Secondly the diet plan doesn’t seem to let me choose dietary options all it shows me is a recipe for an omelette and I’m vegan. I think the intention of this app is nice but need more options and time invested, or a better layout if I’ve missed the options that I’ve mentioned above as I couldn’t find a way round it..Version: 6.9.5
✓ DisappointedApp does not read data from iheath..Version: 6.10.2
✓ No mention of in- app purchasePlease indicate this on your app so we don’t waste our time thinking it’s free. Thank you!.Version: 6.27.2
✓ Entraîneur ordinaireHardly a “trainer”.Version: 6.17
✓ What do I need to pay?Really love the app and starting to get real value out of using it, but I’m a little annoyed by the subscription and what it covers. I’m really confused as I thought I subscribed/paid to the premium plan after my trial period, only to be asked to subscribe and pay again for the music also?? Would like to understand what is included in the premium plan..Version: 6.8.4
✓ How do I unsubscribe to this app please?How do I unsubscribe to this app please?.Version: 6.9.8
✓ Won’t cancel and refund my moneyI downloaded the app about two days ago and accidentally hit the subscribe button. I sent them an email right away but after 24 hours no replies yet so I sent a follow up email. Still nothing..Version: 6.12
✓ Looking for the free version I’ve used in the past?I’ve used this app in the past for free and it’s great, some little annoying things but programme works. When downloading it from App Store to use again it looks like the free version has disappeared. As I don’t want to pay US dollars from Australia I won’t be going with this one. Is there still a free version?.Version: 6.9.17
✓ Ups and downsThis app has its ups and downs. Was I a running before? No! Can I now run a 5k without stopping? Yes! This app does take steps to get you from running 1 minute to 4 minutes, etc. there are a lot of adds, and I do mean a lot. You can’t click anything without getting an add for their premium membership. An add here and there are fine, but this is every click. I have had the app for a while now and the verbal feedback was working fine. 2 updates ago, they screwed up big time. Now when the voice comes on saying your distance and time, it’s no longer freebee Lisa, instead it’s the 80s male robotic voice. I’ve submitted 2 times telling them this needs to be fixed and still nothing. Just what I want to hear when I’m 2 miles in. No thank you. I do like knowing my pace and such, which is why I’ve left that feature on, but looks like I’ll have to switch it off..Version: 6.9.8
✓ $$$ for nothing$67 a year (or $25 a month) for an app that tells you to run in order to lose weight. Just run... If you’re new to running, start slow and build up to slowly. You don’t need an overpriced app to tell you this..Version: 6.17.1
✓ Nothing is free, not even for 30 daysDo not download unless you want to pay for the plan ($9.99 per month)... I decided to give this app a "test" run. I decided after a few days that it wasn't for me. I was busy with work and didn't delete automatically. I downloaded the app on March 25th, and today April 2nd, I go to delete it. I noticed that as of yesterday, April 1st, it has charged me $9.99. I am having to go through my Apple account to get my money back! Such a hassle for something that was suppose to be "free" for 30 days. Especially since only have downloaded it for a total of eight days. The app did state that I would be charged after the 3rd week of using it. But how was I suppose to know that it literally meant the actual day of the month, not the 3rd week of you downloading it. The app needs to state that you may want to download on the 1st of the month, so you can possibly get a few weeks free out of it....Version: 6.8.4
✓ Froze my entire phone if I wanted to play musicGreat app, too many technical issues. During my trial period, anytime I tried to play music, it froze the app and then shut down my phone. I contacted support, they said to uninstall the app and re download. I did it a few times and each time it didn't work. I tried it again with the update, I was probably about 25% through the workout (with the music finally working) when someone called me. The workout didn't pause even though the pause during calls was TURNED ON, then when I skipped back to where I was, and tried to press play for the music, it froze, shut down, then wouldn't come back on. I tried to delete and redownload it, but it wasn't loading. I had to turn off my phone, do a soft reset, and turn it back on. Basically every time the app stops working, I have to reboot my phone. And when I do that, it deletes my workout data. For the amount of money paid, you'd think there'd be a cloud associated with your account so that when there are technical difficulties, it doesn't delete all your progress. The work out programs are great, I prefer them to the couch potato to 5k, but it doesn't reliably work and I have never had the app work throughout the entire work out. I would love to buy the full version, but I am afraid it would be a huge waste of money since I can't get it to work for a full 40 minutes..Version: 6.5
✓ Ok motivatorApp glitches whether in wifi or data. Min/mi never calculates but bounces on and off during workout..Version: 6.13.3
✓ Needs WorkThis app is a nice concept in theory but execution is poor and intrusive. You won’t hear the cues from the coach to run/Walk etc. if your lock screen is up. I’m not sure if that’s Bc my phone is set to silent or what but other apps don’t struggle w this. So good luck keeping the app open while you run. It didn’t properly track distance- wasn’t trying to get totally accurate but it was pretty off. Also, the ads and prompts to subscribe for the “premium” service are just too much. You can barely tap a few things on the app without getting a prompt or ad each time. This is a workout app! You are likely in the zone each time a giant ad appears. And I would be fine paying for a helpful app but the $10 a month subscription model just yields 0 value IMO. What am I paying for that’s on par with Netflix or my streaming music service pricing? There just aren’t enough features to justify $10 a month! I have my own playlists and there are other apps that provide what you’re offering without a subscription. Developers: some of us would actually like to pay for your app but your payment models need work....Version: 6.9.1
✓ Stuck behind paywallI used to love this app. I got a new phone and reinstalled it to use it again and I don’t have any option except to sign up for a paid training plan where there was a free ad version in the past. Worse yet; I get random different (more expensive) pricing each time I try to see if I can avoid it. Really disappointing as if I’d gotten back into the habit I would have probably bought a subscription but I’ll go use a different app now 👎.Version: 6.9.24
✓ Ongoing chargesNote: this is a subscription based app and you will be charged over again every month although this is not mentioned anywhere. There is a lot of pressure to upgrade but it's not worth it. The capabilitis of the app are pretty limited..Version: 6.5
✓ Amazing Results but App Freezes on iPhone XApp is amazing, the fitness program allows me to lose 1kg a week in conjunction with a diet. Since upgrading to my new phone however the app freezes at a random points through the workout and then crashes, disrupting my workout and making it completely useless. Fully functioning app would be 5 stars!!.Version: 6.8.1
✓ Premium or lots of adsDownloaded this a while back and it was pretty cool Can’t give too much of a recent update as I’m going to try using it again. Just from reopening it, it keeps popping up the subscription options hence the lower stars. I’m trying to get the thing set up to use and the subscription box pops up with the x too high in the right corner to click and have to exit out and start over again (using an iPhone 12 Pro Max) Maybe I’ll update this review if I’m ever able to get it to work to try it out. The last time I used it, I had premium and you could play your music while running but it was muffled. It wasn’t worth the additional cost for me. Now that I’m going to get back into running again I figured I’d give it a try, but we’ll see considering I’m not able to get the run started.Version: 6.16
✓ Falsely advertisedI got advertisements for this in another app, the video was different to the function they advertised (which was the only reason I downloaded it). Also the interface is kinda confusing and if you accidentally click on workout it’s hard to exit/it counts as a workout. Wouldn’t bother downloading..Version: 6.9.26
✓ Free version basicPotentially very good but the free version features a the minimum of what you'd expect. Most of the advertised features require the premium version, which is promoted very heavily in the app..Version: 6.0.1
✓ New update keeps crashingFantastic app and have just finished the Running for Weight Loss Beginner Stage 1 programme (and in combination with a diet lost 10kg!). I was ao impresses that I upgrades to premium, but with this and a new update of the app, it now keeps crashing and has become entirely useless! Before this happened I also experiences issues with the music (it kept on one mix and it wasn’t clear how to add downloaded mixes to ‘my mixes’. Also my new choosen trainer was unavailable (even though I upgraded over 2 weeks ago!). Could do with a user guide! Help / FAQ did not help me! Now not sure how to fix the crashing app (have closed it / shut down and restarted phone), afraid to delete and reinstall as all my data will be lost and not sure it will remember my in-app purchase to premium member!.Version: 6.7
✓ Great app, watch app glitchyHave used this app for years and the program is excellent. Gradually increases running in a way you almost don’t notice. I’ve used the app with and without my phone and always had great luck. I haven’t used it for about a year and am getting back in but for some reason when using just my watch it is no longer giving me voice prompts. Previously it lowered the volume of my music to do this but now it doesn’t. Tried app support but they responded (very quickly as they always do!) to check my headphones. I informed them it wasn’t that as I could hear the music..Version: 6.36
✓ Not flexible in basic accountSeems nice at first, but if you were out of training for a bit, you can’t go back a few training sessions to get back into training easier. The app asks you after every training how you experienced training, but even if you choose that the training was too hard or you’re exhausted, the next training will be even harder... not really enjoying training that way, will use another app in the future.Version: 6.9.18
✓ Do not buyI bought this app years ago when it used to be a one time subscription. Then a few years later they charged me again. A Lot. Now I’ve changed phones and reinstalled app and it won’t let me reinstate my subscription and is asking me to pay for premium membership again. Can’t believe it. How many people have the ripped off?.Version: 6.10.6
✓ Very difficult to unsubscribeWould not recommend this. I wanted to have a look, you have to agree to pay before you can even see what’s involved. I had a look, it’s not for me, and Now I’m stuck with this in my subscriptions..Version: 6.9.29
✓ Not great for plant based or vegan diets or people with allergiesI love the idea of the app. I love the way it’s set up. I got the trail and wish it would have worked for me. But the meals didn’t work for me. I wish when you first input your information, eg. are you a beginner runner and how much do you weigh, they asked what kind of diet are you on or if you had any food allergies. And then the meals could be customized to meet your diet needs. Another thing I didn’t like was you couldn’t change the suggested meal. Or maybe I just couldn’t figure out how to do that. I wish it would give you a meal but also there could be a button to view other options Incase you don’t want to eat the suggested meal. I love the running part of the app. If this is ever fixed I would love to be informed because I would get the app..Version: 6.9.4
✓ They only care about moneyThey make the subscription section as complicated as possible so that even when you try to set it up so you don’t automatically pay the $60, you get charged anyway. I’ve contacted them multiple times to get this fixed and they act like it’s not their problem. They don’t care about customer care, they just want your money. They are hoping you don’t figure out how to change your settings so you get charged. It’s basically a scam..Version: 6.9.17
✓ Kinda works?I am half way through week 4 now- few issues with the app- why do I want to sign up for a year long program that is designed for 8 weeks? I just cannot justify $10 a month for music, meal plans and other trainer voices. There are wayyy too many adds. It asks me 10x a day to pay for the app- which again- I don’t see worth it. Another issue- when you read into the program it says to allow days in between workouts for rest and to prevent injuries- but the program is 3 times a week- so if you start Sunday, (rest 2) Wednesday, (rest 2) Saturday... then you have to start back again Sunday in order to get 3 workouts in again the following week- which isn’t a rest between Saturday and Sunday. If you did as directed, week 2 would only have 2 workouts (Tuesday and Friday), and then week 3 (Monday, Thursday) and then start the cycle back over again week 4. The app does not recognize rest days as intended. Also have issues with the app not recognizing miles on inside workouts..Version: 6.8.1
✓ Glad I didn’t buy itIf this app worked correctly it would be great! Unfortunately, it does not and in the most annoying way. Unless the app is open on your phone, the voice will not tell you when to change with “let’s walk!”, “let’s run!”, etc. If your phone goes to the lock screen, you are on your own. If you have time to keep opening your phone back up to check if it’s been 2 minutes, 1.5 minutes....you get the picture. I gave it two stars because it is great, if you have the time to keep reopening your phone while running. Update: Even when you use the lock screen on the app (as the developer suggested), if you minimize the app so that your phone lock screen comes on, the audio feedback will not alert you about when it is time to run, walk, etc. through music. I do not want to run my phone battery down keeping this app on the lock screen the entire time nor do I want to have to keep looking at my phone every couple of minutes. Changed my rating from 2 stars to 1 for this reason..Version: 6.9.10
✓ Had this app beforeI’ve used this app in 2016 and thought it was fantastic! It gradually helped me to run longer distances (I am not a runner!). I loved the encouragement that the voice was giving me while running as well as the daily goals. I didn’t need to lose weight, it was just to help me to release some excessive energy and gain a new skill. I decided to find this app again and was so excited when I downloaded it, only to find out that now I have to pay for a subscription?! For a second I thought that may be I got the wrong app. Then I read some reviews of people complaining that now they have to pay for a subscription even though previously they had this app for free. So I guess it is the right app, but not a free one any more. How sad...will be looking for a different one then. Best of luck to the team and I mean it! I really liked it back then....Version: 6.9.27
✓ Good app but not worth paying each week for itI’m going to cancel this subscription just before the first week ends. It’s always disappointing when you download a free app and then there’s a cost after 7 days. It’s more expensive than a gym membership at its minimum charge..Version: 6.25
✓ Lose the word “Quit”I actually really do like this app. But one thing that really bothers me, is the fact that when I am finished my workout and press stop I am asked “are you sure you want to QUIT?“ I’m not quitting, my workout is just finished. I really don’t like your use of the word “quit”. I wish you would change that..Version: 6.27.2
✓ No body typeIt was advertised on twitter that it tailors to your body type, it doesn’t. I’d also like a workout overview, to be able to see progress and the finish line as I go. A timeline..Version: 6.9.24
✓ Good appThe app itself I’m happy with and I’ve nearly finished my first running program. The problem is the app support which is pretty terrible. The support team don’t appear to be able to speak English and therefore are unable to be able to provide support! There are 3 different prices listed for the monthly app subscription and I’m being charged the highest one. When I contacted support to ask why, they were unable to answer and did not seem to understand my question!.Version: 6.7.2
✓ Good app but one issueI really like the weight loss plan and enjoy increasing my running intervals. The only annoying thing is that sometimes the trainer doesn’t speak when I get to the end of an interval. I have to keep pulling my phone out of my pocket the check how long I have left to run or walk in that section..Version: 6.17
✓ Not a free app - no idea how it worksThis is not a free app, you are unable to use or see how it works without signing up to a 7 day free trial but you must confirm payment info so if you don’t cancel you will be charged 9.99 a month thereafter. I hate it when apps advertise as free but then you can not access any features without handing over payment info. I would much prefer to access an app with limited features to get a feel then sign up to a free trial of a premium service. I also do not like the sneaky pricing structure, if you want a free trial you will then be locked in to paying 9.99 a month but if you blindly sign up for an annual membership without having any idea of what the app includes you only pay 2.50 a month. Gives me the impression that the app isn’t after a long term user base but profit. Not the app for me..Version: 6.10.1
✓ Paid for the app and it doesn’t workI downloaded and paid for this app today, filled in all my details and was eager to start but the app is frozen and won’t let me hit ‘start’ on day one. I tried exiting the app and turning my phone off but can’t get it to work. I’ve used this app before and loved it, I’m so disappointed..Version: 6.13.1
✓ A little awkwardThe app doesn’t let you move around with ease. Says it’s fit bit compatible but it not- it’s been documented as not working since 2018 no fix..Version: 6.12
✓ Charged me even though I cancelledHi I tried tried to cancel three times now, and it’s charged for for 6 months. Please help.Version: 6.9.17
✓ App keeps stallingLove this app, but it continues to keep freezing and won’t let me continue. I’ve had to delete and reinstall it twice, losing all previous data. Frustrating since iam paying for the premium membership.Version: 6.13
✓ Can’t do anything unless I payI first got the app with no desire to pay for any of the subscriptions; the basic free plan was enough for me as I just wanted something to get into better shape. I wasn’t too serious about my fitness. I did the first week, where when an ad popped up, I accidentally bought the free trial plan. I cancelled it and then, today when I went to get on the app, an ad popped up telling me to ‘keep running with my plan’. It gave me the options to buy the different plans but there was no way to get out of the screen. No X in the corner or anything. I’m not willing to pay for the premium, and it seems the app is forcing you to even though it didn’t do that before when I used it. Very frustrating, I really liked the program, but if it’s going to randomly force me to pay for a plan I don’t want then I’m not going to continue.Version: 6.12
✓ Unhappy userI have had this app for a number of years. Previously before verv took over. I’ve always been happy with the free version. Since getting a new phone I’ve reinstalled this app. It asked me to have a free trial of premium which I didn’t need. Once my free trial was over I presumed it would just let me continue using the free version. This is not the case. It constantly brings up the page, stick with it to achieve your running goals, your free trial has ended, but no big deal. Here’s a month premium for just 0.99. It then just sticks on this page and will not allow me to just use the free version. Which is ridiculous. This has really interrupted my workouts and now I’m going to have to find a new app, when I’ve been happy with the free version of this one for years. I hoped on the “get this deal” page there was be a x you could press to just go back to the free version. However there is not. You have to either buy premium, which doesn’t suit me, as I don’t care for the meal plans or the different voice coaches. Looks like I’ll have to delete this app now and look for an alternative. Extremely disappointing. You shouldn’t be forced to buy premium when there is a free version. My husband is using the free version just fine. He hasn’t yet had this problem. I think I have after having to re download this app. I’ve also tried deleting from my phone altogether and reinstalling but it still takes me to this page and I can’t get off of it. I’m so Fed up!!!.Version: 6.9.8
✓ Could be better!!I’ve liked this app and it’s interesting and never boring mix of them run-walk intervals. Still using a free version. But then tonight in the middle of my Day 1 W3 run I lost the coach sound that was giving me clues as to what to expect next. I had to keep looking at my iPhone screen to make sure I do not miss or follow incorrectly the remaining intervals. And I did not want to stop and try to fix it myself. Also it would be very nice to be able to see all upcoming intervals and what to expect for the remainder of the running time (before the cool-down) on the screen - other running apps do offer that feature. So all in all, this is an OK app with a potential to be much better. And please do not push annoying adds in the middle of the run..Version: 6.9.5
✓ My app stopped workingMy app didn’t work today when I got to the gym.Version: 6.10.6
✓ App is a good tool/ needs some updatingThis app has been helpful for getting back into running with (weight loss). Cons- I am 10 weeks in and really haven’t lost but a few pounds (my clothes do fit better). The meals are not realistic and do not have a calorie goal target, so it is just completely useless. The GPS signal loses tracking every minute (literally) where I live, so running music and coaching is interrupted constantly. The water tracking won’t let me hit 128 ounces (1 gallon) which is a standard tracking amount, so I stopped using it as well. Pros- seeing my run first helps me prepare for it and the cues are on point. The music options are pretty good and the sprint have definitely improved my pace. The watch app is great for treadmill runs (it just needs to add a link for water 💧 protection. You can’t have both turned on and be able to see your run). The team is responsive and helpful with questions. Overall, I’m still using it until someone does it better or they iron out the kinks..Version: 6.17
✓ Could be betterThe meal plans do not include nutritional facts. I found a music mix that I love but have not had luck finding others that I also really like so I have music variety. It would be awesome if it prompted you for “others who liked this mix, also listen to this one”. The music mixes are longer than the workout time so I never get to hear the second half. Would be cool if it was broken up into segment so I can switch between the first half of mix and second half on alternating days. The app does not recognize that I haven’t worked out for a few days or a week i.e. vacation, so it throws you right into an intense workout instead of scale back/ ease you back into the program. The Premium Club tab never had any content which is annoying because I pay for the app. I will probably cancel after my 6 months and start looking for other options..Version: 6.9.18
✓ Don’t pay!This app is has some issues. If you use a smart watch to run the app, you cant hear the audio queue very well, and, if you use head phones for music, the watch app will not play audio queue over the music on your headphones, it will however if you play the on your phone. If you prefer treadmill running the app doesn’t calc running distance, surely easily done while running with a smart watch or a phone. While on treadmill running, it takes the app audio queue so long to spit out if you are to run walk or sprint, you can miss sprint because they may only be for 15 seconds, so by time you hear what you need to do, you have 10 seconds to change the speed of the treadmill and do so.. good luck. One more suggestion, show on the screen on the phone/ watch, what’s coming up next. I accidentally paid for this app, my wife uses the free version, it’s the same. I geeked ripped off..Version: 6.9.8
✓ Pay wallUsed to love this app, happy you guys have sale prices but it’s a real pain not being able to get past the pay wall to keep running. Is this a glitch? Or do you only offer a paid version?.Version: 6.9.12
✓ Needs some workHello so I’m a subscriber to this app… and for the most part I really enjoy your playlist and overall it’s an ok app, but if I might suggest some ideas to help improve it. For example i don’t know if it’s the area or my phone or what but the gps is terrible on it … it keeps saying gps found then like 2 minutes later gps not found or whatever it says and it’s really distracting and if it’s off (which I made sure everything was on and connected) it won’t track my heart rate or any of my stats. Also the whole thing is not very user friendly it’s a bit confusing for someone like me that isn’t to tech savvy. The positives are the music playlists I really enjoy them, and the meal plans are great and not to hard to make. I wish there was an easier way to be able to track my water intake I feel it’s tough to get into that screen all to log a bit of water… but over all I feel these are just some pointers. I really enjoy this app over all and will continue to suscribe I just hope those issues get fixed or worked on a bit. Thank you!.Version: 6.17.3
✓ Only works with expensive subscription.App needs to be upfront about the expensive subscription. It’s not mentioned in the information in the App Store or until you have put all your details in. If you can’t use it without paying $60 upfront you should say so..Version: 6.9.7
✓ Bait and SwitchDon’t bother. This App costs $15/month. It is not free as is implied because the only option once installed is to purchase the subscription. Delete!.Version: 6.9.26
✓ Sad there’s no free version anymoreI used to use this app and it’s the only one i ever saw results in but i came back after a few years to find out it’s mandatory to get premium, and they don’t tell you until you go through all the questions..Version: 6.32
✓ In app pushHey there. I think you have a really great concept here. I’d like to piggy back onto what a few other people have mentioned. The premium full screen take over is a bit much. I couldn’t even test this app out once without accidentally pushing it. This is going to get you a high abandonment rate. Not enough value for all the hassle. Let the app speak for itself. There are more subtle ways to show value and upgrade options. Remind them once in a while in a unique and fun way. Like helpful hints from a trainer or a new recipe once and a whole teaser content - for mvp make it random. Long term tailor this kind of value to the account holder. Place the up-sell within these examples. You’ve put a lot of work into this product and the design is beautiful. Work on the marketing and make it more thoughtful..Version: 6.9.3
✓ Data no longer accurateI’ve used this app for months and enjoyed the run training and now doing free runs and walks since recovery. But the distance is not accurate. I was trying to do a 10k this weekend and stopped the run at 6.2 miles. I was doing this with my boyfriend who’s tracker said we had done .25 miles more than Verv did. So I kept going to get to 6.2. Now when I look at the run log is says I did 7.02. This is totally useless data to me if I can’t rely on it. This has happened for a few weeks and I’ve reported it but nothing but “you can go in and edit it” which defeats the purpose and I don’t KNOW how far I am going. I will give it a few more weeks but if it doesn’t stop will cancel before monthly payment. I’m not paying $15 a month for inaccurate data..Version: 6.10.4
✓ Why pay?First. What the ad videos showed, and what I got were very different. This was no better and if not worse then most the free running apps. Not happy. Should really report for false advertising.Version: 6.10.1
✓ I Guess I’m stuck with itI had accidentally purchased the YEAR subscription a few days ago by accidently clicking on the add that popped up, it took me straight to purchase the year subscription and as I was trying to click out of the whole app on my home button, my finger I.D. had submitted it. I love the interval running and the coaching but I’m dissatisfied with how the Apple Watch doesn’t mirror the app on the phone like other fitness apps do. I have to look at my watch and figure out an estimated time remaining of every interval. I tried to start the workout on my phone and watch at the same time so I could keep track that way but it ended up screwing up and crashing mid run. It also double records my runs to which I have to delete manually. Just a lot of manual work for a $50 app. So far I accident paid $50 to get the benefits of different coach voices and meal plan recipes... kinda a huge ripoff especially since the app doesn’t work well with the Apple Watch..Version: 6.9.1
✓ Worked well until it didn’tI really liked this app. I used the free version two years ago to get into shape and tried using it again recently. My problem was that there were so many ads for Premium that I accidentally tapped one and my Touch ID purchased it. Luckily, I was able to end the free trial but once I tried to get back on it would send me an ad with no way to cancel it. I can’t access the running program and it it’s super annoying. I tried deleting the app a few times which didn’t work and always had the inescapable ad. I also contacted customer service but they never got back to me. So... I switched to a different app that’s not quite as good when it comes to the program but it does let me run so it’s an improvement..Version: 6.10.1
✓ Not a fanThe ad and details seemed so good, I like the “workouts” but there’s no goal setting nor does it actually tell you what your workout plan is..Version: 6.10
✓ AdsOnly got the free version but so many ads..Version: 4.1
✓ DisappointedI started using this app few months ago and I was really happy with it. It taught me how to run properly and managed to run 5k in 30 minutes ( I used to be a swimmer and never been good at running). All of a sudden, it stopped working on my Apple Watch. I tried to re-Install it but force to buy the premium subscription which I don’t really need. Long story short: I removed the app. Very disappointed..Version: 6.9.18
✓ Great trading app shame about the bugs since verv took overI have used this app for a few years. I love the training and it’s based on good running ethics. The problem is that since Verv took over there seem to be various bugs. If you contact customer service there’s little or no response and generally unhelpful. It doesn’t sync data with some of the suggested partner apps, again little or no help there. So I would recommend it for the training side up to 10k but not for the other aspects. If Verv can fix its bug problems then I would give it 5 stars, and that is how I felt about the app in the past..Version: 6.9.24
✓ Used to be goodThe last version was great. Unfortunately the new version tries to be too intuitive. You get notifications 5 times a day telling you to drink water (even on your off days). Also the workouts are based on a calendar rather than having a list of the workouts (as in the old version), so if you haven't run for a few days it's very hard to find the right workout to repeat. Rather your workout will be even more demanding than your last- progression is great but sometimes you need to be in control of the rate of progress. Rollback to last version! It was great..Version: 6.0.1
✓ GlitchyI find that this app had everything I needed but during my workout this morning it kept pausing and shutting down and I feel that that interrupts the flow of my workout because I kept having to pull the app out of my pocket to reset and start my workout. I was really excited about getting the subscription. Hopefully this is an issue that can be fixed..Version: 6.12
✓ Great at firstThis could be a great app with 5 stars but I keep getting sent back to week 2. It keeps resetting. I’ve sent multiple requests for help but no response. I do love the app except for that. I may look elsewhere for a new app if I can’t get a response. But all that be said I do like the runs. It makes it easy to run and build up speed. I find myself going for a run even if I don’t feel like it. I just hate getting up to week 4, after 3 months because the app keeps resetting itself, and then I’m back on week 2 day 1 and I’m not able to change it. Oh well, off to find a new run app. Too bad! If you can get the weeks to progress without resetting then you would love this app!.Version: 6.24.1
✓ Warning GeoFenceApp uses GeoFence. Don't use if you value your privacy..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Lots of issues.I had Premium- worked great 1st year, after renewal the music was gone, when I removed & reinstalled due to multiple problems, I have not been able to restore purchase as it can not connect to server. Have requested a refund. Disappointed as I liked it last year when I got the app..Version: 6.26.1
✓ PaymentWhere is the month to month payment option?.Version: 6.31
✓ Waste of TimeYou lose all credibility when you say hey download app for free, then we go through all your questions and then before we ever get to use your app, you ask for money? These tactics don’t work anymore. Less trickery and more value will get you a larger user base. If your app is good, people will want to pay for more features..Version: 6.27.2
✓ Trying to cancelMuch to my discussed. After spending $60 on an app I didn’t use. A year later they charged my card again. No where did I agree to an on going subscription and I couldn’t find it on my phone anywhere. It has taken me month to find it and now I can see any link to unsubscribe or request a refund on the amount taken for the second year. I would like a reply please and a refund..Version: 6.9.4
✓ Be careful with the fees!Downloaded this app a few days ago and now, checking my bank account, just found that they took 80+$! I didn’t allow to pay that when I downloaded, this is so disrespectful with the costumer! You guys should advise properly before that..Version: 6.9
✓ New subscription requirementI got this app years ago and when I switched phones it does not honour my premium membership which I paid for. After updating now the app requires a subscription membership which is ongoing payments. Very upset..Version: 6.10.2
✓ Great app if it wasn’t designed for North American marketGreat app if it wasn’t designed for North American market. I love the app I think it’s one of the best I’ve used however the reason it only gets 2 stars is because it doesn’t allow for metric measurements. I come from one of the many countries which use metric. I find it very frustrating to have to convert it in another app before entering it into this app. And for that reason I will stop using it..Version: 6.8.4
✓ Huge Thumbs Down - App won’t even load!Terrible!! App won’t even load - crashes within less than a second. Unable to cancel the free trial which leads into monthly payment plan! I’ve had to resort to contacting Apple to rid this thing from my phone - Do not waste your time!.Version: 6.9.28
✓ Stay awayI downloaded this to try out the free 7 day trial then 5 minutes later after downloading the app my subscriptions on my iPhone showed I was signed up for a year. I want my money back. This is ridiculous..Version: 6.10.1
✓ DisappointingMusic is great but stops / pauses every time a notification comes through on my phone. When you finish your workout, loads of things pop up wanting you to share your workout When you have finished your workout, it’s difficult to find a way to stop the music The meal plan is very low calorie and unrealistic. The motivational cues are cheesy. I selected an intermediate run programme but it is still aimed at beginners with easy ratios of run/walk. Don’t waste your money like I did! I use it just for the music mixes and to keep my brain busy with the run/walk cues!.Version: 6.9.30
✓ Good features when they workI'm excited about the features there are available, but I have found that they only work half the time. Even after having reloaded the app I am still having trouble accessing some of the spots you should be able to choose options. I know you can choose them, because they worked at least once for me..Version: 6.12
✓ Not what I thought it would beWishing I would have tried it before buying the premium. This isn’t going to work for me because I don’t run for more than 20-30 minutes due to joint issues. I wanted something that would mimic the coaching at Orangetheory but the only “classes” that are 30 minutes are in either the 5K training or the “start running” programs. There’s way too much walking in the beginner classes and not enough interval running in the 5K classes. The intervals in the longer (intermediate and advanced) classes aren’t great either. I like to keep my jogging at one-two minute intervals and longer (2-3 minute) intervals at “80%”, with the only walking recovery being done after running at “100%”. If you’re looking for something to mimic OTF like I was, this isn’t the app for you. I guess I will just be using it for only the music feature, during a “free run” so I can set my own timeframe and intervals. :-/.Version: 6.9.8
✓ OkUnable to choose my own music. Otherwise happy..Version: 5.2.2
✓ Get rid of the constant pop ups and it’s a good app.I really think this app is well designed and has a good premise, but man, every time I click on something, it’s a pop up to upgrade, a pop up to download another of their apps, a pop up to upgrade, and a pop up to upgrade. Is annoying me enough to go premium? Almost, but not enough to make me give it a good review. Edit based on response from app owner: after receiving what appears to be a generic response (I’ve read some of the other reviews and the response is almost word-for-word) from the app owner about ‘enjoying the app for free’, that is the problem. How can you ‘enjoy’ a free app that bombards you with pop ups every time you click on a different option? It’s a terrible user experience..Version: 6.8.1
✓ But it says 4 plusI’m pretty disappointed that on the App Store it says 4 plus but when you go on the app you need to be over 16.Version: 6.9.16
✓ App with issuesI enjoy this app, however it does have its issues. I only gave the basic plan and it’s not the constant ad pop ups for their paid plans that annoys me. It’s the connectivity issues I am having with the app not being able to sync up with my fitbit. It’s the fact that when I accidentally pressed restart running plan, all of my previous gains/trophies were erased, even though I have created an account and was signed in. It’s the fact that I contacted technical support about it and nothing was done. It’s that I had to run the time again, just to get all my hard worked for achievements back. It’s also that it doesn’t keep track of your mileage or accurate calorie burn if you run indoors, which running outdoors is not for everyone. That’s what annoys me about this app. I do appreciate the app in that it keeps me motivated to run and the water reminders. If they fixed all the issues this app has, then it’d be just about perfect..Version: 6.8.4
✓ AppGreat app for interval training cannot get heart beat measured while wearing a chest strap.Version: 6.9.30
✓ Music failureI am not a runner but really enjoyed the mixed run/walk training session and helpful hints from the trainer. This along with constant prompts of distance/time and calories burned were great motivators. Unfortunately the music cut out 1 Min into the exercise as I ran away from my house and only started again at the end of the exercise as I ran back towards my house. I can only assume that it was reliant on the WiFi which unfortunately I will not have whilst out on the run. Such a shame as a really good idea for an app. Luckily I could use my phones music..Version: 6.9.4
✓ VioletUsed to love this app then about 2 years ago stopped working with Apple Watch - now have graded watch and phone, paid premium access and watch and phone don’t sync activity, can get past week 1 day1 on watch and music doesn’t allow for cue to be heard ... disappointing that the same complain as mine was made 2018 and still not resolved.Version: 6.9.30
✓ Doesn’t work with Apple WatchMy iPhone 12 Pro Max is too heavy to carry while running so I only carry my Apple Watch series 6 with mobile data. This app doesn’t work with Apple Watch. Honestly for $24/month (AUD), it’s a complete disgrace that this function is not included..Version: 6.17.3
