C25K® 5K Trainer Pro App Reviews

My wife is a swimmer, doesnt like running. Now that its too cold to swim, this is a real lifesaver. Much nicer to have C25K encouraging us on than to have me do it. It sets a nice doable pace. Even better, it keeps the peace! Well hit 5K at about Thanksgiving.

I like how this challenges me the intervals really help. Wish there was a walk version to help you prepare for week one when you cant run. Day 1 took me 7 tries but thats done and I am on to week 2 now

Im a former athlete and love lifting & HIIT but realized I didnt have the cardio longevity to run with my 10 year old! My SIL convinced me to try this app and it has made my nemesis of running totally manageable and almost a friend :) Very highly recommend!!

Thanks

I started using this app 5 weeks ago and stuggled to run for even a full minute at a time without a rest. I just finished running 20 minutes without stopping and couldnt feel better. I would recommend this app for anyone who wants to get off the couch and get healthy.

Was just doing a routine and went to check remaining time after about 15-20 minutes and the app reset back to the warmup and erased progress. I hit "end workout" and it warned me all progress would be lost...a little late for that eh?

It really does work. I just have yet to complete it and have restarted many times. But that is most likely on me, and not the app.

I have the Series 2 watch & if you are buying this app for its watch functionality, dont. The watch only mirrors the app and all starts and stops have to use the phone. So basically defeats the purpose. I wanted to leave my phone at home but if I want to use this app on the watch I cannot.

I paid for the app for the watch version. I wanted the watch app in the event that I wouldnt have my phone on me. You cant start a run on the watch app. You have to start it on the phone. It cant run independently AT ALL. When it does run, it doesnt stay synced for more than 3 minutes. What a major letdown. Wish I could get my money back!

Excellent app. Well worth the price.

Love how music syncs to your running plan. Would totally recommend to anyone.

Happy I downloaded this app at first I was struggling to finish half of the first week now Im in week 7 and doing it great! This app has paced me to enjoy going out for a run now and I would recommend this to anyone who is wanting to try running.

This app worked great until it stopped tracking my distances at week 6. Location services are on and it shows that the app is using it, but it shows 0.0 miles after a run, which makes this useless for training for a distance based race. Ive tried emailing the company through the apps Feedback option, but havent received any responses.

I shouldnt have to read all of the reviews in order to find out that this app does not work on Apple Watch without the phone being with you. Seriously, whats the point of a running app forthe Apple Watch if I have to carry the phone with me anyway? This information should at least be prominantly presented to the customer. Total waste of money.

The app is easy to use. self explanatory interface. Great way start working out again after a break. One suggestion for improvement would be to increase the font size. It is difficult to read when still but especially during workout. I guess that means I am getting older.

I used a C25K app about 10 years ago to do my 1st 5k. I hadnt run for 30 years & was overweight. It really was couch to 5k! I did it! Now its time to do it again! Started this morning.

As a training tool, I give the app 5 stars. However, there seems to be some glitch of connection with my Apple Watch series 2, and sometimes it forgets to let me know when to swap from walk to run. Hopefully itll be fixed soon.

This app has been incredible and life-changing—about halfway to 5k now and I never thought I could have the stamina for this amount of high-impact exercise. There re a few quirks though! - tabbing away to another app and then tabbing back to C25K will jump your progress back to wherever you left it—although it works fine if youre using another app, theres not really a way to check your progress and youre beholden to the notifications for all your info. - Apple Watch sync with the phone is pretty far off. Havent found a reason to use the watch app given that. - hard to look ahead at what is coming the next week I dont want to give this less than 4 because the program is great, just a few things keep it from being perfect!

Its great for those who want to get into running. Push yourself and youll see results.

Cant get better then this. Awesome!! Keeps you motivated.
