C25K® 5K Trainer Pro App Reviews

Nice having a "trainer" coach me through the run.

I am not a runner. This is doable. Thx C25K!

I am almost 50 and have neglected the do any athletic activity for almost 10 years. Now Im over weight and have high blood pressure. Well Im sick of that person. I have entered a 5k in February, as part of my new fitness routine, and I use this app every time I train for the race. Im on week 6 and this app has helped me reach my first goal. Im averaging a 9.5 min mile and feeling like I will move up to the 1/2 in 6 months. Ive paired this with Rock My Run and its a huge help with that trancelike rhythm.

Great app to get you started. Helps with motivation and goal setting.

This is my first day with this app and a new indoor runner. Worked good, looking forward to a new healthier lifestyle. Motivated!!

This is pointless for the Apple Watch. All it does is show you what is on the phone screen, AND it only works on the Watch of the phone is with you and has the app on. Whats the point!?? It doesnt even alert you to walk or run unless you look at it. I was hoping it would buzz or something.

I have actively avoided running my entire life. Im not sporty and never aspired to be. A friend, who like me despised running, was told by her doctor to take up some cardio workout. She dragged me along the ride and we jokingly downloaded this. Lo and behold 10 weeks later we are easily running 5k every other day at under 30min. Us, 2 former lib arts majors who always stayed on the spectator side of sports are running for the first time in our lives well after hitting 40. Unbelievable. I totally recommend this to any couch potato.

This app is the best way to get into running. It eases you into running in a safe and efficient way. Most people who attempt to get into running quit because they overdo it too fast and get hurt. I recommend this to everyone I talk to!!! I love this app!!!!!

I really like it...my only complaint...I tried the free trial version and it displayed what interval was coming up next (what it would be and how much time youd do it). When I bought the full version, it doesnt have that in the display. It only shows time youve worked, the current interval countdown, and time left. Other than that, Im really happy. I love that I can listen to my own music and that all the thinking is done for me. After a full day with work and kids, its nice to just have someone else tell me what to do. ;)

Great app to get you going. Reasonable way to build up your mileage.

Awesome!

This app does not stop begin getting you to write a review. So dont buy this app use the free ones instead!

This is a great app. I havent been able to run for about a year due to an injury but this app has helped me ease into it again. I was very surprised. I just have 2 complaints or else I would give it 5 stars. #1 is that the timer is off. I have checked the time that this app tracks with several other stop watches and it is always about 10-30 seconds behind. Very weird. #2 is that this app says it partners with My Fitness Pal for "seamless integration." I have not been able to sync this app with My Fitness Pal to save my life!!! Very frustrating. Otherwise its a great app

There are a lot of great things about this app, but unfortunately it seems to be buggy on my iTouch (2nd Gen, OS 4.2.1). The voice prompts stop working at a random point in the routine and refuse to start again. And the playlist feature is erratic, switching to songs that arent in the playlist but are in the rest of my music collection. Im sure any bugs will be worked out and I can be patient. I sure hope everything gets ironed out because its a great app otherwise - beautifully designed, nice and simple, and you can even help support breast cancer research by purchasing it!

This app is great, it really delivers. I went from couch to seriously enjoying running because the pace was so doable that I felt proud of what I accomplish and I am motivated to keep it up. Already purchased the other apps and plan to continue this!!

I like the app, find it works well and I like how I can listen to my own music. Dislikes: 1) pop up screen every time you start the app. I dont want to give you my email address, I bought the app stop bothering me 2) upgrading from free version to paid does not bring the data over. Had I known about these 2 things I wouldnt have bought the app, I would have kept using the free version.

Its a great simple ap. its easy to understand and I like being able to listen to my own music. The issues I dont like is I bought the "pro" ap thinking Id get extra features for my $$, but I dont. I dont like the start up screen always asking for my email address each time, you already have it. It has an issue with the music player jumping to random songs in my playlist. Its fixable with some back and forth between iTunes, but annoying when u just want to get out there and run.

Perfectly perfect in every way

Great way to start running again.

Im on week six, love it!! Working great for me, i like the simplicity of it. Someone telling me what to do "for some reason" makes it easy, to do just that little bit more every day.
