2024-10-29	Camille Van Damme	the training itself is good but the app doesn't work at all. maybe it doesn't ask enough permissions. when I lock my phone the km's don't go up. samsung s24 ultra
2023-02-13	Judith Holloway	Can't fault this app, it's perfect for my needs, after a long break over winter, I'm going to be restarting the training again
2022-08-23	Alicia C	Love the programmes and prompts. My only issue is I get told at least once on each run (in beginner 5k one) that I have finished the run part way through it. Have learnt to ignore it but would be good if could be fixed.
2022-03-18	Bruno Keymolen	I almost completed the training sessions, my last week starts with the next run, and I love the app. Would never have started running without. There is one remark, it failed twice on me and twice because of the GPS. * Once my phone was accidentally in power save mode and that makes the GPS updates unreliable. * Once the app started, the intro was given and the 'start now' but after that it stopped in the Init and never started counting. I checked after 12 minuted or so because I did not hear feedback. Restarting the app did not work, it kept searching for GPS. A phone restart helped. So, question; can some audio feedback be given when the app discovers GPS issues since when running the screen is not checked.
2021-12-25	Kimberlee	Fantastic app (even for those users in th US). Easy to use, motivating, and very interactive! Loïc, you were a great coach! 🖤
2021-12-22	Carly Bozdoğan	This is a good app and very motivational. The reason it isn't 5 stars are that I'd prefer a 5 minute warm up and cool down included in the training programme and sometimes it glitches and tells me I'm finished half way through a run.
2021-09-19	Susan Thurrold	Deleted this app as it was totally inaccurate with the distance. At least half a mile or more out from Garmin. Therefore rendering it useless. The rest of it was great just inaccurate. Which is no good when you are training for a marathon.
2021-02-18	Nathalie Vander Linden	Some sessions have bugs which is very annoying. They don't follow the schedule so you don't know what you are doing. When I want to quit the app when it's bugging the app keeps running in the background en sometimes Starts again so two sessions are playing. It's frustrating because this way I lose a good training session.
2021-02-17	Bart & Leen Boute-De Bel	Where is the music IN the app?? What I really liked about the original podcasts was the good music mix, up-tempo when running, down-tempo when walking. Did I actually pay 10 € to hear Evy say when to start, pauze and stop? There are some Spotify playlists in the app. This suggest that you HAVE a Spotify account. In that case you can stream the music (heavy data-usage) or download the playlist (diskspace). Or use your own music on Spotify or other. In none of the cases the music is synchronised with the running scheme. Very disappointing.
2020-08-05	Annika Fagerstrom	Over all quite a good app while running outside but running on a treadmill no good. Jennie also says there are tips to prevent injury and food suggestions in the app. Where are those i cant find them?
