This was so much fun, though the story finale was inconsistent with the early part of the story. I've been using Zombies, Run! since 2015 so the idea that this is just after arriving in the township is excellent. I thought the drills were a bit odd but they do work as they definitely helped me get through my 5k after not running in several years. Highly recommend. Best part, you only have to do it 3 days a week unlike other 5k training apps/programs. Must scroll to reach next workout though.

FREE... for the first 3 weeks, then a montly subscription. I just want to use this app to run. Why DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE A SUBSCRIPTION?! Seriously, just make it cost a few dollars (which it looks the older version WAS) instead of charging a subscripton for an 8 week app. I had used the older one when it was given away for free on Humble Bundle (which is no longer availible for me to download) so i liked the app, but now it is little more than a free trial. I will look for another app.

I bought this app years ago and wanted to restart it, I'm at week 4 and it is behind a pay wall. The 'restore purchase' button doesn't do anything either. I had a legacy membership for the main app after they started monthly and then took away the races, guess they screwed us here too. Loved the app, bought the seasons back in the day, but can't even use the things I bought anymore without paying even more money. The subscription is way too expensive, not worth it any more
