| 2024-11-06 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-09-30 |  | | 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. |
| 2023-06-29 |  | | 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 |
| 2022-11-25 |  | | I enoy this app but it has some issues. There's a TON of content padding. There are 10-20 min 'freeform' runs for each workout where you decide yourself when/if/how much to run. Useful at the end of the program but lazy at the very start. Also random mins of stretches are thrown in that you wouldnt do in the mid of a run. Should be much more walk/run drills instead. Speaking of that, Max talks so much during the drills. For a 1 min run drill she gives time updates literally every 15 seconds! |
| 2022-07-23 |  | | It's a great idea, but there are little glitches. It doesn't track distance well (for example, I measured my distance on google maps at ~3 miles, the app said I'd traveled a little less than 2, which is an enormous disparity when you're trying to track your 5k progress). It also gets really glitchy if you've used the pause function during a run, so all your stats will be wrong for that run, even after you resume. All that said, it's a fun app if you've got access to a treadmill. |
| 2022-06-02 |  | | The app is decent and the content is great. However, the way they handle monetization is just not consumer-friendly! I wish there were a one time payment option. I believe there's some ongoing benefits that might warrant a subscription plan, but it really just feels like an attempt to nickel and dime you. As far as the app goes, my nitpick is that you have to scroll to the mission you stopped at every time, instead of it taking you there automatically. |
| 2021-07-22 |  | | Ran great on my Pixel 5. However, gatekeeping at week 4. At no point does the app tell you that you're going to have to sign up for the monthly/yearly subscription until then. The app, somewhere and preferably when setting everything up, should note you have several free weeks to give it a run, and if you want to keep going, it's going to require the subscription. |
| 2021-05-06 |  | | Like others have mentioned it's very misleading that this app is Free only to find out if you want the last 5 weeks of training you have to buy a monthly or yearly subscription. You don't find this out till you click on Week 4. I was enjoying the run drills and it was helping my running. Very bummed that there is no way to just outright purchase the last 5 weeks, and the subscription cost is a little too rich for my blood. |
| 2021-04-28 |  | | this is one of the few 5K training apps that I've seen that starts slow enough for me and is allowing me to feel success. granted I'm only finishing week one but that was more than I could do with another that I tried and others that I saw. I like that I can swap in the non jogging days for days where I can use the walk because it's included in the price if you pay the subscription. and I'm enjoying the storyline enough that I don't mind paying for what amounts to light entertainment as I go. |
| 2020-09-05 |  | | I hate running. But, the story was really engaging and motivated me to actually finish all 8 weeks! I'm still walking and jogging more than running, but it's a start. One thing I noticed is that after you complete Week 8, Run 3 it doesn't show as Completed on your dashboard or the meter thing to track progress. It's fortunately in the run logs (or else I would have been really upset! That was my fastest run by far!) |
