"As an app designed for beginners I find it strange that from day 1 there is so much running included. I would have preferred one or two running sessions and the rest walking, do that for a week and then add another run session. It was just too much for me as a beginner, and I`ve lost all motivation after mot being able to fully complete day 1. As mentioned in other reviews, the GPS also didn`t work."

"Edit: the solution was to change the power settings for the app on my phone! I just had my first run with the app, and it worked perfectly until the very end. I`m assume the trainer is supposed to say that the workout is finished, but she never did, and when I went to check the app it had closed itself and no data was saved from the run."

"App is well built and very intuitive. I am over weight, but not by a lot, and I felt this program was too much. My shins and feet would hurt during the work out and that was even with expensive running shoes. Maybe not from the couch, but it was very instructive for a beginner."

"I love this app but why doesn`t it support linking to apps like Google Fit when so many of your rivals offer that option and other apps like Samsung Health"

"App crashes a lot and when it does the progress of that particular run is wiped, which is extremely frustrating."

"Been using this app for years without issue, but since changing to new phone (s22 ultra) it is too buggy to use. It either freezes mid-run or walk and has to be restarted and skipped to where you were, to then freeze again, or just closes during the warm-up. Disappointing as apart from that I think it`s the best couch to 5k app (I`ve tried a few) as it is easy to use and doesn`t keep talking to you all the time like the NHS one or others do."

"Good program but the app often crashes mid run! It usually doesnt crash if I have my screen open and my phone in my hand the whole run, but it is really annoying - especially now that I`ve cone pretty far in the program!"

"I keep trying this app but it isn`t reliable. At random times it doesn`t talk or it tells me to walk when the screen says jog. Today on week 5 it was telling me to walk and jog for 1 minute intervals. Clearly week1 not 5."

Praise
``The popular Couch to 5K app helps new runners avoid injury from doing too much, too soon.``
—Runners World, June 2012

``It`s ridiculously easy to use (it`s hard not to, as you just do what you`re told) and it`s fantastic that you have an encouraging voice talking you through things.``
—Engadget, June 2012

``Active.com’s Couch to 5K is one of my favorite… apps. With its customizable features, interactivity, and well-rounded interface, I may actually stay off the couch this time.``
—148Apps, October 2011

``I knew as soon as I decided to start the Couch to 5K program that I would need something to keep me accountable—not just to showing up for my training, but to actually doing it properly. Of course there’s an app for that.``
—CalorieLab, April 2012

``If you have been struggling to get your buns off the couch and somewhat in shape before the summer hits, training for a 5K is not a bad way to start. If you are looking for a program to help get you there, then the “Couch to 5K” running plan by CoolRunning is probably your best bet if you haven’t done an ounce of athletic activity for a number of years.``
—Droid Life, April 2012
