About the rating
storeAvg 4.77 with textAvg 4.39 and pct5 78 is a small gap. Many specific success stories ("became a marathoner", "returned after childbirth"). Criticism is also specific and product-focused.
Strengths
What users love
- The run/walk interval system with weekly progression builds endurance gradually without injury. Voice switch cues go straight to your earbuds without pulling you off the screen.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Distance and steps on a treadmill are not counted correctly
- GPS-only on outdoor runs. The Apple Watch version forces a choice: either phone control or better watch data
- Not both at the same time.
Who it is for
Absolute beginners who want to reach 5K in 8 weeks without getting injured.
