Just Run: Zero to 5K (+10K)
authentic ratingA simple, functional C25K guide with no subscription. The program progresses predictably, but the load jump between weeks 3-4 and at week 7 is too steep. The timer breaks when the app goes to the background.

About the rating
Specific details: switching to Spotify breaks the timer, concrete program weeks with uneven load jumps, the absence of Apple Watch support is mentioned by several independent voices.
Strengths
What users love
- The walk/run interval structure is built so that absolute beginners actually reach 5K. A mid-route turnaround reminder is built right into the app. One-time purchase instead of a subscription.
Weak spots
What users hate
- The timer loses sync when switching to Spotify. Load jumps 7 minutes at week 4 with no intermediate step. No Apple Watch: you have to run with your phone.
Who it is for
