An editorial reading of the saved reviews
The core idea is right: C25K directly on Apple Watch with no phone needed. But audio cues do not work with AirPods via the phone, haptics are too weak, and the timer sometimes freezes. The program itself is solid.

What users experience
1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
I got no audio cues when using. Not sure if this is because I use Spotify, but other apps like Couch to 5k do cue over Spotify.
