1. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Keeps Crashing. Loved to use this app before, but now all it does is crash, and that’s if I can even get it to load in the first place. Please fix this.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   ???. Wouldn't even let me sign in. I tried to create an account and it said wrong email and password? Even though i was making one on the sign up page?

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Can’t log in. I typed in my email and it won’t let me create an account. It won’t tell me what I’m doing wrong. I can’t use the app. It’s useless. Don’t bother.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Keeps Crashin. The app keeps crashing when I’m almost at the end. It even happens when it’s the only app open at times. My phone is updated and I have plenty of storage. I don’t even think I want to try Zombie Run at this point.

5. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Crashes. I was ready to love it, but it crashed twice during the intro mission. You can't get back to the place you were at before the crash; you have to start from scratch. Doing that twice was enough for me!

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Don’t bother. Before you start if you don’t have location turned on it won’t start… even if you turn location on several times?? It is forever on the “you didn’t enable location” screen

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Sign up problem. It won’t let me sign up. Why

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Cannot reach support. Trying to use Zombie 5K training as I purchased Abel Running for 1 year. But I’m unable to get a zombies and or whatever login ID. I can’t send a support message without that ID. Tried to give it my email address now to set it up but it doesn’t work. Tried to do the same and restore purchase as it’s all through the Apple App Store, but it tells me to enter a real email address. It absolutely a real address in working order. This is the only way I hope I can receive tech support.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Not free. Just like “Zombies, run!” this app is free to download but after week 3 you have to buy a membership to continue. Quit pretending to be free!!

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Will not even open. I can’t say anything about the actual content because the app crashes before getting past the loading screen. This is extremely frustrating to say the least and generally turns me off from everything by this dev.

11. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    IT WILL NOT WORK. Look, this app has worked in the past and I really like it. Even if the actual interface has always been a bit iffy, it’s still been great. BUT I HAVE BEEN TRYING START WEEK 8:1 FOR OVER AN HOUR AND IT WILL. NOT. WORK. I HAVE LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY TIMES IT HAS CRASHED. I HAVE RESTARTED MY PHONE. I’VE TRIED OTHER WEEKS. IT DOES NOT WORK. Please fix this app. I’m begging you. I just want to get back up to 5k. I’m so close.

12. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Developer doesn’t care that app not working. This is the response I was given after I notified the developer that the app didn’t fit my screen correctly, I’m running IOS 12.4.1 and it shows compatible with my device in the AppStore, “The app is compatible with iPad and will generally run normally on the iPad, we don't have any plans to change how it displays on larger screens. I'm sorry to disappoint you there.” This is horrible customer service, they obviously don’t care about their app and have no plans to keep developing it. Uninstall. This is latest response from the Developer below, he/she isn’t interested in updating the app to fix resolution for iPads, even though it clearly indicates this app is compatible with iPads, they are asking iPad users to settle for mobile phone screen dimensions on an iPad screen, which is beyond insulting ; Hi, Thanks for getting back to me! The app works fine on iPad. It will still play the audio and track runs. The only difference is that the screen size remains at mobile resolution. All the best, Ciaran

    You finish the run, but it doesn’t log anything. This is great for motivation to run. However it doesn’t log the runs and doesn’t give you credit for completing the workouts. You just have to remember which ones you've done. You can’t compare to prior workouts unless you have a fitness tracker or something. It says the gps signal is good, gives me voice cues about how fast I ran each mile, but then when I try to look at my run logs it says I haven’t done any.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Love he app. But it takes too long to load. I'm constantly tapping the button to load the first week and it takes upwards of 15 minutes if it even loads at all. Then it loads 3 times so it's like hearing an echo with the story playinf three times simultaneously. I've never had issues until these updates...but waiting 15- 30 minutes for the story to start has me looking for other options I'm on iphone by the way.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I love this app, but.... It’s crashing multiple times per workout. When it works, it’s 5 stars for me. When it doesn’t, it’s useless. I’m going to give it another week, then I’ll be looking for a new app.

16. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Six to Start must be hiring, because they are badly in need of testers.. Before StS rolled out the newest update, this app worked just fine -- it allowed me to use the accelerometer on my phone to track steps on the treadmill. Now, when I try selecting the "Step Counting" method of input, I get an error message informing me that this option is not available for my device. This was not a problem previously!

17. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    Update ruined an amazing app!. I've had this app for almost three years and it changed my life. I was about to complete it - entirely for the first time - and now I can't access any of the last 2 weeks. I'm absolutely devastated - please please please return access to these last levels!!

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No longer tracks run. Update flashes a screen when you select the mission and then doesn't proceed to the map screen. The intervals play but the app never acknowledges that you're moving and doesn't save the run.

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Apparently you have to pay twice.. I got this app a month ago and loved it. Super awesome! Until it suddenly updated and now I have to pay $4 to unlock the the last half of the work outs (which were available before) the workouts no longer complete and to top it all off it deleted 3 of my completed runs. Hope they fix it soon.

20. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Skipping intervals. Unusable. It skips intervals and the clock is off. Also deleted all my previous progress. I was a dedicated user if this app. I just downloaded C25K instead. Pity. I was looking forward to finishing the story.

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Terrible since update. I just got your "fix". It's still broken. As a paid user, you still do not allow me to access levels 4+. Rollback all this so we can actually use what we paid for. Once again, a company releasing something without testing it. Your app is completely worthless now since the update. The update erased the last 6 runs I've done and didn't save the run I just finished. Also, your story doesn't give the right time markers. For instance, in week 3, run 3, it keeps saying "you're 15 seconds in," and within the same breath, it'll say "45 seconds completed". Do you h e a QA that tests this stuff? What a complete waste of time and money I've spent trying to get ready for this 5k.

22. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Wish I hadn't updated. The app can't access my past runs, and I can't progress further in the course of things because the option to restore past purchases of the app is not working--ergo, no Week 5 and onwards. Surely all of this was spotted during testing, so this update was released . . . why?

23. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Please roll back to previous version until bugs in this one are fixed!!. As noted by other reviewers, this app is now mostly unusable and has far worse bugs than the old version it replaced. I have supported Zombies Run from the start and love their apps, but this update is a disaster. Can't unlock my previously purchased weeks (so there goes half of the app) and the timing on the running prompts is wacky. It says "ok run" and then immediately says "and slow to a walk" ... I think these bugs are bad enough that they should roll back to the previous version until this one is properly fixed and tested.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App won't log my runs complete and other glitchs. Tried twice to do mission one. The first time everything was fine until the end when I was given a 'mission complete'. When I opened the app to shut it down, it didn't log my run. Then when I tried to open the mission a second time it just kept trying to open the pop up that gives access to gps and music.

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Won't restore purchase and erased my progress. New version of the app erased my progress and won't restore purchases. Have emailed company... But they won't respond.

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Bad update. I loved the app before the update, but now I can no longer use it. It's now telling me I need to pay more to unlock the rest of my runs (I already fully paid for the app when I bought it) and has deleted half of my runs from record. Please restore the old version so I can continue with the program!

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Music Not Playing. New update and now I cannot get my music playing. I was charged to access the app again and the app isn't functioning.

28. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Just got back from a "run" where it quit in the middle. This is not the first time this has happened. App says 10 seconds left of running and then keeps going with no more transmissions. So, just left hanging. Can't complete the mission. It's pretty inconvenient and demoralizing to have to trouble shoot this buggy app in the middle of a workout. I'm going to get a more reliable 5K app.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don't Buy - Abandoned By Developer. App hasn't been updated in two years. It no longer functions with the connected Zombies! ecosystem so you cannot upload your runs to their site.

    Traducción al castellano.. He comprado la app,por que tengo la esperanza de que la traduzcáis al catellano.
