Why It's the MOST POPULAR 5K Running App (reviews from the iPhone version)
---------------------------------------------------------------
IRONMAN LISTENS TO HIS OWN MUSIC"
"Not only did this app give me audio alerts telling me when I should run or walk, but I was able to listen to my own music from my iPod list instead of some other person's preference of motivational music."
– Matthew Murphy
Completed first 5k by week 7 (in 0:27:37). Has since done Ironman!
GREAT-GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER OF EMILY POST NOW RUNS
"I have NEVER been a distance runner – hated running warm ups in high school, was always the last one done, huffing and puffing the whole way. While I had heard of interval programs, I had never tried one or thought I could do it... until I found your app. It has been the missing piece that allowed me to break my weight loss plateau."
– Lizzy Post
FROM 365 POUNDS TO RUNNING THE 5K... IN 6 MONTHS
"In February of 2011, I weighed 365 pounds. I decided it was time to change. I began to look at programs to help beginning runners. I was convinced that this app from Bluefin Software was the best choice. On July 4th, I ran a 5K! If you're thinking about starting to run, I can tell you - without hesitation - that app from Bluefin is the best start."
– Mark D Rucker
Completed 5K and 10k. Signed up for half-marathon on Oct 23, 2011!

[2013-07-28] A Google User: Great 5k training app! Loved this app on my iphone and am so please to find it offered on Google ok play. Hoping it's worth buying it for a second time! Will give another review in a couple of weeks after I've had it for a bit. |
|
[2013-07-09] A Google User: Stats are all wrong Very disappointed in this app because the stats are completely wrong. |
|
[2013-07-06] A Google User: Anyone can do this! |
|
[2013-07-06] A Google User: Gps is atrocious Gps doesn't work well at all. Needs an update since it's been almost a year. |
|
[2013-06-05] A Google User: Update needed The iPhone version felt more polished, and the run timings were better in my opinion. Please provide the upgrade which was sent for the iPhone a few months ago. |
|
[2013-05-18] A Google User: Love the program; very nice interface I had a heart attack last Nov (2012). Started the program late Jan. Had an on again off again relationship with program but I finally got to week 8 last week in April. I ran my first 5k today--the Semper Fi 5k in DC. I finished w/o stopping in 30:09. |
|
[2013-05-15] A Google User: Something better? Let the search for something better begin...always crashes mid workout.... anyone know how to get my money back? |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: Droid? I loved this app on my iPhone but on my HTC Evo 4G LTE, my times are all completely wrong. I've watched it while walking and the average pace time will shift from fifteen minutes to twenty-five minutes back down to six... within seconds. Not sure if it's a Droid problem but it's kind of a big deal. I still use the app because I like the program, but I have no idea how fast or slow I am going... |
|
[2013-04-22] A Google User: Not ready for nexus4 screen I used this application in my previous iPhone 4 and it works very well. Now I bought for my nexus 4 but the application is not ready for this resolution. We hope a new version with this bug fixes. Thanks and great job! |
|
[2013-04-06] A Google User: 2nd 5k today! I will never be a runner! That's what I always have said. In January, I started to do this with a friend and with no expectations. Today I am running my second 5k! And I don't plan on stopping, its funny how you have a feeling that this will be something you will be doing for the rest of your life. Some features that I thought were great is the journal feature, that it pulls my playlists so I don't have to use another app, and the progression of the workouts from week to week. Highly recommend! |
|
[2013-04-01] A Google User: No music, screen misalignment Will not show any music or playlists on any of my devices. On my nexus 7, screen misaligned on the part where you select the week and day. I suspect this app isn't compatible with android 4.1+. (Jelly Bean). Too bad, this app used to be great. Fix the issues! |
|
[2013-03-11] A Google User: Great C25K App I have been disappointed that some features availableon the iPhone version of this app are not available here. |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Good for getting into running This is perfectly suited for beginning runners who have limited or no experience with running, but want to get started. There's no mucking around with this app -- following its program is as simple as just going out there, hitting start, and following the audio cues. The price is right, and the GPS tracking is cheap as chips and quite nice to have. The calorie counter is handy if you're running to lose weight, too, and you'd be surprised how easily hundreds of calories fall when you get into the later weeks. If you're coming here for your New Year's Resolution, this is the app you're looking for. |
|
[2012-12-08] A Google User: Biz owner Program runs great and it has made it very easy for this 50 year old non-athlete start running. The time alerts are very helpful. But GPS when comparing the same program run with my husband who runs with me using Ease into 5k as well we don't get the same distance results. My program does not have access to the distance run tab and the workout tab. These would be advantagous when continuing our run after program stops. |
|
[2012-12-04] A Google User: Great! I can now run 5k no isseu Onky thing cannot find continous mode with the android version |
|
[2012-12-04] A Google User: Great App, Poor Layout It doesn't scale with the Galaxy Note II's amazing screen. Other than that, it's five stars. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Does not support large screens As the title says. App still runs and is quite good but the buttons and layout do not fit large screens. HTC one x |
|
[2012-11-08] A Google User: Cool app This app is pretty cool but and helpful. I totally recommend it |
|
[2012-10-26] A Google User: Weak Have to buy gps tracking on top of app purchase. Runkeeper does this for free. |
|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: Works okay I love this ap when it works. Sometimes it leaves me hanging though, for example I was on my cool down and felt like it had been 2 long, I looked down and it was closed, and my workout was not even n my journal. Does the same thing occasionally n the middle of a run. Please fix! |
|
[2012-10-11] A Google User: Love it! |
|
[2012-10-11] A Google User: Almost great I like the app a lot, but it does not track my running and walking pace correctly. When I'm actually running the pace seems to be accurate, but the pace that it saves in the journal is completely wrong. Other than that it works great and I really enjoy using it. |
|
[2012-10-06] A Google User: GPS not accurate! I love this app and everything is done for me in the sense of it me outside in running but when it comes to calculating my actual miles it's off a little bit please update and make more accurate. |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: Great I will recommended....... |
|
[2012-09-27] A Google User: In desperate need of an update! This is or was a great app, but since my phone has been updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 the entire app only takes up 1/4th of the screen, its not even centred in the display. It works fine nevertheless but I am unable to listen to my Google Music through this app. I don't store music on my phone, only on my Google music account. So please fix the display resolution and allow Google music and you'll be onto a winner. |
|
[2012-09-18] A Google User: Barely useable Today I completed to C25K program, no thanks to this app. After upgrading it to include the GPS run tracking feature it regularly failed to track large chunks of my runs outside in the open air. The runs it did manage to track often reported completely crazy and useless stats. Worst of all it would just hang in the middle of a run leaving me out of breath waiting for a walk break and fiddling with the app to salvage the run: very annoying. Get a free run trainer and My Tracks for tracking instead. |
|
[2012-09-15] A Google User: Love it Love this app. I am running 5k and improving every time. Love how it tracks and saves your run on the map. Considering bridge to 10 k |
|
[2012-09-14] A Google User: GPS flat out doesn't work. I love the program, but the GPS doesn't work. Every time I try to use GPS to track a run, it doesn't end up acquiring a signal and I wind up with no run data for that workout. If the GPS were free, it wouldn't be a big deal. Updated to add that tech support is useless: they emailed once about the GPS not working and then never responded again. The fixes they suggested in the email included gems like "turning on the GPS feature on your phone." Thanks for the "help"... |
|
[2012-09-12] A Google User: Amazing app Great app!! |
|
[2012-09-08] A Google User: Best app I ever bought but... Droid RAZR, Update...on my last week, GPS is garbage do not download unless you want to be discouraged. Overall the app itself is a great motivator, I am on week 8 and I am in the best shape of my life. I use to hate running, now I love it! |
|
[2012-09-01] A Google User: Awesome I love this app! |
|
[2012-08-25] A Google User: I love the challenges this app has thrown at me! Without it, I'm sure I couldn't accomplish my running goal to a 5k without it! |

[2012-08-23] A Google User: Very Good App I really like this app, and it is definitely helping me to run (I actually look forward to running days - I'm in week 6). The GPS works for me (HTC EVO 4G) for the map, but it doesn't calculate running & walking paces correctly. I also wish the Facebook/Twitter status updater would give run specific info like other apps I've seen instead of just being an ad for the program. |

[2012-08-22] A Google User: Love it I especially like the large display that I can see with just a glance. I also like the cues that let you know how much longer until I can walk:-) |

|
[2012-08-13] Summer: Best app I ever bought but... Droid RAZR, GPS works when it feels like it and is hardly ever accurate, playlist plays some songs over and over instead of shuffling and when I get into my running zone I dont like breaking my concentration to click next, calculating my time worked until week 4, now it says I walk faster than I run and I know thats not correct....overall great app, motivates me, never able to run longer than a minute until now. |
|
[2012-08-11] A Google User: Meh The base app is solid but don't buy the GPS feature. It works some of the time, if you look at my maps it looks like I teleport from street to street and there is no way as a beginner that I am running a 3 minute mile. Emailed their support for help with the GPS got one response to help trouble shoot but when that failed they stopped responding |

[2012-08-02] A Google User: google music I have been using this app for a week, and really love it. I have a samsung transform ultra though, and downloaded google music to use with it. I created a playlist, stored it on my device, but still am not able to see the playlist in the ease into 5k app under music. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. Any help would be great. |

(even playlists I create with on-device only music) Is there a fix for this, or perhaps I am doing something wrong......??? |

[2012-07-24] A Google User: Cant access journal, or post to fb I have the android version, and I like the pacing, and the intervals. However, I cant add music (can work with that though) but the more annoying issue is I cant access the journal except for RIGHT after I finish. I also cant post to fb unless I do it right at the end. if I could use all the features, I would give it 5 stars. |

Can't tell u if the voice is synced or not bc I CAN'T EVEN GET TO THAT PAGE IN THE APP! If the programmers of my free apps can get it right, can you please fix this one since I freaking paid for it? Then i'll rate it back at a 5 |
|
[2012-07-03] A Google User: Very Good The app is very good, it does seem to have some bugs. I was running yesterday and it told me "last run coming up" So I ran my last run only to have it tell me to run again after the walking phase. Map is pretty cool, distance tracker works good , the average time per mile are off sometimes. But all in all a very good app. Just fix the bugs. |

[2012-06-12] A Google User: Good but GPS is next to useless For the second time in a row, the app has not registered any statistics from my run, despite the GPS on my phone being turned on. It's ridiculous that I spent extra money on something that barely works. Despite all that, it's not a bad app, I'm nearly on my 3rd week and I'm getting used to it. I'm a chunky guy so the fact that I've been on nearly 9 runs says a lot. Couple of things that annoy me: 1) Stopping the music at the end is hard work and I've even ended my workout early by pausing it. 2) I'd like the option to be able to delay my workout start by a minute or two so I can get my phone armband on, get my jacket/hoody on and get outside. Other than that, I like it. Needs a LOT of work though. |
