MORE PRAISE:
"Active.com’s Couch-to-5K is one of my favorite couch-to-5K apps. With its customizable features, interactivity, and well-rounded interface, I may actually stay off the couch this time."
—148Apps, October 2011
"I knew as soon as I decided to start the Couch-to-5K program that I would need something to keep me accountable—not just to showing up for my training, but to actually doing it properly. Of course there’s an app for that."
—CalorieLab, April 2012
"If you have been struggling to get your buns off the couch and somewhat in shape before the summer hits, training for a 5K is not a bad way to start. If you are looking for a program to help get you there, then the “Couch-to-5K” running plan by CoolRunning is probably your best bet if you haven’t done an ounce of athletic activity for a number of years."

[2013-01-04] A Google User: This won't Download to my phone I purchased it but says download unsuccessful |
|
[2013-01-01] A Google User: Absolutely great Has some music volume issues, but nothing major. Otherwise, tells you when to run and walk, easing into a 5k run. Maps route using GPS. Have never had trouble with it and I love it. |
|
[2013-01-01] A Google User: Love this app! Works perfectly! I am so happy with this app! I am in week four and really feel prepared to keep moving forward. It really paces you so every week your confidence is rising to motivate you to keep going. |
|
[2012-12-28] A Google User: Amazing It's perfect. |
|
[2012-12-28] A Google User: Only app I've ever paid for Just ran my first 5k! Zombie fun run & now I'm hooked! My husband just bought this app also & is getting ready for our next 5k. |
|
[2012-12-25] A Google User: Love the coach and map This great app works exactly as advertised. A virtual coach tells you when its time to run and time walk. The walking get less ever time and the running gets more until you are running thw whole way. The app even plots your run on a map using GPS. It even lets you play your own music while running. The only small thing it would like is the ability to play my Google music. |
|
[2012-12-24] A Google User: Exactly what I needed Exactly what I needed to get started training for a fun run. The GPS is off from the other app I use but the drill Sgt trainer giving me grief for taking a week makes up for it. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Keeps shuttingdown. I can't find anyone to talk to about this. It worked for the first time and now it keeps shutting down after a few seconds. |
|
[2012-12-10] A Google User: Yeah baby I can do this!!! Love till the day I run 25 min straight.... |
|
[2012-12-07] A Google User: I absolutely LOVE the app, but the app needs an auto pause or auto save! My phone shut down on me and I had to do the entire workout over!!! |
|
[2012-11-25] A Google User: Couch to 5k Fantastic program for a slug like me! It's working! |
|
[2012-11-16] A Google User: No Cals This app would get five stars however it does not give the calories that you burned while training. This seems like a pretty easy fix and I don't understand why this isn't a part of the app to begin with |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Was good After jelly bean update it crashes after few minutes of training |
|
[2012-11-12] A Google User: Great app.. Used to hate running. Now, I'm addicted. Can't believe how much this app has changed my lifestyle! |
|
[2012-11-11] A Google User: Great app Really helped out. |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Amazing Up to 4 mile runs now, if your willing to put in the pain and effort this app makes it easy to achieve 5k distances. Who knew running would be soon addictive, also lost 60 lbs in two months. GPS might have an issue but don't blame on developer for your phones hardware faults, besides its about time ran not distance when you first start running |
|
[2012-11-08] A Google User: Very impressive! This app is way better than I expected. The three coaches you can choose from are motivating and I LOVE the GPS app that accurately shows you the distance you've traveled and how long it took you. It would be nice though if you could just track a regular walk or jog without having to do a specific workout. But overal its fantastic. I've lost 8 pounds and I've only just finished week one! |
|
[2012-11-07] A Google User: Love it Amazing app! Went from being pregnant and bed ridden to running my first 5k before my daughter was 5 months old. This really works |
|
[2012-11-07] A Google User: Sucks Worked great for 2 weeks and now sucks. Doesn't track distance and time accurately. |
|
[2012-11-06] A Google User: Great for beginners-needs GPS fix The program itself is awesome...I just finished week 1 and can already feel a difference in my stamina! Only issue is that the GPS isn't always correct...I know I went further and by default, faster today but it says the opposite (ran exact same route). Not the end of the world but that change in pace is such a motivator!! Please fix!! |
|
[2012-11-05] A Google User: Worth every penny I really resisted buying this. I didn't even think I needed a program like this, but after trying and failing to establish a habit of running multiple times, I figured I might as well try this as a last resort. I'm only a few days in, but I can already feel the shift in my attitude (and even a slight improvement in my fitness!) It's a simple app, but amazingly effecient. Do yourself the favor and try it, at $2 it's just a cup of coffee in exchange for a serious improvement in your health. |
|
[2012-11-03] A Google User: Can't get past I like the app, but the jump from week three to week four is way too difficult and I can't finish the workout I just keep repeating week three over and over hoping I'll eventually be ready for week four. I ended up getting frustrated and quit |
|
[2012-11-03] A Google User: Only 1 flaw Would have been a 5 if the races listed weren't on the other side of the country from me |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Great App |
|
[2012-10-29] A Google User: So much potential. Love the app but every time I try to make a play list it crashes. So I'm stuck listening to songs I don't want. |
|
[2012-10-25] A Google User: Nothing more than a egg timer if used indoors. Unlike the Bluefin Software C25K app, this app does not support runners on treadmills. If you're running indoors it is nothing more than a timer. Bluefin's version allows you to enter your run/walk paces, running indoors/outdoors, kind of terrain, into the logs and calculates how much you ran vs walked and estimate of calories burned. |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: Gps GPS definitely would be great since I will need to know if im running fast enough for my two mile. Otherwise, I love the app! |
|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: Great I wish it would somehow link to play music from Spotify. Other than that its great! I'm running 25 minutes straight after not being able to run at all! |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: Pretty good overall This app is really nice. I like the voice cues and the fact that I can play my music through it. The only negative is that I cannot add partially complete workouts to the log. Not everyone finishes every workout completely, especially at the beginning. But with the app as it is, all the info about my workout is lost unless I complete all 30 min. :-( |
|
[2012-10-16] A Google User: Love the simplicty Accurate, easy to use. Would love a 1/2 marathon plan from Active. |
|
[2012-10-12] A Google User: Motivating Great app but gps keeps getting off. It does wiggly lines instead of straight... |
|
[2012-10-10] A Google User: One hickup... App crashes when trying to create a playlist. Works well other than that. |
|
[2012-10-10] A Google User: Great app But desperately needs the ability to back up and restore data. Not everybody lives in California. Show 5k events near me. |
|
[2012-10-10] A Google User: Great! I haven't looked this good in years!! Seriously, this app encourages your positive new life! The style needs more polish and refinement, but apart from that, great! |
|
[2012-10-06] A Google User: I have loved this app! Best part is the app accesses my music. Runs great. |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: Great app Great app, but I can't seem to get the GPS to work. I have a droid razr. Any help would be great. thanks. |
|
[2012-09-28] A Google User: GPS awful App itself is good but GPS appalling. My google map app loads straight away but I am waiting to set out on my second workout and after an hour the GPS has STILL not loaded. Not impressed! |
|
[2012-09-27] A Google User: Amazing. Never exercised before IBM my life. 32 years old. 7 weeks in and I am running 25 minutes straight... I really have to thank you guys. BTW, regarding playlists: just disable your in app music and Use your favorite music app instead. Worlds like a charm. |
|
[2012-09-27] A Google User: Disappointed I used to love this app, however when I had to get a replacement phone and reinstall it, the sound and trainers are gone! I also can't play my music. I've tried everything to fix this issue without success and am very frustrated! It is useless to me now. |
|
[2012-09-26] A Google User: Good App I like the app. It would be better if it told the run times after each interval like the other couch to 5k app does, but overall good. |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: A must have app This app makes running a 5K as easy as touching the icon. I love it. Works flawlessly, syncs with your playlist, and makes everything dead simple. I only wish it could somehow sync with the treadmill and figure out how fast I'm running and how far I've traveled. |
|
[2012-09-19] A Google User: Love it!!! Very easy to use and to the point. Love it. |
|
[2012-09-17] A Google User: Can't connect!!!!! I can not connect to facebook or make a new account with active trainer!!!!! That really stinks!!!! Other than those BIG problems for me, it is a pretty nice app. Fix the connect problems and I would rate a 5. |
|
[2012-09-16] A Google User: Ok Would be good but does not sync with music on my Galaxy Nexus. Please fix this. |
|
[2012-09-15] A Google User: Frustrated! I'm just getting started on a Couch to 5K program and have downloaded this app on my Android. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the music I have on my phone set up with this app and there is no help file. It looks like a really promising app, but so far, I'm not a happy camper. |
|
[2012-09-14] A Google User: Great app to get started Easy to use. Love that it gives me a prompt and also tells me when I am halfway there. Have recommended it to fiends already. Can use it while listening to Pandora. Only problem has been that it did not record my distance on my third run. Very bummed. Needed that pat in the back. |
|
[2012-09-12] A Google User: Just what I was looking for! Great but I want to see 5ks where I am not in San Diego. |
|
[2012-09-11] A Google User: Excellent program! Couldn't be easier to follow! |
|
[2012-09-10] A Google User: Great but would be nice if they had an "extreme couch potato" level. I just took the first walk/run. I'm sure this program will be great. So far I love it. But I think it will take more than 9 weeks, for me. I think this was made for people who just sat on the couch 5 minutes ago & not those who have been sitting there for 10 years, like me! But that's ok, it's worth the small fee even if I have to buy it again at the end of the 9 weeks. It's still cheaper than a real personal trainer & I'll be better off than if I just stay on the couch! |
|
[2012-09-10] A Google User: Money well spent! So far, so good. I love the music integrated with the app ans the trainer. |
|
[2012-09-10] A Google User: The best app ever!! For 1st time getting in shape gradually. Its addictive to do workout with :-) |
|
[2012-09-07] A Google User: Love it Okay so I hate..ed running, because I was always taught to run till you can't any more. This breaks it up for you! Stoked that I'm finally running and am actually looking forward to it after a long day. Just finished end of week 2. I'm sore everywhere but I love it! |
|
[2012-09-05] A Google User: Awesome! Love this App! Makes getting off my butt so much easier! |
|
[2012-09-02] A Google User: It works This app has got me from not being able to run more than 200 metres to running 5k in 22 minutes. Only problem is the gps isn't great but I normally combine this app with the Nike plus app so not a big deal. |
|
[2012-09-02] A Google User: No way to edit problems. At first, I really liked this app, but their website where everything is logged is incredibly difficult to navigate. It is very hard, if not impossible, to edit a workout if, say, the app crashes during cool down and sticks you with a recorded workout of 6156 miles at 00:00 minutes per mile. I have emailed their support people, and....nothing. Improve, please. |
|
[2012-09-01] A Google User: Like but need music help Just did my first workout..I really like the app but couldn't figure out how to import music..prob shouldn't have waited til I was ready to start jogging to try the music...tell me the running gets easier..I always hated running but closing in on 40 so need to get going and back in shape. |
|
[2012-08-31] A Google User: Recomendo Galera, Eu tinha 112kg e agora estou com 94. Parte do meu peso e do condicionamento eu devo a esse aplicativo. Já até participei de uma corrida de rua. |
|
[2012-08-28] A Google User: Eh. Not impressed. Does timers for me which is cool... but terribly inaccurate. Cheated me out of a third of a mile. Uninstalled. I prefer CardioTrainer |
|
[2012-08-27] A Google User: Gotta have it. I haven't had any of the mentioned problems. I listen to Pandora as I run and am even able to text and email as I go. I also love that I can change my coach depending on my mood so I finish no matter what. |
|
[2012-08-27] A Google User: Great AP! I'm in week 5..no complaints, does what it says |
|
[2012-08-26] A Google User: awesome makes it so easy |
|
[2012-08-25] A Google User: This app got me moving! I'm in week 8 of the program - stuck with it and love this app! If anyone had told me 7 weeks ago I'd be jogging for 25 minutes without stopping I would have thought they were nuts. I'm doing it! I'm 42 and wasn't an exerciser before starting. I'm inspired to try the 5K to 10K app next. The GPS and timer seem to work fine for me, no problems. |
|
[2012-08-24] A Google User: Becky Love the app, but has several issues. It will not post my results to Facebook. It keeps giving me an error. Also when I get a text msg the distance meeter goes back to -0-. Fix those issues and the app would be perfect!" |
|
[2012-08-23] A Google User: Awesome! I started this program 7 weeks ago. It has been great! My only complaint is sometimes "shuffle" isn't the greatest. It will play the first 3 songs over after about 5 songs -- doesn't do it all the time. |
|
[2012-08-23] A Google User: OK GPS is sporadic. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. You go the same route and get different distances from one day to the next. It would be better if you could repeat a week without writing over your old workout. |
|
[2012-08-21] A Google User: Love this app! I really love this app, ive never run before and it really helps me get out and get moving. My only issue is that the gps is screwed up or something. I run the exact same distance every time, around the outside of a local park, and it always comes up with a different distance each time but always very similar. I just wish it would pick a distance and stick with it so I would actually know how far I ran. Other than that this is a great app and I cant wait to get out and run each time. |
|
[2012-08-21] A Google User: Great app This is really helpful. Just had a c section and am getting back into it after 8 weeks of recovery and a rough pregnancy. this is a great way to ease back into it. The only thing i would like to see is a way to track calories burned, as well. Somewhere to enter your height and weight info to track weightloss along with progress toward fitness goals. |
|
[2012-08-21] A Google User: Awesome! I really like this app. It has really helped me to get started and not get discouraged. The only thing is the GPS is not always on track of what I actually did..please work on this. Other than that, I am really happy |
|
[2012-08-19] A Google User: Awesome!!!! I live that this app tells me when to walk and when to run. I don't have to spend the whole workout worrying when to start and stop! |
|
[2012-08-17] A Google User: Decent app Decent app, but won't work on inside track. Starts you out slow with good combo of walk/jog. Plays device music as you exercise. Not too many custom options. |
|
[2012-08-17] A Google User: Best 1.99 investment in my health! This is the first app I have ever paid for. It is so worth the 1.99. Much easier than following the workout program from paper. Love the gps and the trainer! |
|
[2012-08-15] A Google User: Not connected to online acct? Love it. But why isnt it ablw to connect to my online account and update my info? Also, there should be an option to type in distance for treadmill users |
|
[2012-08-13] A Google User: Major bug Can't upload to Facebook, will still use but ill have to rely on Endomondo for GPS mapping to share with friends, their losing valuable advertising |
|
[2012-08-13] A Google User: Great app! |
|
[2012-08-11] A Google User: Week 5 day 3 It says jog for 20 min. But the day before says jog 8 min. The day after says jog 10 minutes. The 20 min day is not in order. Other than that the app is great. |
|
[2012-08-09] A Google User: Love it |
|
[2012-08-09] A Google User: Fairly good app I don't have any regrets about purchasing this app. It is really useful for keeping track of my workouts. Don't expect to get much use out of the 5k event locator, unless you live in California. It would be cool if the app could use GPS to provide info about 5k in the app user's area. Also, would love to see music controls in the apps lock screen. |
|
[2012-08-07] A Google User: Great app I love this app. I am actually enjoying running. Th only promblem I am having is that the GPS gets wiped out if I receive a text or FB message. It clears out my distance ran and speed. The timer keeps voing, which is good, but there are very few day I know how far I actually ran. Please fix. |
|
[2012-08-03] A Google User: So far so good! Just finished my first week. Very easy to use! |
|
[2012-08-02] A Google User: Love this app This has been a great tool for me. I start Pandora on my phone and run this app and they mesh together beautifully |
|
[2012-07-27] A Google User: Serious problems on SG II Just ruined the first run I took it on, everytime the first run came up, the phone crashed and turned off. The issue reproduce sble every single time |
|
[2012-07-27] A Google User: Creating a playlist causes app to crash I'm having to listen to my whole music library as the app crashes when trying to create one with tunes for running which is very annoying |
|
[2012-07-27] A Google User: Great app! I've tried several times to run with this plan without the app but it was difficult to keep track if the time. My favorite part is the apps ability to let you know when go jog/walk. Awesome app and real easy to use! |
|
[2012-07-24] A Google User: Happy I couldn't run 500 metres before this app. I only needed to go to week 6 in the app n I can now run 6ks I'm so happy. It was worth the money thank you |
|
[2012-07-24] A Google User: Got me Going! Great App. Totally satisfied. |
|
[2012-07-23] A Google User: Awesome Makes starting a running program a very positive experience. |
|
[2012-07-23] A Google User: Not Awesome It stopped calculating the distance in week 7 when I wanted to see it most!! |
|
[2012-07-20] A Google User: Good app to start off with. Disappointed that it doesn't go longer than 30 minutes, it be cool if you could add time, only allows for 3 times a week. Do like the integrated music player. |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: My only complaint is that the mileage is not always accurate, otherwise it is perfect for what I needed. |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: Really like this app Great way to ease into running. |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: Nice Awesome App..halfway there and feel great.. |
|
[2012-07-15] A Google User: Simple to use I used the iPod version to get me ready for a 5k two years ago and it really did its work. |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: My goal overall was a mile. Doing my first 5K soon!! |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: Started well App works as designed |
|
[2012-07-12] A Google User: Great app! Definitely worth the money and more! I tried the Couch to 5K program before, but always got sidetracked by trying to keep track of time and the intervals. With this, i can just put my music on and a voice tells me when to run and when to walk! Highly recommend for anyone looking to become more active |
|
[2012-07-11] A Google User: Great App |
|
[2012-07-11] A Google User: Mediocre app - until it uninstalls after 9 weeks First off, you should know that the app will uninstall itself after the 9 week period, whether you are done with the program or not. I thought that was pretty cheap, when I buy an app I expect to have that app as long as I want it. This app did the basic thing I needed - keeping track of the time intervals - but everything else about it is pretty annoying. Logging workouts to the website required entering userID and pwd everytime, or using FB. The data on pace includes both the warmup/cooldown, so not useful for your actual running pace. GPS is limited to a map only, there is a much better GPS functionality in other apps. The cues for the longer time intervals are basic, just the halfway point. There is no "autopause" function that can tell when you're stopped for whatever reason. There is no way to move to later workouts, you have to "complete" each workout to get to the next one (fortunately, the app is not smart enough to know if you're actually moving, so...) This comes in handy if you accidentally hit the "quit" button while fumbling for your phone at the end of a workout and delete it. For $2, I guess it's okay, just know that it uninstalls at 9 weeks. |
|
[2012-07-11] A Google User: Great App I have no complaints at all about this app. It keeps me going and everything works fine. I would definitely recommend this app. I'm a brand new runner .. if I can do it, so can you. Get the app today! |
|
[2012-07-10] A Google User: Love it Absolutely love this ap! Its very useful and I'm seeing results! |
|
[2012-07-09] A Google User: Weightloss Great program, never any issue |
